BE THE BALL

Every now and again I read something that for whatever reason hits me differently. Here is a bit of an article that hit me this morn-

Act "As If"
"Who do you want to be? How do you want to live? What's your ideal? Do you want to be in terrific physical shape?Happy?Enlightened?
Act as if everything you desire is already here,"advises Dyer.  "Treat yourself as if you already are what you'd like to become." In other words, whatever your ideal is, picture that image. Then, on a moment-to-moment basis, act "as if" you already are that person."

FITNESS MOVE OF THE DAY
This you don't get to 'act as if', actually do it.:)
Crunches.  Having core strength is important for so much of daily activity.  Lay on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.  Legs parallel to each other and hip width apart.  Place your fingers tips on the back of your head and keep your elbows wide.  Never pull on your head and keep your elbows wide throughout the movement.  Tighten up your stomach muscles.  Exhale and actually think about using your abdominal muscles to lift your upper body.     If you have any pain stop and work on tightening and releasing your stomach muscles 30 times without straining your neck or any other muscles.  It takes time to learn how to use the abdominal muscles.  If you don't have pain do 30 crunches lifting and lowering without using hands or neck.  Let me know if you have questions.


Keep Moving
