EXERCISE IS ESSENTIAL

Exercise is a crucial part of a healthier, cleaner lifestyle. It stimulates good blood and oxygen flow throughout the body. This immensely helps our bodies to function properly more regularly. Exercising to the point of sweating is important to release all the impurities in your body. I guess you could say that it is much like an internal cleanse. I was a certified aerobics instructor at age 25, if you will, I would like to share several bits of knowledge that I have learned through my experiences throughout the years that are effective in a good exercise routine and in promoting a cleaner lifestyle.


They are:


20-30 minutes of cardio 

3 or more days a week 

Body is burning fat after 30 minutes of aerobic activity

Steady breathing throughout

Moving the larger muscles is more effective

Stretching is important (helps release some of the impurities and protects from injury and soreness)

Get into the habit of wiping or rinsing your sweat to keep the impurities out of your body.

Stomach needs special attention (recommended at least 100 sit ups a day)

Weights help burn fat (more weight, less repetition builds muscle, less weight, more repetition slims muscle)

Consistency is the key to an effective exercise plan

Always drink plenty of water

Consider the following common ways to exercise just to share a few:

  • Walking

  • Jogging

  • Bicycling

  • Gym workouts

  • Treadmill

  • Elliptical

  • Yard work

  • Instructor Routines

  • Weight lifting
  • Sports Activities
  • Housework
  • Water Activities
  • Park the car further away from store to get more steps
  • Many, Many More


In an attempt to facilitate the requirement to sweat your impurities out, a 15-30 minute sauna experience helps, but it does not replace the effectiveness of activity induced sweat. And always drink plenty of water when you indulge in the sauna experience. I never profess to be perfect at these endeavors.  So, honestly, I love my sauna because as I have gotten older, I am not as good about working out until I sweat every time.  And I can tell when I need to sweat some of those impurities out.  The sauna is an excellent tool to assist in this form of cleanse. Works for me.  


Whichever form of exercise you decide to include in your daily life, I hope it is effective and exhilarating for you in its own way.


God Bless and Happy Exercising!!
