00:02 The following program is designed to demonstrate
00:04 simple workouts that you can use to improve your health.
00:08 Be sure to consult your physician
00:10 before beginning any exercise program.
00:15 Many young girls today are suffering
00:16 from eating disorders Anorexia and Bulimia
00:20 have taken the country by storm.
00:22 We wanna see what we can do about reversing
00:23 that through proper lifestyle and exercise.
00:26 Stay tune for Body & Spirit, next.
00:58 Hello, I'm Dick Nunez,
00:59 exercise physiologist and principal of Miracle Meadows
01:02 at Mountain State Leadership Academy in West Virginia.
01:05 Welcome to Body & Spirit.
01:07 Big problem we have today is with eating disorders
01:10 specially with teenage girls.
01:11 They have an idea of how they want to look
01:14 and they think the only way by doing that is by starving
01:16 themselves or causing themselves to purge
01:18 through guilt and they can do that either by forcing
01:21 themselves to vomit or also purge by exercising.
01:25 The problem still is the same,
01:26 it's a very difficult thing to overcome.
01:28 We wanna go over some steps about what we can do
01:31 and a big part of that also has to do with exercise.
01:33 God wants us to have an abundant life.
01:35 He doesn't want us to go through
01:36 this self destructive mode and there is victory
01:39 if we simply claim it.
01:40 So we're gonna get started now,
01:41 and helping me today will be Kim and Madison.
01:44 Kim is a student at Miracle Meadows,
01:45 and Madison at Mountain State Leadership Academy.
01:50 And we're gonna warm up here.
01:51 We're gonna have really fun work out today,
01:52 at least I'm gonna have fun.
01:54 Okay, let's go ahead and loosen up.
01:56 We're gonna swing the arms around going step back
01:58 just a little bit more there Madison, there we go.
02:01 This is just simply for warm up purposes
02:05 to get the muscles flowing, get the blood going
02:08 and also to help with flexibility
02:10 of the shoulder area.
02:12 I've talked to many people and they first saw
02:14 the program and they could get hardly get their arms up,
02:17 and now they have good range of motion.
02:19 Well, let's go the other direction
02:20 up and around to the front.
02:26 First when they do is, they get pop, pop, crack grind,
02:29 crack, crack, and then pretty soon it goes away.
02:33 Okay, we're gonna get in a prayerful position here,
02:37 have the elbows up.
02:39 We're gonna press hard from here.
02:41 We're gonna bring it across to our body
02:44 and we're gonna come back the other direction,
02:47 and bring it across.
02:50 Want to have a good steady push the whole time.
02:57 Okay, we're gonna do ten more each way,
02:59 Kim why don't you count them for me.
03:01 You're not to count it out loud, but just keep track,
03:03 so if I ask you where we are at.
03:05 In our society today there are lot of self destructive
03:08 objective behaviors that take place
03:10 that totally engross somebody's mind
03:12 where they will get into something
03:14 that they can't control on their own
03:16 and it's something that they will be very often
03:18 to re-offend in just like the alcoholic who still battles
03:21 at even rest of the life
03:23 even though they may have recovered.
03:25 Some of you fights eating disorders
03:26 will basically always battle it, it's just whether
03:28 they can keep their mind in a proper channel.
03:30 How many more we got?
03:32 We're done. Okay, now we're gonna take this way.
03:35 We're gonna press out.
03:38 And we're gonna pull back.
03:40 Now we're gonna do 15 more like that Kim.
03:45 All the way out-- All the way out, yeah, that's right.
03:47 We wanna go all the way out and pull back in.
03:52 Also the thing we find is people who
03:54 deal with people with eating disorders,
03:55 they'll say just get over it.
03:57 Oh, yeah just get over it, and start eating again.
04:01 It's not that easy when somebody battles
04:03 a disorder like that, they know
04:06 logically they hould be eating.
04:07 But the reality is they can't get themselves to do it.
04:11 How more we're at Kim?
04:13 Twenty. Okay, good.
04:16 Now we're gonna reach back,
04:17 we're gonna stretch the chest,
04:20 leaning back a little bit.
04:22 Try and bring your shoulder blades
04:24 together and then come across
04:26 and pull your shoulder blades apart.
04:32 All right, now we're gonna do it again, back,
04:35 stretch the chest
04:38 and bring it across.
04:45 Okay Kim, if you would get the towels for us.
04:51 One for each of us here.
