I have strong feelings about how to live well and be happy. This isn't to say that I believe that life should be perfect and without "bumps" in the road. I do try very hard to not become overwhelmed by the details of day to day living and enjoy the big picture, smell the flowers so to speak. My routine chores are connected in such a way that they work on helping the inner self. I firmly believe that we should eat "close to the earth" and that we all need to exercise both our physical body and our minds. In January of 2009 I started with Beachbody with reservations that a DVD workout would not be effective, boy was I wrong. I love the workouts that I have from Beachbody and look forward to them every day. I am now in the best shape I have ever been at 45 years of age. I can honestly say I will not go back to the aimless gym workout I had been doing as P90X and ChaLEAN extreme really helped me when I needed it the most.

Growing up a pseudo homesteader started my interest in gardening and healthy living. Gardening and exercise are the things that occupy much of my free time. Exercise can take many forms; I now do Yoga to improve flexibility, I have been weightraining for 20+ years and ride a recumbant bike during the week. The beauty of weightraining is that you can start at anytime and continue into the twilight years of your life. Beyond the fact that you will look and feel better, you will create wonderful lifetime benefits.
