Staying in Shape with a Busy Schedule
Wow! Summer’s almost done and it sure did
fly by.
Did you have a great summer?
Sorry to the Dynabod’s who were hoping for
a couple of evening bootcamp classes – just couldn’t do it. Talk about being
busy. I’m sure we can all relate.
I hope that your fitness regime did not
fall to the wayside. I didn’t hit the
gym much but did do a lot of physical activity that made up for it. (And this weekend putting a metal roof on the
cottage).
How about you?
Does your body feel like it’s rusting out
from lack of use?
Well, here’s how you can stay in shape
during a busy schedule:
1) Use an "easy" exercise routine
2) Keep exercise short and intense
3) Have fun while you exercise
What you'll find is that the more intensely
you work out, the less time it takes.
Besides, short and intense workouts offer
the greatest benefits such as increased muscle growth and the rapid fat-burning. Now
there is a winning combination!
One of the simplest ways of incorporating
an effective exercise routine is joining Dynabody Total Fitness. DTF classes are fun and challenging and focusses
on all areas of fitness. It will improve
your strength, stamina, coordination and energy levels. The key is on functional exercises, strength
training and metabolic cross-training - which is the best for conditioning the
body, burning fat and improving your heart health.
It’s “easy”, “intense” and “fun” – and with
the emphasis on proper technique - there is no better way to refresh your body,
restore your energy and beat stress!

A Funny way to Build Muscle Strength at any age!
I hope your summer is going great – just like
we all deserve!
During my summer holidays I met this spunky
95 year old farmer that had a great solution for anyone who wanted to build up
their muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It's so easy, I thought I'd
pass it on.
First, he suggests that you do this
exercise at least three times a week.
With a 5-pound potato sack in each hand,
extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as
you can. Each time you do it you should be able to hold
the position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to
10-pound potato sacks. Then use 50-pound
potato sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-pound
potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full
minute. After you feel confident at that
level, put a potato in each of the sacks….

Digital Dementia
The overstimulation of technology and a sedentary lifestyle are such problems
that adolescents now show non-Alzheimer’s, dementia-like symptoms.
Fortunately, the solution isn’t to get rid of technology, but learn healthier habits
while engaging with it.

Offset the Negative Effects from Sitting
Did you
know?
5+ hours of
sedentary sitting is the health equivalent of smoking a pack and a quarter of cigarettes!
(1)
We were
never meant to sit for long periods of time. At work, driving, watching the
game - all this sitting breaks down the body. The consequences are many;
- Increases
your risk of death from any cause by 50% (2)
- Increases
your risk of cardiovascular disease or heart attacks by 125%
- Slows down
your blood flow (3)
- Makes your
hip flexors extremely tight (one of the common root causes of chronic back
pain)
- Slows down
your metabolism and make you burn 21% fewer calories than if you were standing
up (4)
- Worsens
your body’s ability to metabolize glucose and to handle carbs )increasing risks
of diabetes). (5)
Other
negative side effects include poor lymph flow, brain dysfunction, feeling
sluggish, poor bone density, weak digestion, bad posture, swollen feet, etc….
If you sit a
lot - you need to be smart.
As you know,
my motto is “Use it or Lose It”. In reality - MOTION IS LIFE.
“When you
take a movement break it doesn’t matter what you do, you can take a nice stroll
down the hall,” said Dr Keith Diaz, an expert in behavioural medicine at
Columbia University and co-author of a study on excess sitting.
Diaz noted
such periods could be as short as a minute in duration. “It is about just
adding up the activity across the day,” he said, adding that walking to a
co-worker’s desk rather than speaking on the phone, or having walking meetings,
were both ways in which sitting time could be reduced and activity boosted. 6
Another way
of looking at is is to ask a simple question:
"How
little will I sit?" Small movements have a big impact. Try some
NonExercise Activity Thermogenesis. Also known as NEAT try stretching,
flexing your toes and calves, stretching, or even fidgeting in your chair. All
of those movements require energy, and the calories add up, says Mayo Clinic
researcher James Levine. He also suggests that "The goal of sitting
should be singular: to give our bodies a break from moving."
Offset the Negative Side Effects from Sitting by taking breaks every 30
minutes and Stretching.
The
following stretches are designed to loosen tight hip flexors -that result from
sitting too much…
