Title: What's your favorite way to get healthy?
Post by: DeliriousKris on December 31, 2011, 08:41:10 am
Do you like to jog/run?
Swim?
Dance?
Go to a gym?

Where do you go and what do you do to stay in tip-top shape?

I used to go to a Zumba class with my sister-in-law, but the holidays kinda got in the way of that, and depending on my work schedule, I may not get to go anymore.

My husband really enjoys riding his bike though, and come tax time, we're going to get me one too and go on long bike rides together once the weather is nice.

I am a senior citizen and I love to ride my bike. It is low impact and I can pedal as fast or slow as I desire. Plus I can pick out a different route everyday. :)

And it's a great way to take advantage of a beautiful day out!
Lately it's been beautiful here and I'm so bummed that I don't have a bike to ride yet!

I love Zumba!

As far as fun in my own home, having an XBox Kinect keeps my cardio going strong! They may look silly, but games like "Just Dance" and "Zumba Fitness" are actually pretty intense!

First and foremost, I need to quit smoking, then I will probably start with some light jogs and healthier food.

I love to swim. I think it's the part where it works all your muscles and you don't have to do separate exercises. Plus it is just so easy for me, so it's something I have fun doing all while getting my exercise.

I'm the 'no time for the gym" type of person
walk as much as I can, take the stairs as much as I can -- I park far away from doors, etc.
I also carry things like my grocery bags, etc rather than always toting around the cart to help build/tone muscles

I have Zumba for the Wii, and I love playing it.
It's not quite as fun as going to a class with your friends, but it's still great!

That'd be a great start...

I hate running, so I walk (I love taking advantage of beautiful days) and as soon as I get a bike come tax time, I'll ride it too.
I do love to swim though!
I'm much more a water person than a land person when it comes to exercise.

They say you are what you eat so I watch what I eat.

Sometimes (like during the holidays for me) that's not as easy though...
Do you exercise at all?
Sometimes just eating well isn't good enough.

Watch what I eat and try to do a little bit exercise every day!!

Starting today (Because now all the big food holidays are done for another year, and because it's a brand new year) I'll be doing this very same thing!

I love swimming too!
I swam 3 of 4 years in high school (senior year I got a job and didnt have time anymore)
I miss it so much and really want to get back in to lap swimming.

Every little bit helps, right?
For me, the stairs sometimes even seem faster than taking an elevator!
And it's less stressful to fight for a front row parking space than to just park in the back.
Walking won't kill you!

As soon as my husband and I get our tax money back, we plan on getting bikes.
He already has one, but it's too big for him, so we're going to sell it and get him a smaller one.

I do it with decadence. I eat oatmeal cookies with lots of bran and raisins that way I'm killing two birds with one stone. The tricky way is to use honey or raw unprocessed sugar but half as much as the recipe calls for and you can also sweeten with apple sauce or bananas they taste great.  :angel11:

I love that feel-good feeling after a workout!
I just got back from a 3-mile walk, and though it was pretty chilly...I feel great!

I try to eat healthier, like more fruits, vegetables, less meat, drink more water and less surgery drinks, take supplements, go for walks and get plenty of rest.

I am doing whey protein my influence comes from YouTube videos. I use the crockpot to cook meat which is healthy and taste so good. I have to get a gym membership but I am good on my water intake.

I definitely agree
Unfortunately, that's my weak point. I LOVE FOOD!
I have no problem working out...but I want to eat all the time.

There are several ways to get health, and not just exercise.

Exercise is important though.  We like walking, dancing, biking, and going to the gym when we can afford it.  However, most of those are difficulat in the wintertime with snow and ice, so it's all inside stuff such as dancing, whole body vibration, chi machine, mini trampoline, and walking up and down the stairs, which our computers and office is upstairs.

Besides the exercise, tis the season to detox.  That's right!  All that holiday food that people pigged out on, needs to be cleanses out of the body.

Soooo.... for me it will be a 5 week candida cleanse, then a deep colon cleanse, and lastly a gallbladder/liver flush (ugh).

6 steps actually for health.
1.  Detoxification:  (Body cleanse, fasting, juicing, colon, liver, gallbladder, kidney, parasite cleanse, candida cleanse, blood cleansing, etc....)
2.  De-acidfication  (Body pH on the alkaline side.  Superfoods, green drinks, leafy greens, alkaline water (south spun ala Farm Physics)
3.  Boosting immunity naturally  (fresh air, sunshine, organic diet (raw fruits and veggies, if you can stand it)
4.  Oxygenation therapies (Cellfood, chi-machine, deep breathing, food grade hydrogen peroxide, Oxysilver, etc...)
5.  Bio-electric therapies (zappers, Rife, MRS 2000, PAP-IMI, PEMF, Magnetic Pulser, Bob Beck blood electrification, etc...)
6.  Rebuilding (quality vitamins, quality colloidal minerals, amino acids, systemic enzymes, NCR, AtlasProfilax, Blair upper cervical, quality weight training, etc...

South spin all fluids ala David Kaas book Farm Physics: A New Cure and More!  Do a search if you want.

Avoiding drugs (including pharmaceuticals), avoiding artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, splenda, sweet n low, etc...  Do a search on Dead Doctors Don't Lie.  Water must be free of fluoride, chlorine, etc...  it can be distilled, spring water, but best south spun with the south side of magnets. 

There are other things to avoid too, but I don't have the time to write a book here in the forum.  Just the basics are good enough to get most people started, who want to improve their health.

Have a healthy 2012!

I like to exercise my brain a lot.  It's as simple as using your opposite hand to do normal things throughout the day.  Or you can simply read a book out loud instead of in your head.  It doesn't take a lot of effort to train the old brain and the results pay off in the long run.  Give it a try!

You start by eating healthier, exercising both physically and mentally.  Although it maybe be difficult in the world we live in, but it can be done.

I don't know that there are many people who like this type of excersizing.  It's not fun so I can't say any would be my favorite.  There are some I like less than others though.  Against the others I will take running/jogging.

That's a little hard core for me...
I think I'll just stick to my basics by incorporating more fruits and veggies, drinking water 95% of the time and getting active as much as I can during the day.

Definitely trying to lower stress levels, sleep more, eat right and watch what you intake (less sugar and processed food), and I personally love HIID training (high intensity interval training), so lots of walking, running, swimming, and cycling, either outside or in the gym. I love working out.

I cannot run anymore with the rod in my leg, and the broken inside fracture in my foot. But I used to love to run, it was a great stress reducer.
