Hello, readers!

This week we are going to take a moment to look at IHRSA’s Health eReview- Volume 4, Issue 6. On this site is all types of invaluable information that will help on our road to active fitness. For instance, I found the article regarding the positive effects of aerobic exercise on the human brain, even boosting the thought processes so that we might think more clearly. I definitely need to give that one a try! HAHA!

Like I said, just filter through the articles on this page until you find one that is really conducive to your own personal situation. There is a wealth of information available here. Just click on the reference link below to find out more about IHRSA:

I used to be a dancer waayyy back when I was young. I loved it because unlike other workouts - it held my interest. Now there is this huge ballroom dance craze and dance craze in general - yay! I am a self-professed “Dancing with the Stars” addict. So, I was excited to find that Louie, who does alot of the choreography, has a dance video out! Check it out here and start having some fun with your workouts!

Hello, everyone!

I think it is very important to periodically reinforce the benefits of hydraulic resistance equipment. Upon hearing the term “hydraulic,” I immediately think of the positive effects of swimming and/or any other form of fluid interval training. The key is the resistance provided by this type of exercise; we actually use our muscle tissues to displace the fluid in the circuit. This builds muscles in a much more effective manner than other types of workouts, which are often too strenuous on our muscles, doing more damage to our muscle tissue than good. Other types of workouts, therefore, are less effective, at times even dangerous, forms of workouts. Please keep these factors in mind… and always “tune in” to www.fitexpress.com to check out new lines of hydraulic equipment!

Hi, everyone!

I wanted to take the time to blog about an issue that is currently on my mind. This issue is seasonal illnesses, and I want to encourage all readers to put forth the extra effort to remain healthy. Seasons of sickness soon rear their ugly heads, with constant outbreaks of flu, sinus congestion, severe allergies, stomach viruses, etc. Unfortunately, any of us that work in the public arena are more susceptible to these illnesses. I suffered a stomach virus 2 weeks ago, and now trying to recuperate from a dreadful attack of sinus congestion and allergies. One suggestion I offer to colleagues is in the form of a Zinc vitamin, which builds a healthy immune system, equipping your body with a strong-hold defense against microscopic enemies. Of course, I always suggest that you consult your medical provider before making any such decisions. It is always better to be safe than sorry….

Thanks for reading, and if you feel like I have today, let’s both pray for a quick recovery!

Hello, readers!

I apologize for our blog’s absence over the past few months; the blog has been “down” due to recent technical issues. We are excited to have the blog back “up-&-running,” as I have missed reading and reporting about fitness-related issues. I learned a great deal about fitness in general, as well as fitness pertaining to specific age groups! I hope that we have all the technical issues obliterated, so that we may continue in our quest to achieve a more healthy state of life.

Where else better to start than another newsletter published by our pals at ICAA. Issues being tackled in this month’s issue consist of:

1) “More bad news from obesity: dementia and disability”
2) “Older Americans spend time with the television”
3) “Is technology a key to aging in place?”

….. And many more! Just click on the reference link below to access the article:
