 To
make the most of your time and achieve the fastest
results possible, use compound movement exercises that
deliver the most in short duration. Perform eight to 12
reps each exercise. Perform all reps of exercises in
succession without resting in between, then rest for 90
seconds and repeat two or three more times.

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 your 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.
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.
