YES, I LOVE EXERCISING IN THE SHOWER!!
"Who says sitting cross-leggged on the floor and saying OOHHHHHHMMMMMMM is the only way to reach an awesome meditative headspace?"
By the time I head out in the morning, I will have washed, worked-out and had a healthy dollop of self-expression. My head is already "tuned" into the day ahead, and I promise, it makes a huge difference to your self-esteem and feelings of accomplishment.
Exercising in the shower has huge value and benefits, and I'm going to show you how many there are. It's addictive, so consider yourself warned, when I've missed a session, my day just doesn't feel right. It becomes a way-of-life, and what better than to create something into your day that is a lifestyle and not just a passing fad.
Acknowledge yourself.... right now.... for making the choice to start ShowerPower.... Taking a shower will never be the same again, and you will be thinking of me at least once a day ;-)

BASICS FIRST: What on earth is a Loofah.....
.... and how is it Beneficial?
A loofah (luffa) is a scrunched-up, dry and visually & tactile-daunting little wad of "torture" that is vital to your shower-routine.Let's see, for healthy glowing skin, old (dead) skin cells need to be removed and this is where our friend the loofah is invaluable. There are lovely exfoliating skin products available in the marketplace, through distributors and on e-Bay, which can be used together with the loofah, leaving your skin looking great, healthy and youthful.
Ever heard of lymph nodes? Using the loofah in circular motions over the skin helps to improve blood circulation, and ALSO encourages the lymphatic system to drain. Very important to remember while loofah-ing, rub the loofah from your hands and feet, up your arms and legs into the direction of your chest area, where your heart is.
Stumble It! Push-up Option 1: READY, STEADY, GO!!!
Want to do push-ups in the Shower....????
Face the corner of the shower, place your arms at right angles, shoulder-height up against each wall. Press your hips forward into the corner, until you feel a nice stretch in your chest and back. Hold for 20 seconds (counts) and move your arms 10cm up against the wall, twice more. Remember to breathe deeply during total duration.This is great for extending your spine, helping to elongate your spinal muscles, which shorten while you sleep.
Push-up Option 2
Oh, give me a lower-back stretch.
Face the shower full-on, straighten your arms leaning against the wall with your hands in line with your shoulders. By bending your knees a little, feel your hips dip forwards until your back arches nicely. Hold for 20 seconds.This movement is great to assist your spinal disks to decompress. Remember to breathe deeply for total duration.
Push-up Option 3
Stretch those hams....!
Facing the wall, and staying up, take half a step back with your right foot. Keep your feet flat on the floor and stretch your right calf and ham by leaning forward. Bend your elbows until you can't move forward anymore. Hold for 20 seconds. Switch legs and repeat. Remember to breathe deeply for total duration.This movement, done daily, can prevent lower back pain by stretching your calves and hamstrings in this practice.
Loads more ShowerPower Options....
"How much more can there be", you're probably thinking.
- Arm Lifts- Leg Lifts
- Remember the old "I must, I must, increase my bust!" Well, what are you waiting for? Gravity is doing no-one any favours here!?
- Use weights as an option to increase resistance.
- "Tighten that butt" is a classic...! You feel this one for days and it lifts your posterior nicely. It's the PERFECT butt stretch! I'm not talking about old-fashioned butt clench here. No no, this exercise is the one I do when I'm in a hurry and then pick this one to do.
- Touch your toes... but don't injure yourself!
- Waistline curles
- and more.... watch this space!

For sure! It's the time I can be disturbed the least (even less than when I go to the loo!) we have an open-door lifestyle so almost anything goes. But as a mom I've found that when I'm in the shower, it's definately me-time, and the famglamory leaves me to it.

The Healing Power of Water Therapy in our Daily Shower Rituals
Messages from Water, written by Dr Emoto, is fascinating work, whereby he developed a technique of photography, of newly formed frozen water crystals.Messages from Water
Dr Emoto's book illustrates some of the following:
Chapter 1:
The story of water in daily life
Tap water in Japan
Tap water overseas
Water in the natural world
Spring Water
Rivers, lakes and marshes
Glaciers
Rain water
Chapter 2:
A Story of ever-changing water
Playing music to water
Showing letters to water
Showing a person's name to water
Chapter 3:
The world of water spreads afar
Transcript Technology that changes water artificially
The micro-clustered water of Dr. Lee. H. Lorenzen
Water changed by people's consciousness
Water and Soul
Water came from Space?
If water can take on the "thoughts" of words, music, sounds and the environment (etc), how much more so are our bodies, which is made up mostly of water, susceptible (and fashioned) by our thoughts, beliefs, intentions, and fear of imprisonment or love of freedom, fights for survival or embracing of freedom, and willingness (or not) to create and live out our endless possibilities in this ether?
The next time you take a shower, imagine, powerfully imagine that the water pouring out over you, cleansing you, embracing you, is pure love. And it will be so. There is so much around us that the eye cannot see and our hearts not conceive. Let water be your teacher.

True Power is Loving Yourself
ShowerPower is a Catalyst....and not your only source of exercise. It's not a cardio work-out. By taking this basic practice into the shower, you experience benefits from flexibility of movement, body stamina, experiencing your body and mind becoming one in blissful peacefulness. By starting this you are making a deep inner connection with yourself saying: "I love ME. I choose to spend quality time nurturing myself. I'm taking back my Power, doing something that is a sacred ritual, Just For Me."
Your ShowerPower Guestbook... everyone welcome here.
If you think you can or can't, either way you're probably right.
How about it.... get started, and thereafter get back to me with your comment.. Remember to breathe and have fun throughout your ShowerPower session.
You are welcome to share with me how doing stretches a few mornings in a row makes you feel.
I"it's easier DONE than said" ..... DECLARE 2009 your year of taking back your Power, and MAKE things happen! Be the cause in the matter of your life. Stop Making Excuses and Start Being Free. .....You get to say! Tough Love :-)

Hi Lisa, I love a good shower and I do my shower stretches every morning for a few moments. It does help. I learned the importance of stretching by watching my cats do it pointedly each time they wake up. ~Music Resource~
