Mind, Body, Spirit Health is Essential in Life and Business

So many people ask me why I make instructional videos, write articles, have this blog, have a Health Pulse fan page on Face Book.

I have had a wonderful career in the fitness field. Many people have helped me along the way and I have truly been blessed.

I received the gift of the love for fitness. I love to learn about it and I love to share what I have learned.

What we all need to understand is that we all have gifts. Some of us don't realize it. You gift is usually what you are passionate about, what are you doing with your gifts? A gift isn't a gift until it is given and that is why I choose to share my gift with everyone.

We believe that Mind Body Spirit health is essential in all of the relationships that we will experience in our life time. You need a healthy body to be fully effective, a healthy positive mind sent in order to bring positive things into your life. Believing that there is something out there larger than us, that we can't see but we can have faith is there, that is your spiritual health.

Bringing all of this together will bring us closer to the lifestyle and the life that we are all looking for.

Getting to the Heart of the matter

Let's get to the heart of the matter.

There are new studies that come out all of the time about health and fitness. The human body has an endless amount of "un-knowns" to be studied.

There are hundreds of studies that come out each year. Studies that we need to examine a little closer. Everyone is different so each individual has to assess the studies and see if it resonates with what they know about their own body.

We have all known for years that cardio. exercises are effective ways to keep our pulminary systems in shape.


The latest study suggests that resistance work is the best way to burn fat and calories. To someone that really wants to loose weight and burn calories might decide to forgo the cardio. work out and turn just to resistance work.

what worries me is the way these studies get interpreted by different individuals.

The reason that this is troubling to myself is because without a stong heart muscle it doesn't really matter how much fat and calories you are burning.

Your heart is the center or YOUR universe wether you like it or not.

So why wouldn't it matter?? Well because without a strong heart you won't be pumping those weights.

Your heart and lungs work together and form your pulminary system. Your lungs collect the oxygen and the heart distributes that oxygen to the MUSCLES, without the oxygen the muscles don't function and neither do your other organs.

So if your heart is weak and has to work harder to keep up the muscles demand for oxygen, the diagnosis is called hypertension or high blood pressure.

The "simple" solution is diet and exercise. Being aware before the onset is the best rule of thumb. In order for that to happen we need to get educated.

So keep doing the cardio. work but add weights 3 to 4 times a week.

Keep in mind while practicing resistance training to only train every other day. Giving your muscles a day of rebuilding and recovery.

The most important thing is to have fun. Sometimes that's hard to do so stay tuned we are going to have some fun with weights next time.

Until next time,
Really take care of yourself,
