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 Today we're gonna do a workout especially for 00:17 women. If your men think that will be too easy, 00:20 guess again, stay tuned for Body & Spirit. 00:52 Hello I am Dick Nunez, Exercise Physiologist 00:54 and Principal of Miracle Meadows 00:55 and The Mountain State Leadership Academy 00:57 in West Virginia. Welcome to Body & Spirit. 01:00 Today we're gonna be doing a workout for women, 01:02 women can do incredible amounts of physical ability, 01:05 if they simply get into regular workout pattern. 01:08 In some of the Ms. Fitness contests, 01:10 now you see women that easily pump out one hand 01:12 pushups keeping their body perfectly level. 01:15 Women can do pull-ups. 01:16 I had a little 15 year girl, 01:18 I used to train, who was a 123 pounds, 01:20 she could bench press 215, she was so strong and 01:23 she made the other sophomore boys, 01:25 they were training at the athletic club, I was at, 01:27 embarrassed to be in her presence 01:28 while she worked out. In fact they would never 01:31 even ask her out for a day because they didn't wanna 01:32 ask somebody out who could bench press 01:34 more then they could. And some of these boys, 01:36 who weigh 70 to 80 pounds more then her. 01:38 So girls can do a lot more then they once start possible, 01:42 the Chinese women international volleyball team 01:43 once posted an average vertical jump of 42 inches. 01:46 You can't tell these girls that they can't jump 01:49 because they are girls. I had a girl was 5'.7'', 01:52 who could jump up and grab the rim, 01:54 and she was a blonde-haired, fair skinned girl. 01:57 And some of the African American guys 01:58 on the men's team that I was training, said to her, 02:01 how do you jump so high and she said, you ever seen 02:03 that movie white men can jump and they said yes, 02:05 but it didn't say anything about women. 02:07 So, women can do a lot more then they 02:10 really think they can if they just focus in, 02:12 but obviously women also have some special needs 02:15 that they wanna focus on and that's we're gonna do today. 02:18 I think we're ready to go, helping me out today 02:20 will be Britney, my daughter and also Christy. 02:24 Britney is a student at Mount State Academy 02:28 in the elementary school and Christy is a student 02:31 at Miracle Meadows.
