Finding Your True Self
Matthew
16:26 (NKJV)
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the
whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for
his soul?
Thought
For The Day:
We
never know who we really are until we give ourselves to Christ. Losing
ourselves, we find ourselves for the first time.
Moneybags
Monday, well is doesn’t take a lot of money for eat right and exercise… matter
of fact it will take less money than you think. If we start cooking our foods
and less of fast foods than you will see the difference and you will feel
better as well…. Little cuts in our way of living and you will see major
results!!!

Balance
Exercises For Elderly And Seniors
Balance
exercises for seniors and the elderly can greatly improve the risk of falling
at home. These exercises should focus on building up the strength and endurance
of especially your lower body including your ankles and hips.
All you need is a chair, comfortable loose fitting
clothing, and a pair of smooth bottom
shoes to wear so you won't catch your feet. Read on then give it a try.
Working
on your balance can be fun and playful. Just see a show by a traveling circus
act and you will see just how much we can improve our balance.
Remember that to have good balance we must
keep our center of gravity over our base of support which is usually our
ankles.
When we are walking we are working on and
improving our dynamic balance or "moving" balance. You can select a moving balance exercise
below to work on this skill.
When we are still, say standing on one leg, we
are working on improving our static or "standing" balance.
Do
It Yourself Exercise Programs
The
first thing to know is that any good functional exercise program includes a
mixture of just 7 key movements.
1.
Squat
2. Lunge
3. Bend
4. Twist
5. Push
6. Pull
7. Gait (walk/run)
Lunge
–
Great for your butt (even more than squats!), legs, calves, abs
Resistance: as
above
A
step-and-drop movement. Start with feet together and take a
large step forward. Lift your back heel, and keep your back straight as you
lower your weight toward the floor. Stop just before your back knee hits the
floor. Keep your torso up, and your eye gaze forward. In order to protect your
knees, maintain your weight through the heel of your forward foot rather than
your toe. Push yourself back to the start position, and repeat on the other
leg. This is one rep.
