Becoming your own personal trainer: LiveSimplicity discussion forum

Have your say and share your ideas. Join us on the road to simplicity.

It seems that many individuals, given the opportunity, would live a healthy lifestyle consisting of both exercise and a balanced diet. The question is, why aren't most people doing so?

View A

Educating oneself on healthy habits is time consuming enough. With today's overworked lifestyles, often times healthy habits become the last priority.

View B

It's simply a matter of knowing ones body and giving the body what it needs. Keeping track of your progress gives you a clear understanding of how diet and exercise effect your body.

JBonnin thinks: We seem to have lost the understanding that the base to all accomplishments is conquered daily, by keeping a healthy and balanced life.

Therefore, instead of following the sensible way, which is to keep healthy, we make our own diseases and then hire personal trainers and doctors to help us.

One failure of modern education is actually not to consider the individual as a whole. That's why so many western people end by turning to oriental practices and philosophies.

Andrewww thinks: You make an interesting point JBonnin. There is a lot of (inner)wisdom to be found in oriental philosophies. The western culture also brings a lot of benefits to the table. I would like to ask my fellow bloggers the following:

If we can 'pick and mix' what would be the ideal mix of western and eastern 'best practices' to embrace?

For example:

Pro's West: Assertiveness

Pro's East: Balance of body and mind

Search in discussions

e.g. search for technology, christmas, future, bioscan
