To Chew On:
Wednesday
– Praying Without Ceasing
1
Thessalonians 5:17(NKJV)
Pray without ceasing….
Thought
For The Day:
Like
breathing, prayer continues in every waking and sleeping moment.
It’s
mid-week already!!! On this Wasting-Time Wednesday, let’s not wait another
moment… we really need to be proactive in our health. Get yearly check-ups and
if you are on med Please take them as ordered. Time is running out for “I
Will Start Eating and Exercising Tomorrow” hmm does that sound like you…I know
for a long time that really was my statement.. until my family members start
dying prematurely, we have longevity in my family. Then it was a wake-up call
for me to start eating and exercising right for myself….If I can lose 85 LBS +. I know anyone can. So stop wasting
time and “Just Do It” Your Body Will Thank You!! J
Leg
Muscle Weakness Exercise
Knee
Marching
Purpose
of this exercise
This
exercise will strengthen your ankles and hips.
It will
also improve your dynamic or "moving" balance.
How
to do it:
Step
1
Stand with
arms at sides, feet shoulder width apart.
Step
2
Raise one
knee up as high as comfortable.
Lower, then
raise the other knee.
Repeat 20
times.
Breathing:
Breathe
normally, inhale through the nose and exhale out the mouth.
Tips:
Use a chair
to hold on to while standing. Hold on with your finger, one hand or two hands.
Don't close
your eyes or hold your breath.
Raise your
arms out to the sides if you need more balance.
Take
it up a notch:
Lift chest
and look straight ahead to make standing more challenging.
Try adding
a one pound ankle weight to one ankle.
You did it!
Practice makes..... you guessed it...permanent!. Don't practice sitting in a
chair unless you really want to be good at sitting in a chair. Good luck!
Get
Fit with Full-body workouts!
Form
Trumps Weight
Because
these workouts are for lowering body fat percentage, there’s no call for heavy,
or even moderate weights. The body is calling on and employing so many muscles
at once it really doesn’t matter. The demand is going to burn tons of calories
and protect the lean mass from breaking down.
However,
make sure that a complex full-body workout is eased into. There’s no reason to
rush into insane full-body circuits without getting the used to these types of
situations. Serious injuries can occur if a highly untrained body attempts
intricate movements without having a chance to adapt. Concentrate on form
first, then worry about weight, but keep it light because in the end form rids
the body of far more fat than weight alone.
A
Healthy Menu For
WEDNESDAY
Whole grain
foods help people feel full longer, says the American Academy of Family
Physicians. They recommend foods with three or more grams of fiber per serving.
One cup cooked oatmeal with 2 tbsp. of raisins and 1 cup skim milk is a high
fiber, whole grain breakfast. A whole grain lunch includes 2 Ryvita crackers
with 2 tbsp. of peanut butter and 2 cups of cantaloupe. A light yogurt with 1/4
cup unsweetened whole grain cereal is a high protein, fiber-containing
afternoon snack. For dinner dieters may enjoy 3 oz. of broiled chicken with 1/2
cup cooked quinoa, 10 asparagus spears and a tossed salad with low-fat salad
dressing. Six cups of air-popped popcorn are a great way to the end the day.
