The Stairway to Your Goal: Envision your goal at the top of a stairway and yourself at the bottom. Now look way up at the top, and see your goal. Then look at the next step down from the top. That would be the last step you need to take before you accomplish your goal. What is that step? And what is the step before it, and the one before that? Identify the steps, all the way down to the very first one, the one that's right in front of you. That is the step you can take today. Stand up tall, focus on the top of the stairway, and take that first step. You're on your way! Now all you need to do is just keep taking those steps, one after one. Don't waste your time waiting for the stairway to turn into an escalator that will carry you effortlessly to the top. It won't happen. You've got to take those steps yourself. Take one step at a time, and you are certain to make it. You may occasionally slip, and you might want to sit and rest every now and then. The important thing, though, is to keep on climbing. Every moment, every day. Each step will carry you closer to the top. And on that happy day when you take the last step, give yourself a little break. Relax for a moment, and look down the stairway at how far you've come. Squint your eyes and see if you can make out the people down there, the ones who are just now starting to climb. Then take a deep breath, pat yourself on the back, and go look for the next stairway. Note: WF Members receive motivation like this in their e-mail box every Monday morning!

Top 10 to Avoiding Knee Injury: Knee injuries are very common, especially for people who play a lot of sports. Injury can affect any of the ligaments, bursae, or tendons surrounding the knee joint. Injury can also affect the ligaments, cartilage, menisci (plural for meniscus), and bones forming the joint. The complexity of the design of the knee joint and the fact that it is an active weight-bearing joint are factors in making the knee one of the most commonly injured joints. Women are two to eight times more likely than men to have certain kinds of knee problems like ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears. The ACL is the ligament (strong, elastic bands of tissue that connect bone to bone) that stabilizes the knee. It prevents the knee from moving side to side and forward and backward. There are many things that can influence whether you get a knee injury or not, but there are steps you can take to minimize the risk. Here are my ten best bets for keeping the surgeon away: Make sure that your knees are alignedwith your feet. By that I mean that during a squat, your knees should be traveling forward in the same direction as the toes. If your toes are pointing out to the sides, but your knees seem to be going straight forward, you know you're asking for trouble! Imagine an invisible line to which your feet are aligned. All you have to is keep your knees strictly in the same line.

Hot Fitness Tip of the Week
In most women the abdominals muscles gradually begin to join together a few days after the delivery. But if the mother has not trained her abdominals after a previous pregnancy, has had a large baby or has carried out strong abdominals exercise then there is a possibility that her abdominals will not join at the centre and she will develops a pendulous abdomen or big tummy. You can check if your tummy muscles have come together by doing the two – fingers test . Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor . Raise your head off the ground as if to do a curl-up . Take two fingers and place them just below your tummy button. If there is a hole wider than two fingers then your abdominals have not come together yet . In this case you need to train them to join back together again and avoid strong abdominals exercise until this occurs.
