Ya Gotta Move!

The key to health and well being?  MOVEMENT.  The human body was meant to move, it is essential for our health and well being.  A simple exercise regimen of walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope whatever will help restore your health, mood, and wellness.

Don't over think it.  Just begin. Like anything else in nature if it doesn't get used it rusts away, it decays, movement provides oxygen to our cells, restores our bodies, brains, emotions.  We all know the physical benefits of movement are increased muscle tone, heart function, and circulation, but many of us overlook the mental benefits of exercise.  We can replace the pills used to treat anxiety, depression, and other disorders with a movement or exercise program.  The side affects of these pills can wreak havoc on the body.

Look to increase your physical activity any way that you can.  Track your progress, track your physical improvement and emotional well being.  Keep a simple journal listing your activities, and the progress you've made.

Don't get discouraged.  This is not a race. There are no winners and losers.

This is a lifestyle change.  I am committed to movement and exercise because it is essential to living like food, water, and air we must move.

Spring is in the air.  A time of new growth, blooming, a time for a new you.  Yes, of course you can do it!

Now let's get moving.

With Love,

Juan

The United States is a country of immigrants, from the original pilgrims to the europeans that left looking for a better life.  Juan is the new generation of immigrants looking for a better life.

While many Americans fret over the future and what our lives and the lives of our children will be like, Juan came here with the simple goal of improving himself and the fortunes of his family.  All he wanted was an opportunity.  He's worked hard built his business one customer at a time.   He is responsive, attentive, professional, and humble.  His goal is to please his customers, who in turn give him more business.  He is a self made man.

Juan's simple value of service of giving more than receiving has enabled him to grow his business from one employee and an old pickup truck to a thriving business with 50 employees and 10 trucks.

Juan is American ingenuity.  Juan does not speak English very well, he does not have a college education but what he does have is DESIRE, and desire can overcome many obstacles.

Juan is hungry and motivated, but he is also caring and gracious.

Juan is an American success story.
