2016: New Beginnings. New Organization

Sometimes, you have to re-arrange your home in order to put yourself in an optimal position to get results. Do it at the beginning of 2016:

1) Kitchen – Do you cook? Put your spices lower. Emphasizes squatting. Muscles worked = glutes, quads, hamstrings. Skilled worked = isometric holding and weight shifting as you reach to find favorite spices.

2) Bedroom – Do you like TV? Cool. Take it out of the room for the time being. See how your behavior adjusts. You will have to walk to see it now instead of rolling over and clicking the remote. Emphasizes good sleep patterns. Muscles worked = all. Skill worked = discipline. Yes, it’s a skill.

3) Bathroom – You do wash your hands after using the bathroom right? OK, phew! Place a paper towel roll drying rack on the floor. Similar to the spice rack, re-organization and squatting are emphasized. Muscles worked = glutes, quads, hamstrings. Skilled worked = movement control depending on where the rack is located.


 * For all of these keep in mind safety and room design – not all rooms are identical.

With heart,
Derek
