00:01 For those who suffer from fibromyalgia,
00:03 they know it's no laughing matter. 00:05 Autoimmune disorders are plaguing our country today 00:07 and there's a definite reason why. 00:09 We're gonna explore that next on Body & Sprit. 00:42 I'm Dick Nunez, 00:44 co-owner of Fit-In-15 personal training systems. 00:47 Welcome to Body & Sprit. 00:49 Throughout my career, 00:50 I've worked with a lot of people 00:52 with autoimmune disorders, 00:53 one of them, one that's been considered 00:54 a trashcan diagnosis is fibromyalgia. 00:57 For anybody who suffers from it, 00:59 it is no trashcan, it's a reality. 01:02 Fibromyalgia plagues a lot of people. 01:04 And the problem is 01:05 they don't know what to do about it. 01:07 They might try medication, 01:08 they may try all sorts of different programs 01:10 and nothing seems to work. 01:12 The good news is, 01:13 in my experience with people with fibromyalgia, 01:16 we have found great success 01:17 giving people good exercise program, 01:19 helping them with their eating habits, 01:21 and also, 01:22 helping with their thought process, 01:24 because all those things affect our immune system 01:26 and how we feel. 01:27 So we're gonna talk about that more now 01:29 as we get into our program. 01:30 And helping me out here will be Lisa, 01:32 who is also a personal trainer. 01:34 And she also has worked with a lot of people 01:36 with fibromyalgia and autoimmune disorders. 01:39 And so together, 01:40 we're gonna go through a workout. 01:41 And we're gonna do it from a seated position 01:43 because people with fibromyalgia 01:45 oftentimes are uncomfortable doing any type of exercise, 01:48 they're afraid to do anything. 01:50 And here's the reality, 01:52 by doing exercise, 01:54 it can be a double edged sword. 01:55 If you work too much, 01:57 it could actually make you worse. 01:59 If you don't do anything, 02:01 you're not gonna get any better. 02:03 So what do you do? 02:04 Well, we go with a simple exercise program 02:06 that will allow you to make great gains 02:09 without causing irritation. 02:12 You can't over train, 02:13 and you can't go too much 02:14 on the negative aspect of exercise 02:16 because that will definitely inflame the muscle sheet. 02:19 And anything that starts to hurt 02:21 will be hyper exaggerated 02:25 with anybody who has an autoimmune disorder. 02:27 So we're gonna start with our program now, 02:29 we're gonna go real gentle. 02:31 Lisa, as we warm up, we just gonna do 02:33 some light arm swings right down here. 02:38 And anytime you're dealing with an autoimmune disorder, 02:41 anytime you start to feel some discomfort or irritation, 02:44 just go ahead and stop and rest, 02:48 because it's always better to rest 02:50 and then pick up again 02:52 rather than trying to push yourself through something 02:54 that's gonna make you uncomfortable. 02:56 So what we're gonna do is we're gonna do a series 02:58 of motion of exercise, 03:00 it's gonna focus on the range of motion. 03:03 Of course, it can be done with resistance, 03:05 but for right now, 03:07 we're gonna be good just doing something. 03:09 Okay, so let's go ahead and rest there. 03:12 What we're gonna do 03:13 is we're gonna push our hands together like this 03:15 and we're gonna just gently come out, 03:18 all the way out, and bring it back in. 03:20 We're gonna do it slowly. 03:23 Right now we're focusing on the chest. 03:25 As we squeeze the hands together, 03:27 it will engage the pectoralis muscles, 03:29 which are your chest muscles. 03:33 Now the harder you push, 03:35 the more it's gonna affect you. 03:36 So if you really clamp down and push hard, 03:40 you're gonna get more of an effect from it. 03:42 But if you have fibromyalgia or other autoimmune disorders, 03:45 which could be chronic fatigue, chronic pain, 03:48 rheumatoid arthritis, 03:50 all those autoimmune type things, 03:52 they can cause immense amount of pain. 03:53 So you have to go by your own body, 03:57 'cause there's gonna be 03:58 physiological variability in all people. 04:00 You can't just put everybody into a cookie cutter and say, 04:03 okay, you're gonna be exactly like this. 04:04 And there's no blueprint for any one person. 