Barbara O’neill: “Stagnation is death & activity is life.”

  • The way we live can determine the way we die. What we do in our 20s is revealed in our 40s.

  • Exercise improves your circulation.

  • You can’t afford not to do it.

  • The heart is a muscle that can be strengthened by exercise or weakened by lack of exercise.

  • A lack of physical activity can significantly increase the risk of developing chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and depression, while also contributing to weight gain, reduced muscle mass, poor mental health, and decreased overall quality of life.

  • Barbara’s best workout: HIIT - High intensity interval training.
    • 6 cycles of 30 seconds of intense workout followed by 90 seconds recovery time. (15 minutes a day)

    • It’s the most effective way to workout.

    • Another movement tip from Barbara: Rebounding (2 minutes a day in the morning)

    • Strength comes from defying gravity

    • Acceleration and deceleration stimulates the lymphatic system. (body’s vacuum pushes out toxins from the body.

    • Swelling? - rebound

    • Upset baby? - rebound

    • Pregnant? - rebound
