00:30 Hello my name is Casio Jones and
00:33 you are watching Action 4 Life. 00:35 For today's workout you are going to need your Physio-ball 00:37 and going to grab your dumb bells. 00:39 We are going to show you some cool exercises, but first 00:42 lunch, do you know what to eat for lunch? 00:44 Do you understand what lunch is? 00:46 Well in our segment we are going to show you today will 00:49 give you an insight on lunch and if you are making 00:51 the right choices. 00:52 But remember at this time I want you to do your warm-up, 00:56 do some sort of jumping jacks, full body movement, move 00:59 around your house and get yourself all worked up. 01:02 Let's go and check out this lunch bit. 01:04 Check it out: 01:32 We are here in the kitchen, Christina and myself, 01:35 and we are going to continue to talk about when we went 01:38 through the grocery store and grabbed some side items. 01:40 We had some brown rice and Mac and cheese. 01:44 Do you know there is a lot of people out there who just 01:48 consume Mac and cheese just for lunch? 01:50 Sure! There is a lot of guys and this would be their lunch. 01:55 It's quick, quick and easy and they think 01:57 they are eating well. 01:58 An average serving size of Mac and cheese is about a cup. 02:02 And that contains about 6 g of sugar, 02:06 so a cup is 6 g of sugar. 02:09 But that is only a cup, an average guy would eat the whole 02:14 box which is about three servings. 02:16 So now we are talking about 18 g of sugar. 02:20 Which would be about right here. 02:25 That much sugar, it doesn't seem like a whole lot. 02:27 No! I cook my Mac, I eat my Mac and feel like I'm getting 02:35 thirsty, but I want to be healthy. 02:37 So I'm going to grab my vitamin water, 02:40 remember my vitamin water? 02:42 It's water with vitamins, but when we look at this I am 02:47 going to drink the whole container, I know I'm going to 02:50 drink the whole container, what person sits down and drinks 02:53 half of a container of a bottle of juice? 02:55 Or a bottle of vitamin water? 02:57 This has 2.5 servings which is equivalent to 32 g of sugar. 03:04 Which is right here, once again, why don't you take it down? 03:12 I'll think about it! 03:14 It's amazing that you won't throw that down, 03:16 but we will chug this down. 03:17 Alright we have our vitamin water and we had our Mac and 03:23 cheese, I'm full now and I'm done with lunch. 03:26 Let's see how much we actually really consumed. 03:28 Let's take our 18 g of sugar, which was the Mac and cheese. 03:34 Let's go ahead and grab our vitamin water. 03:41 Here we are here, here's our lunch, enjoy, 50 g of sugar. 03:46 Yummy, so when you are at home are we making good choices 03:51 at lunch? What do you think? 03:53 We thought it was good. Yeah! 03:56 In the end it was a lot of sugar. It is! 04:00 That's right, it is so important in understanding what you 04:03 keep putting in your body. 04:04 Okay I'm ready to get started in our workout today. 04:07 With me I have my friend and partner in crime, Lynne. 04:11 How are you doing? I'm doing great! 04:16 When I said partner in crime that is just an expression 04:20 to say that she is my good friend, it is not like we are 04:24 doing anything we shouldn't be doing. 04:25 Okay because exercising is fun, right? Right! 04:27 Our first exercise for today, because we did our warm-up 04:30 like you did your warm-up while watching our story. 04:33 Were going to do on the mat, bring your mat here 04:36 in the center. 04:37 I'm going to show everybody at home how to do this exercise. 04:39 This is a Casio exercise, I guess you call it that because 04:42 we do not have a name for it. 04:43 You put your feet here and I will get your 04:45 dumb bells for you. 04:46 This is going to work, grab your dumb bells right there. 04:50 She's going to have her legs straight on the Physio-ball. 04:55 In this position she's going to hold her lower body, 04:57 it has to stabilize at the hips, and her abdominals, 05:00 and her legs, stabilize this ball in one position. 05:03 She is going to open her arms out to the side and down 05:05 to work her chest as a fly. 05:07 Then she's going to keep her arms straight and raise her 05:10 upper torso up. 05:11 That will work her abdominal muscles. 05:13 We are going to fly and crunch up. 05:15 Once again the legs are actually working even though 05:18 they are not moving, they are involved. 05:19 Okay, I'm going to get in position too. 05:21 Don't start counting yet. 05:23 Oh don't worry I will wait. 05:25 You will wait! 05:34 Alright here we go. 05:37 Alright let's go to work, let's knock out 12. 05:44 Here's one, two, three, 05:55 four, five, six, 06:06 seven, I'm feeling these in my chest, do you feel them 06:08 in your chest? Yep! 06:10 Eight, it is important that you us appropriate weights. 06:12 Not a heavyweight because your arms are straight. 06:14 We don't want to put too much strain on our shoulders. 06:17 Two more, one more. 06:26 Excellent good job! 06:27 How did you feel with those? 06:33 Let's get our mats out of the way and go into 06:36 our active rest. 06:37 Part of our program, what we do is we do something that 06:41 conditions our muscles and now we are going to do something to 06:43 condition our body and get our heart moving. 06:45 I call these the Grouchos, it's like a jump lunge and 06:49 shuffle, let's call it a lunge shuffle. 06:52 Let's start with our right leg forward and we are going to 06:54 shuffle forward. 07:01 Isn't Groucho like this? 07:11 How are you feeling? I'm doing great! 07:13 Now if you can't move your arms just move your feet. 07:20 That's a good job. That's a lot of work! 07:24 It is a lot of work because you are moving your legs and 07:26 your arms and you are moving. 07:28 Thus active rest, and it's legal to say that, active rest. 07:32 That's a oxymoron!

I'm okay. 14:10 Excellent, good job. 14:12 Here's the time where if you have any questions just send 14:17 us an e-mail at: 14:32 We had e-mail from Angelique. 14:35 Angelique is stationed at Fort Bragg's, Fort Knox. 14:44 She had this question, hey Casio one of my brothers has went 14:48 into the military and he came back and looked so different. 14:52 He was like more stronger. 14:55 She said is it possible to change fat into muscle? 14:58 Have you ever heard that before? Absolutely, all the time! 15:01 But here's the problem, you can't take fat and 15:05 turn fat into muscle. 15:06 Imagine you have a bottle and you're bottle has water and 15:10 oil mixed together. 15:11 You shake them up and you see a separation. 15:14 Have you ever seen that? Yeah! 15:16 The thing of it is they do not mix. 15:20 Fat and muscles don't mix so you have to do the appropriate 15:23 exercises which is aerobic exercise at a certain intensity 15:26 and that causes your body to burn the fat. 15:30 When you do your muscle training your resistance training, 15:33 that stimulates your muscles. 15:34 A lot of times people sat to do the exercises and say that 15:37 they don't like working out because it make me bigger. 15:39 The problem is they might be spending a lot more time 15:42 lifting the weights developing the muscle and not doing enough 15:44 to get rid of the body fat. 15:46 Not enough cardio. Not enough cardio yeah! 15:47 Alright our break is over let's get back to work, 15:50 are you ready?
