| Today there's so much confusing and
conflicting information on the subject of exercise; it's enough to
make skeptics out of all of us. At GoyaAsma.com, we are taking a step
backwards to simplify and condense all worthwhile information into
TEN SIMPLE, PRACTICAL and UNDERSTANDABLE COMMANDMENTS. Please view
these commandments more as guiding principles in your everyday life.
We have now published the book It's Your Move (see note
at bottom of page) which further expands on each of The Ten Commandments.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOYAASMA
- Cherish physical activity as a blessing.
Being able to move around is truly a blessing - one which
we often don't appreciate until we lose our mobility.
- Stop procrastinating and just do something - everyday.
Forget being perfect! Just get outside and do something -
anything to get your body into motion, even one walk around
the block.
- Play more and enjoy activities with a smile.
Do the physical activities you enjoy the most. Active living
is not a death sentence. What's the point of doing something
you dislike?
- Do safe, sensible and sustainable activities for life.
Too many people destroy their bodies performing activities
that pound and smash their joints. Be safe, be smart, remember
"No Pain, All Gain."
- Do a variety of activities in all four seasons.
To prevent boredom, burnout, and overuse injuries, mix and
match your activities. You'll experience more progress and
stay fresh longer this way.
- Dedicate 3% of your life to active living.
There's 24 hours in a day. Three percent of 24 hours is 43
minutes. That still leaves you 23 hours and 17 minutes to
work, sleep, and wash the dishes.
- Keep a journal of your physical activities.
People who record their physical activities in a journal are
consistent, and those who do not, generally do the "yo-yo
thing". Can you afford 30 seconds each day to record
your physical activities - especially if those 30 seconds
made all the difference in staying motivated and on target
for the rest of your life? If you're willing to spend 30 minutes
a day exercising, how could you not afford to spend another
half minute to record that activity?
- Honor your heart and lungs.
By doing two to three vigorous, high-intensity workouts per
week, you will help strengthen your entire cardiorespiratory
system while improving your aerobic endurance.
- Strengthen your muscles, and stretch daily.
By doing a few safe stretching activities every day, and some
additional strengthening exercises a few times weekly, you
can maintain your musculoskeletal system over a lifetime.
- Spread the word of GoyaAsma.
Every day, share a little of your enthusiasm for active living
with someone. If nothing else, just tell a new person about
