Russell Wilson is quickly becoming one of
my favorite athletes, not just because he is leading my favorite team to a
winning season, but because of his equanimity. Whether the Seahawks are winning
or losing, he advises teammates and fans to stay present and focus on what’s
important. This is great advice for anyone as staying fit requires staying
aware of your energetic, physical, and mental states and choosing activities
that are appropriate for your situation. I’ve found that traditional exercise
doesn’t always fit the bill, but here are some resources that can help.
Many of the links to the Therapeutic
Fitness Challenge videos will remain active on my YouTube channel. You can also buy
my book, Relieve Stiffness and Feel Young Again with Undulation and CDs,
Undulation Exercises, on Amazon or directly through my distributor for a super-saver,
half-price discount.
Undulation Break is a computer program that
reminds you to move throughout the day. You can program it to fit your schedule
and also to include undulations that suit your body’s needs. Find out more at www.undulationbreak.com.
My yoga teacher, Robin Rothenberg of
Essential Yoga Therapy, has a set of yoga practices specifically designed to
reduce low back pain and a very enjoyable yoga meditation CD.
Her website also has some yoga practices, one
of my favorites is one from her class for people with MS and PD.

Also, Mary Bond is a Rolfer who has taught me a lot about movement. Her DVD, Heal Your Posture, is a wonderful resource, too.
Stay aware and stay active.
