Dear Total Balance Company Family,
As the year closes out and we very much look forward to 2021 with hope for a better year ahead, I urge you not to look too far ahead. You still have the opportunity to make 2020 so successful with your days left to improve your health and prepare for 2021 as the doors and world opens up again. Every second we use can be positive or wasted. If we look to make the most of what we are gifted then the results will far exceed the other option of doing nothing waiting for better days. I guarantee today is the best day we will live today. Be amazing and achieve your highest level of excellence.
This brings me to an very inspirational young man. He exemplifies not only health but smarts. He also shows how strength and working the body is not as crucial to balance as the brain / body connection. Mike, in only his mid 80’s, was going to the gym as part of his lifestyle. He is still leg pressing reps of 200 pounds and so strong. However, Mike was suffering from balance issues. Muscles were not supporting his walking and movement even though his legs were stronger than many men 50 years younger. He ordered the Total Balance Company having seen it on TV. Mike knew balance needed to be addressed. I was fortunate to get to meet Mike due to one of the red clips in a pole not working fully. COVID-19 had kept us isolated and under lock-down, but as Mike and his wife lived only about an hour from me I decided to go visit – safely. I made an appointment and Mike left his board outside so I could figure out the problem and fix it. Masks on and gloves too, I went to work. When done Mike stepped out and we talked. We took a couple of selfies just to celebrate the fact that COVID had not stopped us solving problems to support balance. Well, the rest is history. Ready Mike’s dynamic story below – it was a pleasure for me to meet him, and Mike still sends me educational emails that I cherish as there is no limit or expertise that shared cannot improve results for everyone. Thank you, Mike, – I will remember our short time together for many, many years ahead.
Let me know if I can help your battle for independence. And remember, join me on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9am PST, in our private Total Balance Company Facebook Group or see the workouts on YouTube and also Kathy’s LIVE on Wednesdays at 9am PST. I LOVE That after her first class you love her too. Have a fantastic end of September and know we truly care.
Love always,
Dan
Total Balance Company HERO OF THE WEEK – October 15th , 2020
TIP of the NEWSLETTER
My tip this week is about friendships and community. Many times we find ourselves isolated or struggling with motivation. So, my TIP – ask for support. People support those who are on a mission – have a goal – are determined to achieve the unexpected. And those with a supportive team are more likely to achieve their goals with a strong team. So do not ask for help – ask for support. Let others share in your journey and also celebrate with you the end results. Some of my most emotional moments have been seeing others achieve goals. Gift others the opportunity to share your joy as you return to a quality of life so many may doubt.
How do you ask for support? Set a goal, take on the challenge and share your story with those close, or interested, in your adventure ahead. See the journey as a fun change in your life and enjoy the pain and perseverance needed to achieve the future dreams. And ASK those who enjoy your desire to join you. Have them join in your workouts. Have them join your goal so you have a destination with someone alongside you. Ask them to check on your progress and keep you motivated. Having someone keeping you honest and focused – feeling committed to them as well as you – is a great support system. So often we are more willing to let ourselves down than we are someone else. Commit to yourself and have someone in your corner keep you committed to you.
I look forward to all your successes and would love to see any Photos of you and your “TEAM” working together for all your happiness and ultimately living life with a purpose.
I am LIVE on Facebook – 9am PST Tuesdays – Basic, base training movement, slower, Feeling Workouts / Progression workouts with the Red Stability Ball, Short – Long Resistance Band Workouts – and Wednesdays with Kathy – Wellness Wednesdays– a new approach to those wanting to add another day and learn from an amazing instructor.
GO TO Facebook and follow us @60uPFitness and join our private group so you can see us live – and send me questions during the 40-minute live event – I answer all questions and will also adapt workouts to YOUR request too. See you there.
Cheering you on. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay educated. With your brain and body working together – the world is yours. And don’t forget your friends, help them share your journey by helping them get a Total Balance Company too.
