Land On Your Feet. Every Time.

Walking is a comfortable and natural thing to do. I don't need to tell you how useful it is when you want to get somewhere, or go for a walk on the treadmill, or even just have something to do with your hands. However, did you know that walking can actually make you fit? Ridiculous as it sounds, if you practice walking in the correct way then not only will it be better for your physical health but also for your mental health too. This post will tell you everything about how to make sure that every time someone says "Ready? Go!" It's your move!

The "Land On Your Feet. Every Time.

Firstly, you need to take a look at your posture. If you're like me, then chances are you probably spend most of your time hunched over a keyboard or staring at a screen of some sort. This doesn't do your body any good. So take a few moments to stand as tall as possible and spread out as much as you can. Breathe in deeply so that you expand not only your belly but also the area surrounding it. Then, breathe out and relax yourself so that it's once again easier for you to stand up straight.

Secondly, you need to work on your core strength. To do this, it's a good idea to stand on a step and imagine that your stomach is the wall behind you. You need to keep your abs engaged so that you don't fall over. Start by holding the position for five minutes or for as long as you can go without fidgeting or losing focus. The goal is to make sure that you're doing so without thinking about it too much because doing so will allow you to focus on how good it really feels not how bad it feels . If your belly is tight, try tensing and releasing the muscle for three seconds out of every ten seconds in order to loosen up your core muscles a little more than usual.

Thirdly, you need to strengthen your body. When you first stand up, make sure that your heels are touching each other as much as possible while also making sure that they are in line with your toes. Also, make sure that you have a slight gap between them and the ground. Stand still for a few moments and try to bring your knees up with each breath you take in. Your knees should stay slightly bent throughout this process because it'll help you maintain balance. Once again, hold this position for five minutes or for as long as you can before starting over again at zero and trying to build up more time every time you repeat the exercise.

Finally, you need to do a knee lift. Stand up as tall as you can, spread out your feet and then close the gap between them. As you bring your knees up and down, you need to make sure that your heels are staying on the ground. Once again you should hold this position for five minutes or for as long as you can before trying to increase the time each time that you repeat the exercise. This is really good because every time that your body falls into a particular pattern and starts doing something over and over again, it becomes easier over time because it doesn't have to think about what it's doing so much anymore. This helps reduce mental strain while also making sure that your mind doesn't wander off elsewhere.

So there you have it. It might seem a little silly at first but repetition is one of the best ways to master a skill so this article will definitely help you on your journey to becoming a healthier, happier person.

The Web is a small universe. It's a much smaller universe than the ocean, but it's still a universe.

And so what happens on the Web is that if you post something, and someone disagrees with it, you will get a comment on that post in return. But what if I told you that there was one way to get back a comment from anyone on the Web?

Well, rest assured, there’s no magic trick to doing this. All you have to do is take your blog URL and put in “comments” at the end of your URL like this example: http://myblogurl.com/comments/

Give it a click and you will be surprised how many comments you get back. For me, I can get two to three times more comments by enabling this comment management system on my blog.

Now it’s important to note that there are some people who turn off their comment section. They want to know who is trying to talk to them. They want a certain type of commenter, such as one who belongs to a certain group or someone they already know. If you are one of these judgmental types of people, well then you may want to take the time out of your day and actually reply back directly on someone else’s site.

Conclusion:

I think that this system is pretty great. If you ever want to build your blog, don't forget to enable comments for yourself.
