A few posts ago, many of you wanted beginner exercises…
So, as we do here at Renegade Health, I’ve provided a solution!
In today’s episode, I’ve provided a quick 4 exercise workout routine for beginners with just bodyweight exercises. I’ve also included an awesome exercise for the advanced at the end of the show that you could literally spend all week perfecting.
So go ahead take a look… (and be sure to DO the workout today!)
Your question of the day: We want to know where our readers are from… so… where are you from? 
(De donde eres?)

Live Awesome!

PS. The Busy Person’s Fitness Solution book is GREAT for beginners. If you don’t have a copy yet, I strongly recommend you get one. It could be the best $19.95 you spend this weekend. (And, yes, I’m biased, I wrote the thing, but we’ve heard this from the people who’ve read it as well!)
Here’s one testimony:
“I purchased and your book and have read and re read the first 55 pages… honestly, it is fantastic. You know the part where you write “look in the bathroom mirror”. Well, I did last night (fortunately, or unfortunately!, our bathroom is literally all mirrors. It’s what prompted me to download the book, after eyeballing it for several months.
Your observations and advice are REAL… you do hit home with them. I especially enjoyed the section where you talk about the negative talk we do…”you’re stupid”, “why can’t you commit?” And, the advice you give…let those feelings come out, but move on and forward. I purchased the audio version, too, so I can listen to the encouragement over and over.
Hope all is well. Thank you!”

I’m in the lovely Louisville, KY.
Hey, I was wondering what your thoughts are about the 80/10/10 diet proposed by Dr. Douglas Graham. I recognize that you eat a lot of grains, so I know you obviously do not follow it. But what do you think of it? Is it a safe way of eating?

Hi, Kevin…..I’m from Fort Smith, Arkansas. Enjoy your show always….especially the food preparation on Wednesday and Fitness Friday. Thank you for putting your camcorder on a tripod so you don’t have to stoop over to see into it. Somehow it made me feel claustrophobic. Oh….I also enjoyed your book review VERY MUCH! Hope to see more of those. It’s interesting to see your show evolve into better and better. And give your beautiful wife Annmarie much credit. Worth watching the show just to see her beautiful big brown eyes! Thanks!

From Lewisville, Tx (Dallas suburbia). Your videos help educate my 11 yr old daughter on health topics & fun excercises to try. She’s not interested in reading any of my nutrition/raw books yet. I hope her curiosity will spark an interest for nutrition knowledge. She’ll be eating a lot more raw food soon. I’m heading off to CA in June for raw food instructor training in Calif.

You DO ROCK! I am from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Love your shows. You have helped me change the way I look at exercise. I have all the fancy DVD programs that are way too hard for me sometimes. I burnt out really badly in September by using them and going too hard. I ended up dreading having to exercise. Now I am kinder to myself and do exercise throughout the day instead. I walk anywhere from 45-60 minutes per day. (stress release) and I have my exercise bands at work.(use them on my breaks). I hang out on my living room floor and do weight bearing exercises. I am not as stressed for thinking that I have failed because I can’t do the other exercise programs. Thanks to you and AnnMarie for your inspiration and all the health/exercise tips.

Hi Kevin
I can see that your movies would be excellent for those new to exploring health. Although my journey started quite a while ago, I now have your raw summit interviews which opened up my world alot, to the true requirements for healing and optimal living. Having this information available via the internet is a god send.
I think that your intention and enthusiasm is great
I aim to become a living testament for the potential of health and energy which our bodies are capable of. I believe that it will take time, but that we currently have no real concepts of its messure. I also think that it is the only way to actually bring this reality to the public. Thank you for adding your strength to the awakening. I come from Auckland New Zealand.
