 Changing
the number of reps per set is a good way to add variety
to your routine. This can be done by using 12 reps per
set for 1 week, 10 reps per set the next week, 8 the
following week, and finally 6 reps per set on the 4th
week. At this point you can either climb back up the
ladder and go back to 8 reps the next week, or you can
jump back up to 12 reps a set and work your way back
down.

Causes and results
 For
any given cause, there is a result that is usually
inevitable. If you let go of a book at waist height, it
will fall to the floor. If you eat a diet rich in fat
and sugar, you will gain fat. If you live with greed,
anger and envy in your heart, your life will be filled
with lack and limitations.
Though you can rarely change the cause and result
relationship, what you can most certainly do is control
the causes. That is the way to bring the results you
desire. Wishing that you could get wealthy by following
the latest get-rich-quick scheme will not bring about
the wealth you desire.
The result of material wealth comes from the cause of
extended effort, innovation of real value. Results don't
happen randomly. They have specific causes.
When you're not getting the desired results, pay close
attention to the causes you're bringing about. The most
reliable way to get any result you desire, is by
instigating the accompanying cause. It is a simple,
sensible concept with enormous power to change your
life. |

 This total body workout targets the upper and lower body with a variety of
exercises that can be done while seated.
Although a greater proportion of you rests on the floor, the increase in sensory
response provided can give you even more of an idea of where you
core is and how
you lift.
Always come to the floor exercises fresh. Feel your seat bones on the
floor and lift your body up from them. Allow the
hips to hinge; do not collapse
them and bend from the spine. Most of all, remember that any Forward Bend comes
from the hips, regardless of the length of the legs.
