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 Any successful exercise program takes a willingness to change. 00:18 That's what we're gonna discuss next on Body and Spirit. 00:50 Hello, I'm Dick Nunez, 00:52 exercise physiologist and principal of Miracle Meadows 00:54 in Mountain State Leadership Academy in West Virginia. 00:57 Welcome to Body and Spirit. 00:59 During my career working with exercise, 01:01 I found a lot of people that are unwilling to change. 01:04 They're stuck in their ways if you will. 01:06 Well, I've seen a lot of character virtues 01:07 that have been listed in the Bible, 01:09 but being stuck in your ways is not one of them. 01:11 In fact, I find it very sad when somebody 01:13 says that they are that way. 01:15 I find that often times when people come 01:17 to our program and lot change, 01:19 some will come kicking and screaming. 01:21 Many times just the wife who has been-- 01:24 she has been challenged by the fact that 01:26 she needs to change her lifestyle 01:27 and she wants her husband to come along. 01:29 No way, they don't want to come. 01:31 I remember a couple came to our Wellness Program 01:33 in the Black Hills a few years ago. 01:35 he wanted to go on Alaska Cruise, 01:37 she wanted to go to the Wellness Program. 01:39 He came kicking and screaming. By the time--the time was up, 01:42 he had been totally convicted that 01:44 a lifestyle change is very important. 01:46 And now he was a zealeth [13150] for going out there 01:49 and telling other people they need to change as well. 01:51 Well, I had another couple come out. He was diabetic. 01:53 The wife wanted to come. 01:55 He was coming along for the ride, 01:56 but while he was there his diabetes totally reversed 01:59 and he thought, wow. 02:00 With such great results 02:02 why would I wanna go back to my old ways? 02:04 So it really does take a willingness to change. 02:06 Sometimes people even in their 80s and 90s are willing 02:09 to change their lifestyle to try and make what little time 02:11 they have left of the greatest value. 02:14 So we're gonna talk a little bit about that today 02:16 while we get into our exercise program. 02:18 I believe we're ready to start. 02:19 Helping me out today will be Kim and Madison. 02:22 Kim is a student of Miracle Meadows 02:24 and Madison at the Mountain State Leadership Academy. 02:28 Thank you. 02:31 Okay, let's go ahead and have a seat. 02:36 We're gonna reach back and start warming up. 02:39 And squeeze together and back, and squeeze and back. 02:44 Just doing as lightly as a warm up. 02:53 And let's go five more. 02:55 One, two, three, 03:00 four, and five. Good. 03:04 Squeeze the hands together in the middle. 03:06 Let's turn and press out and draw back. 03:10 Press out and draw back. 03:13 Press out and draw back. 03:15 Just keep going. 03:18 What I find is people get preconceived notions 03:20 of how much they should do, what they should do, 03:23 what they should eat. 03:24 And when somebody comes in with light 03:26 that would actually help them, 03:27 they become resistant because they are set in their ways, 03:31 they don't want to do anything new. 03:32 They only want to hear what they want to hear, 03:34 and that's so sad. 03:36 Even when we study the Bible, 03:37 we should be always looking for truth not try 03:39 and prove what we already believe. 03:41 Let's go few more. 03:42 One, two, three, now let's go down, press. 03:49 Keep the hands pushing together. 03:51 And often times there are people who think 03:53 they don't even need to exercise, because they say, 03:55 well, I have a healthy, active life. 03:57 I remember a story of a man who was a stockbroker 04:00 in New York on Wall Street and he was very successful, 04:03 multimillionaire, very fit. 04:05 He got tired of the-- of the doggy-dog world out there 04:09 and decided he was going to go out to Montana 04:12 and buy a farm and become a rancher. 04:14 A few years later one of his good friends 04:16 went out there and saw him, 04:17 he couldn't believe how fat he was. 04:19 He was working all day long, 04:20 but he had stopped doing a regular exercise program 04:23 and he had gotten fat. 04:24 Okay, let's bring the hands up and press up and down, 04:27 and up and down, up and down, 04:32 up and down, up and down. 04:37 Good.
