“Joy of Movement” was the first choice for the name of my company. This phrase so well reflects how I feel after an Essentrics® class, and is a reminder of being grateful for my health and mobility. Then I discovered that this phrase was already taken by other websites and book titles. This is when I arrived at “Happiness of Everything” as an all-encompassing idea of so many things that make up “happiness”: being able to move with ease, enjoy the nature, hear and feel the music, share a smile, cherish the relationship with family and friends, express yourself through arts and crafts, and the list goes on…
I recently watched “Warren Buffett’s 10 Critical Lessons Every Retiree Must Know” on YouTube. Lesson # 2 is about protecting your health as the biggest asset. There is enough research that proves that the loss of strength and mobility is a result of inactivity, not aging. Miranda Esmonde-White, the creator of Essentrics®, embodies this principle. She designed her program to be very effective AND easy to start. For those of us who can no longer run, practice yoga or play tennis, Essentrics®, by design, is the ticket to maintain our strength, mobility and flexibility without pain, exhaustion and excessive pressure on the joints.
Of course, there are many other wonderful exercise programs. Find the one that makes you happy and energized, and puts a smile on your face. Keep moving in order to protect your biggest asset!