04:55 Okay. Now if you can manage to tear that in two,
04:58 you can keep the towel, all right, good, good deal.
05:02 Let's put the arms up over the head,
05:04 we're gonna come to the side and back over.
05:10 Bring it back and forth like that.
05:13 I knew one woman back
05:14 when I was working at athletic club industry
05:16 who actually prayed to God
05:18 that he would take her appetite away and basically
05:21 what she did is prayed herself into anorexic state.
05:24 And I said to her, your prayer
05:25 got answered but in a wrong way,
05:27 and possibly by the wrong power,
05:29 because God does not want us in a self destructive
05:31 behavior like that, but people will do anything.
05:35 Automatically when we think it's time to loose weight,
05:37 they automatically think starve, let's not eat as much,
05:40 let's skip breakfast and that's the worse thing
05:42 somebody could possibly do.
05:45 Okay, let's go five more each way.
05:49 One, two, three,
05:58 four, one more time and five, good.
06:03 Now we're gonna take it from the front.
06:05 We're gonna go up and down,
06:09 up and down.
06:13 Okay, keep going,
06:15 pull the towel apart as you are doing it.
06:17 We'll do twenty of these,
06:21 little bit slower, pull it apart hard the whole time.
06:27 Seven, eight,
06:30 good, nine, ten.
06:36 If somebody is battling an eating disorder,
06:38 one of the best things they can do is get up
06:40 and have a good healthy breakfast.
06:42 Because that will stimulate the metabolism properly.
06:44 And exercise is excellent for helping people
06:47 with eating disorders, because it gives them ability
06:50 to feel good about themselves.
06:52 The endorphins that are released by exercise
06:54 and the feeling of well being soon starts to take over
06:56 the self destructive behavior of an eating disorder.
07:02 How many more, Kim?
07:05 Oh, you've lost count. Madison?
07:07 I didn't count.
07:08 Okay, all right, I got an honest answer anyway.
07:12 I'm sorry. Okay, now we're gonna take it
07:15 with one arm at a time and we are gonna hold on to one end,
07:18 and we are gonna raise up and pull back down.
07:21 Okay, so you can have your, grab it so your palm is down,
07:25 Okay, so you're having like this.
07:28 You gonna do right hand first,
07:30 okay and raise up and pull back down.
07:35 Make them turn down, there you go.
07:37 Up and pull down and come more to the center.
07:43 Here we go, up out to side and down.
07:48 We get it, okay.
07:50 Don't worry about it.
07:54 We don't use professional exercise people
07:56 on this show, so we're just fine.
08:01 In fact often times it helps people immensely.
08:03 In fact I've had people comment to me,
08:05 its so nice to see that the people you are working
08:07 with don't have an all down perfect,
08:09 so they don't feel so bad if they,
08:11 you know, do something little bit wrong.
08:16 Seven more.
08:21 Good, you're looking good.
08:25 And two more.
08:30 All right, let's switch over to the other side.
08:35 Again we want to grab it,
08:37 so that our hand is in like that
08:40 and then we are gonna raise up, and pull back down.
08:44 You supply the resistance,
08:45 you can really make it hard if you want to.
08:50 We had one person last year on the show,
08:51 he has never, they were like in this stiff mark.
08:55 I said, we might want to go little faster,
08:56 we will never get through.
09:00 It's amazing how much exercise
09:02 you can get by just using a simple hand towel
09:05 or by just using your own body as a resistance tool.
09:10 And lot of people do that,
09:11 they fight against themselves all the time.
09:13 Unfortunately, it's in a negative way.
09:15 This is in a good way.
09:17 Okay, we've done 20.
09:20 Okay, almost maybe.
09:21 Do three more. One, two, three, good.
09:27 Now we are gonna take our towel
09:29 and we are gonna drape it over our thumb this way.
09:33 We're gonna grab hold of it.
09:34 We are going to do curls with it, and down.
09:37 Okay, I want you to do 20 of those.
09:40 Okay, just a little bit shorter on it, there you go.
09:47 We always want to do full range of motion,
09:49 looks like if we're doing just fine, keep it up.
09:55 Nine, ten, ten more.
09:58 One, and two, and three,
10:04 four, five, six,
10:09 seven, eight, nine,
10:14 one more time and ten.
10:16 Switch over to the other side.
10:19 Okay, and let's go. Up, good.
