Regular exercise can help you
control your weight, reduce your risk of heart disease, and strengthen your
bones and muscles. But if you haven't exercised for some time and you have
health concerns, you may want to talk to your doctor before starting a new
exercise routine.
When to check with your doctor
Although moderate physical activity,
such as brisk walking, is safe for most people, health experts suggest that you
talk to your doctor before you start an exercise program if any of the
following apply:
· You have heart disease.
· You have asthma or lung
disease.
· You have diabetes, or liver
or kidney disease.
· You have arthritis.
You should also check with your
doctor if you have symptoms suggestive of heart, lung or other
serious disease, such as:
· Pain or discomfort in your
chest, neck, jaw or arms during physical activity
· Dizziness or loss of
consciousness
· Shortness of breath with mild
exertion or at rest, or when lying down or going to bed
· Ankle swelling, especially at
night
· A heart murmur or a rapid or
pronounced heartbeat
· Muscle pain when walking
upstairs or up a hill that goes away when you rest
Finally, the American College of
Sports Medicine recommends that you see your doctor before engaging in vigorous
exercise if two or more of the following apply:
· You're a man older than age
45 or a woman older than age 55.
· You have a family history of
heart disease before age 55.
· You smoke or you quit smoking
in the past six months.

________________________________________________________________
WEEK 4 CHALLENGE:
(Monday,
February 16, 2015 to Sunday, February 22, 2015)
Whether
you began with week 1 or this is your first week,
Try these
steps for a healthier you!
Your
fourth week challenge is to strengthen your lower half!
Fitness CHALLENGE (Part 1): It’s
time to get your lower half ready to run! Try this combination of exercises at least
3 times a week
(Part 2): Lets work on our posture! Try these 3 Stretches to Prevent Rounded
Shoulders:
The first 3 can be done sitting
on a chair, standing, kneeling, or sitting on the floor. These are great
stretches for someone with a desk or office job and can be done (and highly
recommended) anytime throughout the day.
1. Back Bound Hand Pose
1. Shoulder Squeeze
1. Cow face Pose
These 3 yoga poses are excellent for expanding and stretching the chest, strengthening and reducing tightness of the shoulders, releasing tension in the back, all which will give you excellent results for rounded shoulders and better posture.
Sound mind CHALLENGE (Part 3):
Spend a few
moments thinking about a time when you believed in yourself even though others
didn't.
How to do it
Think back to
a time when you believed in yourself and followed your intuition, even when
those around you were doubtful. Perhaps you embarked on a career change that
surprised people or moved to a place that raised eyebrows. Think about how you
felt during that time, and how you stayed strong in the face of others'
opinions.
Why it
matters
All of us
feel pressure from others at different points in our lives, and it can be hard
to shut out the voices that tell us to do (or not do) something. Recalling a
time when you maintained your belief in yourself can motivate you to stay
strong in the face of doubters in situations both large and small.
Of Mere Being
The palm at the end of the mind,
Beyond the last thought, rises
In the bronze distance.

A gold-feathered bird
Sings in the palm, without human meaning,
Without human feeling, a foreign song.
