The Benefits Of Walking3:18
Walking
Walking is a low impact exercise that can be performed safely every day. Here is a list of motivations to get you out more.
Witness the sunrise and sunset — nothing in life is trivial.
Visit ‘National Trust’ sites. Some of the grounds have phenomenal walks.
Go to the seaside. Earn those chips. Taste the sea air. Drink it in.
Go walking in the woods. The air quality is fantastic. Listen to the birds sing.
We all love shopping. You don’t need money. Go window shopping. Walk.
Park your car at the furthest point. Easier to get parked. More exercise.
Don’t get stuck in a lift. Take the stairs. All that money you are saving on gym.
Get a step-counter. It’ll help motivate you. Set yourself goals.
Increase your daily activity. Burn more calories. Get fitter. ‘Enhance Your Life With Fitness’.

Muscles In Minutes - Mike Mentzer: Stretching0:13
One of my mentors: Mike Mentzer, has always inspired me and provided training information that is logical. A lot of people train for years and are still confused by the many methods to increase muscle size and fitness. Mike has given me clarity of thought.
Exercise has many benefits and it can be highly enjoyable. The important thing is that you are taking steps to improve -- to be a better you.
The short quote by Mike Mentzer is logical and personal. Know your body. Listen to it. Understand it. Make decisions. And sometimes ... less is more.

Bonus Video: Creating Arthur3:11
Arthur was created by Jade Connor for The Prosthetics Event 2017 in Birmingham, UK. The character was further developed and brought to life by Kenneth Balfour (me).
Alien-RoboT Hybrid Unwanted Reject
Arthurs Words: My name is Arthur. I come from another planet. I have made an oath: to protect all living things that do not have the strength to protect themselves. My name, is Arthur.
Arthur's name was given by Jade Connor. Kenneth Balfour created the acronym. Arthur is X-Files meets Worzel Gummidge: an alien-robot hybrid that cares and also has the strength to protect.
Thank you, Jade Connor, for this wonderful, unforgettable character.

***** If you have enjoyed my course, I would really appreciate a rating and some (hopefully) kind words. Thank you! I wish you a fit, healthy, happy life **********

Walking, Woodland, Oxygen & The Quickening

One of my 'inspirations' to get out and get walking. Film locations -- areas of beauty. Join me, for the stunning landscapes of Frensham, Bourne Wood and Hankley Common, Surrey, England, UK. Join me for ... The Quickening!

If you haven't seen 'Highlander' with Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery -- SEE IT!

I wish you all the best on your journey to a healthier, fitter, YOU!

Key word: 'INSPIRATION' -- Be INSPIRED!

Description

This course is aimed at the beginner. This is your starting block. You do not have to go to gym. You do not have to wear jogging bottoms. All of this can be done in your own home and out and about.

The exercises on this course can be done with bodyweight or tins of baked beans and the like. The course will cover exercises that target all muscle groups and I will advise ways of increasing your daily activities to enhance your life with fitness.

I will demonstrate via voice-over and the loveable steampunk 'Arthur' -- the incorrect and the correct way to do exercises. I will inspire you. I will show you the benefits. I will give you fun dietary snippets. I will simplify and give you only what I deem necessary for the beginner. I will also share with you my favourite inspirational quotes and I will endeavour to entertain you.

After completion of this course, you will have a solid foundation. If you choose to join a gym, you will notice that you already understand the concepts and the rest will come easily.

I have been training my body for over 30 years. I have a B.A.W.L.A Leaders Award for the teaching of weight-training. Also, you pick up a lot in three decades. Help me, help you.

The most important thing, is to have fun. Enjoy it!