04:07 You have to work with people, 04:08 you have to ask them lot's of questions. 04:10 So the best thing to do is start really gentle, 04:14 go for your exercise, and then you'll find 04:17 what works best for you. 04:19 And so when I work with people with fibromyalgia, 04:22 I try and keep the workouts as simple as possible. 04:27 And if I add something, 04:29 I add it one thing at a time, otherwise you don't know 04:33 exactly what it is that might be causing the discomfort. 04:36 Okay. We're doing okay there? 04:38 Now we're gonna switch the angle 04:40 and we're gonna push upward. 04:42 Okay, all the way up, back down. 04:45 And up, and down. 04:48 And up, and down. And up, and down. 04:53 And up, and down. 04:56 Let's do about five more of those. 04:58 This is also working the chest, 05:00 but we're hitting it from a little different angle. 05:03 So instead of straight out, 05:04 like we're doing a vertical chest press, 05:07 now we're doing a little more of an incline. 05:09 By squeezing our hands together, 05:10 it simply gives us a little bit of resistance 05:13 while we go through the range of motion. 05:15 Okay, and let's just hold at the top now there, 05:17 Lisa, and squeeze the hands together, 05:20 squeeze them together, 05:22 squeeze it together, and now relax. 05:27 Nice thing about exercise, 05:28 it gives you an endorphin feeling, 05:30 the endorphins, the endorphin rush 05:33 will help boost your immune system 05:35 and so that's what we're after, 05:36 trying to make people feel good. 05:37 And so much of what causes pain to people 05:40 is what's going on between their ears. 05:42 In other words, if they're thinking 05:43 harsh thoughts, it's not good for you. 05:46 And I was just reading a quote this morning, 05:49 where it talks about 05:50 "Feelings is not a good boss for our life, 05:52 our frontal lobe is a good boss for our life." 05:55 So we don't want to react 05:56 to all our feelings all the time 05:58 because it will make us feel worse. 06:00 And when we're stressed out and depressed, we hurt more. 06:03 In fact, most of time when you find somebody 06:05 with fibromyalgia, 06:06 you also find somebody's battling with depression. 06:08 And the good news about that, 06:10 just by exercising three times a week 06:13 for a couple of months, 06:15 66 percent of all depression disappears. 06:18 Okay, so what I want to do now 06:20 is we're gonna put our hands behind our head 06:21 and stretch out gently. 06:26 If you overstretch your muscle, 06:28 you can create what's called the Golgi tendon response. 06:32 So we don't want to do that, 06:33 we just want to have a nice gentle stretch, 06:35 and then bring it across. 06:40 Okay, and let's do it again. 06:43 Hands behind the head, stretch back... 06:50 And then crossed again. 06:55 All right. 06:57 Now we're gonna do a back exercise. 07:00 So we're gonna be reaching out like this, 07:02 we're gonna roll back, 07:04 until your elbows hit the chair, 07:06 and then push back into the chair, 07:08 and then back out, 07:10 reach your shoulder blades out as far you can. 07:12 Then we're pulling back into the chair, push. 07:16 Try to contract the muscles of your upper back, 07:18 and then reach out. 07:23 And squeeze it back, 07:25 and reach out. 07:28 And back, and out. 07:32 We'll keep doing the reps there, Lisa. 07:38 I know in my experience, 07:39 I find that when people start exercising with fibromyalgia, 07:43 we might start with very limited amount of exercise, 07:46 but as they get stronger, 07:48 they can actually do more. 07:49 Have you found that with your training as well? 07:52 Yeah, it's amazing after, 07:54 sometimes even just a few months 07:56 you never know that they were fibromyalgia 07:59 when they came in, they increased their weight, 08:02 sometimes even five times as much from the first day, 08:06 two months into it. 08:08 And that is something that we do see, 08:10 where people who are so brittle when they first start, 08:15 and few months later, it's like, 08:16 they never did have it. 08:18 And some of these people 08:19 have battled with it for 20 years 08:22 with no hope and no help, 08:24 and then all of a sudden, they feel like a new person. 