Bounce and Shake Your Way to Better Health and Fitness

There are numerous exercise regimens and as well as a multitude of exercise equipment that promise amazing physiques however few have the simplicity and effectiveness of the bounce and shake regimen. No equipment necessary and easy to do with limited space and you can start with as little as 5 minutes twice a day. What I love about the bounce and shake routine is that it is gentle on the joints and easy enough for most individuals to get started with. I love doing the bounce and shake when we travel and I can do it right in my hotel room.

By simply standing with my feet shoulder length apart with my knees bent I simply bounce my legs, torso and my arms back and forth with special care not to lift my feet from the ground. I can be wearing even loose comfortable clothes and not necessarily any special clothing like you would normally wear for working out. In effect by employing this simple regimen it is like working on re-bounder without the need of any equipment.

The Importance of Maintaining A Stretching Routine

We all know that stretching is an important part of any workout program, but how often do we really follow through and do it. I am currently training for my second marathon and I often fail to do much stretching at the end of my workout. I am also not doing a regular stretching routine on my off training days. As you an tell by my last sentence we typically do not think of stretching as being of equal importance as the rest of our training. This is a huge mistake. I can feel tightness in my muscles, especially in the back of my legs, and I may be setting myself up for a future injury. I’m not sure why we knowingly do things, or in this case don’t do things, that could lead to possible injury and decreased performance. The fact is that if you will just work to increase your flexibility with a good stretching program it will be easier to maintain that level of flexibility in the future.

The Life Enhancing Benefits of Water

The simple act of drinking enough of quality source of filtered water will greatly support optimal health. Water makes up more than two thirds of the weight of the human body, and without it, humans would die in a few days. The human brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%. A mere 2% drop in our body’s water supply can trigger signs of dehydration: fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on smaller print, such as a computer screen. Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue. An estimated seventy-five percent of Americans have mild, chronic dehydration. Pretty scary statistic for a developed country, where water is readily available through the tap or bottle.
