Food To Chew On:
Saturday – Breaking The Worry Habit
Luke 10:41 (NKJV)

And Jesus[a] answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.

Thought For The Day:
Only one thing will break the worry habit: time with the living Lord and complete trust that He is able to work things out better than we ever can imagined.

 
Happy Singing Saturday, when we wake up and see another day and we can move our limbs we have a lot to be thankful for!!! So sing your song and enjoy your weekend, most of all don’t forget to be good to yourselves…..
 Happy Mother’s Day!!! With HHWN J

 
Elderly And Senior Endurance Exercises Improve Your Heart Health
The main topics of this section are:
•Benefits: Discover why endurance training is good for you.
•How often: Learn when and how to train your endurance.
•How to start walking:  Learn how walk correctly at home.
•Tips for your feet: What you should and should not do.
•Training zone:  What is a training zone and why you should know yours.

The ways this section will help you improve include:

•Strength: Create a stronger torso and legs to increase you stability.
•Safety:  Increase your ability to get up, walk and exercise.
•Mobility: Achieve a lasting ability to get around more easily
•Activities: Enjoy those tennis lessons or bike riding again
•Social: Begin to see and enjoy your friends and family

The benefits of Elderly endurance training in a senior exercise program are increased endurance, energy level, increased fat metabolism, and prevention of heart disease. 
This works best if you work out at least three times a week spaced out with a 48 hour rest in between.
It is possible to improve with a two day a week workout but we prefer at least three days.
Two days a week is not likely to help you lose weight but  really any amount of exercise is better than no exercise at all.

MOVE…Shake Up Your Workout Routine
Thought compilation of the movement experience:   Release, jump, run, laugh, sweat, enjoy, participate, try, experience something new.

•Play, let go, interpret, trust, bond, be in the moment.
•Move, flow, dance, unite, internalize, externalize some power.
•Question, doubt, reject, interact with others, embrace new motion.
•Experiment, try new things, enjoy the energy.
•It’s okay to find our own dance interpretation and move to our own rhythms.
•Music is a powerful motivator of both quiet and intense movement.
•Move, just move.

My personal take away is to remind myself of the value of different forms of motion. For me dancing has always been joyful.  Why haven’t I been challenging how I work out and play?   It’s so good to break free from traditional exercise methods every now and again.  The energy is different.  There is power in movement when we allow ourselves the freedom to play with it.  These classes are an excellent avenue for team building, small groups, groups of friends, and even family groups!   Google what’s available in your corner of the fitness world ( Try: powerstrike.com, poundfit.com, surfsetfitness.com, gofigurestudios.com). Find out where you can shake up your fitness routine.   There are so many new fitness techniques breaking the norm.  Try a new class.   Find a wave.  Move.