08:26 Like, wow, where was this? 08:29 Well, be thankful you finally found it. 08:32 Okay, and let's go and relax. 08:34 Okay, now let's go and stretch those muscles. 08:36 So we're gonna reach up overhead, 08:38 gently grab the elbow and pull it. 08:43 Also, what we eat has so much to do with it. 08:47 When somebody eats a lot of sugar, 08:49 if you have 25 teaspoons of sugar at one shot 08:52 and that's not that hard to do. 08:54 If people have pop or things like that... 08:56 Let's go and switch. 08:58 They get 25 teaspoons of sugar very easily 09:01 and that will compromise your immune system 09:03 by 95 percent for 12 hours. 09:06 And when we compromise our immune system, 09:09 we are going to set ourselves up 09:11 for situations like autoimmune disorders. 09:15 Okay. Also, a big one is sleep. 09:18 Oh, sleep is such a big issue. 09:21 Sleep before midnight 09:23 has been said to be twice as valuable 09:25 sleep after midnight. 09:26 That's because it works with in the rhythms of our body 09:29 and we get the maximum out 09:30 of chemical reaction of our brain, 09:31 the human growth hormone, 09:33 the tryptophan, to serotonin, to melatonin transformation, 09:37 all those things are much more efficient before midnight. 09:40 And so when people try to burn the midnight oil 09:42 and they sleep in way too long, 09:44 they're gonna be compromised or they don't get enough sleep. 09:47 And that's something that a lot of people are guilty 09:48 of as well, they don't sleep enough. 09:50 And if you don't sleep enough, what is compromised? 09:52 Your immune system. Okay. 09:54 Now we're gonna bring our hands up like this 09:56 and we're gonna simulate a shoulder press. 09:58 We're just gonna push up overhead and back down. 10:01 Push up, back down. Push up, back down. 10:07 Push, back down. 10:11 And again, on this one, 10:13 you can force yourself to struggle more 10:17 and act like you're lifting a very heavy load. 10:20 And that will actually work your shoulders even more. 10:24 Starting out, I would suggest going, 10:26 just going through the range of motion, 10:29 feeling those muscles work, because for a lot of people 10:32 with autoimmune disorders, fibromyalgia, 10:36 they haven't done anything in a long time. 10:38 No, just the range of motion is enough. 10:40 Just the range of motion is enough. 10:43 Something else I find with my clients 10:45 which amazes me is how little water they drink. 10:49 That's a big one as well. 10:51 And just taking in water especially for... 10:53 I'm thinking of a specific fibromyalgia person, 10:57 she just didn't drink water at all. 10:59 And as soon as she started drinking water 11:01 and had a little sea salt, it was amazing. 11:04 And now she takes it as a key, 11:06 as soon as she gets a headache and starts hurting, 11:08 she kind of ask herself, well, have I had water yet today, 11:11 and she found out that was a huge key 11:14 in how she felt. 11:16 That's good. 11:17 And one of the professions I have found 11:19 that really lead the way in fibromyalgia are nurses 11:23 'cause they have terrible schedules, 11:26 a lot of stress 11:28 and don't seem to be able to find the time 11:29 to drink adequate amounts of water. 11:31 And their sleep schedule. 11:32 Then their sleep schedule is terrible. 11:34 Okay. 11:35 Have you found that as well in nurses, 11:37 we've a lot of that? 11:38 Okay, let's reach out, 11:40 bring it across the body and we'll stretch. 11:41 But a lot of times they don't have a choice 11:43 because that's their schedule. 11:44 They do a nightshift for a couple 11:46 and then they do a dayshift and so their rhythms are odd. 11:49 And that's really hard 11:50 when people have to shift their schedule. 11:53 Okay, out again, bring it across. 12:01 Also when people eat a lot of foods, 12:04 the pH balance is so important. 12:05 When people eat a lot of foods, sort of, can be high acidic, 12:09 they're gonna have a lot more inflammation. 12:11 When people can get more alkaline, 12:14 take in a lot of more whole food, herbs, 12:16 things like that or... 12:18 I'm sorry. Greens. 