“Get
Up Offa That Thang…” and feel better.
James Brown knew what he was talking about years ago, even before
exercise was as popular as it is today.
Dancing & roller-skating to music was a very good form of moving the
joints and draining some excess water from our bodies through sweat. You should be able to remember those “house
parties”.

This post is written to continually encourage us to get up and do a little
something to better our lives. We need
to establish a little ‘Accountability’ and a lot of ‘Commitment’. ‘We are Winners’ & we can make a positive
change for the good.
At the tender age of 63, I am not as limber as I use to be. Yes, I get a ‘snap, crackle & pop’ in my
joints as I exercise & it ain’t Rice Krispies. It takes much effort to do a ‘plank’ and hold
it for 25 seconds, or 25 abdominal crunches, or hold a ‘hollow-man’ for 1
minute; but it’s possible. You may
experience some pain. I’m not going to
tell you that “labor” doesn’t hurt; it does, but the agony does subside during
delivery. I’ve now been renewing my
physical man for 13 weeks and I still get sore sometimes.

Let it be known that I have to ‘wrap’ and ‘brace’ some areas
of my body occasionally. You may need to
reinforce an ankle, elbow, knee or wrist; but do what needs to be done in order
to get through your workout. I try to do
a half-hour, five days a week. If you
miss a few days because of appointments – then get back into the gym, start
walking again or turn on your video ASAP.
My Ankle Surgery in 2010 hasn’t stopped me, nor Back Surgery in 2012, or Knees
supposedly to be arthritic, nonetheless, I will not quit! If you need
further encouragement – tune in to “America Ninja Warrior”.

If you worry about flatulence
occurring at the gym – don’t fret; that’s one of the reasons why they play
music and have the fans running. Just
try not to consume dairy or any products that give you gas before you head
out. If you’re at home – use you abs. to
help release the gas gently. Your body
is performing naturally.

Whatever you do — Don’t
Give Up! And pray while you P.U.S.H.
The enemy will try everything to make you quit, including weight gain at
the beginning. Remember, you’re making
muscle and that is sometimes heavier than the fat that is falling off. Don’t forget to “Eat Wisely”, and incorporate
cardio along with strength-training. You
have plenty of friends on social networks who are making a conscious effort to
live longer & enjoy life.
If you don’t have a personal trainer like my daughter Tonya Poller,
than go to Face Book and “Like” Psalm 139 Woman – Fearfully
& Wonderfully Made Divas of Fitness or Faith and Fitness or
