Three Time Free Strategies For Maximizing Health and Fitness

Everyone is always trying to “get fit” but for many working adults there aren’t enough hours in the day. Four evenings in the gym can take away as many as eight hours out of an already busy schedule. While the hours in the gym may be rewarding, the hours stuck in traffic on the way to the gym are just wasted time. However, going to the gym isn’t the only way to improve your health and get fit. Here are three simple “time-free” things that all adults can do to improve their fitness and stay in shape.Maximize the time doing “chores” – Chores are a tedious time consuming activity, but are still essential to having a clean, nice home. So why not maximize the time you spend doing chores and get fit at the same time? When looking to maximize your chore-time; think outside the box. For example, use an old-fashioned traditional broom with a heavy wooden handle instead of a lightweight plastic broom. Sweeping a kitchen floor with an added three pounds can increase the calorie burn and help tone muscles.Walk and Climb – It’s becoming a cliche to ‘take the stairs’ or ‘walk more’; but that doesn’t make it false. People often waste time driving to the gym in order to walk on a machine for thirty minutes when they can do the same activity at home or at work. With a pedometer you can easily track your additional steps. The Harvard Alumni study of walking showed that walking 6,000 steps in a day can help maintain health and fitness and 10,000 can significantly help lose weight. The good news is that it is easy to begin to maximize your steps while doing everyday activities. For example, rather than spend two or three minutes driving around looking for that “perfect parking spot”; park in the back and enjoy the extra exercise. Often you’ll actually save time by parking in the back of the lot and walking the extra distance instead of driving around looking for that “perfect spot.”Multivitamin and Nutrition – The truth is, no matter how much you exercise, you cannot stay healthy and be fit while depriving your body of needed nutrients. Fortunately it can be easy to get needed nutrition (for you AND your children) by making a few simple changes. You can adjust the nutritional intake in your diet by simply substituting pastas and breads made with whole grains rather than the old white flour. You can buy juices and snack drinks made with real fruit juice rather than ‘juice cocktail.’ And you can readily and easily take a multivitamin to help cover your daily needs. Multivitamins are like a safety net for any balanced diet. They provide blanket coverage of your daily nutritional needs, independent of the particular meals for that day. And because it almost impossible to get “too much” of a vitamin, multivitamins are safe to take daily.

You Can Stop Your Gambling Addiction

Compulsive gamblers of all ages continually fear the day they know they will have to stop gambling. Most of them realize this when their personal resources are dwindling with each passing day.

I remember the day I had ten thousand dollars still left in my savings account. The next day I had five thousand and a week later I had overdrawn my account by $150.00. Even though I realized I had a problem, I couldn’t stop my addiction. I wanted to gamble and win back all the money I had lost. I knew that I should stop, but I refused to and the end result was devastating for me. I had no money and no where to go. I still had my job and my dream of winning big someday. I thought I could never beat this gambling addiction, so I figured why bother. Then I realized I wanted to change my life for the better. I realized I had to take one day at a time. I needed to slow my thoughts down and focus on only one thing at a time. I learned to think about today and did not worry about tomorrow.

When I woke up each morning usually not too grumpy I made the decision of whether or not I was going to gamble today. I gave myself the choice and at the same time I thought about all the destructive behavior. This morning I made the choice I did not want to gamble today. I realized if I told myself I could never gamble again I was adding too much stress to my life.

Compulsive gamblers compound their stress when telling themselves they will never gamble again. Life is too short and it’s time to live to the fullest.

Once compulsive gamblers realize that they are good people and they deserve the best in life their recovery seems to accelerate.

Mr. Howard Keith has an extensive background in dealing with compulsive gamblers and relatives and friends of gamblers. Mr. Keith believes there are many alternatives to aid in the recovery of a gambling addiction.

The Male Chastity Lifestyle and Your Emotions

A common misapprehension about the male chastity lifestyle is it’s about just two things: sex and submission. And while this may well be the main concern for some people, in my experience, both in my own life and with men and women I’ve spoken to about this, the truth is usually somewhat different. There’s no doubt most relationships when they settle down to the nitty-gritty of real, mundane life experience a marked reduction in sexual activity, both in terms of frequency and duration. What’s more, our sheer, naked lust tends to tail off so, unless we make a concerted effort for it to be otherwise, we become generally less adventurous, too. In some couples sex actually becomes, in the words of many a woman, “a chore“.

Sex!

Now, it’d be a mistake to think that simply having more sex is the answer. It can be, to be sure, but even this is harder than it sounds. Having hot, bed-breaking, mattress-splitting sex when you’re “making” yourself do it hoping to boot-strap things is no mean feat. And this is where the male chastity lifestyle can make a real difference, although not necessarily just for the reasons you might think. It’s true your man is going to be hornier because he’s having fewer orgasms. Not only that, but because he’s having to please you in other ways, he’s going to be even hornier than he’d be if he was just deprived of his orgasms (you won’t believe how turned on your man is going to get when he’s pleasing you with his tongue, and the knowledge his own orgasm is not on the cards is in the forefront of his mind).

But the real benefit and the reason you hear all the stories about how loving, attentive and lustful your man becomes is the emotions it sparks in both of you. You see, what you’re doing, among other things, is recapturing the early-days’ intimacy. That in turn ramps up all those yummy emotions: love, attraction, warmth, fun, and all the rest of it.

Submission!

The second part of the common misapprehension is submission. Not all men become submissive when they embrace the male chastity lifestyle. Some do, of course, and some women like that. But in my experience, again, most men don’t, which is just as well because most women don’t like it. What we do like is a man who’s considerate, confident, loving, caring and attentive but without being weak, pestering and like a big, spoiled child. Most unattractive, right, girls?

Now, a woman’s emotions tend to be more complex than a man’s. And when you first embrace the male chastity lifestyle they can be very fragile and changeable because you’re not quite sure what to expect. On the one hand, you’re perhaps nervous: despite reading this article, despite your partner’s assurances, you’re still not sure he’s not a bit… weird. Let’s be honest. It’s all new to you, for all you know it means massive change, and you’re not 100% certain where the male chastity lifestyle is going to end up taking you both.

Yet then there’s the sheer power of your femininity!

Yes, that power rush. The same one you got when you first realised the Power of the Little Black Dress when you walked a certain way past the men who couldn’t keep their eyes off you… well, it’s like that again. When you’ve got your man worked up into such a state he doesn’t know his up from his down and he’s begging and pleading with you to be allowed to orgasm, and you know he’s not going to get mad or sulky when you say “NO!“, because it’s something he’s begged you to do to him, then you feel that rush of power.

And you can feel a bit guilty, a bit naughty, like you’ve done something you shouldn’t, like you’re enjoying something exquisitely “naughty” no “nice girl” would ever dream of. You can’t stop that feeling from sneaking up on you, but you can decide what to do about it, how to react. And the best way to react?

Enjoy it. Revel in it.

Because this hot, emotional rush is one of the major unspoken-about benefits of the male chastity lifestyle… and once you’ve tried it, you won’t want to go back to the old way of living ever again… and nor will your man.