12:19 Greens or get even some type of thing 12:22 that will convert their water into being more alkaline, 12:24 which will help them or helps their body immensely 12:27 so they don't hurt nearly so much. 12:29 Okay. 12:30 Now let's just do some light arm exercise. 12:32 We're just gonna reach down and we're just gonna curl up 12:34 as if we're doing some dumbbell curls. 12:39 I think mine are heavier than yours. 12:40 I don't think. You don't think. 12:42 It looks like you're carrying the same air I am. 12:44 Okay. 12:48 So we're just flexing the biceps now and reach out. 12:51 The biceps function is to curl and supinate the wrist, 12:54 which means to turn it out. 12:56 So we keep our palms up. 12:59 And then we want to reach all the way down as well. 13:01 Full range of motions is very important. 13:04 Every joint in the body is weak. 13:06 It's simply a bone coming to bone hooked by a ligament. 13:08 The muscles are what give the joints strength. 13:12 And so when we take it through a full range of motion, 13:14 in this case, the biceps is gonna flex the elbow. 13:17 So it's gonna give strength to that elbow area. 13:20 When people ignore the muscles of their arms, 13:22 they're making a gross mistake. 13:26 Oftentimes when we're doing weight training 13:28 with fibromyalgia people, 13:31 I don't have them do specific arm workout at first 13:34 because they get enough arm stimulation 13:38 just doing the other ones for their chest, 13:39 their back, and their shoulders, 13:41 which I find to be more important. 13:42 And then they get enough arm stimulation from that, 13:44 that I usually don't worry about it, 13:46 especially at first 13:47 until they start feeling a lot better. 13:50 Okay, good. 13:52 And I know we've seen people 13:53 in the beginning especially with fibromyalgia, 13:56 they're looking for any reason to quit. 13:58 You know, it doesn't take hardly any, 13:59 well, I'm starting to hurt or whatever, 14:01 and then you have to remind them a lot times 14:03 about where you were when you first started 14:05 and where you are at now 14:07 or even take them and put them on the weights 14:09 they were at when they first started 14:11 and then they realize, wow. 14:13 I have gotten so much better, 14:14 because we'd like things just to go straight up, 14:17 but it doesn't work that way. 14:18 We start going up, we level out. 14:20 And what I tell people all the time 14:22 is your bad days now are gonna be better 14:25 than your best days in the beginning. 14:28 And your best days now are gonna be so far 14:30 above what you ever thought you could do again. 14:32 Okay, now let's do the triceps. 14:34 We're gonna take our fists like that 14:36 and we're gonna press down. 14:38 And press down. And press down. 14:42 And press down. 14:45 And push, and push. 14:47 Try and contract the triceps at the bottom. 14:50 This is an area that affects women a lot. 14:52 They want to get rid of those, 14:54 they call them batwings, angel wings, 14:56 grandma way, bye-bye fat, whatever you want to call it. 15:00 But they start gathering that on the back of their arms 15:03 and their triceps area. 15:04 And of course, 15:05 you can't magically spot reduce anything, 15:07 it doesn't work that way. 15:08 The body loses fat systematically throughout. 15:11 But certainly, stimulating the muscles 15:13 in the area will firm the muscles up. 15:16 And I know a lot times 15:17 women will say to me and I'm sure you hear this too, 15:19 they'll go, "My arms feels so much firmer 15:21 since I started doing this." 15:23 I don't... 15:24 They say that I don't jiggle quiet 15:26 as long as I once did 15:27 when I first started it. 15:29 Okay, that's good. 15:31 Now, what we're gonna do 15:32 is we're gonna do some leg exercise. 15:35 And again, we're just gonna do range of motion. 15:38 And we're gonna start 15:40 by just doing some extension like that. 15:43 And so we're just extending the leg. 15:47 And by doing that, we contract our quadriceps. 15:53 Very simple. 15:56 Pretty much anybody can do this just sitting in their chair. 16:02 Even while somebody is watching 3ABN at home, 16:06 they can sit in the chair and do some easy leg extension. 16:10 But, on the same token, 16:12 you wan to be practical on that as well 16:15 because if you start doing some exercise, 16:16 you go, well, this feels better. 