00:01 One of the worst addictions out there today
00:03 is the sugar addiction. 00:04 And you might not realize just how much it hides. 00:08 We're gonna talk about that next on Body & Spirit. 00:42 I'm Dick Nunez, co-owner of Fit-In-15 00:45 personal training systems. 00:47 Welcome to Body & Spirit. 00:48 Today, we're gonna talk about one of the plagues 00:50 of our society today, 00:52 it causes lots of disease, plus obesity, 00:54 and that's sugar addiction. 00:56 And we all love sugar. 00:58 I know, I certainly did, especially as a young boy. 01:00 At the age of 12, my mother goes to a grocery store 01:02 every Friday, buy one pound Hershey bar, 01:05 one pound Nestle crunch bar, 01:07 and a bag of tootsie roll pops and I eat it all on Friday. 01:10 When I went to the dentist I had 12 cavities. 01:12 Some of those cavities were so bad, 01:14 that in my later years, 01:15 I had to get around nine crowns and some root canals. 01:18 When I went to the dentist, he'd break into him, 01:21 crowning with many crowns, because I certainly got them. 01:24 And over the time, I've had to battle the sugar addiction. 01:27 Fortunately by God's grace, 01:28 I've been able to come through it, 01:30 but many people don't. 01:32 It really grabs them and holds on to them 01:34 and it hides in so many different things. 01:36 So we're gonna talk more about sugar 01:37 as we get into our program. 01:39 And helping me out today will be Lisa, 01:40 who is also a personal trainer 01:42 and she has some experience with sugar 01:45 and so we'll be talking about that 01:46 as we get into our workout. 01:48 But let's start with a little warm up, Lisa. 01:49 Let's just swing our arms around back and forth. 01:53 Just loosen up our shoulders, 01:55 as we get ready to start our workout. 01:58 It's always important 01:59 when you workout to get a warm up in, 02:02 it doesn't have to be hard, it can be quite simple. 02:04 Let's just do some shoulder shrugs now, Lisa. 02:07 Up and down and just loosen up. 02:11 Get ready for the fun that is to come. 02:13 Oh, I like that, the fun to come. 02:19 One of the things that people really get lambasted with 02:23 is the high fructose corn syrup. 02:26 They don't realize just how much that affects them. 02:29 And here's the thing, 02:31 because of its being the way it's been processed, 02:34 the high fructose corn syrup will actually store 40 times 02:39 more likely than just regular sugar 02:41 and it just destroys people. 02:45 Okay, let's go and relax there. 02:51 All right, I'll take our towels. 02:53 And we're gonna do a workout here 02:55 and we're gonna start by doing a chest exercise. 02:57 We're gonna take our towel at the end here 03:00 and have it like we're doing a chest press 03:03 and we're gonna do one arm at a time. 03:05 You're gonna press out and pull back. 03:07 So as we do it, we're constraining on the pack, 03:10 pushing out, pulling back, pushing out, pull back. 03:15 We want to keep it slow, 03:17 so we can feel the contraction of the chest. 03:23 So, Lisa, do you like sugar? 03:25 Yes, off course. 03:33 And we'll do five more. 03:36 And of course exercise will help to burn excess sugar, 03:41 but the best thing is not to put it in our system. 03:45 Okay, let switch to other side. 03:50 When I was young and growing up, 03:52 my mother would bake a pumpkin pie just for me 03:55 and I would devour the whole thing. 04:00 So I'm known more as what would be a sugar binger. 04:02 I can eat a bunch of it 04:04 and then just totally leave it alone 04:06 where a lot of people, 04:08 if they are real too sugar addicts, 04:09 they get a whole of the sum 04:11 and they want more and more and more and more, like... 04:14 I get tired of it. This is terrible. 04:17 And of course as we get away from it, 04:19 then all of a sudden it doesn't taste good to us anymore. 04:21 And a lot of times people eat it again, they will go, well, 04:23 this doesn't taste as good as I remember. 04:25 Well, I better keep working at and see 04:26 if I can get the tasting and of course lo and behold. 04:29 Okay, good. 04:31 They will get it again. 04:32 Okay, I'm gonna go and take the towel. 