oftentimes I am inspired to go to the gym..but with anticipation I enter 'Thy Kingdom'.. I get clumsy around the humongous equipments.. I somehow feel all those grave faced athletic looking people exercising their life out, are looking at me with piercing eyes ready to mock me at the slightest mistake I make in using an equipment.. aside from the treadmill(my bud), I dare not look at the other less friendlier ones..and during those rare occasions of going to the gym I finally gathered up the courage to acquaint myself with Mr Elliptical(just by watching others) and the bike too and that my friend is all I use if i ever step into Gym Kingdom.. its more the fear of messing up and the savory ego of not letting the other frequent visitors know that 'I am ignorant'.. :(
but I have found yet another comfortable and non-challenging method of exercising - a brisk walk in fresh air, in the mornings.. no exercise can beat that.. my goal - a healthier lifestyle..

PSS
PSS - perpetual Stress Syndrome:
hmm!!! I knew something was wrong with me, when I came down with aches and pains over the past year or 2.. but cudnt put my finger on it.. I always carried the guilt of not setting a time aside for exercising.. I wanted to help myself .. and hence began the search for answers.. After going thru some info on yoga and healing this is what I found- people!! most of us suffer from PSS - perpetual stress syndrome.. we forget to relax or breath consistently.. it is unconsciously done.. when someone asked me to breath in and out it took me a while to figure out the most important and simple exercise we all are born with - BREATHINg normally.. inhalation and exhalation.. thats the focus in Yoga and healing.. with the onslaught of widespread exercise regimen - pilates, zumba, power workouts of everyname, to choose from these days, we oftentimes are attracted by heavy workouts basically to sweat your body like crazy.. ones which will tone down our muscles or body, oftentimes ignoring the fact that healing every inch of our body is equally or more important.. I am in noway insisting anyone to start yoga-ing right away.. but please make an effort to start breathing normally focusing on nothing but your regular breathing.. every cell of your body will thank you for the oxygen you fill them with, so they get their fuel to do their normal function.. more on YOga and healing as I assimilate info.. cant tell you, I already feel so energized sharing this info with all.. I began! I am sure pretty soon you all will be convinced enough to slide your body into feeling good soon too.. its all about your well-being..
My mind gets distracted while I am doing my regular breathing exercises..it gets drawn to the sink load of dishes to be washed but I am getting good @ refocussing on my breathing technique
FOr beginners - Kundalini Yoga, Pranayama(simple anolom, vilom), Breath of fire(short sniffs), the Cat stretch and some basic yoga stretches should work wonders. There are several freely available youtube videos on these. Balance it with food too.
12 food must eats:
1) Black beans
2) lean chicken
3) Salmon
4) Eggs
5) Oranges
6) Mixed berries
7) Almonds
8) Leafy salads
9) cook in Extra Virgin Olive oil
10) Low fat yogurt - Activia for women
11) Whole grain bread and whole grain cereal
12) Dark Chocolate(for dessert)
13) Women only - red Wine - 1 serving for dinner(optional) - if u have chronic illnesses please refer to doc..
This is a new beginning :)
