with Bryant and Anita Hewitt

Food To Chew On:
Thursday – The Talk and The Walk
Amos 3:3 (NKJV)
 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
Thought For The Day:
“When we walk with the Lord, in the light of His word, what a glory He sheds on our way. While we do His good well, He abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey.”
-Daniel B. Towner
Don’t keep your personal best tucked away, let your “Talent” shine forth In the Matchless Name of Jesus’.
Back Pain Symptoms Exercises For Seniors And The Elderly
Cat and Camel
Purpose of this exercise:
•To stretch and extend the lower back and mid back muscles. It is also a great exercise for loosening up the pelvic area and learning the pelvic tilt.
 How to do it:
Step 1
•Begin by getting on your hands and knees on your bed or the floor only if you can safely get back up.
•Keep your back in a neutral position.
 Step 2
 •Round your back up and bring your head down to make the cat arching his back.
•Then reverse by allowing your back to relax forming the valley between the camels two humps.
•Return to starting position and repeat 10 times.
 Breathing:
•Exhale during the upward movement phase.
•Inhale during the downward movement phase.
 Tips:
•Keep breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
•Tighten your tummy muscles and place your pelvis in a neutral position to start.
•If your wrists are painful, lower yourself onto your elbows.
•Use gardening pads if kneeling on the floor.
Take it up a notch:
•Keeping elbows straight, lift your back even higher by moving from the shoulders only. Then bring your shoulder blades together when lowering your back.
Don’t Forget the Mantra
Ultimately though, keep in mind that sculpted abdominal muscles are almost entirely a product of food intake, not what one does or doesn’t do in the gym. Modern fitness has set that standard so people will continue to shell out untold billions on an industry that’s failed them. As soon as a person equates abs to food and cardiovascular health to exercise they are on the quickest path to where X marks the spot. Happy hunting!
A Healthy Menu For
Thursday - Day Four
Stir together 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of sliced grapes and have with a slice of whole-grain bread topped with 1 tbsp. of peanut butter. For lunch, make a sandwich with 1/2 cup roasted chicken, 1 oz. part skim mozzarella cheese and a slice of avocado on two slices of rye bread. At dinner, enjoy a homemade chef salad made with 2 oz. of natural ham, two chopped egg whites, romaine lettuce, chopped tomatoes and two chopped artichoke hearts canned in water.
