00:01 The following program is designed to demonstrate
00:04 simple workouts that you can use
00:05 to improve your health.
00:08 Be sure to consult your physician
00:10 before beginning any exercise program.
00:13 When it comes to exercise most people have a more
00:17 as better mentality. Throughout years,
00:19 the opposite is true. Stay tune
00:21 and find out why next on Body and Spirit.
00:24 Hello. I am Dick Nunez, Exercise Physiologist
00:55 and Principal of Miracle Meadows in Mountain
00:56 State Leadership Academy in West Virginia.
00:58 Welcome to Body and Spirit. During my 20 years
01:02 in the Athletic Club Industry, I saw lot
01:04 of people come through and workout
01:05 and basically just beat their heads against the walls.
01:07 They tried for this pursuit of physical fitness
01:10 and leaner, healthier body.
01:12 I know myself back when I was involved
01:14 in pro-bodybuilding. I used to train 7 days a week,
01:17 four hours a day. My best bench press
01:19 back then was around 455 pounds.
01:21 Over the years, I got into a whole different mentality.
01:25 In fact, now at the age of 46, I only train
01:28 15 to 20 minutes three days a week
01:30 and now I have a bench press up around 500.
01:32 And I do this now on a vegan diet
01:34 as apposed to my very high animal diet
01:36 back then, which would composed of a gallon
01:38 of milk half dozen eggs, and three pounds
01:41 of meat everyday. So, you can really get more out
01:43 of your exercise if you do less of it.
01:46 Because you do less, you get the recovery
01:48 time in. That's been my big key to success.
01:50 So when I go through a good hard workout
01:52 today and we will see that by doing less,
01:57 we will actually get more.
01:58 Helping me out today will be my son
02:00 Rick and also Will. Both students at
02:03 The Mountain State Leadership Academy.
02:08 Alright, we have our chairs here.
02:11 But we are not gonna sit down just yet.

26:58 Good. Alright, fellows. Well done.
27:00 The more is better philosophy in exercise
27:07 is not a healthy one because when you do too much,
27:09 you cutting your recovery time.
27:11 The largest muscle groups in the body,
27:14 the fast food fibers. Once are exerted, they need rest,
27:17 not such an important part of God's whole creation.
27:20 He set aside the Seventh Day
27:22 because he knew that there is a time
27:23 were we actually needed just to rest our body
27:26 and that time period helps us to recover.
27:28 That's the same thing with exercise.
27:30 Work hard. Do your best, you can.
27:33 But don't worry about going for so much.
27:36 Truly in the world of exercise less is really better.
27:39 As long as, we are rest, it's intensified,
27:42 well thought out exercise.
27:44 Remember do it for the right reason.
27:46 Philippians 4:13 says, I can do all things
27:49 through Christ who strengthens happy exercise.
27:51 I will look forward to see you next time.
