00:02 The following program is designed to demonstrate
00:04 simple workouts that you can use to improve your health.
00:09 Be sure to consult your physician before
00:10 beginning any exercise program.
00:14 If you feel like your metabolism needs to boost,
00:16 you're probably right. And all things you
00:19 can do. Stay tune and find out
00:21 next on Body and Spirit.
00:48 Hello, I'm Dick Nunez, Wellness Director of
00:50 the Black Hills Health and Education Center.
00:52 Welcome to Body and Spirit.
00:53 Over my career, I've people complain
00:57 often about. Well, I'm not as young as I
00:59 used to be, so my metabolism is going down.
01:01 Well, certainly aging is a reality that we
01:04 almost face. But we can actually keep our
01:07 metabolism boosted for much longer then
01:09 what you're originally may have thought.
01:12 So, exercise will play a big part of that.
01:13 Because, the more muscle you have,
01:15 obviously the more energy you can had be burning.
01:18 If you have two couple of cars, one
01:20 just a Bourbon and the other one is Honda Accord.
01:22 Obviously, the Honda is gonna take or give
01:25 much better gas mileage. But you are not gonna
01:27 wanna total trailer with your Honda Accord,
01:29 you can while you use a Bourbon.
01:31 But this Bourbon is gonna be burning a lot
01:32 more energy and so that's the same thing
01:35 with your body. As you get stronger,
01:37 you get more muscle. You're gonna be
01:39 burning more energy, your metabolism
01:40 will be higher. But if you get weaker,
01:43 you let your muscles go.
01:44 You'll start atrophying, then your metabolism
01:47 is gonna go down, and if you go on a lot of
01:49 calorie restricting diets that's really
01:52 gonna shoot your metabolism.
01:53 So, we're gonna talk more about that,
01:54 as we get into our program. I believe
01:57 we're ready to get started here, helping me out
01:59 today will me Kyle from the Black Hills and
02:02 Luther who goes to Tamarack Springs Academy
02:05 in Polebridge, Montana,
02:07 and we're gonna start by warming up.
02:09 We're gonna do some arm circles to
02:11 the front, way up and around,
02:13 way up and around. Wanna get
02:15 those shoulders loose, for those at home,
02:18 if you can't get your arms all the way up
02:20 and around. That's okay, just do it
02:22 what you can. If you feel a lot of popping
02:25 and so forth as long as that popping
02:27 is in painful. You should be alright,
02:29 if you do start to feel some discomfort
02:31 either stop, ease up the motion
02:35 and if you really having lot of problems
02:37 I would certainly seek out medical advice
02:39 to find out what is wrong with your shoulder.
02:42 Alright and now let's go back the other way,
02:46 up and around, like we're doing a back stroke.
02:49 I can't swim, but I can't do this.
02:55 Actually, I might be able to swim, but I
02:56 sink like a rock. So, that doesn't help me
02:59 any. Okay, up and around, up and around,
03:03 up and around, five more times and stretch it
03:08 back and 2 and 3 and 4, one more and 5.
03:16 Well, to stimulate the metabolism,
03:20 we have to built some muscle
03:22 and the best thing I can think about
03:23 for building some muscle, during a show like
03:25 this is pushups. Hit the deck fellows,
03:30 okay what I want you to do, is get into regular
03:32 pushup position. We're gonna do 20 of them,
03:35 okay ready, down and up and down follow my count, up,
03:41 down and up, down.
03:44 There is 4, down and 5, down and 6, good form,
03:51 down and 7, down and 8, down 9, down 10,
03:58 ten more 1 and 2, good strength and push and push.
04:07 Down to the last 5, there is 1, 2, 3, 4,
04:17 one more hold it at the top. Now, put your knees
04:21 on the ground, okay keep your body straight.
04:23 We're gonna do some more, down and up, and up
04:28 and down, and up and down, and up
04:33 and down, and up, very good, keep going, down
04:37 and up, and down and up, five more times
04:43 and up and down and up. One last time push hard,
04:49 common guys, get up, get up. Okay, we're gonna
04:52 have to stop. Alright, very good,
04:56 alright go and stand and up.
04:58 You feel those. Oh! Yeah. Okay,
05:00 now for those at home, you might
05:03 have seen that even by going to the knees,
05:05 Which are modified pushups; I don't call
05:07 them women's pushups. Because I've seen
05:09 women do one arm pushups and all sorts
05:12 of variations and certainly they can do a lot of
05:14 typical military style. But when you do pushups,
05:17 if you do the regular ones and then going to
05:19 modified one. You can even take the fatigue point
05:22 to even a deeper level, and right now
05:24 both these guys metabolisms are now
05:26 boosted and because of what they've done.
