		<description><![CDATA[How many times have you heard someone say, “After you hit 40, it’s downhill all the way?” Really? Is that true? A Nun in her 70s completed the Ironman Triathlon last year for about her 10th consecutive time! In case you don’t know, that’s a 2.4 mile open water swim in the ocean, followed by a 112 mile bicycle ride through the Kona lava fields, followed by a full marathon (26.2 mile run). So drop the “age” excuse. It doesn’t fly. I’ve known people in their 60s, 70s, even 80s, who still hike mountain trails … play tennis … look fantastic. There is no rule that says you will be less fit after you turn 40. All it takes is a little more attention to keeping fit. Sure, the body ages — but when you take some care of it, it ages well. You can actually have more energy and be in better shape than you were in your younger years. There’s no reason to give up on your fitness after a certain age. With a little proper care, your later years can truly be your “golden years.” To your good health, Lee]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Peggy W. Brill, a board-certified specialist in orthopedic physical therapy has something to say about all those sit-ups and crunches we&#8217;ve been doing. And if you think she&#8217;s going to say, &#8220;Way to go,&#8221; you&#8217;re in for a surprise. Ms. Brill is of the opinion that sit-ups and crunches are the worst things you can force your body to do to try to get your abs in shape without damaging the rest of your body. She feels that these exercises can damage your spine and tend to elongate the transverse abdominus (girdle) muscle, causing the lower abdominals to pouch. For the whole story and to see the alternatives that she recommends for abdominal workouts, take a look at her book, The Core Program &#8211; 15 Minutes a Day That Can Change Your Life. The Core Program To your good health, Lee Page]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, researchers have made compelling arguments for the benefits of weight training for women. Even so, it seems that most women refuse to take this information to heart. Most women continue to pursue the &#8220;cardio&#8221; method to fitness and weight loss. Whatever your reasons for avoiding the weights, if you are a woman, here are five reasons why you need to take strength training seriously. You will be physically stronger without gaining bulk. You will decrease your risk of diseases such as osteoporosis, diabetes, and arthritis. You will improve your attitude and help avoid depression. You will reduce the risk of heart disease. You will reduce your risk of injury and the all too common back pain. So, you may need to rethink your point of view where weight training for women is concerned. The evidence is in &#8211; weight training for women can be a very effective path to weight loss, health and fitness. For more information about strength training for women, I recommend Mike Geary, certified nutrition specialist and certified personal trainer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Wayne Westcott, Ph. D. (www.healthy.net), women who do no strength training lose about 5 pounds of muscle every decade of their adult life. The result is a lower metabolism and a gradual increase in fat weight (about 15 pounds per decade), as well as a less fit, firm and attractive appearance. Women who start strength training typically lose twice as much fat as they gain muscle. So, rather than &#8220;bulking up&#8221; as some women fear, in most cases the added muscle simply replaces the muscle previously lost through lack of use. For more information about effective strength training for women, I recommend Mike Geary, certified nutrition specialist and certified personal trainer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fredrick Hahn, president of the National Council for Exercise Standards and owner of Serious Strength, Inc. believes you can have a stronger, more fit body with just 30 minutes of exercise per week. He calls the technique &#8220;Slow Burn.&#8221; The idea is that the resistance (weights or your body) is lifted and lowered very slowly &#8211; about 10 seconds up and 10 seconds down. The benefits are said to be: A safer workout because the slow lifting is gentler on tendons, ligaments and joints, so even elderly people can safely perform the recommended exercises. It&#8217;s a more effective workout because there is no momentum in the movement to assist the muscles in moving the weight. It&#8217;s more efficient because you can get a complete strength workout in about 30 minutes per week, as opposed to at least 3 hours with conventional weight training workouts. For more information on the technique, Mr. Hahn has co-authored the book, The Slow Burn Fintess Revolution. Click the link below to see the book on Amazon. Slow Burn]]></description>
