 Every
hour you spend walking may add 2 hours to your life,
research suggests. Brisk walking can help trim your risk
of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and
depression. But while you walk, squeeze your glutes and
engage your core to strengthen your muscles and cut your
risk of injury. Try not to just walk forward from the
thighs or hip flexors. Squeeze and step.
Keep your shoulders relaxed so your arms swing freely,
and so your back and neck don't tense up. Keep your arms
bent. Swinging them will propel you forward and help you
move faster. Don't use hand weights. They put stress on
your elbows and shoulders.

Believe In Yourself
 Many
people underestimate the power of their own imagination.
It is a divine gift meant for us to create with!
Everything that surrounds us was once in the mind of
someone who was daring enough to bring it into
existence.
It is rational and logical to know that everything once
existed in imagination before it became reality. An
architect draws a rendering, blueprints, specifications,
before the contractor can build the building. A computer
has to be conceptualized in the imagination before it
can be created.
Think positively. Think about what you ‘do’ want in your
life rather than what you don’t have.
Meditate upon your desired outcomes in life. This is the
only way you can have it.
And, you CAN have it if you practice positive thinking,
positive attitudes, positive imagination and focused
concentration.
