Its Been "Snow" Easy Time here in NY

Hello my Bloggie Babies. The multi snowstorms here in NY have kept me quite busy. No time to write. My dedicated blog time is being used to shovel my GIGUNDO driveway...at least twice weekly. This last storm 2 days ago was a tough one. The snow was too wet and heavy for my snowblower. What I've been doing is turning the chore of snow removal into a dedicated core workout. Ahhhh, the power of the mind....can move mountains. I must say I was quite impressed with how much lifting I did, and for how long. Of course, my very strong 17 year old son was there to share in the work.
You all know how I preach about core training...how important it is for strength, bone health, muscle health, posture, to alleviate chronic back pain, etc (oh I could go on and on...) Well, a gym isn't necessary, just take advantage of the next snowfall.
Using a sturdy shovel, I scoped out my shovel path, took 3 deep breaths, and started my workout. I started by squatting down, scooping snow, lifting the weighted shovel using my core and thigh and butt muscles, then flinging the snow over again utilizing core, obliques, and controlled shoulder movements. I would do this rhythmically for 15 lifts and then stop for 10 sec, do another 15, rest 10 secs, for a set of 3.
I got my workout in, and cleared my drive in just under 2 hrs.
In spite of my daily gym routine, I feel wonderfully sore and pumped. That was amazing. It was also great cardio. My breathing was also rhythmic and controlled which keeps me from getting winded, and delivers continuous oxygen to the muscles.
I increased my D-ribose back up to 5 grams, and added White Willow bark, Marshmallow root, to my regimen that same day, and then realized that I also needed some Arnica pellets the following day.
Everybody, increase the intensity of your core training especially during these cold winter months when we tend to want to just hibernate. Remember to keep your belly button magically connected to your spinal column. That is your grounding line. All your energy and focus is on that "string" that connects your navel to your spinal column. Dont forget the breath....BREATHE IS LIFE.
Be well
Be happy
Life is too short for anything less

New Horizons

Hello all my beautiful Blogg-arazzi friends. This new year has brought change. New website. New Blog space. My old blog space was dissolved with the older website. I am a afraid I may have lost many loyal followers. I have faith that they will somehow follow me again. I was able to save my last 4 posts. I will try to get those re-posted on here, or onto my website, if possible.
I wish everyone success this year on their road to wellness.
The snow and cold weather here in the Northeast has kept me indoors. I haven't been able to enjoy my hikes and walks, and that has me blue. I am at a gym 4 times a week doing core training and dance exercises. Smile.
Eating lots of root veggies and deep green leafys, as I always do in winter. Not so much fruit in the winter. No matter how hard I try I just dont have the fruit appetite that I normally have in the warmer seasons. I do eat lots of apples, pears, pomegranate, and tangerines.
Well just wanted to say hello.
Next blog is gonna be good. Lets talk vitamins and supplements....but SERIOUSLY....a close and intimate peek into my personal drug world. HA!!!!
Buenas Noches.
Be sweet. Be true
