Are You Prepared?


“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

An Ounce of Prevention …..


“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


Proud, Very Proud

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

Here’s 10 For You

10 minutes of exercise for everyone.  When I work out, I’ll do an extra 10 minutes thinking of everyone that needs a little push and encouragement to get moving.  Knowing that I’ll do 10 minutes thinking of you, will you match it and do 10 minutes thinking of yourself? Remember, we all started somewhere. – Keith