04:36 Okay. 04:38 Now we're gonna stretch the area. 04:39 So put the hands behind the head... 04:43 And just lean back with the elbows drop back, 04:46 stretch your chest. 04:49 That feels good. 04:50 Okay, bring it across and give yourself a hug. 04:59 Okay, now behind the head again. 05:02 Push the elbows back, drop it back and stretch. 05:10 Okay, and then give yourself another hug. 05:13 Pull the shoulder blades apart. 05:18 Okay, very good. 05:22 Now we're gonna get into our back training. 05:26 And the way we'll do that one... 05:27 As we get in this position here, left leg out, 05:30 you're gonna take your towel by the end, 05:32 grab it with the other arm and then we're gonna pull back 05:37 and then back out. 05:41 And reach, and reach. 05:46 The problem with the high fructose corn syrup 05:49 is it goes right... 05:51 it gets absorbed right into the system. 05:53 It doesn't go through the regular digestive pathway 05:55 and that's what causes it to store 05:57 as fat so aggressively. 06:01 And if you look at the labels, 06:02 you'll see it's in a lot of different things. 06:05 And that's the problem for the sugar addict 06:06 because they think they have given up sugar 06:08 and then they get some salad dressing 06:10 or something else and voila, it's in there. 06:12 Yeah. 06:14 Can you think of any other things that it hides in? 06:17 Well, they can put high fructose corn syrup 06:19 under natural flavorings. 06:21 Oh, no. Which is a trick. 06:23 Okay. 06:25 And so, can MSG and, 06:27 so you think you are giving up sugar and trying to get off it, 06:30 but you can't get away from the addiction. 06:33 If you keep having the craving, well, 06:34 it's because it's hidden in something that you're eating 06:37 or consuming. 06:38 Okay, let's switch sides. 06:40 Because after a certain point you should, 06:43 the craving should subside. 06:44 Okay. 06:48 And, it's also found that the healthier you eat, 06:52 the less your addictions are there. 06:54 Have you found that in your personal life? 06:56 As you eat healthy, does you find less desire? 06:59 Yeah. 07:00 Yeah, because cravings, sugar and sweets 07:03 your body is craving something, 07:05 but it's actually lacking nutrition. 07:08 You're craving nutrition and you don't realize it 07:10 and so once you start to fill up 07:12 with nutritious foods, 07:14 than you're not having the cravings anymore. 07:20 And I've also heard numerous times in my life, 07:23 that the things we crave the most are the things 07:26 that are hurting us the most. 07:28 So when people, they say, well I'm craving this or that. 07:30 Well, obviously there's no need to crave nicotine 07:33 or caffeine or alcohol. 07:36 So when people get into those habits, 07:38 that's all they have done is get into a habit. 07:40 One more. Good. 07:43 Okay, I'll take your towel again for a moment. 07:48 Okay, now we're gonna reach over the head 07:51 and get a hold of it with our other hand. 07:53 And we're gonna stretch right into here 07:56 and feel the nice gentle stretch through there. 07:58 We hold it for about 15 seconds. 08:01 So do you watch labels pretty closely when you go shop? 08:04 I do. 08:05 And, you know, if anything is boxed, bagged or canned, 08:09 you have to really be careful 08:11 because you can even go by vegetable broth 08:14 and they will put high fructose corn syrup in it or MSG. 08:18 And so... 08:19 Okay, switch. 08:20 Well, even with babies. 08:22 I know what baby food it's laced with salt and sugar. 08:25 And of course babies do not have a high developed pallet, 08:28 so they're just putting in there, 08:30 so when the parent taste, they will go, 08:31 well that taste pretty good. 08:32 Here have some strained broccoli 08:34 and see how you like that, so. 08:37 Have a little broccoli with your sugar. 08:39 Yeah, have a little broccoli with your sugar. 08:40 Okay, go and stop. 08:42 And then of course when a child goes 08:43 from that and they start watching TV, 08:46 well, what's on TV? 08:48 I remember one time, 08:49 I went to the grocery store with my mom, 08:50 and I saw milk duds and I thought wow. 08:53 I saw those on TV, 08:54 it's like seeing a celebrity for a little child. 