To Chew On:
Tuesday
– It’s a Pleasure!!
Philippians
2:12-15 (NKJV)
Therefore,
my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much
more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it
is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do all
things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and
harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse
generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…
Thought

Arthritis
Exercise Can Be Safe For Seniors and the Elderly
Arthritis
exercise precautions
• Gently
begin range of motion exercises that take your arms and legs through their full
range daily.
• Don't trade a daily activity like gardening for
exercise. It won't take you through your full range of motion.
•This
is especially important in your hips and knees. They should fully bend and
straighten with focused exercise.
• Remember
if it is painful to take your arm all the way over your head, just move in your
"pain free range of motion".
• If
you have pain for more than one hour after exercise, you probably went a little
too hard. Cut back on the weight, time or repetitions next time you exercise.
• Short
exercise bouts are better tolerated than longer ones. Try breaking up your
exercise into 15 minute sessions. Don't overwork your joints.
• Stretching
exercise for arthritis can be safely
performed everyday, but strengthening exercises should be limited to 3 days a
week.
Run
the World On Your Treadmill and Visualize It!
To complement
the Google Maps features and avoid the hassle of having a laptop or Smartphone
placed on your console; Icon Fitness introduced a series of their higher end
treadmill with a built-in Android browser.
Not only can you connect with the Internet as you work out. You can also access all the features of iFit
Live, including the Google Maps interface.
One
last note, I mentioned that iFit Live also allows you to create customized
workout programs. Let me elaborate. When you create you iFit Live account it asks
you what you fitness goals are. For
example, let’s say your goal is to lose 10 lbs. in two months. Based on your goals, you can create workout
routines that are designed by fitness trainers, including Jillian Michaels. The
workouts are progressive in nature and include audio coaching to further
stimulate you. The data from your workout is uploaded from your treadmill to
your iFit Live account, so you can monitor your progress. For many tracking your results encourages
people to attain their goals.
A
Healthy Menu For
Day
Two
Have
two poached eggs on a whole-wheat English muffin with two slices of turkey
bacon and a whole orange for breakfast. For lunch, try a sandwich made with two
slices of whole grain bread, 2 oz. of all-natural ham, a slice of Swiss cheese,
sliced tomatoes and shredded lettuce. Have a plum for dessert. Dinner could be
a cup of minestrone soup with a large salad made with 3 cups of romaine
lettuce, 1/2 cup chickpeas, 1/4 cup of feta cheese and 1 tsp. of olive oil
mixed with 2 tsp. of red wine vinegar. At snack times, have a low-fat string
cheese with the other half of the kiwi and a glass of skim milk with one sheet
of graham crackers.
