Food To
Chew On:
Thursday
– The Talk and The Walk
Amos
3:3 (NKJV)
Can two walk
together, unless they are agreed?
Thought
For The Day:
“When we walk with the Lord, in the light of His word, what
a glory He sheds on our way. While we do His good well, He abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.”
-Daniel B. Towner
Don’t keep your personal best tucked away, let your “Talent”
shine forth In the Matchless Name of Jesus’.
Back
Pain Symptoms Exercises For Seniors And The Elderly
Cat
and Camel
Purpose
of this exercise:
•To stretch and extend the lower back and mid back
muscles. It is also a great exercise for loosening up the pelvic area and
learning the pelvic tilt.
How to do it:
Step 1
•Begin by getting on your hands and knees on your bed or
the floor only if you can safely get back up.
•Keep your back in a neutral position.
Step 2
•Round your back
up and bring your head down to make the cat arching his back.
•Then reverse by allowing your back to relax forming the
valley between the camels two humps.
•Return to starting position and repeat 10 times.
Breathing:
•Exhale during the upward movement phase.
•Inhale during the downward movement phase.
Tips:
•Keep breathing in through your nose and out through your
mouth.
•Tighten your tummy muscles and place your pelvis in a
neutral position to start.
•If your wrists are painful, lower yourself onto your
elbows.
•Use gardening pads if kneeling on the floor.
Take
it up a notch:
•Keeping elbows straight, lift your back even higher by
moving from the shoulders only. Then bring your shoulder blades together when
lowering your back.
Don’t
Forget the Mantra
Ultimately though, keep in mind that sculpted abdominal
muscles are almost entirely a product of food intake, not what one does or
doesn’t do in the gym. Modern fitness has set that standard so people will
continue to shell out untold billions on an industry that’s failed them. As
soon as a person equates abs to food and cardiovascular health to exercise they
are on the quickest path to where X marks the spot. Happy hunting!