08:57 Or you go to the grocery store 08:59 and of course they always have candy right by the checkout 09:01 and then the little kids are reaching, grab, 09:02 something right at the very end and thrown down then 09:04 the parent will go, oh, okay, go ahead, it's hard. 09:09 Prevents a temper tantrum. 09:10 Prevents a temper tantrum, but stimulates an addiction. 09:13 Yeah. Okay. 09:15 Now what we're gonna do is we're gonna grab the end here. 09:17 And we're gonna take it about six inches away 09:20 and we're gonna do some lateral raises. 09:22 So as we're going through our, we talk about sugar addiction, 09:25 we're also getting some exercise in. 09:27 And of course, exercise is a great thing 09:29 for burning sugar 09:34 and makes our body more efficient. 09:36 So whenever somebody is battling diabetes, 09:38 high blood sugar, blood sugar problems, 09:40 they get into a regular exercise program, 09:42 we open up those cells wide open 09:45 and glucose goes right into them. 09:48 But of course, we want to get glucose 09:50 from the healthier sources, 09:51 the fresh fruits and vegetables, 09:53 the whole grains, that's what we... 09:55 That's what we really need. 09:57 And of course as Lisa mentioned, 09:58 if we do that 09:59 and we're getting the essential nutrients, 10:01 then we're not craving sugar so much. 10:10 And let's go two more. Good. 10:15 Okay, the other side. 10:16 And I know I've gone to parties before 10:19 where you're supposed to bring something 10:20 and people bring all these dishes 10:22 that I won't even touch and then you walk in there 10:25 with the vegetable tray or fruit tray and they go, 10:27 oh, that looks really good. 10:28 So there is a part of us that really craves healthy food, 10:30 we just don't know it. 10:32 Yeah. 10:33 Well, and everybody think if it's healthy, 10:34 it can't taste good, but that's not true. 10:36 That's right. 10:38 Because I know when we... 10:40 when I bring things for Christmas 10:41 or Thanksgiving 10:43 and my brother has to try it 10:47 and he usually goes back for seconds. 10:51 Which makes it harder, 10:52 if all there is unhealthy food left 10:54 because those who eat the unhealthy food 10:55 will eat all the healthy food. 10:57 Yes, like I'm not gonna get into yours. 11:03 The disadvantages of eating healthy. 11:05 Yeah. 11:10 Okay, and let's do ten more of those. 11:12 You're feeling your shoulder at all? 11:14 In a good way though. Yes, in a good way. 11:16 It's all good. Yeah. 11:23 Good. 11:24 And the wonderful thing about exercise is, after we're done, 11:27 we're still burning fat. 11:29 For the next five to six hours, 11:31 our body is burning fat, even though we just did some, 11:34 some easy exercise. 11:36 Yeah, and sometimes you can feel your muscles 11:37 feel like they are tremoring. 11:39 Oh, I love that feeling. 11:40 Yeah, it's awesome. I love that. 11:42 Back when I was in college 11:43 and I was in to the seven days a week, 11:44 four hours a day, and worked out 11:46 with Arnold Schwarzenegger and all that. 11:48 We always loved it if we had to swing our arms 11:51 up just to wash our hair. 11:52 Yeah. 11:53 I saw that, but I obviously don't have any hair 11:55 to wash any more. 11:56 Cool. Okay, bring the arm across. 12:01 But you save on shampoo. Yeah. 12:05 Okay, gentle stretch. Feel it in your shoulder. 12:10 Okay, now let's go the other direction. 12:12 Arm out, bring it across and pull. 12:16 I always describe this one because it's amazing 12:18 how often you say, okay, bring your arm across your body 12:20 and some will go like that just to... 12:25 Okay, good. 12:30 All right. 12:32 And here's the other... 12:34 Another one, the big problem with sugar 12:35 is people eat it and it spikes their blood sugar up, 12:38 gives you a lots of calories, 12:40 but then it brings you right back down 12:41 and then you're hungry again. 12:43 Vicious cycle. Yeah. 12:45 'Cause it just stimulates you 12:46 in the high fructose corn syrup and the MSG 12:48 that you talked about. 