05:29 Hopefully, that would be little stronger,
05:31 little healthier from the activity they just have
05:33 accomplished. But now, if I need to stretch
05:36 those muscles and catch their breathe.
05:38 So, let's put the hands behind the head
05:41 and push the elbows way back and stretch your chest
05:45 area, which you just stimulated. Okay,
05:49 then cross over, pull your shoulder blades apart,
05:52 stretch. Okay, hands behind the head,
06:01 push way back, push back and bring it crossed,
06:14 very good. Okay, let's do some, we're gonna do some
06:20 back action now and what we're gonna do,
06:22 is we're gonna reach back and we're gonna
06:25 pull over in front, reach back
06:28 and pull over and back and pull over,
06:34 and we go back stretch your back and pull over.
06:38 You guys going, keep going, I want 20 of those.
06:40 Alright, go and go back Luther.
06:42 Common stretch in through here, as you go back,
06:45 way back, feel it stretch and back you feel it stretch.
06:53 The chest and the upper back was the major
06:55 muscles of the upper body, and we stimulate
06:57 those major muscles, it's gonna have a
06:59 metabolic boost and what else we're gonna
07:02 find is. You know somebody like Kyle, who
07:05 is fairly lean. He has got a very high metabolism
07:08 so I mean he is very effective,
07:10 and being a burning fat. So we call him
07:14 a better butter burner that's. As he,
07:16 is not gonna get fat anytime soon,
07:18 I'm sure. How many we are on there?
07:20 I don't know, we have to do more.
07:22 more. Okay, alright let's go and stop.
07:23 Now, let's reach out and let's pull back
07:26 and reach out and pull, way out and pull.
07:32 Reach out and pull, this is number five,
07:36 I want twenty of those. Now bend over
07:38 little more, bend, bend, bend, bend, bend.
07:41 There you go, head up, okay and smile,
07:47 enjoy yourself, pull it. You wanna act like,
07:49 you're pulling a weight. You don't wanna just go
07:51 through the motion, you wanna pull, you wanna
07:54 squeeze those muscles back there. Squeeze
07:56 the muscles, pull them way out, squeeze
07:59 and way out, squeeze back, way out,
08:02 squeeze back, way out, squeeze it back,
08:06 way out. Reach, squeeze, and reach.
08:09 How many we are?
08:10 Two more. Okay. One more. One more,
08:15 now we're gonna reach out this way.
08:17 We're gonna pull down and reach out,
08:19 pull down and out. Contract the muscles,
08:23 reach, contract the muscles and reach,
08:26 contract and reach, contract and reach,
08:31 contract and reach, contract and reach,
08:36 contract and reach, contract and reach,
08:40 10 more 1, pull your elbows into your side
08:45 and pull, and pull, and pull, five more times
08:52 1 and 2 and 3, 4, last one, 5, good.
09:02 Arm up over the head and let's stretch
09:05 that area that we just work common up
09:07 top. Okay reach this way,
09:10 there you go, pull the stretch right
09:13 in through there, very good.
09:20 As you exercise this way, you actually release
09:23 fat burning enzymes into your system.
09:26 So, that when you do aerobic exercise,
09:28 you will burn fat more effectively. Okay,
09:30 let's switch over, the other thing will happen.
09:35 As you get into a good exercise program,
09:39 get much more fit. You will actually be
09:42 replacing muscles glycogen in which you
09:44 stored sugar, glucose is stored in the muscles as
09:46 glycogen it will be twice as effective
09:49 by doing that, and as you go for walks
09:51 and you do things like that you can be
09:53 burning fat much more effectively
09:55 because of your fitness level. Okay relax,
09:59 and another thing that people find
10:02 interesting is that if I took somebody like Kyle
10:05 and handed him a snickers bar, which I'm not
10:08 gonna do and Kyle would eat it.
10:10 You think, it's gonna make him fat,
10:12 I doubted. What is gonna do is it gonna
10:14 go right to muscle glycogen.
10:16 But if you give that same snickers bar,
10:18 to somebody who is not fit and are overweight.
10:20 Guess where that snickers bar gonna go?
10:23 To fat. Right to the fat, so whether you're
10:27 fit or unfit will make a big difference
10:30 on what happens when you give somebody,
10:32 something to eat.
10:33 Oh! This one is not a healthy thing indeed,
10:35 okay. Now we're gonna do some shoulders.
