One way of fighting boredom and
also increasing the intensity and results from your training program is to take
up - composite training. This is a combination of several different
cardiovascular exercises, done one after the other. One example is, bicycling 15
minutes (after a warm-up and stretching the muscles used) to a track or running
course, running or jogging 10-15 minutes, then bicycling back home, followed by
a cool-down and stretching those muscles used. Or, if you work out in a health
club, you could walk on a treadmill for 10 minutes (after warm-up and stretching
the muscles used) and do the stairstepper for an additional 10 minutes. If
you're shooting for 30 minutes total in duration, you could then go right to the
rowing machine and finish with a final 10 minutes, followed by a cool-down and
stretching the same muscles as before. |

The Seed
We are full of energy and in need of direction. When that energy is guided
toward creative achievement, the results can be spectacular. Plant the seed of
encouragement in the fertile ground of a person's life, and it will grow into
magnificent accomplishments.
Anyone has the capacity to do great things, yet far too few know it or believe
it. No matter how fertile the ground may be, if no seed is planted, nothing will
grow. How many lives have been wasted in misery and destruction because they
never received even the smallest seed of positive encouragement?
A seed is tiny. Yet when it is planted in the right place and at the right time,
and nurtured with care, that tiny seed can grow into a ceaselessly abundant
harvest.
Think of the lives around you where the seed of encouragement can take root and
grow. Think of the difference you can make when you encourage yourself and when
you offer your encouragement to others. Think of the seeds that you have the
opportunity to plant. Spread the seeds of encouragement far and wide, and
delight in the bountiful harvest that they will surely bring.

"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?"
