In my book, I explain how I changed my life and how I can help you change yours. I share the knowledge I have gained over the past 30 years on how to stay in shape, while still enjoying the pleasure of eating.
So, please watch my Welcoming Video. And, let’s start our journey together, either through my book or at one of my lectures. Either way, I promise it won’t be boring!
In the videos below, I refer to the title of my book as : “Walking is for Wimps”
That was the original title I chose for my book because I have always believed that if a person is somewhat active and chooses to do cardiovascular exercise by walking, they must do so with a purpose! ‘Wimpy Walking’ will not produce positive long-lasting results either physically, mentally or emotionally.
I changed the title to: “How to Achieve and Maintain your Happy Weight” because it better describes what my book is about – an all-encompassing guide on HOW to lose weight. And, of course, one of the chapters deals specifically with HOW you can learn to cardio-exercise more effectively and efficiently. In other words, if you like to walk, don’t “Walk like a Wimp”!
When exercising with intensity, it is important to breathe efficiently. I have developed my own breathing pattern that I use when I start working out harder. I inhale deeper than usual thru my mouth, and then I do two very short but forceful exhales thru my mouth. I call it my “Double Exhale” breathing pattern.
This breathing pattern makes a big difference when I am breathing hard. The deeper inhale helps me get more oxygen into my lungs, which is used by my active muscles to keep going. The two very short forceful exhales enable me to inhale again sooner, which in turn provides more oxygen to my muscles. If I didn’t breathe this way when I exercise hard, I wouldn’t last as long.