10:38 We're gonna reach out and we're gonna do some arm
10:41 circles. This is a great way to get the metabolism
10:45 kick into gear by strengthening up
10:47 the shoulder area. We just worked with the chest,
10:49 then we work the upper back.
10:51 And now we're gonna do the shoulders,
10:52 now I guarantee you, we will feel them
10:54 before you've done. And for those at home,
10:57 you might need to put your arms down,
10:58 while you're doing this to rest. For the guys
11:01 behind me, they should be able to keep it
11:03 going. Because I'm gonna keep it going
11:05 and I show them what somebody is as old as me,
11:08 make I'm look bad. Okay, let's go the other direction
11:10 now, up and around, up and around, up and around.
11:14 Now, let's go back to the front and now
11:18 we're gonna make big circles, big circles
11:22 and now small circles and now big circles again,
11:29 very good. Now, let's go backwards,
11:34 I've talk to many people before they said.
11:36 My husband walk by and saw you doing this
11:39 he said that looks easy and then he tried it out
11:42 and realize this is not so easy after all.
11:44 Big circles now and small circles, you should be
11:51 starting to feel those shoulders burn little bit.
11:53 Are you starting to feel it yet? Although, we can keep
11:55 going then, go back forward and now backwards
12:03 and forward. Okay, now we're going to hold it.
12:08 We're gonna try and hold it for one minute,
12:11 arms out nice and straight, nice and
12:14 straight, parallel to the floor.
12:18 Hold them out there, palms down,
12:20 arms straight, smiles on the face.
12:24 You're enjoying yourself, you feel good
12:26 when you put your arms down anyway.
12:29 Okay, we've got twenty seconds, so we
12:33 almost half way there and now we're half
12:38 way there. Keep those arms up, keep those arms up,
12:42 they will start getting heavy.
12:44 But I assure you, when you put your arms down,
12:48 it's gonna feel good. Alright, keep holding them up
12:51 there. Hold them up there. Do not turn your palms
12:55 over. At home, if you do need to put your arms down,
12:57 go ahead you guys hang in there.
12:59 We're almost done; we're down
13:02 to our last 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Oh! Yes, it feels good.
13:13 Okay, let's roll the shoulders, up and around,
13:18 up and around, up and around.
13:21 When you feel that burning sensation that's cause
13:24 from lactic acid, building up in the muscles they
13:27 basically shut you down. But then that lactic acid
13:30 is gonna go right back to the liver and be
13:32 reconverted back into glucose.
13:34 And that's gonna get you going once again,
13:36 very good fellows. Up and around, up and around,
13:41 up and around. Okay, let's go back the other direction
13:46 very good, up and around, up and around,
13:50 up and around. And let's go backwards
13:57 again and back to the front.
14:03 You should feel that in your shoulders and then
14:06 in the trapezius area. Okay, now
14:09 we're just gonna shrug up and go down
14:12 and up and down and up and down
14:16 and up and down and up and down and up.
14:21 Three more times, up, down, up, down, up and down,
14:28 very good. Now, you doing alright.
14:31 Yes. Okay, how about you, you still breathing
14:34 little bit hard back there. Good say.
14:37 That's the where it goes, okay. Alright,
14:40 we're gonna do some arms now, and we're gonna
14:43 work and give ourselves our own resistance.
14:46 But we're gonna work hard, a lot of times we
14:48 see people do this on Body and Spirit.
14:50 They just gonna go through the motion, but
14:52 we're gonna really work it okay. Okay. I want
14:54 10 really good repetitions and we're gonna do them
14:56 kind a slow, ready curl, fight it, fight it.

17:57 We're gonna 10 good repetitions,

18:01 away from your body, which will allow you to get
18:04 full extension and press. Make yourself work

20:40 Alright. Now, we work out on a real regular basis
20:45 and I use a lot of weight, as you might guess
20:48 and even still when I do this exercise,
20:50 routine we're doing. I'm feeling it,
20:52 we are starting to sweat a little bit
20:55 and I know Kyle is feeling. How about
20:57 you Luther, you're feeling it. That's okay.
20:58 Alright, so now we're gonna go into
21:01 some leg action here. We're gonna do some
21:03 lunges today, but I wanna warm up the legs.
21:06 So, we will start with the side lunge effect,
21:09 step out to the side. Stretch inside of the thigh,
21:12 put the tension on the leg, shift over
21:15 and shift back, and shift, and shift, and shift,
21:22 and shift, and shift, and shift, and shift.
21:30 We're gonna go five more each way;
21:32 there is number 1 and 2 and 3.
21:43 Almost ready to get in some good lunges there,
21:46 there is 4 and 5, very good. Alright,
21:51 hands on the hips and I want you to step
21:55 way out there with your right leg.
