Maybe not, but it looks like it can help your brain work more efficiently. Researchers looked at the brain waves of two groups of elderly people, one athletic, the other sedentary. They found that the brain waves of the athletic group more closely resembled those of younger people. This study strongly suggests that exercise can help you maintain your mental sharpness as you age. So who do you know who wants to maintain their mental edge as they age? My unique coaching system will provide you with an exercise program to help you achieve a fit body as well as a fit mind.

First hand experience shows me that older adults who work out make better drivers because their minds are sharper. The reflexes of an 80 year old exerciser as opposed to a non-exerciser/sedentary adult are more than 20 times faster. Being able to respond to traffic emergencies in a timely manner could mean the difference between a fender-bender and a fatal accident.

Exercise is the most widely prescribed “pill” today. Exercise, when done properly, incorporates the body, mind and spirit.

Can you be athletic at any age? You betcha. The old school of thought was that once you lost it (i.e. strength, flexibility, stamina, and mental clarity) you could not get it back. I’m here to tell you that that way of thinking is outdated. Whatever the age, whatever the circumstance, with consistency and perseverance, you can regain what ever physical characteristics you thought were lost. If your body is exercised and becomes conditioned, it links right to the brain and other motor skills. My unique coaching program can give you the motivation and support that you need to regain control of your body.

Aging can be a wonderful trip. To age with grace and dignity you need to be pro-active in your wellness regime. If you aren’t taking care of your body by fueling it with the proper food, hydrating it with the right amounts of water, and exercising properly, you can’t expect it to support you in your later years.

You can equate your body to an automobile. Would you wait until you run out of gas to refuel? Would you wait until the engine overheated to check to see if your radiator was full? Would you wait until the engine seized up before you changed the oil? Think about it!

Take classes in nutrition; learn about what the proper amounts of water you need for your individual make-up; hire someone to help you set up an exercise program that is designed for your body and its needs. Then, adopt this knowledge as a lifestyle and live a quality life.

I’ve mentioned taking classes, learning, and exercising. I’d like to interject that as you embark on your wellness journey that you do your homework and research the information that you are planning to adopt.

A very important tip is that no matter who or what source you decide to listen to, follow that one concept. Don’t try to pull in information from this person or that magazine or that newspaper article…it’ll drive you nuts. Find one person or source and stick to it.

Don’t try to pull from several different resources because you will find that there will be lots of conflicting information. If you try to listen to every suggestion and take each person’s advice it will get you so confused and overwhelmed that you will probably scrap the whole lifestyle change idea. You might need to have one source for nutrition counseling and one for fitness training, but nonetheless, listen to just one person for each segment of your voyage.

Learn to trust your instincts, your body and your coach.

An active lifestyle is so much more fun and rewarding than a sedentary one. Our bodies were designed to move. Even if you haven’t been active for a long time and you have no major health issues, with dedication, perseverance, and consistency you too can improve your life.

Don’t forget to find time for rest and recuperation. Your muscles need to rest so that they can rebuild and be stronger for your next workout. Wait at least 48 hours between full body strength workouts.

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to training and exercise, sometimes I used to be too impatient to do a stretching routine before I went for a run - after all, I felt good and I only had so much time to train and I didn’t want to waste it by stretching before the muscles are warmed up.

As you get a little older and get a few injuries, however, you start to ‘listen’ to your body a little better and find yourself starting to stretch more and more before you train.

But does stretching before a run help prevent injury?

A 1996 study by a team of South African scientists actually suggest 15 minutes of stretching before competition, with emphasis on the problem area.

Now while many people may stretch before competition, most wouldn’t stretch for 15 minutes.

I’d have to qualify this by saying that you should do this once the muscles are warming up or as part of a warm-up routine. Still, 15 minutes is a lot of time.

In contrast, in one of the only randomised control studies, which was performed in Australia on Army Recruits in 1998 they found that stretching before exercise did not significantly reduce the injury rate but did help recruits ‘unkink’ tight calves.

So here you have 2 studies that seem to conflict and the next step was to dig through the available studies on subject. The results are broadly summarised below with the conclusion being that the main merits of stretching lie in relation to injury reduction; here’s what I found:

• long term stretching is more beneficial

• you should stretch opposing muscles (i.e. stretch the quadriceps as well as the hamstring)

• strength training in conjunction with stretching does reduce injury rate

• stretch only after muscles have warmed up - a period of at least 10 minutes is generally recommended

• there are no negative benefits associated with stretching pre-exercise, however there are more benefits in terms of injury-prevention by stretching after exercise

The advice me and my team give to people is to incorporate a pre-exercise flexibility AND stretching into your program before and after exercise, with the emphasis on ‘after’.

In my case, I tend to do more stretching prior to events that require more flexibility - for me it’s martial arts. I do find that the more time I spend on this before a routine does reduce the likelihood of injury.

For running training, we advise people to spend 5 minutes walking to the start point and another 7 - 10 minutes performing flexibility (yoga) and stretching exercises. The yoga routines I find help get the muscles warm and more receptive to stretching . . . so the advice is to combine them.

As a final thought, don’t over-focus on any problem areas at the expense of the uninjured side. In other words, stretch and do flexibility exercises on both sides as equally as possible.

