Jumping rope may sound silly, but
star boxers like Evander Holyfield and Muhammad Ali stayed in top shape skipping
like schoolgirls. Look for a good one, though, not a cheap, plastic kid's rope.
You'll want some weight in the rope section and a good swivel where the rope
meets the handles so that the rope turns easily. And expect to take a few tries
before skipping comes naturally. Besides it not call for a big investment in
those heavily priced machines.
Remember to keep in your abdomen and breathe regularly for a good cardio
workout. Begin at low intensity and build up slowly as your body adapts to the
change. |

SEEKING OPPORTUNITY
An opportunity is a situation in which you can make a difference, a set of
conditions that is ripe with possibilities for growth, improvement, and
accomplishment. A lost opportunity never comes back, so we must seize them where
we find them.
Each day brings to us all kinds of opportunities -- to learn, to find
joy, to offer encouragement toward others, to help, to comfort, to strengthen
relationships, to experience new things, to overcome challenges.
Opportunities are life's way of urging us to go on. Only when we seize
them and make the most of them can we move forward. Every day is filled
with opportunities. How many of them are you seeing? How many are you utilizing?
There are plenty of opportunities available to everyone. Those who value,
respect and live out the opportunities are the ones we refer to as
winners. Look out for the wealth of opportunities in the day. See them and
use them!

"If you are serious
about your goals, drop the conditions. Go Directly to
your goal. Be your goal! Conditions often disguise
strategies for escaping accountability. Why not just
take charge and create the experience you are looking
for?"

Healthy eating for Every
Body Shape
What you eat and drink, coupled with your exercise routine, affects your body
condition. Regardless of your basic shape, your proportions and your scale, you
will look your best when you take care of your body from within as well as from
out, and learn to view food and drink as fuel for your health and beauty.
The Eight Essentials
1. Eat five portions of fresh fruit and/or vegetables a day. This will get
you the essential nutrients (vitamins and minerals ) you need to keep fit, keep
cool and fight disease. Plus the fibre from the freshies helps you clear out
waste and absorb the benefits from other foods.
Keep the refrigerator and fruit bowl stocked. Either eat them as snacks or
discipline yourself to eating one meal a day of just veggies or fruit.
