      Conditioning

      Like all exercise regimens out there, a form of conditioning must occur before the participant performs the rigorous tasks to prevent an injury. It may be some form of stretching, walking, light jogging, and possibly meditation. Each person has there own unique way to prepare them for a sweaty, heart pounding work out. The type of conditioning you will read about here doesn’t revolve around the physical body so much as it does the human brain.

      A human mind can be a complicated part of our bodies. The brain can be regarded as a very important muscle, (depending on what physical trainer you talk to), and we can include it in our physical exercises. How? You might ask. With careful precision and in a peaceful solitude environment you can begin the exercise that will open up your mind to a whole new world. This part will come soon enough but first…

      Exercise!

      We all love a good work out – am I right? Eating healthy and several hours a week of physical exercise can help a person lead a healthy life style. We’ve all heard this one before, but do we all actually heed to it – no.

      Boring this must be for you, however, you must read on. It will get better, I promise. Before we actually get to the part about exercising our brain we need to take care of our other muscles, like our heart, lungs, balance, and over all, our strength. A large quantity of leafy greens, all types of fruits, and healthy fat burning promoting drinks with body cleansing antioxidants – like Green Tea – all make up 80-90% of what your body needs to be on top of the world and believe it, or not, but it's true. No, really, out of 100% of what your body needs for actual physical exercise is only about 10%, the rest is all in what you eat and drink. Study up on it. Go to the Men’s Health and Women’s Health magazines and other sources, they will all tell you the same. Becoming or staying healthy should be easy anyway and it is.

      For example, all through my teenage years I was a light weight that would only stay in a ten pound bracket. I would either lose ten or gain ten pounds, never any more than that. How this became to be was that my mother never included junk food on her shopping list. I grew up eating tons of vegetables, fruits, and meats. I never became addicted to alcohol or cigarettes. To this day I don’t drink alcohol or smoke. I now weigh a lean, strong and healthy 200+ pounds with a height of five feet and eleven inches, all because of a healthy upbringing. Anyone can have a strong and healthy life – yes, even those stricken with life long ailments where doctors may be needed – but it takes determination.........................

      …........But I don’t want to. I can’t. I’m too tired all the time. I don’t have time...

      We all are guilty of telling these lies. What we all need to be driven is motivation. Make this book be your motivation. This can be your guide to a healthy lifestyle.

      Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about the brain exercises. We’ll get to that in a minute. First we need to stand up straight, looking straight ahead, inhale and on the exhale slowly raise your arms above your head. Try to touch the sky. Keep inhaling and exhaling slowly and gently rise up on your toes continuing to reach for the sky. Hold this pose for about ten seconds and on an exhale come back down flat on your feet. Do this several times to stretch out your entire body from head to toe. An easier way to do this stretch would be to hang from a pull up bar or strong tree branch – which I love doing – and with your hands spread shoulder width apart. Hang for ten seconds and then repeat at least two more times.

      Next, we will go to a straight trunked tree and stand beside it with your hip facing the trunk. Reach your hand out from your side, place it palm in and flat on the trunk. Take one step forward and carefully lean that way until you feel a slight pull and hold it there for ten seconds. Repeat two more times before turning around to do the same to the other arm. Do this stretch with your arm level with your shoulder. Also, do it with the arm slightly down and do it with the arm slightly raised up above your head. Feels good, don’t it?

      Now, go over to the most level piece of ground you can find and standing up straight bend one of your legs behind you (bending at the knee, of course) while balancing on the other. Reach back to grab the ankle of the bent leg to then gently pull it in towards you until you feel a stretching sensation and then hold it their for twenty seconds. After twenty, go on and do the same with the other leg. You should feel the thigh muscles loosen up. Now you need to stretch your calf muscles.

      Standing on that level ground, now bend forward at your waist until your hands are flat on the ground and lift one leg towards the sky to cross it over the other leg. Resting the ankle of the raised leg on the back
