I think this is a sane recommendation for any person: work out sensibly for one hour, every day of your life! Not too extreme, and not wimpy- you need this hour for strength and flexibility training, not mindless cardio, where you run like a brainless chicken. Such “training” only drains you, diminishes your muscle, not build it, and ignores strength building (the essence of truly working out!).

A true workout is very mindful. You need to ‘think into’ your muscles, flexing them slowly, and intentionally, throughout each exercise. This can be using weights, barbells and dumbbells, or bands, calisthenics, or a myriad of machines. What you use is not really that important at all- sales people will tell you otherwise, but trust me: it’s the intensity that matters. Time under tension, if you will.

I use a combination, gymnastic rings hung up high are actually a near genius exercise device! Instantly scalable, from very easy, to superhuman level. All in a rather cheap, portable package that never wears out, and can target every part of your body. Pushups, pull ups, rows, one-legged squats, dips- you have it all in the rings! Plus, it’s silent, and actually kind of fun, in a way…

You can also add in other things, like heavy deadlifts (on occasion!), along with Jefferson curls, also called stiff legged deadlifts for the lower back- very effective, and very SAFE! As I have aged, I have stopped doing a full routine, and instead do upper body one workout, and the next workout do lower body. Full body, at least at age 72, is too much; better to split the workout for recovery.

To workout for one hour per day should not seem onerous- it is well worth it to spend one hour out of 24, when by doing so you make the other 23 hours far more enjoyable and productive! You will make yourself immune from awful joint replacement operations, and bypass endless diseases of disuse that clog our medical clinics!

Each day, what works for me, and has for many years, is to get up, and stretch and do what I call ‘virtual resistance’ in front of the television. This is simply flexing your limbs, for repetitions, as if you were lifting weights. You supply the resistance from within as you move. Try it with curls: just curl you arms, as if you hold weights. You can make it as hard as you like, simply by flexing! Do it with curls, military presses, shoulder raises- every exercise there is. Cover the whole body, and you will be drenched in sweat if you did it intensely enough, and on top of it you will feel energized, rather than drained as if you had used actual weights.

Do this for about 1/2 hour, while you enjoy your TV program. Then, later that day, go to your rings and weights. Mine are in the basement, yours could be outside, or anywhere really. Rings at least!

I also add in, besides ring pushups and pull-ups, etc. : Superslow pull-ups, dips, and military presses! I watch my big clock on the wall, and do military presses with a dowel, slowly, as I resist my super slow movement up, and then down, for one minute, to a minute and a half. You need a power rack for this, but you could do the super slow pull-up slowly on the rings, bending your legs on both the upward, and the lowering portion. Just make it as hard as you can, for both up and down!

Then, the super slow dip needs a dip station: I made mine out of plumbing pipe years ago. Just go slowly up, and down, for at least a minute.

The beauty is, that there is NO danger of injury, and you are strengthening not only your musculature- but your tendons and ligaments as well! This whole routine should only be anothe

As we age, standard medical practice expects us to give up all common sense, and self-determination. They want to “take over” everything, and we are supposed to just acquiesce…

I am here to tell you to vehemently protest, and to take charge of your own health and future, just as you hopefully have for your entire life. Modern Medicine is NOT your friend!

My uncle Bob Manthey, my mother’s older brother, just turned 102 last week. He never saw a medical doctor during his life, except when he enlisted before World War 2. He got mandatory vaccines then, probably for smallpox, tetanus, and cholera. That was the last time he received medical treatment…

Uncle Bob became an eye doctor himself after the war, where he served as a Navy Pilot. He was (and is still!) a very intelligent man, and very concerned with natural health!

He went on to have 12 children, and a wonderful, healthy, rural life. He started in South Dakota, where he was born, and eventually moved to Kansas City to expand his medical practice.

Of course, natural genetics has a lot to do with lifespan. But the way you live, a life in nature on the land, eating a natural ancestral diet while avoiding toxins such as cigarettes, excessive sweets, and participating in natural exercise protocols also has a lot to do with anyone’s health!

Uncle Bob used to come visit us at my parent’s house, and he never failed to give lectures and demonstrations about natural health and its importance! He always posed for pictures with ours and his family, seated cross-legged on the ground, throughout his 90’s! He never ceased to amaze me, and still does.