16:18 I'll just do more, more, more. 16:19 You have to give yourself some break 16:21 in between as well. 16:22 So that's why I so often just recommend 16:25 the three times a week to make sure 16:26 somebody has a complete day of rest in between. 16:29 And everybody is different. 16:31 Sometimes I've had fibromyalgia people so bad 16:34 that they only can work out once a week to start out, 16:37 but then optimally, it's three, 16:39 but if you only can do it once a week at first, 16:41 that's fine. 16:43 Okay. 16:44 Important thing is to do something. 16:50 I know so often people have been 16:53 so apprehensive about starting. 16:55 And then once they do, 16:57 they just say, oh, I wish I wouldn't have waited so long, 16:59 because it feels so much better. 17:04 Very important to stay away from things like sugar, 17:08 caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, 17:11 so many of the environmental things around, 17:13 or even the things like using 17:15 what type of cleaning supplies they use. 17:16 If they use too much bleach and so forth. 17:18 All these things affect the immune system. 17:20 I know that, I had a woman 17:22 that I was training who did cleaning. 17:25 She was a housekeeper. 17:27 And when she did a lot of cleaning, 17:31 you could see the difference as opposed to 17:34 when she had some time off. 17:35 When she had some time off, she lifted drastically better. 17:38 And so when she'd come in, 17:39 she goes "I don't feel very good today." 17:41 I would say, "Did you work yesterday?" 17:43 "Well, yes, I had to work yesterday." 17:44 Drastic difference. 17:46 And then you'd have a day 17:47 where she had a really good day working out. 17:49 When is the last time you worked? 17:50 Well, I worked four days ago. 17:52 But getting into those cleaners all the time 17:54 and people don't realize just how much that affects, 17:57 or people living in big cities 17:58 and breathing in all the toxins in the air, 18:02 it makes a big difference. 18:03 Okay, we're gonna stand up for a moment, Lisa. 18:05 And we're gonna come to the back of our chairs 18:08 and we'll use our chair to stabilize. 18:11 And what we're gonna do is some standing leg curls. 18:12 And we'll start with our left leg first, 18:14 and we'll just curl the leg back up and back down. 18:19 And so now we're flexing the back of the leg 18:21 as we come up, 18:23 focusing on a hamstring. 18:27 This is an area that gets neglected a lot, 18:30 but we want to make sure 18:31 we have a balance between the quadriceps 18:35 and the hamstrings. 18:39 When you're getting imbalance of muscles, 18:40 that's when people start having injuries. 18:43 So we want to try and curl it up 18:45 as far as you can and then back down. 18:51 I feel like a ballet dancer. 18:53 No? You look like one. 18:54 I look like one. 18:58 Okay, now we're gonna switch to the other side. 19:01 I know you mentioned all the toxins 19:03 that people take in 19:05 and one of our biggest things, you know, our skin. 19:07 People forget about things that we put on our skin. 19:11 Our skin are our biggest pore or biggest detox, 19:14 we sweat through it. 19:15 But also, you know, our lotions, 19:17 our perfumes that we put on 19:19 and, you know, what we wash our clothes in, 19:22 you know, and so that can affect people 19:24 especially autoimmune people that are already compromised. 19:28 The skin is the largest organ of the body. 19:30 Yeah. 19:32 It covers the most ground 19:35 and amazing amount of miles of capillaries 19:39 just for every, 19:40 I don't remember, for every square inch of skin 19:42 there's like 19 miles of vessels, 19:43 it's incredible, the system that we are. 19:49 Only God could make it. That's right. 19:53 Okay, let's go and rest for a moment. 19:55 And the beauty of it is our body 19:57 actually wants to be well. 19:59 Like when somebody quits smoking cigarettes, 20:01 immediately their lungs start to heal. 20:03 And so our body wants to regenerate, 20:05 it doesn't want to degenerate. 20:07 It wants to be restored to its original health. 20:09 Now obviously the aging process 20:11 is gonna take us all eventually, 20:13 but we can certainly give it a good swift kick 20:15 in the backside and try and keep ourselves 20:18 as healthy as possible. 