Visit My Other Virtual Fitness Blog Too!




Hi all. You can still access this blog as well. I'd let this one rest for a bit while I focused on building my new blog and social networking sites:

 


I've also developed a great resource for those of you interested in virtual fitness training. Be sure to visit my YouTube Channel:

I've also broadened my training base by adding Fitness Sessions using Skype! See more here:


I invite you to come join my New Virtual Personal Training and Fitness blog. It has cool new features; you can email or link my post to your facebook or myspace, or merely email forward any particular one you like to friends.


Warm Regards,

Have a Ball


Okay, so the second you read that title, I'm sure you knew what was coming. I love the fitness ball, also known as a stability ball, balance ball, swiss ball and exercise ball. Same thing, different name. There are such a wide range of exercises that this ball can be used for, I won't bore you here with them. Just know that I endorse this item as part of your fitness lifestyle plan.  If you've met with me (which most if not all of you have) you already know the variety of ways in which to use this item.  It's low cost, low maintenance, fun and easy to use. If you're not sure which size or style to get (I favor one particular brand) please contact me directly.

Warm regards and Happy Upcoming Holiday to you all,
Margo

Cat Naps


My Friday stress relief blog will cover more then just stress. Catnaps, or Power Naps as you might call them, have numerous well documented benefits. Research has shown taking a catnap is better then trying to catch extra sleep in the morning. It's important you keep this nap 15 to 30 minutes to stay in "light" sleep stages, or you wake feeling groggy. Naps promote physical well-being, improve memory, sharpen the senses, and simply put, rests your brain from the day's stresses. Naps are also meditative and boost performance. For me? I like about 20 minutes...just to close my eyes, clear the brain, and such.  I'm not saying it's easy to find the time or place, but just laying your head back in your chair can do the trick. 
Till later,
