Just got done with a 15 minute “working-in” full body session. After teaching physical education all day and having to deal with crazy middle schoolers, I needed to de-stress and unwind a bit. If you are reading this right now most likely you are a bit stressed as well. It could be nutritional stress, work, exercise, mental/emotional stress, or finanacial stress. If that is you I encourage you to incorporate some “work-in” activities. The main effect of the exercises in a work-in routine is that they cultivate more energy than they
expend, leaving enough energy to stimulate and fortify your healing processes (Paul Chek). To Keep things simple “working-out” can take alot out of you especially in a stressed state and make things worse inside and outside of your body.

With that said try things such as slow walking, breathing exercises, light stretching, yoga, praying, meditating, or tai chi. I recommend you buy the book “How To Eat, Move and Be Healthy” by Paul Chek and do the zone exercises he recommends. For me I have some low back issues from lifting weights and from sports injuries and working-in has helped me with my light pain and kept me functional and overall feeling good. My inflammation has definately gone down. Watch your energy improve, digestion get better, sleep deepen, and your mental functions improve.