21:56 Way out, go down and come up
22:01 and go right back down again.
22:03 Okay. We're gonna do five of those,
22:05 right back down. There is three, very good,
22:09 4 and 5. Now, we're gonna switch, put your
22:16 left leg out there and we do five times.
22:18 You know, it's a knee staying over the
22:20 foot; we don't want that knee to go
22:22 past the foot. Do a nice and tight,
22:29 that's better Luther, keep the knee over the foot.
22:33 You don't wanna jut in forward.
22:37 Okay, now reverse it again, back to the right
22:40 foot, step way out there Luther, way out there.
22:43 Okay, down, okay keep that knee over the foot,
22:46 back down, and up and down, and up and down,
22:54 and up and down, and up, left side now.
23:01 Way out there, bring it down and up and down
23:08 and up and down and up and down and up and down and up,
23:20 switch it again. Okay, step way out Luther,
23:23 step way out there, there you go.
23:24 That will help you to keep your knee
23:26 over your foot, if you don't get out there enough,
23:28 then you're gonna be finding your knee going
23:30 past your foot and that will create knee stress.
23:35 Lunges are tough exercise, regardless and so
23:39 we wanna make sure we're doing them with proper form,
23:41 very good. Okay switch again, and down and up and down,
23:50 nice and tight, and up and down.
23:54 Control and up, two more times, down and up
23:59 and down and up, switch last time through.
24:06 Way out there Luther, there you go,
24:07 lunge down, back up and down, and up
24:13 and down, and up, two more time fellows,
24:17 down and up, last one down and up.
24:22 Switch last time, left leg way out there.
24:26 Okay, lunge down and up and down and up,
24:32 three more times and up and down, and up
24:39 and down, and up, good job.
24:43 Alright fellows, you did great. Alright, let's put
24:47 the hands behind the back, we're gonna contract
24:49 the abdomen by blowing out and then we're gonna
24:52 comeback up, blow out and up, blow out and up,
24:57 blow out and up, blow out and up.
25:03 Contract, and up, contract and up,
25:08 contract and up, contract and up.
25:11 Set the abdomen in and up, contract and up,
25:16 contract and up. Keep going, contract and up,
25:22 remember the abdominal only has a full range
25:24 of motion. So, if we do a greater range,
25:27 we actually may bring other muscles into play.
25:29 One of those, being the iliopsoas,
25:31 which is also known as the hip flexor
25:34 and when you bring the hip flexors in.
25:35 You can create some instability of the back
25:38 by causing a sway back effect to by just doing
25:41 is little crunches. You can do them
25:43 from the floor or you can do them
25:45 in the standing position, just like we're doing.
25:46 We're flexing the abdomen, flexing down
25:50 and flex, and flex, one more time and flex and
25:56 let's just finish up. There is some trunk rotation,
25:58 turn and turn and turn and turn.
26:07 We're gonna go five more each way
26:10 and there is 1 and 2.
26:17 Best part of the workout is almost done
26:22 3, and you guys get the benefit and 4
26:27 and hopefully you at home as well and 5,
26:31 good job fellows. We're all done.
26:37 As you continue with a healthy exercise program,
26:40 especially by lifting some weight and getting
26:43 those muscles stronger. You will find
26:45 that your resting metabolism will become
26:48 much higher, and that will keep you burning
26:50 calories more effectively and as you do
26:52 your aerobic workouts, because of the
26:55 exercise, you do with your muscles.
26:56 The muscles been more effective
26:58 at burning fat, the muscles are cozy
27:01 looking for energy and fats are going through
27:04 the system looking for working muscles
27:06 and so the muscles burning around 70 percent fat
27:09 and about 30 percent carbohydrate,
27:11 is that the fuel you want.
27:13 But you need to get those muscles working
27:15 in order for them to command,
27:16 the energy that you are looking to burn
27:18 to increase your metabolism.
27:20 So, keep a regular workout going,
27:22 be consistent. That's the big key, consistency.
27:24 But most of all, you want do it for the
27:27 right reason. We wanna glorify God
27:29 with our body and all things we do.
27:31 Because we're very valuable,
27:32 we're bought with the price, we're not alone.
27:34 We're bought with the blood of Christ,
27:35 remember that and then claim the
27:37 promises that God has given us about taking
27:40 care of ourselves. My favorite
27:41 is Philippians 4:13 which say: I can do all
27:44 things through Christ, which strengthen me.
27:47 God bless you, thank you for joining us,
27:49 look forward to see you next time
27:50 on Body and Spirit.