12:49 One of the things they do, as they stimulate the appetite, 12:52 that people want to eat more. 12:54 Because a lot of times you have a favorite product 12:57 that you like and you don't know why, 12:59 but it's because of that the addiction you have 13:02 because of the MSG or... 13:03 And then one of the most devastating things 13:05 I've heard and I don't partaken this, 13:07 so you can enlighten me 13:09 if you know little more about than I do, 13:11 is when you take the sugar and mix it 13:13 with caffeine and with milk. 13:16 Then, yeah, sugar and caffeine are 'cause some say 13:19 it's the deadly duo. 13:20 Okay. 13:22 And if you're a sugar addict, for myself, that's my trigger. 13:24 Okay. 13:25 If I can get by maybe sneaking a little sugar 13:28 here and there once in a while 13:30 without the addiction coming back in full force, 13:33 but when I mix it with the Lotte if you will. 13:37 The fufu drink. The fufu drinks. 13:38 Yeah. Bad news. 13:40 So I try to definitely stay away from that. 13:42 Okay, what we're gonna do is drape it over our, 13:44 outside of our hand, grab here 13:47 and then we're gonna curl up like this. 13:49 It's interesting, Lisa, some of those drinks 13:52 will smell good to me, but then if I actually say, 13:54 let me smell then, I put my nose into it, 13:57 it gives me an instant headache. 13:58 I don't even have to taste it. 14:00 Yeah. 14:03 First I've never... 14:04 I've never been a coffee drinker. 14:06 So that isn't a temptation for me. 14:08 Yeah. 14:09 A lot of people don't realize that sugar is a true addiction. 14:12 They did a study at a college, 14:14 where they put electrograph on their brain 14:18 and watched the chemicals and they get, 14:20 and they compared it to cocaine, 14:22 you can not tell the difference between a sugar 14:24 addiction and cocaine 14:26 of what's actually going through the brain. 14:27 Wow. 14:29 So true sugar addicts, when they go off, 14:31 some are worse than others. 14:33 I suppose like any addiction, but I had cold sweat, shake, 14:36 headache, sick, laid on the couch for days. 14:39 Wow. It was brutal. 14:41 Good. Yeah. 14:43 And you probably didn't want to exercise much 14:44 when you felt like that? 14:45 No. Okay. 14:48 Okay, and then curl up. 14:50 How much did you find exercise helps with that? 14:53 Exercise helps a lot and you know it also... 14:57 Well, that helps to burn the calories 15:00 'cause there's something else to think about. 15:02 It creates endorphins, 15:03 makes you feel better about yourself. 15:05 Okay. Just clear the head. 15:06 But getting off sugar helps clear the head 'cause it seems 15:08 like when you're on sugar, it can give you brain-fag. 15:18 Okay, let's do five more. Curl it up. Curl it up. 15:22 I kind of remember we're exercising here too. 15:25 Not just our jaws. Yeah. 15:28 Or doing the muscles too, I'm doing. 15:29 Okay. Okay. 15:31 Okay, now we're gonna grab it here like this 15:33 and grab just a little bit above it. 15:35 We're gonna be pressing down and bring back up, 15:37 so we're working our triceps now. 15:42 Now of course, this is gonna be done with weight equipment, 15:44 or cables, or whatever. 15:45 But we try and give a good workout 15:47 for just anybody at home. 15:49 And although people can't afford 15:51 a lot of fancy like exercise equipment, 15:53 most people have a towel. 15:55 So when people say, I can't workout, 15:56 I don't have any equipment, there you do. 15:58 Just have to get creative, 16:00 and where there is a will, there is a way. 16:01 Right. 16:02 Where there's no will, there's no way. 16:04 Another saying I like, I have heard this. 16:07 People use their health to gain their wealth. 16:11 Then once they gain their wealth, 16:13 they have to use their wealth to get their health. 16:15 To get it back, yeah. 16:22 And I know for myself, when I think about sugar, 16:24 I think about the way it makes me feel. 16:26 I don't like the way it makes me feel. 16:28 I just hate that bloated, 16:32 foggy feeling that you talked about. 16:34 One more, good. I like feeling good. 16:38 Okay, press down. Okay. 16:41 Press down. 16:42 Not to mention, 16:43 25 teaspoons of sugar which is like a typical pop 16:48 will deplete your immune system 95 percent for 12 hours. 