10:29 This is quite a few repetitions
10:31 we are doing here, but that's okay.
10:32 We can do 20 repetitions and still get excellent benefit
10:36 and then people actually feel like they are not
10:38 doing the bulk up type workout which we're not doing anyway.
10:42 But if we do the high repetitions,
10:44 it will helps to burn a lot of calories,
10:46 get us some muscle tone we're looking for.
10:49 And once again gives us that feeling of wellbeing
10:51 that we're looking for to try and reverse the condition
10:53 like osteoporosis or bulimia.
10:58 Okay. Now we're gonna do the triceps,
11:00 we're going to do them in a similar way.
11:02 You're gonna use your own
11:04 body to resist, you're gonna grab like this,
11:07 you're gonna push down and pull it back up,
11:09 making yourself resist on the way back up.
11:12 Good, let's do 20 of those.
11:14 Excellent, good job, Madison, that looks good.
11:20 All the way down.
11:24 Kim, have you ever thought in your life
11:25 sometime, or you thought I need to lose some weight,
11:27 or maybe I should just stop eating.
11:29 Yes. You ever thought that Madison,
11:30 you have ever gone to that point? Yeah.
11:32 That's a very typical natural response people have.
11:36 In reality, it's a worse thing they could do.
11:39 Okay, keep going, let's try to get 20 on each way.
11:43 Best thingthey can do is start eating a lot of whole grains,
11:46 fruits and vegetables,
11:47 and get rid of food that is bring negative
11:50 and calorie intake like the refine foods,
11:54 and the pastries, and the donuts
11:56 and all the candies and pops,
11:58 and things like that the people are taking in.
12:01 Okay, is that 20. Okay, switch over to the other side.
12:07 Here, we're gonna take your left hand
12:09 and right hand is above,
12:10 you're gonna push down and come up.
12:13 You just did left hand; you just left,
12:15 okay we'll do the right.
12:21 Okay, down. You are fine, good.
12:27 Okay, keep going.
12:32 How many have you done, Madison?
12:33 I didn't count.
12:34 Okay, let's do ten more.
12:40 Two, three, four, five,
12:47 six, seven, eight, nine,
12:52 one more time and ten, good.
12:55 All right, Kim, is going to
12:56 toss our towels off to the side there.
12:59 Now, we're gonna stretch out.
13:01 What we wanna do is, we wanna bring our arm up and across.
13:05 So you feel it stretched into your shoulder, good, good.
13:09 We're gonna hold that for 10 more seconds.
13:14 Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
13:19 now switch over, snap crackle, pop, huh?
13:25 Hold, ten more seconds.
13:28 One, two, three, four, five,
13:34 six, seven, eight, nine, ten, okay.
13:38 Now, arm up over the head,
13:39 grab hold of the elbow and pull, good.
13:44 Good and feel it in through the side, good.
13:47 Ten more seconds.
13:51 Three, four, five, six, seven,
13:55 eight, nine, and ten, switch.
14:02 Okay, anytime you stretch, you don't want to bounce,
14:04 you wanna keep it steady,
14:06 as you pull, there are comfort range,
14:09 you don't wanna make it a painful experience.
14:15 Okay, and that's good.
14:17 All right, just relax for a moment,
14:18 let's get a few breaths, in through the nose,
14:22 out through the mouth, in through the nose,
14:26 out through the mouth.
14:28 One more time, up and out.
14:33 Okay, we're gonna do some lunges today.
14:37 I think you both know how to those.
14:38 We're gonna cross our arms across the chest
14:41 and we're gonna lunge out,
14:43 put hands on the hips that will be easier.
14:45 Hands on the hips, okay and step out,
14:48 down back, okay switch.
14:51 We gonna try and do 20 on each side.
14:56 It's two. Okay Kim, I want you to count.
15:03 There is a great promise in the Bible
15:04 in First Corinthians 50 and 57 that talks about
15:07 that we can have victory through Jesus Christ
15:10 if we simply claim that.
15:12 When we deal with something like anorexia and bulimia
15:15 truly there is a spiritual battle in there
15:17 that we need to be aware of, because we're battling
15:19 against ourselves and once when we get to that point,
15:22 then it's really something we have to turn a Lord about.
15:25 Even the programs like alcohol, it's anonymous.
15:27 Try and get people to look at a higher power
15:29 and when we deal with eating disorders,
15:31 truly that's what we need to find.
