Happy New Year! Now get to work.

Happy New Year!

New Year’s resolutions are seldom kept. Rather, make a promise or commitment to yourself to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I can help. I have almost 40 years worth of experience in practicing and teaching others to take control of their health and well-being. Wellness lectures, classes, study guides & booklets.For more information, contact Jim Moltzan at 407-234-0119 or www.MindAndBodyExercises.com

Almost 40 years ago, I began taking notes of what I was learning from my teachers of martial arts, fitness and wellness practices.

Then I started taking graphical notes from doctors, chiropractors, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, acupuncturists, professors and my other health-related teachers.

As technology evolved, so did my note taking.

The video below shows part of my collection of graphical notes from my years of training, studying and learned life lessons.

I have created over 300 graphics depicting various topics or concepts.

I have composed over 20 journals each with a particular health-related theme.

And I have co-authored a book, The Journey Around the Sun.

All of these graphics represent the following topics that I passionately teach in lectures and classes.

Anatomy and physiology
Body mechanics
Wellness concepts
Learning concepts
Stress management
Chronic pain management
Physical rehabilitation
Functionally specific exercise sets
Self awareness
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Eastern philosophy
Energetic anatomy

Never stop learning. Be well, stay healthy, be wise.

Health is Wealth

A balanced mind, body & spirit make a person wealthy in being healthy!

Exercising to achieve performance or attractiveness is often rewarding. However, as we age the following become essential to maintaining health and well-being.

range of motion
joint strength
fine motor skills
adequate sleep
bone density
thought engagement
stress management
balanced organ function
vestibular balance

Self-discipline Can be Developed.

Anything of value is always going to require some amount of sacrifice of time, effort and resources.

For most people, it is very difficult to train or discipline their mind and consequently, their body. People often say or do things they regret only to realize later that they lacked the self control and self awareness to make good decisions to begin with.

By gaining control of the physical anatomy, a relationship with the physical body is developed. When aligning the limbs and joints to stretch and strengthen them, while also maintaining deep and deliberate breathing rhythms, an individual can cultivate a more harmonious link between the mind, body and spirit (self awareness). Practice of exercises that truly engage the mind and body, (very much like yoga) to improve health & wellness. The mind directs the body, while the body protects the mind.

Discipline the mind in order to discipline the body!

Learn how this all works from private, small or group instruction.

Be well!

Protect Your Bones With Tai Chi

As people continue to stay indoors more, many are becoming less active and also more susceptible to vitamin D3 deficiency from lack of sunlight. Both issues can lead to loss of the bone density (osteopenia) and eventually osteoporosis (porous & brittle bones). Bones are not just for structure but also stores minerals and produce blood cells. We need healthy bones!

Tai chi and qigong are my recommendations as they provide weight-bearing exercises that are low-impact on the joints. Plus, you can practice outside (or almost anywhere) and get some sunlight. Regardless of how you exercise – stay active, get some sun and fresh air everyday.
