Dear Total Balance Company Family,
It’s August. Let me repeat that. IT’s AUGUST. Can you believe what has happened to this year? Yet every day is still a day to be lived and find the best of every situation. The beautiful thing about challenges is how it exposes who we are. And give us the chance to better ourselves when it is easier to fall into the frustration that gives us every reason to think lower levels. That is what I love about the Total Balance Company family – YOU. Action takers, refusing to give up and accept the worst, but instead taking the steps to create the best future.
We all have those Oh No Moments. Where we think the worst is coming – yet something amazing comes out of that moment as we discover more. I had one recently. I was going through some of the comments left on the YouTube In-home workouts. Most are great – but every now and again there is THAT ONE! As I Started to read, I knew what was coming. “I don’t know what Dan Metcalfe’s credentials are”. Oh! here we go …. Yet as I read further the comment changed my day. It was from a man I did not know. Harvey Warren. His comment was so powerful in how the Total Balance Company has changed his life. After 7 years of physical therapy …. The improvement was so much better than anything he had had with top therapists. I could say more, but why don’t I let Harvey tell you himself. He is inspiring and so positive in word and action.
I wish you always the very best, keep challenging to be better and stronger – it is so worth it – because life is made to be lived, and you were born to be all you can be.
Let me know if I can help your battle for independence. Join me @60uPFitness on Tuesdays / Thursdays and Fridays at 9am PST, or see the workouts on YouTube.
Love always,
Dan
Total Balance Company HERO OF THE WEEK – August 1st, 2020
TIP of the NEWSLETTER
My tip is for your development – and I think you will like this one. Rest. Your body challenges itself during exercise and the muscles are working above regular activity. What many don’t realize is muscles grow stronger with rest – after working out. Pushing too hard, too often, too much will actually weaken the muscles. Don’t get too excited, you still have to do the work, but do not over train. The brain is a muscle and needs to be challenged – so read, do crossword puzzles, learn new activities or relearn something you can no longer od but want to again. But also rest the brain. Closing your eyes and feeling the breeze, day dreaming with no stress, listening to music (especially classical) will relax the mind and set up your brain to function better. And your body muscles too. Work them, and rest them. You will get stronger with smarts than brawn. So – get on your Total Balance Company – do the exercises, rest during the workout if it feels out the top of your comfort zone, and come back stronger because you listened to your body and trusted your instinct. Rest, challenge, and rest.