16:54 95 percent, or so often people find out 16:57 they have a bunch of sugar, oh, they got sick. 17:00 Yeah. 17:02 And if they just have, I think it was 12 teaspoons of sugar, 17:08 no it's just six teaspoons of sugar, 17:10 their immune system is so compromised for six hours. 17:12 Yeah. 17:14 And for people that work in work places, 17:15 that's pretty... 17:17 Pretty difficult. 17:18 Yeah, and I know my clients, if they come in, oh, 17:21 everybody is sick around me at work. 17:22 I said, drink water and no sugar, 17:26 you know, because it makes you so much 17:27 more susceptible to picking up viruses. 17:34 Okay, good. 17:35 I remember the statistic. 17:36 It was six teaspoons will knock it down 17:39 25 percent for six hours. 17:42 But the 25, 95 percent for twelve hours. 17:46 Yeah. That's just amazing. 17:47 That's like a brittle diabetic. 17:49 And that's just a typical can of pop 17:51 or a piece of apple pie ala mode. 17:57 Okay? 17:58 We're ready to get into some leg exercises. 18:00 And what we're gonna do today is we're gonna do some lunges. 18:03 And I'm gonna let you talk about this a little bit, 18:05 because I know you've done a lot with them 18:06 and you work a lot with women 18:08 who are interested in working on their thighs 18:10 and their gluteus maximuses 18:12 because they want to tighten up their lower body. 18:13 So I'm gonna back up and let you go ahead 18:15 and demonstrate them. 18:17 And you can talk them through as you do it there. 18:18 Okay. 18:19 Easiest way is usually traveling lunges. 18:21 And the first lunge I'll demonstrate 18:23 is the one that gets more the gluteus maximus. 18:25 So the key to that is going low 18:27 and the leg that's back stays straight. 18:30 So you wanting to go low 18:31 and your back leg stays as straight as possible. 18:35 And if you're just beginning, 18:36 you can come up in between like this. 18:42 And I'll do the other ones going back. 18:45 And for more advanced, 18:47 you stay low, you never come up. 18:52 That looks painful. 18:53 Actually feels pretty good. Okay, good. 18:56 I'll take your word for it. Okay. 18:58 Now the other one will be more focused on the quads. 19:00 So you will notice the back leg is more at a 90 degree angle up 19:03 under myself and that's the one you will see 19:05 a lot of football players doing per se. 19:08 You're just down like this, same thing, 19:11 you can go down and come up in between. 19:21 They also have an excessive amount of weight 19:23 they are using, don't you imagine? 19:24 Yeah, yeah. 19:26 At our business we sometimes carry 45 pound weight plates. 19:29 Okay. 19:30 And do doubles and there's lots of different varieties, 19:32 but for beginning this is enough. 19:34 And same way you can do this one to make a little more. 19:36 You just stay low and tucked 19:39 and that makes it a little more complicated 19:41 because the muscles working 19:42 the whole time without any break. 19:44 Okay, good. 19:46 Now could you also show us side lunge because I know 19:48 that's one that people a lot of times like to do 19:51 and let's do about ten of those. 19:53 Just... 19:54 Yes. 19:57 Usually it's better to stay on one side and working, 20:00 rather than switch 20:01 because the muscle doesn't get the break. 20:03 It's harder. 20:06 I know I'm not counting. Six. 20:08 Oh, you're at my mercy. 20:10 That's not a good place to be. 20:16 Okay, and let's do the other side. 20:18 You're looking good. 20:20 Very good. 20:24 And this one will work the inside the thigh more. 20:27 And a lot times, of course, women are interested in that. 20:30 Now you can't magically burn the fat there, 20:32 but it certainly stimulate the muscles in the area 20:34 that they are trying to tighten up. 20:36 You can tighten up the muscle underneath the thigh 20:37 which can pull it in a little bit, 20:40 but you still have to watch your diet. 20:42 You're right, right. Is that ten? 20:43 One more. 20:46 That's the thing especially with men, 20:47 they're going... 