Be sure to consult your physician 00:09 before beginning any exercise program. 00:14 Being fit is for everybody, male and female, 00:17 young and not quite so young. Stay tuned and find 00:20 out more, next on Body and Spirit. 00:48 Hello, I'm Dick Nunez, Wellness Director of the 00:50 Black Hills Health and Education Center. 00:52 Welcome to Body and Spirit. 00:54 Over my carrier in the fitness industry I've seen 00:56 All different types of people come in; I've seen 00:59 people as old as 93 come in and say I want a new 01:03 lifestyle. It's very commendable and when we 01:05 see people who want to improve upon their health, 01:08 no matter what age they are. Unfortunately not too 01:11 many people in our society are doing that. In fact 01:14 over the age of 65 less than 10% of our population 01:18 has a good exercise program. So, we're gonna talk 01:21 about exercise for everybody more as we get 01:24 started in our workout. Helping me out today will 01:26 be my daughter Brittany, who is now a student at 01:29 Tamarack Springs Academy in Polebridge, 01:31 Montana, and Dr. Art Garner who is somebody 01:35 I am very close to, because he helps me with 01:38 the Black Hills Health and Education Center as part 01:40 of the Administrative Committee there and he is a 01:43 General Manager out there. So, we have a lot of fun 01:45 working together as I direct the Wellness Program 01:47 and he runs the campus and we have fun. Okay, 01:51 so we are gonna have more fun right now we are 01:52 gonna start up by loosening up. We are gonna bring 01:55 our arms up over head and stretch back and then 01:58 we're gonna come down, we're just gonna loosen 02:00 ourselves up for a good workout. Brittany especially 02:07 said I want a good workout here and I said 02:09 okay we'll give you one. We know Dr. Garner 02:12 wants one so that won't be a problem. Sure. And so 02:17 I thought I'd choose these two because first of all I 02:20 know them both very, very well and so we got 02:23 Brittany who is really young still and Dr. Garner 02:26 well he is not young as he once was, lets just say 02:29 that. But still does really well in the exercise 02:32 department and of course we got a male and female, 02:35 so I thought we cross the generation gap here and 02:39 show that we can do the same type of things and 02:42 have a good time. Okay, let's do two more, there is 02:45 one and two enjoy this part folks because it's 02:50 probably the easiest thing you're gonna do. Alright, 02:52 now we get to do pushups and so I am not a 02:55 discriminator between old or young or male or 02:57 female. So, both of you get to do them and we're 03:00 gonna try and do 20 of them alright. Okay, no 03:02 problem, hit the deck. Okay, in position, on my 03:08 count down and up and down and up and down, 03:15 stay up now, stay up, okay down, stay on count, 03:18 up and down and up, there is five and down, 03:24 and up there is six and down and up there is 03:27 seven, down and up there is eight, down and up 03:32 there is nine, down and up there is ten, hold it up 03:37 hold it up, okay back down and up 11, down and up 12, 03:43 down and up 13, down and up 14, down and up, 03:50 hold it and down and up 16, down and up hold it 03:57 up 17, down and up, up, up, up, up good. 04:03 Okay, alright, that's good, alright, good job. 04:06 We didn't get quite the 20 but we worked them 04:08 hard, did them nice and slow and that really takes 04:11 the oomph right out of you. Okay, so let's stretch 04:14 those muscles out now by putting the hands behind 04:17 the head and push th elbows back. Push them 04:23 way back and them bring them across. Now, we do 04:28 pushups slowly, it definitely makes a big difference 04:30 because on another show we had Dr. Garner just 04:33 pump them up and he get 37 of them, but we did 04:36 them much slower here and when you them slow it 04:38 can really take the sap out of you in a big hurry. 04:41 Okay, hands behind the head and push the arms 04:45 way back and now give yourself another hug. 04:53 Alright, okay, now we're gonna work our back, 05:01 step out with your left foot, reach out, grab a 05:05 hold and pull slowly, make yourself work, contract 05:10 back, now reach way out, pull back, contract and 05:16 way out, pull back and out and pull back and out 05:26 and pull and reach and pull and reach, there is 8 and 05:35 reach way out and pull, do them slow so you feel 05:38 the muscles working. It is 10 and reach and 11, 05:45 way out and pull, way out, there is 13, reach out and 05:53 14, reach out and pull and out and pull and out, 05:59 and pull and out, way back and out and pull and reach, 06:08 two more times, pull and reach, one more, 06:12 pull it back and way out. Okay, switch over, 06:16 put the right foot out, reach the left hand out, 06:19 grab the left wrist with your right hand, pull way 06:22 back and reach out and back and out. Again we're 06:28 doing 20 of them, give yourself some good 06:31 resistance so you're making yourself work and 06:35 pull and pull and pull, there is 8, the goal here 06:45 today is give ourselves a good hard workout, fatigue 06:49 each and every muscle, the back area is probably 06:52 the hardest one to fatigue, just doing manual type 06:56 exercise, because we used to be able to grab a hold 06:59 of some weights and pull back, but this will still 07:01 give you an effect as you're working those muscles 07:05 and reach out and pull, reach out and pull, 07:11 reach out and pull, let's go one more, reach out and 07:15 pull. Alright, now let's reach over the head, 07:20 grab a hold of your arm and stretch, you wanna feel 07:23 it stretching along the latissimus dorsi area okay, 07:28 very good. You wanna hold each stretch for about 07:32 10 to 15 seconds, make sure you breathe while you 07:35 do each stretching exercise that will help you to 07:40 relax. Are you tense Brittany?

Don't do it for self vanity or to go 27:24 look in the mirror and prance around, but do it to 27:27 the glory of God, because he is the one that made 27:29 you, he is the one that purchased you with his 27:31 blood, he is the one that's coming back to reclaim 27:34 what is his and that is you. There is nothing junk 27:37 about us, we are wonderfully made and do it for the 27:40 right reason. Remember Philippians 4:13 says, 27:43 I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens 27:45 me, lean on him awesome things will happen God 27:48 bless, we'll see you next time on Body & Spirit. |
