Nutrition and Supplements - An Exercise and Fitness Routine for those Blah Days

An Exercise and Fitness Routine for those Blah Days
By: Renee Kennedy and Terry Kent
Summer is right around the corner, but there's 2 feet
of snow in my driveway! If you like to exercise outside,
or you drive to the gym, how are you going to exercise when
the weather is lousy? Plan a simple, but effective
exercise routine that you can do right in your living room.
(By the way, shoveling snow is an excellent aerobic
workout - just be careful and take it slow.)
WARNING: Before you start any exercise routine, consult
your health care professional. Start this routine slowly, if you
can't do 10 repetitions of a certain exercise, then try five.
Materials needed: two weights, three lbs each
or two soup cans
Routine:
Day One:
Stretching - 10 minutes
Upper Body Work Out - 10 minutes
Ab Work Out - 10 minutes
Cool down - 5 minutes
Day Two:
Stretching - 10 minutes
Aerobic Work Out - 20 minutes
Cool down - 5 minutes
Alternate these two days every other day at least
five days a week.
Stretching exercises:

Aerobic Work Outs (Choose a different one each day
or make up your own!):
1 - Jump rope - jumping rope is actually kind of fun!
2 - Jog in place - boring but effective!
3 - Walk up and down stairs for a few minutes - great lower
body workout! (Just be sure that you have a railing to hold
onto.)
4 - Pretend you're a boxer and move from one foot to the
other around while jabbing the air.
5 - Turn on some loud music and dance around.
6 - Geared towards the housewife in all of us, put the
vacuum on its lowest setting and push that baby around
for awhile, alternating hands that you use to push it.
The point is - get yourself breathing deeply and sweating
a little.
Cool Down:
Choose a few more stretches for a complete cool down.
It's more about how much effort you put into each exercise rather
than how many exercises you do. In other words,
make each exercise work for you.
Again, see your doctor before planning any exercise routine.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
