If you were to ask me only one piece of advice, here’s what I would tell you: Everything you desire to bring forth in your physical reality starts from within. Your physical reality aligns itself to your inner world. So if you wish to change your life, you must make the shift from within; you can not fight your design. Everything is possible when you discover your purpose and consistently follow your intuition and take action.…

Introduction A Fitbit Zip is like a pedometer, with many more features than just tracking your steps. The purpose of a Fitbit is to track steps and see how far the walker has traveled.

The Reign Of Terror, A little less than two years from when Louis XVI was beheaded in January 1793 through July 1794. Within that time period, over 20,000 were put to rest by the guillotine. Maximilien de Robespierre was perhaps the famous French Revolutionary. Educated as a lawyer, he believed in Rousseau’s teaching that the right to govern comes from the people. Robespierre also held the belief that all people should be able to vote. He dreamed of making France a constitutional republic rather…

Fight Club (1999) doesn’t need much of an introduction, and the first two rules state that I can’t talk about. I guess I’ll have to make an exception just this once; I just hope Tyler will be able to forgive me. The movie itself performed moderately well in its opening weekend but was ultimately a box office failure, as it only brought in about $37 million in revenue. The main character who is played by Edward Norton, a nameless narrator, is unhappy and discouraged with his mediocre life. In…

Have you ever thought how much longer you can live if you exercise? If you exercise you can live so much longer, and you feel so much better. Instead of sitting on the couch and watching tv, go outside and go for a walk or go for a run. When it is 65 degrees out and you are sitting on the couch that is a very bad thing to do. It is very bad for you. When you are just on the couch all you eat is junk food all the time. I think it's time for people to start running and not sitting.…

My measurable, specific and realistic goal for this quarter is to exercise at least 10 hours a week by weightlifting, running, and swimming for the next 10 weeks. I had a workout buddy who would work out with me during the schooldays from Monday to Thursday. Friday to Sunday I was either on my own or with my father. However, I wasn’t required to work out every day, but rather just work out for however many hours I needed to exercise that week. I started this plan since Week 1, although baseline…

Also, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) males and females aged between 18 and 64 should accumulate a total of 150 minutes of exercise per week. (WHO 2015, p.10). Currently I am doing 60 minutes…
