Greetings!

Rene Hike Palmy

I read an interesting article this week about staying motivated to exercise. One of the key points was about creating your own personal 'reasons list.' They suggested keeping a piece of paper and pen handy for a couple of days and jot down EVERY reason you can think of as to why you want to get healthy/get fit/lose weight through consistent exercise.

The article went on to tell real life examples and spoke of how one lady who could only think of two reasons off the bat, but then over the next few days she came up with a list of over 30.

Here were a few:

· more energy to spend quality time with her family at night
· to be able to fit into all the clothes in her closet
· to be able to live a long, healthy life and to enjoy time with her children, husband, and grandchildren (eventually)
· to not be uncomfortable in public
· to not become breathless climbing stairs
· to be able to do "active" things with her family and friends
· to be able to play on the floor with her children
· to be able to wear nice clothes

It's time for you to make a long, extensive list. You can then read this list when your motivation to exercise is wearing down. It's a powerful way to quickly get "re-motivated"!

Exercise of the Week

EXTERNAL ROTATORS

Muscles Worked: Infraspinatus, teres minor and rear deltoid.

So much of our day-to-day activities require internal rotation through the shoulder, such as driving, sitting at the computer etc. So, to avoid any imbalances, which then lead to injuries, we should emphasize conditioning our external rotators. Exercises such as reverse fly, bent over lat raise, incline lat raise and seated dumbbell external rotator cuff are good examples of exercises that can be done numerous times during the week, or incorporated into your warm-up.
