“If you’re doing weight resistance training, and you should be, try slowing down each repetition. For example, if you do a set of 10 reps of bicep curls in 12 seconds, slow it down to 24 seconds. This will let your muscles fire at a different rate. It’s like doing a completely different exercise. Try it for a set or two and see how you feel. Feels good, doesn’t it?” – Keith- Home

“When is the best time to exercise? Is it morning, noon, or night? How about 3am, 3pm, when the sunrises or the stars shine? The correct answer is — The best time to exercise is the time that you WILL exercise! Find your niche, find your time but make activity and exercise a daily heart healthy priority.” – Keith
“Recertified for my CPR – AED Adult, Child and Infant Training today. It’s always good to get the practice using AED devices and Performing CPR. You never know when you’ll be called upon or have to step in to save a life. Being prepared can make a scary situation seem less scary. Are you ready? Please visit the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross web sites for classes in your area.” – Keith
“Why don’t we get check ups? Many people are in a state of denial, have fears, too busy, don’t want to know if there’s a problem, hate doctors, afraid of blood work, may feel embarrassed to discover a problem etc….. I could go on and on about excuses I’ve heard. But at the end of the day, they’re just excuses. Get a check up! Save your life!” – Keith
“HEADLINE: Heart Disease Researchers Find A Cure” ??? Well, maybe not yet, but if I have my way I’ll see this headline in my lifetime. I try every day to do something to rid this planet of this terrible killer. – Keith
“Have confidence in someone else. Have confidence in yourself. I know what its like for people have confidence in me. Other people’s confidence has brought me through some very difficult times. Today I share my confidence in you. You deserve it. Feel proud and empowered to know that someone, somewhere is confident in you.” – Keith

I like it in the loft and doing it in public. Of course, I’m talking about exercise. Where do you like to do it? Location should never be an excuse not to get in some daily exercise or activity. Fitness is the least expensive and most effective “natural-medicine” we can take. In addition to helping your heart with daily exercise and activity, this is also breast cancer awareness month. Get your checkup and routine screenings. – Keith
