What is Memorcise? Having enjoyed exercise all of my life, I developed Memorcise as a compilation of exercises, an organized set of movements which I have retained over a long period of time, since about 1986 (when I was able to copyright some ideas). The name itself was my effort in combining the words: memory and exercise. Mindful thoughts are used (in the titles of each memorcise) to encourage focusing while increasing the capacity to retain. In coordination with physical activity this element of time is spent on improving muscle tone as well as memory. Remembering how to do each memorcise is all part of learning this regime. This compilation of memorcises (memorcies, as plural) is, for the most part, floor exercise. They are done moving slowly and breathing slowly. Exhaling on the effort is a good rule of thumb. More important, though, is to keep breathing-in your own comfort zone. After the muscles are "warmed up," some low to intermediate and advanced 'memorcise aerobics' are addressed during repetitions. Basically, however, your body rarely leaves the floor. Although it is not the upbeat aerobic class you may find at your local gym, Memorcise is for all ages. However, and like most recommendations for new routines, consulting with your medical professional(s) is always a good idea prior to beginning. Also, in this publication, I have provided my KNOWING THE MOVES photograph collection which is a visual aid for correct application of these memorcies. This should be helpful for beginners (and others) to watch; it can provide answers to questions you might have after reading the "how to" for each memorcise. So, instead of signing up for the next (out-of-home) classroom exercise, you can simply apply these techniques in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Signing up for an out-of-home, 12-week class might cost anywhere from $150.00 to well over $250.00. With Memorcise, you will have a copy of the class with you. It includes over 25 (original) 'warming up' memorcies, with over 15 aerobic memorcies. It is also great for travelers; taking it with them wherever they go is easy and convenient. It may take up to 12 weeks to learn the routine well! Memorcise hopes to offer you a beneficial body and mind regime. In the modern-day world, our schedules are complex. We feed the cat, rush out the door to work, take the kids to soccer practice, and before you know it are in bed without any attention being given to our health. We must become more flexible and so must our bodies. Memorcise allows for relating movements to planned thoughts. Building endurance and focus, you will feel challenged, and can set your own goals. Whether it is curbing your appetite, or making more time in your day to breathe slowly, we all need healing as part of our daily lives. Memorcise is a great alternative to improving your health as well as your attitude. It can be practiced in the comfort of your home. All you need is some floor space and a comfortable environment!
