Easy Fitness - All You Need To Know About Fitness - Table Of Contents
83
The Easy Fitness Table of Contents is the ongoing and growing resource published by Sue Adams on Health, Weight Loss Tips, Physical Intelligence and all you need to know about fitness in mind and body. Each article is self contained and can benefit the reader independently of all the others. But as the number of articles increases, it has become necessary to provide an ongoing, constantly updated Table of Contents for those readers who wish to follow the EasyFitness Hubs in their intended chronological and physiological order. Watch the videos.
The Original Plan
The original intention for the EasyFitness series was to follow Juliette Kando's classic plan: Start at the base (the feet, grounding etc.) and gradually work up through the body dealing with each set of joints, one at a time (ankles, knees, pelvis etc... finishing at the top of the skull and beyond). I am still pursuing that original plan with a few necessary side-tracks.
Distractions
Yes, I got distracted. For example, when I wrote the article about the feet, I realised it wouldn’t be much use informing readers about their feet if no attention was paid to the type of shoes they were wearing. So before I could continue with the ankles and knees,etc. I had to write an article about what shoes can do to people’s feet. And so on, you understand.
But Finally
I have come up with a comprehensive summary where, hopefully, you can find what you are looking for.

hi, Ms Sue, nice hubs and short explanation but ample,
Hi Sue, great hub. I enjoyed it because it was fast, simple and gets to the point :)
I loved this hub, very helpful to me. Thank you.
Thank you nice people for dropping by. After and during reading my hubs in the Easy Fitness series I hope you will all get off your buts (for some of the time) and try some of the moves for real.
great hub
Thank you for dropping by Granny's House and 4everfitness, glad you could make it, come back soon.
What an amazing hub. It links to so much valuable information. people pay thousands of dollars for the info you are giving away for free.
Kudos to you and a great hub.
Your hub is now listed on my blog. You can find the link to my blog on my profile.
Cheers
Dale
WOW! Terrific hub! I am bookmarking this one to come back and read many times. Thanks!
Glad you liked it Dale Mazurek. I couldn't find the link on your blog. Never mind.
Yes trose, I think you will learn a lot from an old pro if you come back to read every link on this hub. Remember to start at "How to Structure an Exercise Session". After that, start at the base, with your feet "These Feet Are Made For Walking"
There are three new articles with videos in the Easy Fitness Series since you last visited:
1. Find your Waistline or Die
2. Dangers of Meat Consumption and
3. How to Treat a Stiff Neck.
What a useful Hub Sue. I have read some of the hubs and am particularly impressed with the one about Hanging Upside down. It seems to be a perfect way of improving your body without any effort. I am seriously thinking about getting a gravity inverter now
Just keep the exercises simple and any that you do will be better than nothing.
Great hub very informative I love the idea of starting exercising from your feet and work your way up great hub
So much info here, it's hard to know where to start. For me, I am going to do someting about my pot belly and start with "How to Become a Good Mover", which sounds more fun than doing sit-ups for hours on end.
Hi Henry,
Sorry for the late reply. I have been away for a while. Have you got your gravity invertor yet? How are you getting on?
Good idea Jean and good luck.
Fantastic hub! Simple, comprehensive and very informative. Thank you!
Thank you Tomek, glad you liked it.
Hi Glen,
Nice to see you here, come back soon.
Very informative and healthy Hub, but it will be lots of hard work. lol.
No pain, no gain...
Hi Lady_E,
My motto is actually "No Pain, Just Gain!" When you listen to your body and get a better understanding of how it works for you, then you discover that learning to move well (rather than dumb, blind, pushy exercise) is easy, great fun, and exhilarating. No hard work, no pain, only body awareness and physical intelligence come into play.
Great to have found one single place with all the info I need to keep up to date with the best fitness advice. I have bookmarked the page, read some of the hubs mentioned here and done some of the exercises. Somewhat unconventional, but they make a lot of sense to me.
Thanks for posting Sue!
Hello Chris,
That is the whole idea behind Easy Fitness, to take out all the commercial hype, torturing machines and dogma, to make people think for themselves, feel and understand their own bodies. Remember my motto: "No Pain, Just Gain!".