20:48 Well, I need to do a bunch of crunches 20:50 and got all those belly fats. 20:51 I say, well, you can do some crunches, 20:53 but take and get rid of all that belly fat 20:55 and you're not gonna see anything, just... 20:56 They usually have a good six pack under the... 20:58 They might but you never gonna know because it's insulated. 21:00 Yeah. Okay. 21:02 Now we're gonna stretch out. 21:03 And again that's a very important part of exercise. 21:06 So we don't have a wall that you can really use. 21:09 So you're gonna use me. 21:10 So put your hand on my shoulder and go ahead 21:12 and stretch your quadriceps. 21:14 And so you're feeling the stretch right into there. 21:16 And if you're not, it helps to kind of pit tilt your pelvis 21:19 forward and lay into it. 21:21 Okay. 21:24 And you don't want to overstretch your muscle 21:25 because then you can get it, 21:26 what's called the Golgi tendon response. 21:28 Just want to take it to a comfortable spot, 21:30 hold it for about 15 to 20 seconds, 21:32 which I think we've just done. 21:33 Okay, and go and switch sides. 21:36 And otherwise, it gets to feel him like an exercise in itself. 21:38 Right. 21:40 And if it's so uncomfortable that, it's like your, 21:43 somebody's got you in a hole, trying to get you to submit. 21:46 You know, you tap out because you're stretching, 21:48 that's not a good thing. 21:49 Okay. 21:50 Can I do that and it makes me stop? 21:52 Yeah. Okay. 21:53 All right, go and stop. 21:54 Okay, now let's do the hamstrings. 21:56 We're gonna step out. 21:57 Let's put the left leg out up on the heel, 21:59 then lean forward. 22:04 I always tell when I'm training a trainer 22:06 because then I don't have to explain 22:07 the whole moment to them. 22:11 And you should feel that in the back of your leg. 22:12 Okay, go and switch to the other side. 22:21 It looks good. 22:22 You're feeling that in the hamstring? 22:24 Okay, and let's do a calf stretch. 22:28 You just press back with one leg. 22:30 That area gets a lot of neglect. 22:33 It's very important especially for women 22:35 who wear lot of heel, high heels. 22:38 They tend not to, they're showing 22:39 that Achilles tendon and then they, 22:41 they are trying to do some outside activity 22:43 and they rupture their Achilles tendon. 22:46 So by doing a stretch here, 22:48 you stretch that Achilles tendon, 22:50 stretch that gastrocnemius 22:51 of your calf muscle and that will help prevent 22:53 certain things like that. 22:55 Okay? Switch side. 22:56 And when you're doing those stretched out lunges, 22:59 where you're getting real low, it will get your calf. 23:02 Okay. 23:03 So... 23:05 All works together for good. 23:06 It does. 23:07 Biblical concept. 23:09 All things work together for good 23:10 for those who love the Lord. 23:11 It doesn't mean that everything is gonna be good, 23:13 but it will all work together for good. 23:15 Sometimes we have lessons to be learnt. 23:16 There's lessons to be learnt, yes, like giving up sugar. 23:18 Yeah. 23:20 Okay. 23:22 Now we're gonna do a little abdominal work 23:23 and we're gonna do it from a standing position. 23:25 Lot of times people have trouble getting on the floor, 23:28 getting up and down, so I like... 23:30 I came up with this one and it works really well, 23:33 but you have to be able to focus and isolate. 23:34 So we're standing up and we're just contracting our abdomen. 23:38 Abdominal muscle has a full range of motion, 23:40 so we blow out, contract down and then we get to the spot, 23:43 then we bend over, then we come up, 23:46 and we're sewing that contracted spot 23:47 and then we lay back. 23:49 Blow out, contract, over, up and then lay back. 23:56 Blow out, over, up, lay back. 24:03 Blow out, over, up, and back. 24:07 Just keep going. 24:09 This one also works on your lower back, 24:11 because as you come up, 24:13 you're extending the abdomen and then 24:15 of course you come over, you're extending and flexing 24:19 the back as well. 24:20 So both areas get worked in one simple exercise. 