Just 4 words but perhaps

THE most important words you

will every hear.

Why?

Why is it so important to elevate your heart rate

on a regular basis? Before I answer that question

I want to tell you a story.

As I travel the world and meetmany people I hear a lot of complaints about health.

People tell me about joint pain, arthritis, migraine headaches,

lack of energy, the list goes on and on.

Whenever someonetells me about their health

problem I always ask them thissimple question:

"How many times a week

do you elevate your

heartrate to 70%

of it's maximum?"

Do you know what

their answer is

99% of the time?

Zero!

Why is it so important to elevate your heart rate?

Your blood vessels, the arteries and the veins, are a bit

over 60,000 miles long (62,000 miles), or 96,500 kilometers.

When your heart rate is elevated it pumps blood at an accelerated

pace through your bodies incredibly complicated system

of veins and arteries.

This accelerated flow of blood

through your body helps to provide

increased oxygen to your cells and also helps to keep your veins and arteries

clear of plaque that can build up.

Think of the plumbing in your house. After

years of use, a drain can easily get clogged up with calcium, sludge

and other materials. If the pipes are too

clogged it can shut down the flow of water

in your house.

A plumber will then have to come out

and clear the pipesof the sludge. Your body can also get

clogged up and many

negative health issues can result.

If you are living a sedentary lifestyle then don't complain when health

problems such as obesity, diabetes, heart problems, migraines, lack of

energy suddenly appear in your life. In many cases they are simply the result of the sedentary lifestyle you have chosen.

Change your lifestyle today and reap the rewards of improved health.

Here are the excuses I hear as to why people say they

cannot change their lifestyles:

"I don't have time."

"I don't have the money to

join a gym"

"I am not Strong enough"

Here are my answer

to all of these lame

excuses:

It only takes 10 min a day to elevate your heart rate and start achieving health

benefits. I don't care who you are, you can spare 10 min in the morning. So consider

this a cop-out excuse...you can make time.

1

You don't need to join a gym, in fact you don't need any gym equipment at all.

Here are some examples.

2

Do jumping jacks in the morning

Jump rope in the morning for 5 minutes, then

increase to 10 after time.

Walk briskly around your neighborhood or house

Climb the stairs in your house or office

for 10 minutes

Do aerobics while watching an aerobics

show on TV.

Age does not matter. Studies have shown that elderly people in their 80's

benefited from exercise programs.

You can figure 70% of your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age

from 220 then multiply that by 0.70 that is your target heart rate.
