Life Fitness Orlando

A new concept……..

Dictionary definition of body/mind/spirit:

In complementary and alternative medicine, the whole person, recognized and treated as a unique living intersection of the physical, mental, emotional, and subtle energies.

Wow that is a mouthful, but no not a new concept, in fact you can find reference to body, mind and spirit as far back as 1000 BC. Life fitness magazine is about bringing this concept into our daily lives with suggestions and articles to improve this connection and achieve balance, along with being an inspirational and motivational magazine. The New concept we have with introducing Life Fitness Orlando Magazine to you is being a monthly source of inspiration to you with positive upbeat articles.

Fitness for our lives is about balance; imagine the core values of your life as being spokes on a bicycle wheel. The spokes may represent career, relationships/social, physical, mental, and spiritual/service. Ideally all the spokes would be the same length in pertaining to the amount of our life we spend or the value we place in each area. The wheel is in a perfect round shape when all the spokes are equal in length and the wheel rolls through life with ease. Everyone’s wheel has a different number of spokes the minimum amount is 3 representing body, mind, and spirit.

Now picture the wheel if the spokes were of different lengths say for instance your body/exercise spoke the amount of time or value you place on exercising is longer than your family/relationship spoke the value or amount of “life time “ spent with your family. The wheel will then be out of round or out of shape and would be a bumpy ride. This example may manifest itself being out of round by quarrels over the way you spend your time, or too much exercise could effect your health to the point of lowering your immune system and becoming sick then effecting other areas of your life like missing work due to over training and becoming sick which then effects your finances. This is just one example and you can see the domino effect it has on the other areas of your life. So balance in life is key to living with less stress and living life in an optimum state of well being.

Okay I am not claiming to have achieved this in its entirety but it is my goal. My approach tends to be light hearted and not staunch adhering to a set of rules I have set up for myself which may lead to disruption of peace in my life. I believe a dynamic, fluid and flexible attitude works well and guards against feeling guilty for not measuring up to a self imposed system of balance.

To sum it up recognize the connection between your body, your mind and your spirit and the effect they have on each other. Strive for balance in your life in these areas but not in a rigid manner.

Life Fitness magazine will seek to provide you with the resources to achieve this balance we have talked about above and have success in life, with a storehouse of inspiring positive stories of local people who have overcome obstacles in life and come out on top, interview with fitness professionals, the latest fitness/exercising routines, excellent recipes, calendar for fun and events, and articles on improving oneself on a variety of topics.

In closing, have fun with life! Laugh when you can, be positive, seek enlightenment, help others and stay healthy.
