Guest guest Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 WITH VIGOR! Monday, 07 November 2011 You know how much I love a good movie and there are scenes from some films that I just never forget. One of my favorites is from a movie that just about everybody has seen, the original Rocky, starring Sylvester Stallone. Mr. Stallone had to train for many months getting ready to play Rocky. It was that scene where he's running up the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. (I know you remember it.) Oh, you could see how hard he worked as he ran up those dozens of stairs. That look in his eyes, that vapor of white smoke leaving his mouth because it was so cold...go, Rocky, go! And finally, when he reached the top of the stairs, he threw both arms triumphantly into the air with such a sense of victory. Oh, how I loved that scene! Now of course, Mr. Stallone had to train for many months getting ready to play Rocky. And, I wonder, how many days last week did you exercise? Two, maybe? Was it three? Did you exercise at all last week? Yep, my friends, it's another motivational message about exercise for you...and for your body! Look, you eat seven days a week so I say you should work out seven days a week, too. Hey, it's only fair for that body of yours. And if you don't make exercise a regular part of your life, then you're never going to lose the weight or end up gaining back any weight you may have already lost. Now Mr. Stallone did several kinds of exercise to get in shape for Rocky. He did a lot of stretching, plenty of cardio and he toned three to four days a week. That's the same formula you need to follow as you prepare to star in your own movie. And I've got the perfect title for your feature film, too. It's A Wonderful Healthy Life! Exercise is mot just for losing weight. It's for keeping your body young and in shape. By the way, exercise is not just for losing weight, my friends. It's for keeping your body young and in shape. Your bones need to be strong and exercise gives them that strength. And those muscles of yours? Well, every time you lift weights, use your toning cords or toning rings, you're pumping energy into your upper body that'll help you build firmer, stronger muscles. And don't forget your cardio. Those dance moves you do during cardio are great for your heart and blood flow. And let me end with this, exercise does wonders for that mind of yours. It helps keep you sharp, focused, feeling happy and good about yourself. Now look, today is Monday. I want you to start this week out right by doing some sort of exercise today and every day this week! Stretch in the mornings and evenings, do your cardio three days a week, tone three days a week and, next Sunday, on that 7th day, take that wonderful body of yours for a nice long walk. And one day, we'll all meet in Philadelphia, charge up the stairs at the Museum of Art and throw our arms up in victory, just like Rocky! Bomp, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, ba...bomp!