His Ultimate Cramp Busting Guide is the definitive guide to preventing, treating and curing cramps associated with exercise. In the Ultimate Cramp Busting Guide Newland speaks with 6 health, sports, nutrition, medical and complimentary health care professionals and explains why you get cramps, the best ways to treat them and how to prevent them from happening again.

In order to be effective, fitness training must be well assimilated and personalized. The process of learning and mastering the exercises properly takes a lot of time. Many of the movements must be practiced until they become automatisms; this way, the focus will be on the muscles that are worked out and on intensity of practice, rather than on the execution technique. But this routine of training has also some disadvantages.

One of them is monotony - the exercises get to be really boring for the practitioners. On the other hand, at least 4-6 weeks are necessary for checking and proving the potential of training, developing, losing weight, etc. that a program might have. A shorter period of time will not be enough for drawing relevant conclusions on the effectiveness of the program. Thus, a certain psychological resistance to monotony is necessary from the very beginning.

Another disadvantage of routine is the fact that the muscles act under the principle of economy of effort. This means that, soon after starting the program, they do not react to the stimulus with the same effectiveness as in the beginning. A state of limitation intervenes, when, in spite of the same efforts, the sportsman will not progress any more. Stagnation of good results might be very frustrating for the sportsman, who could, finally, abandon training completely. For avoiding this, it is advisable to change the program periodically, so that the muscles will have time to ‘forget’ the first exercises; the sportsman can come back to them after getting through a few different programs.

A completely new program can have disadvantages, for example the fact that learning it demands an increased effort of attention, of focusing, and sometimes even involve mental stress, determined by the degree of difficulty of the program. However, some practitioners can see a positive aspect in this, considering the new program as a challenge, which will ‘refresh’ them psychologically.

On the other hand, a too frequent change of programs can be as ineffective as maintaining them for too long. Changing the program before benefiting of all its potential of progress is like giving up antibiotics treatment after you have the impression that the symptoms disappeared.

It is important for the sportsman to observe carefully his own reactions from one training to the next; this way he will be able to choose the best moment for taking up new routine. It is very easy to consider some temporary states of indisposition, irritability or tiredness as limitation or overtraining and to abandon, in consequence, a program which would still have a lot to offer.

This is another case in which the experience accumulated by the practitioner in months or years of training will help him take the right decision and change the program when it is best for the body. If the sportsman makes the right choice, he will feel progress even in the first sessions of training and he will not need a long period of adaptation.

In time, the sportsman can develop a conditioned reflex, meaning that the body will ask regularly, at certain intervals, for a change in the routine of the training. This way, new solutions can be anticipated for getting over the critical fazes of stagnation. Moreover, the interest for the training will remain constant.

The active breaks (active recovery), which must be initiated once a trimester, a semester or a year, can submit to this rhythmic conditioning. They intrinsically belong to the training and their importance must not be underestimated.

My name is Greg Ryan. I am a fitness expert, professional bodybuilder, personal,
trainer to movie stars, former employee of Kathy Smith and over 50,000 hours of
paid personal training sessions under my belt. For the last twenty years I have been
able to continually make progress, stay consistent and have some fun in my quest
to be in better shape. One very important techniques I learned is how to “work the
room” or in other words make quality use of every second in the gym. I have been
able to keep my body fat low for years because I am efficient, not because I work
any harder, I just work smarter than any other. Here is what I mean:

Keeping your body fat technique #1: Work the room (gym)

Before each workout go through in your head the order of your exercises, intensity
levels, and contingency plans. This cuts time down and the effort out of the
workout. About ten minutes to be exact. Contingency plans are what exercise you
will do if someone is using the piece of equipment you want to use. (DO NOT STOP
AND WAIT FOR A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT)

Once you get going, start at one side of gym. Right before you finish your last set of
that exercise look for the next piece of equipment you want to use, making sure it
lines up with the body part needing to work next and it is close by. You will waste a
lot of time, more than you know, by going all the way across the gym every time you
change exercises. This cuts another ten minutes from the workout, and keeps the
heart rate and intensity levels high. Water breaks should be scheduled after two
exercises.

You may think this is way over board but it is not. This one technique has not only
keep me going to twenty years. It also has kept my body fat low and consistent for
years. Work the room or the gym will work you. Working out can be fun, productive
and energizing if you are smart about it!

Is there a power cut in your home? Has your refrigerator stopped working during the night? Do you have qualms about food that was in the freezer?

Relax ,in that case you can use some easy tips for handling food safely.

Through the food away when it is thawed or warmed to room temperature. If it has been kept at room temperature for more than two hours, throw it away.

If the food is mostly thawed, but still cold, cook it immediately. Foods that have been cooked may then be consumed or refrigerated for later use.

If the food still has ice crystals on it, you may refreeze it. If you do not have a freezer available, throw it in a cooler and add dry ice. The food will need to be cooked, because it won’t last as long as with a normal freezer.

Anything showing signs of freezer burn are also candidates for immediate disposal.

It’s not possible to prevent the occurrence of unexpected power interruptions due to weather or accidents, but it is possible to react properly in such cases.
Getting a new Fridge or freezer is a great idea to save energy and replace that old worn out one, giving your kitchen a new look. Consider a large American Style fridge freezer when you have enough space. This can make a dramatic change to any kitchen. A broad selection of American refrigerators and freezers is available for viewing at this site.
