BAFF Flow

Written by Monifa Maat

wake up in the mornin no more sleepin in bed

movin and shakin the negatives out of my head

twistin and turnin my body

to my souls delight

18 steps is the armor that I use to fight

age, height, big or slender

it dont matter your gender

daily practice in the AM

youll be quite the contender

all the battles of the world

try to make you frown

but the secret to your rise

is how ya lay it down

affirmations, meditation

as I raise my limbs

I dont swim, it dont matter

cause Ill still get trim

chorus

tapin-to your inner glow with the fitness flow

no telling, how-far you go when you take it slow

from head to toe, reap, what you sow

the no excuses way to make your blessings grow

6 positions, repetitions,

18 types of stretch

ease the tension for ascension

so im not upset

believe me when i tell you

say it loud in bed

true health and fitness is the root that stems

inside your head

seek the Kingdome first

then the rest you add

cause Bed Aerobics Fitness Flow

is not your average fad.

surpass time and space

its your sacred place

no need to fuss or dress

theres no one to impress

conditions mind, body spirit

youll surpass all the limits

mo can flow how she spit it?

eat and breathe every minute

i remembered my spirit

with the fire i lit it

twice a day i kamit it

soon the whole world will feel it

chorus: 2x

tap into your inner glo with the fitness flow

no telling how far you go when you take it slow

from head to toe, reap what you sow

the no excuses way to make your blessings grow

FOREWORD

In my 25 plus years in the fitness industry, Ive seen many fitness concepts and techniques come and go, along with the individuals touting them. I am however, very pleased to bestow accolades on a new fitness approach that is truly innovative and virtually limitless in its variety of applications. I am speaking of none other than Bed Aerobics Fitness Flow and its creator Monifa Maat. Bed Aerobics tackles head on the two major obstacles to starting and maintaining an exercise program: time and space. Monifa has developed an innovative exercise routine that addresses both obstacles and which can help build strength, muscle tone and improve flexibility right on the familiar (and convenient) surface of your own bed! Now there really are no excuses not to exercise because any time of the day or night, your bed becomes your fitness center.

Besides physical development, exercise has the ability to energize the body, focus the mind and lift the spirit. Ms. Maat has masterfully intertwined a spiritual element into the Bed Aerobic Fitness Flow which enhances the connection between body, mind, and spirit in a challenging, yet gratifying manner for the practitioner.

In personally trying out some of the exercises, I have found that Bed Aerobics contributes towards a stronger, more flexible body which is beneficial for gaining and maintaining good health.

I highly recommend Monifa Maats Bed Aerobics Fitness Flow for anyone seeking an exercise program that is uniquely practical and convenient in its ability to deliver the goods, without a gym membership, expensive equipment or complicated movementsall you need is you, a bed and an open mind and youre on your way!

all muscles and organs grow in size, strength, and elasticity if properly exercised; and as surely will they lose those properties if they are not exercised It is astonishing the number of exercises that are possible while lying comfortably in bed. Every muscle of the body can be called into action, until a healthy glow results from head to foot from the stimulated circulation, and you realize the full joy of living.

Preface

Most people would not associate exercise with lying in bed. Yet contained in this book is a unique fitness routine designed to be practiced from the comfort, convenience and privacy of your very own bed.

Imagine, a fitness routine that helps to strengthen, stretch and re-energize your body, mind and spirit from the convenience and comfort of your bed. Imagine still, that same fitness routine when completed at night helps you to sleep better and awaken feeling energized and ready for more exercise before your feet even touch the floor!

Contained in this book is a unique fitness routine rooted in the idea that personal fitness is a journey not a destination. In other words one should strive to live a healthful lifestyle. But what exactly does live a healthful lifestyle mean? Depending on whose lifestyle it is, it could mean something slightly different for each person. I view a healthful lifestyle as a condition where nutrition and fitness habits interact harmoniously on a daily basis to sustain strength, energy and overall wellness.
