Unmentionables
We probably also at this time go to the lavatory. Even here there is a right and a wrong way.
Now you are probably going to say that I am going too far. After all, we have all been peeing and other things quite successfully all our lives. We learned these things before we could walk! The woman, and maybe also the man, will sit down. Be sure to sit down using your legs alone. Do not support yourself with your hands and try to sit slowly, feeling your leg muscles work. Don’t just flop down!
However, even if the man only stands there he can draw in his lower stomach muscles and release them several times and alternately close the cheeks of his bottom muscles several times (In later years this can help the flow of water). For the woman this is far more important. There are three groups of muscles which are often neglected. (more…)

What is your average day? I am not suggesting you change your whole working life, but take time to think about these questions:
- Do you walk, take the lift, catch a bus, go by car?
- Why don’t you currently exercise?
- When do you have uninterrupted time to exercise?
- Where are you going to exercise?
- What exercise will you do?
- How often can you exercise?
- Who can support or help you with your programme?
From those questions you will have some realistic answers about what you can currently do, so let’s look in more detail about how you will benefit from an exercise routine. Even the most modest amount of exercise has enormous benefit, but you need to know exactly what is the specific gain you are going to get. What do you want as well as weight loss? Below are just some of the benefits exercise can bring, but you need to think about what you would add to this list that would make you start, and keep on, exercising: (more…)

Overfatness or obesity can contribute to degenerative diseases, health problems, and even shortened life.
Some diseases and health problems associated with overfatness and obesity are presented in Concept 3. In addition to the higher incidence of certain diseases and health problems, there is evidence that people who are moderately overfat have a 40 percent higher than normal risk of shortening their lifespan. More severe obesity results in a 70 percent higher than normal death rate. This is evidenced by the exorbitant life insurance premiums paid by obese individuals.
Recent statistics indicating that underweight people had a higher than normal risk of premature death are very deceptive. Many people included in the data were underweight because of terminal illnesses. Most experts agree that those people who are free from disease and who have lower than average amounts of body fat have a lower than average risk of premature death. (more…)

Participants may use a variety of forms of resistance training (free weights, machines, calisthenics, latex tubing, springs, or isometrics). The training program of these sports are specific to the goals of that sport and are not interchangeable.
Training for bulk (hypertrophy) and “definition” may differ from strength training.
Most body builders use three to seven sets of ten to fifteen repetitions, rather than the three sets of three to eight repetitions recommended for most weight trainers. Sometimes, “definition” is difficult to obtain because it is obscured by fat. It should be noted that those with the largest looking muscles are not always the strongest.
If the target zone is exceeded, an “overload syndrome” may result. (more…)

Flexibility is specific to each joint of the body.
No one flexibility test will give an indication of your overall flexibility. For example, tight hamstrings and back muscles might be revealed by a toe-touch test, but the range of motion in other joints may be quite different.
Flexibility is influenced by age, sex, and race.
As children grow older, their flexibility increases until adolescence when they become progressively less flexible. (more…)

There are many different positive life-styles that can reduce the risk of disease.
Many of the factors that contribute to optimal health and quality of life are also considered risk factors. Changing these risk factors can dramatically reduce the risk of hypokinetic diseases such as heart disease, obesity, back pain, and cancer, as well as other diseases such as infections and sexually-transmitted diseases. Lack of exercise, poor nutrition, smoking, abuse of alcohol and other drugs, inability to cope with stress, and poor personal hygiene are all risk factors associated with various diseases.
Not all risk factors can be altered by life-style changes. (more…)

Taken as a whole, the review posits that a range of exercise regimens may have a therapeutic role in relation to a number of psychological disorders. At the same time, the research evidence to date does not provide unqualified support for the efficacy of exercise, and enthusiasm must be tempered with an acknowledgment of the dangers associated with exercise. Certainly, the literature does not indicate that exercise should be treated as a panacea or snake-oil for psychological malaise of whatever kind. Instead, it does suggest that different forms of physical exercise may be palliative in relation to particular conditions.
Whether that exercise be non-aerobic, aerobic or anaerobic, of short, medium or long term duration, competitive or non-competitive, team or individual, single or multi-session, is not always clear but there are suggestions that different psychological conditions respond differentially to alternative exercise regimens and recent attempts to develop taxonomies of physical activity and mental health may offer a realistic starting point in attempting to draw together some of the diverse recommendations.

Long term suppression of serum testosterone associated with exercise may result from decreased production rates, decreased protein binding or increased clearance. Of theses, the most likely mechanism is decreased testosterone production arising from either intrinsic failure of the testis to maintain adequate steroid biosynthesis perhaps due to testicular microtrauma and temperature increase’ or from central dysfunction in the HPG axis. The latteris supported by reports of decreases in LH pulse amplitude” and frequency’ as well as changes in pituitary responses to hypothalamic stimulation by exogenous GnRH in male athletes. In addition, factors may interact with the HPG axis including dietary intake”‘” and raised concentrations of stress related hormones. (more…)

1. Energy levels rise and you feel better
If people only realised it: their top excuse for not exercising is that they are too tired, but lack of exercise is the reason why they are tired in the first place! Exercise increases your energy levels. You may not feel like doing it, but once you have completed your workout for the day, oxygen levels are increased and the feel-good factor kicks in. Once you are in the habit, you will find you actually get a buzz out of exercising!
When the stress of life increases, your job gets on top of you or the kids become too much, then get out for some fresh air and get that body moving. Either join a club that has creche facilities or roster with your partner or friends to take turns. Maybe try going to the gym or for a walk in your lunch hour instead of sitting in the lunchroom. Even doing a lap around the outside of your house can do wonders for a stressed mind. (more…)