Now, he lives with his daughter, and still enjoys dancing and playing music on a number of instruments. He is a role model for us all!

Compare this to people today, who go constantly to the doctor and clinic. Whether they have an ailment or not!

Colonoscopies, Cat scans, extensive examinations; the list goes on and on….

Trust me, the list is endless, and once they get you in their clutches, they will test and scan endlessly, until all of your money is gone. Even with good insurance, they will take all of your money- even if nothing, ultimately, is really wrong.

This is the modern scam.

I am here to suggest that you just be like my Uncle Bob! AVOID the doctor. If you break a gone, or are gun-shot- go in. They are Great at such emergency care! But as for granting you health, for making you a vital, healthy, long-lived person?

In this, they are without a clue.

I am 72 now. My wife of the same age and I have both gotten cataract surgery, and that is a true wonder of modern medicine, just like emergency life saving medicine. In fact, going to an eye doctor is probably the best care you can get- non-invasive, no harm involved, and they can tell by observing your eye health the entire cardiovascular health of your whole body! Just by seeing the condition or the vascular makeup of your eyes.

But if you go to a standard medical internal medicine doctor, they just go by charts and generalities. “You are over 50? Take a statin! And blood pressure medications! And see me twice per year, and I’ll give you endless meds, forever and ever. You’re welcome…”

They told my own father that he had high blood pressure his whole life. They said he still did when he died at 98.

I call bullshit.

No doctor will tell you that high blood pressure happens for a reason. Your body needs blood somewhere,

We all want to live a good life. We NEED to live a good, successful, in harmony with nature and our neighbors type of life! But, what sort of life should this be? Should we live in accordance with modern tradition, by moving to a major metropolitan area, and get a high paying job, and raise our family either in the city itself, or in the nearby suburbs?

NO! What you really want and need, to be healthy and well adjusted, is to live a PALEO LIFE. By this, I mean a life that is in accordance with our evolutionary past. A life that, just like the paleo diet itself, is in the way that we evolved, and and the type of life that we are meant to live. A life that will make us ourselves, our families, and our nearby community all in sync with nature, and will allow us to be the best, most in harmony with our evolution that we can be!

What sort of life would this be? We are going back go Ancient Greek, and early Christian ideals here. I believe # 1 would mean a rural, either country or small town type of life. A place where we know our neighbors well, where everyone is as self-sufficient as they can be!

A place where all have a voice, and big government is as minimal as it can be. A place in the woods, or in the countryside, far from the inevitable corruption that accompanies metro-types of areas, where there are huge concentrations of people in a smallish area.

Look at our big cities of today, everywhere: they have become awful places, in every sense of the word. Out of control crime, de-policing, no punishment for horrible acts, along with horrible schools that teach nothing, and could care less. Big cities are now cesspools of crime, where the most evil and incompetent are put in charge!

I see our modern cities in the U.S. where I live now, as akin to old cities of antiquity, that are abandoned and left in the jungles. The builders have left, or been destroyed, and replaced by degenerates, and even subhumans who have wandered into these cities, and pretended, or ‘aped’ the former residents, with no knowledge or ability of how to actually maintain or step into the roles of these forebears. They only want the power, the ‘prestige’ of the former geniuses, with no responsibilities or anything else.

So, where to go? These cities are utterly lost. Rural America is still unspoiled! Go there, and build a life. It is still available, as long as big government, meaning nowadays big Democratic top-down authoritative government if kept at bay!!

Smaller cities, particularly in the Midwest and the West are still unsullied, and open to honest settlers. They are basically unchanged, and while ‘liberal’ socialist types are everywhere, even here, they are not given free rein! Reason still rules, although liberal/socialistic/communistic nonsense is constantly attacking…

Florida is an antidote to the retarded hellhole of what California has become, and so that is certainly an option. You will need to do your homework, but the thing is: at least in the U.S. there are many places where you can still go to live a successful paleo type of life! A life unencumbered by Big Government, and a purposeful breakdown of Western Civilization itself.

Go to where small towns, small businesses, and small schools still hold sway! Homeschooling is wonderful, and small towns is very similar to what it was in “Little House on the Prairie”, where local families hired a teacher to teach their children directly, and determined the curriculum. No Teacher’s Union was asked for, or wanted!

Remember: This is for your own good as well. Each person and family is such communities wil
