KEEP it SIMPLE
• Exercises should be done sensibly - warm up slowly before exercising vigorously.
• Exercise is only dangerous when it is forced upon us suddenly and when we are not rationally prepared for it.
• Exercise upon rising each morning or midway in between meals. Never exercise just before or just after a meal.
• The best place to exercise is in the open air, exposed to the sunshine.
• Exercises are best done lightly clad – in this way you receive a sunbath, an air-bath and exercise simultaneously.

Exercises for Play and Exercise for Purpose
It has been well said that exercises that are performed routinely and unthinkingly are almost valueless and become a boring drill.
• Find your space and fill it with movement that touches every part.
There is no need to listen to what someone else has to say about your movements – move according to your own rhythms.

Henry David Thoreau said - “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears; however measured or far away"
Unfortunately nearly all occupations force us to act one-sidedly.
• They cause some parts of the body to become too relaxed or weak while other parts are too tender or hard.
• This causes the stronger parts to pull the weaker parts out of shape.
• When this happens they function imperfectly

An exercise program should be simple and capable of performance by all people without undue difficulty.

It seems as tho the topic of EXERCISE has popped up and so lets devote a few posts to this.
Of all the adjustments that can be made toward better health - it seems as tho 'exercise' is one of the ones that is promoted - sometimes above other factors.
I will take as my thesis, Chpt 5 in my book...A Lifestyle for Health and Happiness

EXERCISE
“Life is Activity”
Better to hunt in fields, for health unbought,
Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught,
The wise, for cure, on exercise depend;
God never made his work for man to mend.

Exercise is simply a normal biological requirement along with food, relaxation, sunshine, fresh air, pure water and a positive mental attitude.
Therefore, like these other biological requirements, it is part of a natural lifestyle.
However, our attention should only focus on exercise after we have provided the body with the best nutrition available.
Exercise is for everyone – young, old, male, female - and it is not necessary to have special apparatus or access to a gymnasium.

However, our attention should only focus on exercise after we have provided the body with the best nutrition available.
Exercise is for everyone – young, old, male, female - and it is not necessary to have special apparatus or access to a gymnasium.
The purpose of exercise is to:
1. Achieve normality of the body structure and function.
2. Accelerate the flow of blood, lymph and nerve force.
• Exercise activates the tissues.
• It assists the metabolic processes of anabolism and catabolism - the building up and breaking down of tissues.
• More blood flows into a tissue when it is active than when it is resting.
The best exercises are those that train the body and mind to co-ordinate their actions to the highest degree.
