Little Chicky Exercise Program by Ellen Jean Barrier

The Little Chicky Exercise Program has been a big success for me. I created this exercise program when my dress size went from a size 10 to size 12. Since I have been using this method to burn calories, I am down to a size 8. The black dress I am performing in is a size 8. It is proof that the Little Chicky Exercise Program is a great success. Follow my instructions in the video, and enjoy your holiday shopping for the dress size you want to wear.


The Black Dress


The most popular item in a closet is the black dress. This garment is a lady’s best friend. Among all the items in our closets, the black dress is our favorite. It is often called “The Little Black Dress”
I designed my own little black dress. It is designed with short black laced sleeves and collar. The back of this dress is shoestring laced from the hips to the top. Each side of the dress is shoestring laced from the hips to the sleeves.

Accepting Responsibility for Your Health is Necessary

Health Information for Nutrition by Ellen J. Barrier

In our daily life being able to accept responsibility for our judgment is absolutely necessary.
We start with our health, and character. It is our decision to choose the food we eat, whether we want to exercise and how we behave toward others.  A healthy attitude reduces stress that can cause body aches and discomfort.
Eating the right food and getting the nutrition needed for your body to function properly and exercising is making a rational judgment  by accepting the responsibility for your health. Having self-control is important.  For Example, a vegetable salad with lots of shredded cheese and dressing staked  on top is an unhealthy salad.
 When  I get a box of chocolates, I will eat 1 or 2 pieces of the candy. I do not eat the whole box of chocolates.
If we allow ourselves to eat without having limits as to how much we should eat, we risk allowing the food to control us. Poor health is the result of poor health habits, caused by poor judgment.
How much we eat and how the food is prepared is important to our health.

Meat that is broiled, baked, or grilled, are preferable to me for good health. Steamed vegetables, fresh fruits, cereal, and nuts are good food sources. In the book, How to Trust God When All Other Resources Have Failed  Chapter 8 NUTRITION God’s Way For Mankind, the reader will find the following information.

Obesity in Childhood

What's Really Causing the Childhood Obesity Epidemic?
                                                                                                                 
There are preventative measures that parents can take to prevent childhood obesity. Three things that can be watched closely are, diet, exercise and scheduling. These things should begin when the child is brought home from the hospital. The one thing to keep in mind is every time the baby cries, he or she is not hungry.

 Overfeeding is not healthy.  Sticking to a schedule is very important in the early years of childhood, because it prevents snacking in between meals in later years that can lead to overeating. Most family’s meals are Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

Preventive measures to take to Prevent Childhood Obesity

Diet:  
Bread
Cereal
Fruit
Milk & Dairy  
Meat (lean meat, poultry, fish)
Vegetables (dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, dry beans, peas, and other nutritionals such as corn and potatoes) Teaching a child to eat in small portions is very important. If they want more after eating the smaller portion, they should be able to have more. Overeating and too many snacks between meals are problems to avoid. A few healthy snacks between meals should be allowed if the child is hungry.

Exercise:
From crib to adult years exercise is very important. When babies are placed on a quilt on the floor, they can move around easier, and have closer contact with the parents and family. This aids in crawling and walking a lot sooner. There are many things parents can do to help their children get the proper exercise they need.

Bicycling
Dancing
Gymnastics
Hockey
Jogging
Jumping rope
Playing balls
Soccer
Swinging
Swimming
Tennis
Tricycle
Walking

Scheduling:

Having a set time for each meal is very important, it prevent snacking before meals that can prevent eating the most important food. If a child is not hungry during the meal because they are filled from snacks, they aren’t going to eat, or if they are encouraged to eat, this will add extra calories and will lead to weight gain.  And it sends a message to the brain to eat, even though the child isn’t hungry, that is carried through teenage years and into adult years.

 How we prepare meals and scheduling are examples we set for our children.  Keeping a cookie jar and candy in the house was never something I have done. It was not a traditional thing in my childhood. As parents, we pass much of our cultural traditions to our children. We have to be careful to determine what is good and what is not. I have shared with you the things that have worked for my family and myself, that prevented obesity in our childhood and in our adult years.

We must use the knowledge God has given us and realize that when we fail to eat the proper foods,  and to take care of our bodies, we put ourselves at risk to endanger our health.  In this book, chapter eight, lists the proper foods to eat, and the kinds of exercises to do to relieve tension,  and calm the nerves,  and to tone the body.  Listed below is an illustration with some of my exercises from this book.

Lyrics

Little Chicky!
Shake your tail feather   (Move your hips left- to- right, and shake your body)
Little Chicky!  (STOP)
Spread your wings little chicky (Spread your arms out. Move your hips left- to- right and shake your body)
Fold your wings little chicky (Place a hand on top of the other and bring the tips of the thumbs together, and shake your body)
Come up little chicky (Take several steps forward, and shake your body)
Move back little chicky (Take several steps backward, and shake your body)
To the left little chicky (Take several steps to your left, and shake your body)
To the right little chicky (Take several steps to your right, and shake your body)


It is best to get into physical fitness, long before a holiday. Some will wait until a few days after the holiday,  to jog or try and lift a few weights. This is not a wise thing to do. It can cause the body to reject the pressure that is being put upon it, and resist. Why?

The heart, muscles, and joints, are not in the proper condition. And neither is the mental status, of such an individual. It's like getting in a vehicle and immediately, placing your foot on the gas pedal and pressing it to the floor. You will lose control and hurt yourself or someone else.

Those who don't take proper care of their health, causes damage to their body, which results in very poor health. When  sickness occurs, those who need family assistance, causes others to spend time caring for them. That often results in sacrificing time from a job or other important activities, in their lives, that they are forced to neglect. And if the sick person, doesn't have enough medical coverage, or none, others will have to pay for their medical expenses.

Eating the proper foods, drinking lots of water, fruit juices, and exercising on a regular basic throughout the year, is the best way to accomplish physical fitness, before the holidays.
