WCR Palm Beaches- We Had the Most Remarkable Speaker Today! Let Me Share Her Tips.
At our monthly business meeting of the Women’s Council of Realtors Greater Palm Beach Chapter we were privileged to have as our speaker Christine King. Christine is owner and President of Your Best Fit but her story begins almost 17 years ago when she was seriously injured in a Jet-Ski accident.
Unable to feel her legs as she was being removed from the water, Christine and her family did not know if she would ever walk again. Her lower lumbar vertebrae exploded in the accident and surgery was performed to remove bone from her hip and replace it in her back.
Christine remembers the doctors telling her parents that had she not been in such incredible shape, she might not have survived the accident.
Christine decided to switch gears and devote her career to helping people get fit. After surgery, rehabilitation and a lot of positive feedback from others, Christine began her crusade.
Let me tell you that the Christine King I saw walked on her own and had enough energy to fill the room.
I wanted to share some of the tips she gave us:
1. Most of us don’t exercise like we should because “we don’t have enough time.” Right! We all did this and it’s invigorating!
Set your timer for 30 seconds. Now sit tall in your chair. Start the timer, then see how many times you can stand up and sit down again in those 30 seconds.
Go ahead... do it. I’ll still be here.
Now... do this at every meal. Plan a time when you’re at your desk and make it a habit.
FYI- the average number of “ups and downs” was around 20.
2. Drink water! How much?
You should drink ½ your body weight in ounces per day! So if you weighed 150 pounds, you’d drink 75 oz of water per day, or about 9 glasses of water. And if you have an “adult beverage”, you’d want to drink 2 glasses of water to counteract it.
Another tip- drink a cold glass of water with your meal because it will make you eat less. Take your other glasses at room temperature.
3. For Realtors in particular! Pack a lunch box with ice packs of prepared healthy foods. And, since you can’t burn calories without eating food, you need to eat! She also recommended eating every 3 hours.
4. Breathe! Take a deep breath and slowly exhale through your mouth. Do it again!
Thank you Christine for giving us some of your energy.
