SIMPLE WAYS TO ADD EXERCISE TO YOUR DAY


Simple is beautiful and inexpensive, and exercising that dormant body in simple ways is no exception.

In today’s busy world where the urgency, automation, and fast-paced living are the prime suspects for our implied neglect to exercise our parched bodies, incorporating simple exercise ways to our daily routines are very useful in burning those extra calories for free.

Here are some suggestions which could help us get the exercise that our bodies need:

• Make it a wake-up routine to clean your room and put everything in place. This will help you organize your mind and exert some muscles.

• Stretch. Awaken those nerves by stretching your body and limbs for a few minutes. Jog in place if you still have the time.

• Don’t be dependent on somebody else to wipe the dust off your car. This won’t take long and without you knowing it, you are actually doing this for your own good.

• Let the morning sun engulf that body before taking a shower.

• Take the steps instead of the elevator especially upon knocking off from work. Using the stairs on your way up the office will make you perspire and too tired. Of course you have the option to take the number of floors you want to navigate especially if you are working 20 stories or more up high.

• Take time to walk casually in the alley during break periods. This will help you reorganize yourself physically and mentally especially if your work is pressure-filled.

• Don’t let somebody serve you coffee or lunch in the office. Walk to the canteen and order it yourself.

• Self-service cafes are mushrooming nowadays. Take one when you feel like eating.

• Associate with people who are exercise conscious. They are a great motivation to you.

• Whether at home or at a party, dance when there’s a chance. Avoid too much alcohol.

• Equip yourself with a copy of a popular simple exercise cd, there are lots to choose from. Take only the one you like best, play it on once in a while and follow the moves.

• Live and enjoy each passing day and look forward to a better day ahead. This will deactivate your frown muscles, the muscles that accelerate that unwanted aging look.

• Make these your regular routine, and in time you will forget that you areactuallydoing some exercise.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING
by omrelaP

The world heavyweight boxing is now in a crisis for talents. Since the retirement of undisputed heavyweight king Linux Lewis, the heavyweight division has not yet produced quality boxers worthy of the game’s prize pot.

Before the year 2000, world heavyweight boxing was a very exciting phenomenon . Heavyweight boxing sport especially became very interesting with the emergence of boxing greats like Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Joe Frazier and Evander Hollyfield.

Today, heavyweight boxing is in a virtual drought for talented and equally exciting quality prize fighters.

EXPECTATIONS

EXPECTATIONS
By omrelaP

Everything in the universe is governed by specific rules.

The rules of nature are so accurate that even the slightest deviation in one will lead us to think it has become abnormal. We know for a fact that nature is the master of precision.

It is quite different in the lives of humans. People build businesses, sell products, and perform services. Others engage themselves in entertainment, competitive sports or employment while some others devote themselves to humanities, technology, science and education.

No matter what field of endeavor each of us may be into, we are subject to the rules of that particular field and are bound to follow those rules in order to harmonize ourselves well with the “norms”.

Knowing the norms will keep us in the right track. Norms dictate expectations. In the normal everyday life whether at work, in any business or industry, we don’t have to be extremely wise in order to be in line with the normal. The secret to be in harmony with the norms is simply to act or to deliver what is expected. Living up to expectations is man’s measure of contentment for passing the standards. Delivering more than the expected already makes on excellent and extra-ordinary.

Modern life actually is not difficult to live, we just have to be at par with expectations.

THE PACMAN FEVER

THE PACMAN FEVER
by omrelaP

Manny “Pacman” Paquiao is the Philippines’ most heralded sports hero.

Sports enthusiasts from all sectors of Philippine society had been faithfully trailing the path of his great saga from obscurity to fame.

Manny Pacquiao’s promoter has lately closed a deal for an October 6, 2007 rematch in the city of Las Vegas with Mexico’s Marco Antonio Barrera, one of the most feared boxers in his weight class.

In order to prepare himself for this great boxing challenge, The Pacman chose to train in Cebu City, the place of his former manager who moulded him to become the great boxer that he is today.

Despite the honors, the successes and the adulations that Pacman got from his countrymen, he remains the same humble fellow that he once was. His feet still touch flat on the ground as he jogged around the local sports center, even if mobs of swooning admirers approach him more often than not for a picture or an autograph. Non-joggers have becomne instant jogging enthusiasts just to be able to run with the Pacman. These things are not uncommon in Cebu today: Students skipping their classes, workers taking leaves of absence, local policitcians taking time out from sessions, press people running to one direction and ordinary people rushing to the Cebu City Sports Complex all for one reason, just to get a glimpse of the Filipino hero.

The Pacman fever has just become an epidemic in Cebu today.

The Pacman has become the Philippines' symbol of strength, descipline and hope.

CHARISMA

CHARISMA
By omrelaP

Charm and charisma are two things that matter in every man’s trip to the land of fulfillment for his dreams. He may labor so much for his ambitions, goals and visions but this is not enough to take him there.

Hard work, persistence, patience, determination and all the rest of the rigid qualities that make a man stand for his objectives are all praiseworthy, but aren’t these the hard way of doing it? Or does he lack one or two more qualities as his ticket towards a simpler, easier way to success?

Today I'd like to tell about a simple step one can take to make a huge positive change in both his business and personal relationships... and how much faster success will then start to come.

It’s about developing a simple but highly important trait: charm and charisma.

A majority of successful people are charismatic individuals - and their charisma is one more reason that they are very rich.

Charisma is the ability to make other people feel good about themselves. It makes them like you and want to work with you and do things for you. Having that kind of support from the people around you is a huge help. Maya Angelou has this to say: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”.

Charisma is a learned skill. Even the shyest people can transform themselves into charismatic individuals…by simply showing interest in other people.

People thirst for acknowledgment, friendship and sympathy. A person showing these to others will make him likeable and pleasing.
Charisma is the key to friendship. Having lots of friends from all walks of life and all levels of society is a great help in making people get what they want to achieve.

No man is an island and no man stands alone in any endeavor of life. Every dream, every ambition, every endeavor and every effort in any man's pursuit of success and happiness involves the help and influence of other men. While it is true that the “hard qualities” play big roles in determining success, those are by no means greater than having charisma along with the package.

Charisma is the magic that casts a spell on peoples hearts.