20:19 I've often mentioned Jack LaLanne 20:21 who stayed incredibly healthy 20:23 and even though he has now passed 20:25 at the age of 96, he was so active 20:28 and so vibrant all the way from that time to the point 20:30 where he worked out the day before he died. 20:32 He died of pneumonia, 20:33 but he was so active and just so full of energy 20:37 as he sold his Jack LaLanne juicers 20:39 and he was so exited about the fruits and vegetables 20:41 you put in there. 20:42 Very positive. Very positive. 20:43 Okay, now we're gonna do is we're doing some toe raises. 20:46 We're gonna back up a little bit. 20:48 And now we're just gonna come all the way up on our toes 20:50 and back down again. 20:51 And up, and down. 20:56 So again, at home, 20:58 people oftentimes think that they don't 21:01 or they can't afford to go to a gym 21:02 or they don't have equipment, 21:04 and so they say, well, I can't exercise, 21:06 and we simplify it here. 21:08 Go get your chair, go get your towel. 21:10 We'll help you get through your workout. 21:14 And the good thing about the Body and Spirit program 21:17 is we have workouts for all levels. 21:19 So maybe at first, 21:21 they have to start with this workout, 21:22 but as they continue on, 21:24 they can get with some of the more intense workouts. 21:27 We'll do five more. 21:34 Okay, feels good, doesn't it? 21:37 Okay, now we're gonna have a seat back in our chair again. 21:42 Now we're gonna do a general stretch. 21:43 I just want to go ahead and grab the knee 21:45 and pull it up towards our chest. 21:48 This is a great stretch. 21:50 In the morning before you get out of bed, 21:52 if you have any back problem this is a real good one to do. 21:56 While you're laying down flat. 21:57 While you're laying down flat, pull it up. 21:59 I do that a lot. 22:00 And hold it for about 1520 seconds 22:02 and it can be the world of difference. 22:05 Some people might jump out of bed 22:06 without stretching 22:08 and all of a sudden their back grabs. 22:09 And if they simply do this, 22:11 it makes all the difference in the world. 22:12 Do it a couple of times and yeah. 22:16 So this is a great way to get your back ready for the day. 22:20 So you don't get out of your bed 22:23 and just start going, "Oh, my back hurts again." 22:29 Okay. 22:30 Now what we're gonna do is we're gonna bring one leg up 22:34 and we're gonna push down. 22:37 Now this is one where I'm a little bit tighter 22:39 and this is affecting the hips. 22:42 And that's an area 22:43 that I have to work on every now and then. 22:45 If I start to have a little bit of tension in my back, 22:47 I don't go after the hips so much, 22:50 I go after my hip flexors 22:52 and that makes all the difference in the world for me. 22:55 At a lot of times that's where it's at, 22:56 your back's tight up, 22:57 it actually it's tight up in the front pulling on your back. 23:03 And that's a good... 23:05 You can use a tennis ball to loosen that up too. 23:07 I like doing that. Okay. 23:10 Okay, only thing I ever do with tennis ball is hit them so... 23:13 Well, there's other uses. Okay. 23:19 All right, that feels good. 23:21 All right, now what we're gonna do 23:23 is we want to work on the torso as well, 23:26 because that's something that everybody wants to develop. 23:29 Okay, so we're gonna put our hands on our abdomen, 23:31 so we can focus on what we're doing here 23:34 and then we're gonna blow out 23:35 and contract our abs, 23:38 and then we're gonna just sit back 23:39 and push our back into the chair. 23:42 Very simple movement, but very effective. 23:45 Okay, blow out and back. 23:48 Your abdominal muscle does not cross the joint. 23:51 It simply has a four inch range of motion. 23:54 And so we're doing the entire abdominal contraction 23:57 just by doing this four inch range of motion. 24:00 And then we'll stretch it back out again. 24:02 You want to blow out, 24:04 'cause that encourages you to draw your abdomen in. 24:07 So often you go to athletic clubs 24:09 and you see men put on as much weight as possible 24:12 on an abdomen machine. 