Aerobic Exercise.

The simplest way to meet this need is walking. Walking is the one of the best exercises for your body. The wear and tear on your joints is lower than jogging. Be sure to start off slower to warm up and increase speed slowly after about 3-5 minutes. To increase the intensity, simply lengthen your stride a bit and speed up your pace. The other strategy for increasing intensity is to increase your speed for short bursts of time.If you prefer, jogging is also good if it doesn’t bother your knees. Just know that walking is just as good if you go fast enough. No big investment needed. All you need is your sneakers, and maybe not even that if you walk on the beach. 30 minutes per day every day has been shown to be the optimal amount of exercise. If you don’t have time all at once, the same benefits are derived even if you break it up into 3 X 10 minute or 2 X 15 minute sessions.

2. Stretching. An important age marker is your level of flexibility. Yoga is a terrific way to keep your body flexible. If you don’t have time for a full yoga session, try to make sure you do 5 minutes of stretching each day after your aerobic exercise. To ensure you get most areas of your body, try a sun salutation, some seated twists, and a hip opener.

How Do I Gain Weight


How Do I Gain Weight





I get asked periodically about gaining weight and what to do about it. There is no simple answer becuase there are so many variables involved. First it depends on your body type.. are you able to gain weight based on your body's ability to carry it (are you genetically able to do so)?, are you exercising regularly? is your body in the correct hormonal state to gain weight? Have you tried any body building supplements? The first thing I tell people is the whole food program I recommend. It's designed to nourish the various systems of the body including your endocrine system so that no matter what program you're following you'll be able to support it. The rest revolves around the amount of weight training you're doing and the foods you're eating. My Trainer told me in no uncertain terms that if I wanted to gain mass, I'd have to spend more time in the gym. Yes I have a personal trainer! If all conditions are then correct (endocrine system is being supported nutritionally, you're exercising regularily and you have the body type that will support it) then you would want to consider a system of calorie dense foods. Not only eating more, but the correct combination of foods. The program that I have used since 1991 involves
