 Core
Synergistics is a workout that recruits multiple muscle
groups to build and support the core (lumbar spine and
trunk muscles), while at the same time conditioning your
body from head to toe. These exercises can improve the
functioning of your body, especially your limbs,
providing a bridge between your upper and lower body.
This week we focus on, Training The Core with P90X
Style.

To maximize your strength training workouts and
the muscle growth that happens between them,
limit your training to no more than
60 minutes at a time. On occasion, you can
stretch it to 75 minutes—at most.

Words of Inspiration
 Our Attitude says it All
Thoughts are things and whatever thoughts we hold in
mind consistently take fruition. If we want good things
to happen in our life, we should hold good, positive
thoughts in our mind. Misery begets misery. So, if your
thoughts are miserable, expect to lead a miserable life.
At the same time, positivity begets positivity. So, if
your thoughts are positive, expect good things in life.
"Every black cloud has a silver lining." That should be
our attitude. Learn something from every bad
experience/situation and move on.
