Helpful classes for relaxation and exercise

 



During this time of coronavirus we need to boost our endorphins!  I usually attend group exercise classes twice a week, so was really missing the endorphins.  Endorphins are chemicals released by the pituitary gland that help us deal with pain and trigger positive feelings.  They are released with exercise, meditation, and listening to music. 

Need some new music to stimulate well being? Try Earl Klug, Shakti Deva, Kitaro, David Arkenstone, Adreas Vallenweider, Peter Kater, Otmar Liebert, and Marisa (cosmic chants on you tube, the most beautiful female voice I have ever heard!).  My daughter gave me Spotify and I love it. It has many more artists than Pandora. 

Here are some helpful links. 

I made a video geared especially for tension release.

Chair aerobics can be very helpful.  I like the toning exercises, but use only one pound weights. 

Be very cautious with a new activity.  Start out with 5 minute sessions, take a break and then do another 5 minutes. Be cleared by your doctor for exercise.  If you have a lung condition, an oximeter is helpful to monitor your oxygen saturation.  You want it to be near 88% or higher.  If you google chair aerobics there are many classes to chose from.  You have to find a teacher with a voice you like and music your enjoy.

You also can google chair yoga and come up with classes.  Another resource is Amazon Prime.  If you have watched movies on TV with Amazon you are familiar with it. Many people don't know that they also have Yoga and exercise classes.  Just do a search for Yoga, or aerobics. 


I will be adding some videos.  I like videos with outdoor scenery, and they are hard to find.  I think I got hooked on the outdoor scenery from watching Gilad's  exercise program, shot on the beach in Hawaii.

The Mystery of Love

Love makes you feel special.  It changes everyone for the better.  It is the one commodity that multiplies when you give it away.  The more you spread it around, the more you are able to hang on to it because it keeps coming back to you.  Where love is concerned, it pays to be an absolute spendthrift.  It cannot be bought or sold, so give it away.  Throw it away.  Splash it all over!  Empty your pockets!  Shake the basket!  Turn it upside down!  Shower it on everyone--even those who don't deserve it!  You may startle them into behaving in a way you never dreamed possible.  Not only is it the sweet mystery of life, it is the most powerful motivator known to humankind.
