Let’s Get In Touch With Our Bodies

Our body is quite a magnificent machine.
So much to its function not known or not seen.
From muscles to organs our nerves and each bone.
Are you proud of the body into which you have grown?

When you think of most athletes, all tone and so fit,
Their athletic condition reflects on their grit.
God gave us control in most cases I’d say.
What shape are you in and how’d you get that way?

Obesity’s everywhere.  Our world is quite sick.
It’s time we found out what it is makes us tick.
Time to get healthy—make up for lost ground.
The health we had lost—it is time it be found.

Therefore let us start with awareness of us.
So many broad topics that we could discuss.
By knowing some things about breathing and diet.
Stretching and strengthening—how to apply it.

By learning each joint—how it bends and then why.
What makes our blood pump.  How to clean our supply.
The need for clean oxygen.  Learning to breathe.
Learning how to relax.  These are things you’ll achieve.

Increasing your stamina.  Have my assurance.
That you will find gain in your failing endurance.
Some changes in diet—being truly aware.
The simplest program all done from your chair.

I will teach you the pressure points.  Where you should strike.
When confronted by someone you truly dislike.
Who leaves you no choice but defending what’s yours.
Some simple ways that you might settle your scores.

When stretching you’ll learn to use joints causing pain.
By pushing and bending—applying tense strain.
By knowing your body and being alert.
It lessens the chances that you will get hurt.

Now don’t get me wrong.  I do not condone fighting.
When you least expect it, in your face it’s inviting.
That’s why I have added defense to my tape.
It blends in so perfect with getting in shape.

Before we are done you’ll understand it much clearer.
What it going to take to look good in your mirror.
Your thinking will change from your one of resentment.
You will find inner peace and a newfound contentment.

I will help you my best.  I will share what I know.
I’ll take you wherever you’re committed to go.
In achieving good health to avoid getting sick.
It’s high time that you learned what it is makes you tick.
