Stallion habit 92 - Learn to dance

Watching Brooke Burke win dancing with the stars was a great thing.

This program has made dancing incredible popular right now.

Also, Wii fit offers a dance program that can get you in shape quickly. It helps you with foot work and timing.

When I was in college, I took a social dance class. I learned how to do several dances. The one that I remember doing was the country swing.

Although country music isn't my first choice, I actually met my wife at a country dance. Because I had taken the class and knew how to do the country swing, I was able to develop a relationship with her that led to marriage.

In Idaho, there are lots of places you can dance if you would like to buy a home and move to the Idaho Falls area.

I look forward to helping you with all your real estate needs.

Thanks Burke Bennett

Stallion habit 91- Learn to dutch oven cook

One of the great things to do in SE Idaho is dutch oven cook.

There are quite a few classes offered locally how to do this skill.

You can cook with charcoals, a fire, or propane.

I have a leg less dutch oven that we occasionally just use the oven.

Nothing is better than dutch oven chicken, potatoes with cheese, and peach cobbler.

It takes a little while longer to cook it, but it sure is worth it.

Recently our scout group had a dutch oven cook off. Everything turned out great and the kids ate everything until it was gone.

So if you are going to move to the Idaho Falls Idaho Real Estate market, dutch oven cooking is a great skill to have since there are a thousand places to camp.

I look forward to working with you.

Thanks Burke Bennett

Stallion habit 90 - Keep your meals under 400 calories

One of the key tips in the abs diet is to keep your meals under 400 calories. That really makes sense if you are trying to eat 6 meals a day at 400 calories a pop.

I have read where your body can really only have 400 calories available without turning in extra into fat.

I guess the theory is that if you don't have more than 400 calories in any one meal that you won't store fat.

So you kind of keep your body not stuffed, but have food in you to keep you from being hungry. Your body should burn off what you have eaten.

Of course choice of foods are important also. The Europeans eat whatever they want, but most of them just try a taste of this or that.

We here in America have the super size option with every meal and it really shows. There are over weight people every where.

I like to eat a big meal every now and then, but for the most part, your mini meals should be under 400 calories.

Stallion habit 89 -Stand for something good

One of the better books I have read talks about 10 virtues that would change our families, homes, and nation if we would just do them.

This book is written for everyone and wasn't necessarily addressing a singular religion or belief system.

The 10 virtues that Gordan B. Hinckley writes on are love, honesty, morality, civility, learning, forgiveness and mercy, thrift, gratitude, optimism, and faith.

I think all human beings experience all of these emotions and would be better off if they would magnify them. This is a good book to order no matter what you believe in.

Thanks,

Burke Bennett

Stallion habit 88 - Get involved with the youth in your community

I am involved in coaching Freshman Basketball this year at Bonneville High School.

My oldest kid is that age, and so it is easy for me to get involved.

We are winning some games, and I teach them what I know about basketball.

I also am involved in scouting and currently have 3 kids participating.

My oldest son is an Eagle Scout, and my other two kids aren't too far behind him. I take a group of youth to scout camp every year at Island park.

I have been trying to help as many of the kids I work with to be the best they can be. I have learned that you can do your best, but if the kids progress in scouting, it really depends on them.

I think everyone can be a positive influence on the youth in their community.

Stallion habit 87 - Buy a WII

Usually I would say video games are generally a waste of time, but I really like the Wii because it makes my family active.

It is a great way to exercise and interact with your kids.

It is fun enough, you can make them do their chores before they hop on the Wii.

Idaho winters are cold, and it is hard to stay active sometimes. I highly recommend you get a Wii for your home and stay active when it is cold.

My brother has lost a ton of weight playing Wii every day. His wife is also on a program and is starting to lose some weight.

Here's to staying healthy and playing with your kids.

Thanks Burke Bennett
