To Chow On:
Saturday
– The Gift of ProphecyNumbers 11:29 (NKJV)
Then Moses said to him, “Are you zealous for my sake? Oh, that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”
Thought
For The Day:
Being
prophetic without love is insensitivity; loving without being prophetic is
ineffective.
Today
is Spa Saturday, be good to yourself and enjoy your weekend!!
Have A Happy
Spa Day with HHWN!! J
Exercises
For Balance For Seniors And The Elderly
Exercises
for balance for seniors and the elderly are vital as we age. Age-related
declines in our balance are in part due to muscle and joint range of motion loss,
slower reflexes, reduced visual sensitivity, and cognitive changes. Below I have made a great balance video that is fun and easy to do. 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.
Exercises like the eye tracking exercise below are important measures we can take to help offset these declines.
Dizziness can affect over half of people over 75. Working on head movements using the exercises below will help support your ability to look around the room when going about your day. If you are unable to perform this exercise without getting dizzy, then stop.
Your doctor can tell you more about your dizziness. If you suspect a more serious problem like vertigo, orthostatic hypotension or drug interactions, definitely check in with your doctor.
When trying the exercises for balance below, hold on to a chair at first using your non-dominant hand. Use your dominant hand to perform the movements. Once you feel more secure, then try letting go of your hand briefly, then for longer periods. You'll get it sooner or later!
If you get dizzy when performing these exercises for balance for seniors and the elderly, make sure you sit down, get a drink of water, and try to look straight ahead at eye level until you start feeling better.
Navy
Seal Workout
Adopt
a Full-body workout Method
Seals
need to possess not only impressive amounts of agility and stamina, but
masterful command of the body. They need to be light on their feet and to have
conquered their own weight and center of gravity. Thousands of pushups,
sit-ups, and pull ups is great, especially with perfect form and full range of
motion, but since most people in the gym aren’t preparing to visit warzones,
get creative and incorporate two other exercises into each.
For
example grab some exercise ingredients like burpees, box jumps, dumbbell rows,
and dumbbell presses and swirl them together in a fitness cauldron. All of
those as one is a pretty intense full-body workout; now add five pushups into
each rep. In terms of building functional strength and muscle endurance 20 of
those would feel like 500 pushups, but to nearly every muscle group in the
body.

Spice up dinner with veggie fajitas and one-and-a-half cups of spinach salad with nonfat dressing.
