Shape Up or Ship Out

Icon_tip_1

Getting in shape is perhaps the most exciting and beneficial life changes you’ll ever make. There may be a number of reasons why you’ve decided to get fit. Perhaps you’ve had a doctor’s warning about a developing health condition or maybe you want to look fabulous for a college reunion, wedding or other special event. Regardless, take a moment to prepare yourself for this considerable, and commendable, undertaking.

Over the next 30 days, you can expect to:

  • Formulate a fitness plan.
  • Make important dietary changes.
  • Become knowledgeable about your body and fitness.
  • Set and achieve realistic goals.
  • Feel optimistic and enthusiastic about your new lifestyle.
  • Feel more energized and healthier.


On this first day, get a baseline of all your measurements. On a sheet of paper, write down your current chest, hip and waist measurements, as well as your current weight and resting heart rate. Also, test your physical skill with a modified version of the Army’s physical fitness test. Time how long it takes for you to run around your block as fast as you can. Then do as many push-ups and sit-ups as you can in 30 second intervals. Write those numbers down. At the end of 30 days, you’ll take these measurements again and see your progress. Good luck!

Only about 22% of Americans are regularly active.

My husband encouraged us to come out of our shell and tell the world about the man behind the medicine that brought us back together after 7 years of separation. He was so astonished by the amazing spell by Dr. Wakina (dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com) that reunited our undying love for each other that proved we are sole mate. There has been a barrier between us, we regularly disagrees with each other, argue over unnecessary things and fight almost every week when we were still unmarried. We eventually separated for some months due unsolvable issues before he moved to Italy for 4 years.
Though it might sound impossible to still get hold of your crush for that period of time without any means of communication. I always felt he took my heart away with him because I could not fall in love again and I could not stop thinking about him but I can not be with him. Doc Wakina (dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com) proved that nothing relating to love issues is impossible for him; doctor also proved that true love does not die after broking the barriers between us. Days after the spell, he returned unexpectedly to take me along with him. My happiest moment is seeing us live happily for a year without issues before getting married. We are still astonished by the good spiritual work that brought us together forever.

Sometime late September last year, I needed help for a bring back love spell after reading great reviews on Dr. Wakina and his love spell. I had a situation which I desperately needed a supernatural help on, every physical efforts made to rescue my husband has always failed. My husband stopped loving and caring for me and our children after 7 years of happy home. He did so much wrong to me, I encountered so many domestic violence from him, he turned into a professional liar, and the worst of all, and he started using drugs and alcohol. I couldn’t bear his torture anymore when he wanted a divorce. I couldn’t afford to lose my husband to a strange spirit, I knew him to be a loving man before we got married, but I didn’t know what came over him.
Doctor Wakina love spell was so great and powerful, my estranged husband’s attitude and urge for evil changed just after 8 days of the completion of the love spell. The reasons why I can recommend Dr. Wakina to anyone are, his love spell is real and it works, Doctor wakina don’t cast love spell that is against anyone’s wish and his love spell lasts for eternity. I have been observing my husband’s behavior for more than 9 months, he is still the same, he has never stopped loving me again, the love keep growing each day and we keep prospering with the blessings that follows Doctor Wakina’s love spell. That’s the reason why I can recommend him to anyone event to my worst enemy… to email him via dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com

I hope I will be blessed with many more years in this body. So I am going to focus on investing an hour a day to walk or ride my bike, in the rain even! Because I would like to drop 20 pounds I will commit to this.
I will welcome my first grandchild in March and this will be so exciting.

I would like to LIKE to exercise and go to the gym instead of becoming stodgy and fat and old.
I want my wrinkles to be toned and feel I can give my body a lift even as I get older.
I am becoming old and stiff.
