#HeadedToTheJim

How Exciting!

On Sunday afternoon there are going to be 100 Million people watching the Big Game. Many of them gathered together with family and friends and enjoying food and drink.

As the clock begins to wind down to 00:00 in the first half many of them will be getting restless and not just because of all the excitement and suspense as the game progresses. The end of the half is the Moment when 100 Million people are all going to realize. . .You guessed it!. . .They need to use the Potty!

What’s the Problem?

Sunday afternoons while everyone is gathered around the game is not usually the time to bring up exercise, but that is where PottyPT.com can be a game changer! Not only do we realize that our bladders are full, but also that our backs are a little stiff from sitting for so long. And maybe our neck, or our shoulders are sore from the Saturday cleaning before everyone came over. Or maybe it was the week of work we will be starting again on Monday!

What’s the Solution?

In this Moment, PottyPT can make a difference and change the trajectory of your fitness level for the rest of your life. Just a couple of minutes while you are standing in line waiting, or even while sitting in the “John,” you can stretch and strengthen your body to reduce your pain and improve your mobility!

The exercises are simple, but they are effective. The illustrations are clear. The terminology is easy to read and remember. The effects are fast and powerful. The solution for those aches and pains that keep you from doing so much is PottyPT!

With just a couple of Moments a day you can redefine the “John” as the “Jim”! And the next time you have to go, remember, you’re not just “using the facilities!”

You’re “Headed to the Jim!”

Potty PT: Exercises for Back Pain – The Vision

Million huMan Moment (MMM Event)

“I really need to start exercising!” Many of us find ourselves in the same situation. There are millions of Americans who are aware they need to exercise, but for one reason or another, have not started. And this is not the first time we have thought it! Many of us have been saying this for years!

Why don’t we do it?

Time is a factor.

We are all very busy with work, family, friends, other hobbies. Add the need for rest, both mental and physical, from our hectic world and we quickly run out of hours in the day.

Money is a factor.

Many of us have envisioned ourselves working out at the gym on a regular basis and shedding those extra pounds. Wouldn’t it be great to love the way we feel and look just like the success stories we read about in the news? Yet gym memberships cost money. So do workout clothes. So does gas and babysitting.

Pain is a factor.

Many of us have jobs that contribute back pain and muscle and joint soreness to our lives. The idea of going to the gym, or even working out at home, or jogging around the block seems like a lot to ask! Especially, when getting out of the car and into the house at the end of the day feels like a workout!

Socializing is a factor.

And who wants to do all that alone? It would be great to do it with a friend, but then we have to coordinate a schedule with a friend or coworker, and while it can be done, it adds another layer of complication to something that maybe we are thinking doesn’t sound like such a great idea after all.

The Solution.

Join me in a Million huMan Moment Event during the Big Game on Sunday, February 13th. We are inviting you, and all your friends, to join us in being a part of the halftime show! As the clock hits 00:00 at the end of the first half of the Big Game this weekend, post a picture of yourself doing any one of the exercises listed in my book, Potty PT. Look for several of the exercises are listed below. You can see that none of them are difficult, and yet doing them even just periodically throughout your week will have a profound effect on how you feel.

I have collected 17 different exercises that can be done while seated (except the Last Bug Standing (Anatomic Position)) and published them as Potty PT. The exercises are designed to improve your mobility and reduce your pain regardless of your current fitness level. They can be done in a recliner, or on a couch, in an office chair, or even on the commode!

Please look over the exercises! Pick the one that helps the most and try it. You will find that just 1 minute a day for three will make a difference in how your body feels! Then, as soon as the first half ends, snap a selfie in your favorite pose and post it to our Facebook or Twitter! Join a million of your newest friends taking control of their bodies and lives this year!
