This article is for those of you who do not exercise and are not particularly active during the course of your daily lives. In other words you are basically "couch potatoes". Whether you know it or not, you can be reducing your lifespan by 5 to 9 years during the course of your life.
Throughout my practice of over 53 years as a Chiropractor, I told my patients of the importance of exercise for their health and particular ailments. I would show them special exercises they should do to alleviate their aches and pains. Unfortunately, during most of this time I never practiced the adage of "physician heal thy-self". It wasn't until my own health would require an intervention that I realized it was time to start my own exercise program.
My dilemma was two-fold. There was no time and I didn't particularly like going to a gym. The only solution was to develop an exercise program that I could do at home, without devoting too much time and not having to buy a lot of equipment and gadgets. I started experimenting with different exercises back in 1996 and finally after about 8 months, I developed a group of exercises that met with my criteria. After two years of doing this exercise myself on a daily basis, and recommending them for my patients, I was so pleased with the results that I decided to produce a video of the program. The program itself is so simple. It takes only 15 to 20 minutes. It can be performed anywhere, anytime, even when traveling. It requires no special equipment or gadgets, just your desire to do it. I prefer doing it first thing in the morning. I have found by doing the exercises in the morning, it loosens up all the muscles and joints and is a perfect way to start your day. There are 5 exercises lying down and 5 exercises standing up. Learn how this particular exercise program will impact your health below.
