It is important to be able to use what you have learned. So, let's review some of the things we have touched on over the past two months of my blog postings...
1.) Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
2.) Wear comfortable clothing and properly fitted shoes.
3.) Exercise should not be painful! No pain - No gain is a MYTH!
4.) Start slowly and build up your exercise time and reps.
5.) Swimming and walking are two of the best exercises.
6.) Results do not happen over night. There is no magic 5 minute exercise!
7.) Vary your routine and have fun. Be good to yourself.
8.) Be sure you hydrate before, during and after your exercise routine.
9.) Stretch your muscle groups before and after your routine; warm up and cool down.
10.) Develop good eating habits and a healthier lifestyle.
11.) Movement is essential to a healthy, happy life.
One of the best definitions of learning is this - Learning is that process of the mind that allows us to take in new information, retain it, and make a permanent change in our potential behavior.
Here is an anecdote that shows the importance of listening and learning...
For several days a battleship assigned to a training squadron had been on maneuvers in heavy weather. The captain stayed on deck because of poor visibility, caused by patchy fog. Shortly after dark the Lookout on deck reported "Light bearing object on the starboard bow."
The captain asked, "Is it steady or moving astern?" he Lookout replied, "Steady, Captain." This meant they were on a dangerous collision course.
"Signal that ship that we are on a collision course and advise that they change their course by
20 degrees." The reply was "I advise you change your course by 20 degrees."
The captain sent his reply. "I am a Captain and you are to change your course by 20 degrees." The reply was "I am a Seaman Second Class. You need to change your course by 20 degrees."
By now the captain is furious! He spat out his reply, "I am a battleship. Change your course!" Back came the reply, "I am a lighthouse!" The battleship changed course.
This additional information let the captain and his crew know that they were in danger - headed for an ultimate and untimely death. Have you ignored the danger signs about your health? It is not too late to change your course. Adopt a healthier lifestyle - choose a healthier diet and a realistic exercise plan.

I have attached a fun photo from one of my appearances on GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.
It seems appropriate.