15:33 But as in the athletic club industry,
15:34 I saw so many women who are extremely fit,
15:37 but they would go out and party, drink a lot of alcohol,
15:40 eat a lot of bad food
15:41 and they come in and purge with exercise.
15:43 They spend two to three hours working out,
15:46 they were just constantly working out.
15:47 It becomes a very destructive behavioral pattern
15:50 and eventually it will cost us our health greatly
15:53 and can even cost us our life.
15:55 Now you girlsare starting walk right offthe platform there.
15:57 I know. Yeah, we used to do across the gym.
16:01 Yeah, you're used to do across the gym,
16:02 now we do our power lunge walks across the gym
16:05 and so that's they are used to doing.
16:09 Okay, is that 20? Excellent.
16:11 We went up and up and over.
16:13 Okay, now we're gonna put your hands on your hips again,
16:15 I want you to just to bring your leg back
16:18 like so, we do 20
16:21 and then we're gonna switch over the other side.
16:26 Good. Try and keep the balance up, bring it up, good.
16:31 This is a good one for the gluteus maximus,
16:34 also you feel a little bit in the hamstring again.
16:36 The lunges are an excellent one for the gluteus area.
16:42 Good, three more, 18, 19,
16:48 good and 20, okay switch.
16:53 Help it, no one want to slip.
16:55 Balance is a big part of it.
16:57 I wanna make sure we--
16:58 keep ourselves in one spot there.
17:08 Good, eight more.
17:10 One, and two, and three, four,
17:15 five, six, seven, and eight.
17:20 Okay, lay down on your sides on the floor there
17:23 with your heads up that direction.
17:29 Okay, I want you to grab
17:30 a hold of an ankle and pull back.
17:33 Feel the stretch in your quadriceps.
17:38 You feel that Kim?

17:49 six, seven, eight, nine and ten switch.
17:56 We'll go over the other side.
18:01 Okay, you're gonna lay on your power back there.

18:10 One, two, three, four, five,
18:15 six, seven, eight, nine
18:20 and ten, lay on your back.
18:23 I want you to bring one knee up
18:24 toward your chest and pull it up, good.
18:29 Pull, pull, hold for ten seconds.

18:44 Just one, okay same leg, now pull towards you.
18:49 Good, good, excellent.
18:51 Now we get a little more of a exaggerated stretch
18:53 on that will give just point your knee to the chest.

19:04 pull that knee to your chest.
19:10 Should be feeling that in your hip

19:56 but you're not gonna get there.
19:57 Okay crunch up, good and down.
20:00 Okay, now, opposite, good.
20:05 The crunch is only about a four,
20:07 five, six range of motion exercise.
20:10 By doing just a little bit of modification
20:12 getting over twist in there, we're also bring in
20:15 the external bleak area.
20:18 People, oftentimes, call them the love handles
20:20 if they get too enlarged with adipose tissue.
20:25 The reality is you cannot spot reduce anyway
20:28 But you can help keep that area firm

26:42 our young and even some women
26:44 that are older who are still by [...26.45] condition.
26:48 We can have victory over these things.
26:49 We also have to remember that the victory
26:51 is gonna come through God.
26:53 He's gonna give us a power to overcome
26:54 as we look at having a whole new life.
26:57 It's very advantageous to get in a good lifestyle program
27:00 getting rid of the fine foods eating natural foods
27:03 make sure you have a good breakfast drink a lot of water
27:06 trying get out in the good fresh air.
27:09 Getting lot's of sunshine.
27:10 Its very helpful it's a good mood all through.
27:12 When you feel good about yourself.
27:14 You not gonna be looking to just show yourself.
27:16 A young girl who came after our wellness program.
27:18 She was only seventeen,
27:19 and she was locked in and battle for bulimia.
27:21 I made her work extremely hard
27:23 so she could start developing her body.
27:25 She realized that by doing that and by then going
27:28 on purging he was gonna be totally counterproductive.
27:30 So she was able to overcome the battle of bulimia
27:33 by looking at doing positive things for her life.
27:36 Now as she doing in a physical sense but most importantly
27:38 she did in the spiritual sense as well.
27:41 She did all for the glory of God
27:42 and prayed the God to bless her efforts and he did.
27:45 Remembering the promise of Phillipians 4:13,
27:48 "That I can do all things through Christ
27:50 in good strength and spirit."
27:52 God bless and look forward to see you next time.