24:24 I had a lot of people tell me, this really helps them. 24:27 And they started doing it, 24:28 and they could feel a big difference 24:29 in their abdominal wall and then their lower back. 24:32 And it's important to work both sides because a lot of... 24:36 It seems like girls especially I find in my training, 24:39 they do a ton of ab work 24:41 and then they started having sore hips and pelvis 24:44 because they are getting too strong in here and then 24:48 it's pulling their pelvis forward 24:50 and then they have what you call a swayback or... 24:51 Right. 24:53 And then they are having some issues with that. 24:55 So you definitely want to strengthen 24:56 the opposite muscle. 24:58 Right. 25:00 Almost as having antagonist muscles. 25:02 So if you want to have a strong lower back, 25:04 you need to have a strong abdomen. 25:06 If you want strong quadriceps, 25:08 you have to have strong hamstrings as well. 25:10 Okay, that's good. 25:11 Now we're gonna just do some gentle turns. 25:13 A lot of people out there trying to do side bends. 25:15 I don't like side bends especially when they do 25:17 weighted side bends 25:18 because the external oblique is a muscle 25:20 and it can get larger hence, but I like a nice gentle twist. 25:24 I like that because you feel the stretch. 25:29 You feel that in that area? 25:31 Yeah. 25:34 And I like it as a cool down. 25:36 And you better likes it when we get to this point 25:38 because they know the workout is just about over. 25:41 Ooh-ooh. 25:44 Or they might feel really sad. 25:45 Oh, no, the workout is over. 25:48 I go through that every now and then. 25:50 Yeah, we know that. I wanted to do some more. 25:56 Okay and one more time. 26:00 Good. 26:03 Addictions are something that plague our country. 26:06 We all know it's like to feel addicted to something. 26:08 And sugar is one that really is affecting us, 26:11 because it causes a lot of degenerative disease. 26:14 When you're eating things are not for you, 26:17 your body is responding in such away 26:18 to try and compensate for them. 26:20 And that's when you start seeing the problems come up. 26:22 The arthritic condition is one of the things 26:24 that's really hitting our country in a big way 26:27 is the autoimmune disorders. 26:28 Again, we talked about how much sugar can affect 26:31 your immune system. 26:33 And when you do that, anything you have, 26:35 any condition you have, it's gonna be much more soft 26:38 when you start suppressing the immune system. 26:40 However, if you change around 26:43 and follow God's eight natural remedies 26:45 and start eating healthy, 26:47 getting plenty of exercise, water, sunshine, fresh air, 26:51 all that and have a temperate life and mostly trust in God 26:56 because that's so important to do things 26:58 for the right reason. 27:00 We may not have the strength to be victorious over things 27:03 that are plaguing us through addiction, but God does. 27:07 He said, He came to this earth in the form of a man 27:11 and He had victory over all things. 27:13 And always we have to do 27:14 is claim the righteousness of Christ 27:16 and He will give us the strength. 27:18 We call up on the Holy Spirit and say, 27:20 come to us and impress our minds, 27:22 what we need to do to change, strengthen us. 27:25 And by doing that, 27:26 we automatically start following 27:28 the fruits of the Holy Spirit. 27:30 And when we do that, we find our body 27:31 start to become transformed. 27:33 We feel so good inside and then we realize, 27:35 we don't want to back to the old way. 27:37 I never want to get back to the place 27:39 where I've addicted to sugar. 27:41 Pastor Paul says, I shall not be a mastery of anything, 27:44 be master by anything. 27:45 I will have victory over all things. 27:47 He might say, things are permissible, 27:49 but I'll be master by none of it. 27:50 He goes on to say, in 1 Corinthians he says, 27:54 "All that you eat, 27:56 all that you drink shall be done to the glory of God." 27:57 And He also says in Philippines 4:13. 28:01 "I can do all things through Christ 28:02 which strengthens me" 28:04 And that includes, getting rid of sugar. 28:06 God bless you. Thank you for joining us. 28:07 See you next time on Body & Spirit. |