24:13 And you see their bellies just sticking way out there 24:15 and they are crunching large amounts of weight. 24:17 And they go, first of all, 24:19 you're encouraging your belly to stick out, 24:20 which it already does, and second of all, 24:22 you're using all sorts of weight 24:24 which is gonna encourage muscle development. 24:26 And so they're doing it 24:28 thinking they're gonna make their belly smaller. 24:30 The harsh reality is, 24:32 you're gonna do just the opposite, 24:33 it's gonna make their bellies bigger. 24:34 And women especially, yeah, 24:36 they don't like thick waist so... 24:38 Well, not too many people do. 24:40 Unless you want to play in the NFL 24:41 on the offensive line for the Seattle Seahawks, 24:43 I don't know that you're gonna want 24:45 to have a big wide abdomen. 24:47 Yeah. 24:49 But certainly, for a lot of the professional football players, 24:51 they need to have it. 24:53 In fact, Lou Ferrigno, a very famous bodybuilder 24:56 who tried to go and play professional football, 24:59 they said he was tremendously powerful, 25:01 but he didn't have a wide enough waist. 25:03 His waist was too small. It was only about 34 inches. 25:06 And they said you just didn't have the stability 25:09 because his waist was so small. 25:10 He needed actually a bigger belly 25:12 to play professional football. 25:13 Yeah. 25:16 We're looking good. We're almost done here. 25:20 Okay, now let's just do general stretch here, 25:23 where we just gonna turn our body 25:26 and look back the other direction. 25:33 All right, and let's go the other way. 25:35 You should feel that in the trunk area. 25:39 And it's a good way to cool down. 25:42 Okay, very good. 25:46 When people are suffering from various disorders, 25:50 it can seem like such a hopeless situation, 25:53 but that's sort of the thing 25:54 I love about having a walk with God. 25:57 Nothing is too big, nothing is hopeless. 25:59 God can help us overcome all the situations in our life. 26:03 It promises in the Bible 26:04 that all of things work together for good 26:06 for those who love the Lord. 26:07 It doesn't mean that it's all gonna be good, 26:10 but it will work together for good. 26:11 And remember 26:13 as our Lord Jesus Christ walked this earth, 26:15 the first thing He did was heal the people, 26:18 He took care of their physical needs 26:20 and that opened the door for Him to share the gospel, 26:23 the good news of everlasting life. 26:25 And that's what we try and do as well. 26:27 This is more than just a job for Lisa and myself. 26:30 This is a ministry for us. 26:32 We're out there helping people, out there on the frontlines, 26:36 helping them to change their lifestyle, 26:38 so they'd feel like a new person. 26:40 And as they start to feel good about themselves, 26:43 they want to know more about what you believe in, 26:45 what you think, and that opens the door 26:47 to share the good news of the gospel 26:50 and get some them exited 26:51 because we know that without that, 26:54 without the element of God in your life, 26:56 you're never gonna have the type of abundant health 26:58 that you can have. 27:00 And when people have that peaceful feeling, 27:02 the peace that passes understanding, 27:05 that's gonna do so much to help boost their immune system. 27:08 In fact, did you realize, 27:10 just going out and praising God, 27:12 singing hymns, and praising the Lord, 27:14 that also stimulates your immune response 27:18 or getting involved reading God's word, 27:20 creating again, creative activities, music, 27:23 listening to soothing uplifting music, 27:27 not the pulsing hard rock stuff 27:29 that's gonna cause irritation, but beautiful hymns 27:33 and so forth and classical music 27:34 will actually stimulate your immune system as well. 27:37 And remember, 27:38 we want do all things for the right reason. 27:40 Our call, scripture on this show is Philippians 4:13, 27:44 which says, "I can do all things," 27:46 not some things, but "all things through Christ 27:49 who strengthens me." 27:50 It's always a pleasure to work with you. 27:53 I'm so glad you've joined us again. 27:55 God bless you. 27:56 And we look forward to seeing you next time 27:58 on Body & Sprit. 28:00 God bless. |
