00:02 The following program is designed to demonstrate
00:04 simple workouts that you can use to improve
00:06 your health. Be sure to consult your physician
00:10 before beginning any exercise program.
00:14 Today promises to be an interesting workout,
00:16 we're going to do one specifically for women.
00:18 Find out what that means,
00:19 next one Body & Spirit Aerobics.
00:49 Hello, I am Dick Nunez, Wellness Director at the Black
00:51 Hills Health and Education Center.
00:53 Welcome to Body and Spirit Aerobics.
00:55 Today we're going to be talking about exercise
00:57 and women, women have specific needs when
00:59 it comes to training. And often times they're
01:01 a lot of misconceptions we need to get past,
01:03 for example women think that if they start
01:05 working out, they're gonna get large muscles like
01:08 a man would. And I try and reassurance them
01:10 and say look it's hard enough for men to look
01:11 like men, don't worry about it.
01:13 Besides what we find with women,
01:14 instead of getting larger muscles, it real is more of an
01:17 neuromuscular pattern that starts to develop,
01:20 which makes them stronger without putting a lot
01:22 of muscular size in there, also there are conditions
01:25 of Hypertrophy which is when the muscles
01:27 actually get larger versus Hyperplasia where you
01:29 get more muscles fibers in a given diameter.
01:32 So, women tend to have more of the Hyperplasia,
01:34 it's very difficult for a woman to get big bulky
01:36 muscles, unless they're on some type of steroids,
01:39 I doubt that very many of the people at home
01:41 want to do that. In fact I would strongly encourage
01:43 you never even think about it.
01:45 But some women have gone to that extreme,
01:47 so I think we're ready to get started helping me out
01:49 today will be Becky Garber and my daughter Britney.
01:52 Any good workout needs to start with a
01:54 warm-up and so we're gonna do just that.
01:56 We're gonna reach up and rotate and reach,
01:59 and rotate and reach and reach and reach
02:03 and reach and reach and reach, good keep it up
02:11 and reach, reach, reach ten more each way.
02:16 There is one and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6
02:32 and 7 and 8 and 9 and 10, good. Now, I'm an equal
02:42 opportunity trainer, so what we're going to do is put
02:45 your on the floor and we're gonna do some
02:47 pushups to started off it. Often times women think,
02:49 well I can't do pushups. Well, I don't think that way.
02:53 Yes, you can do pushups, in fact I've seen
02:54 women do one arm pushups and no problem.
02:56 I'm only going to do the one arm ones today
02:58 however. Okay, good, we won't do them today
03:00 and if you need to you can do them against the wall
03:03 or you can do them off your knees.
03:06 And for our sake Brittany, why don't you just do regular
03:08 ones, Becky, why don't you go ahead and do them
03:10 off your knees, that way we can see the difference,
03:12 okay. On my count ready down and up,

09:14 keep it up, 6, 7 and here is number 9 and last one,
09:39 okay good. Okay, step it out and we go for one
09:54 more minute, we'll put a little variation
09:56 in and we down to 45, 40. Often times when
10:18 women get into exercise, they're afraid to
10:21 push themselves a little bit, don't worry about
10:23 it just find something that's comfortable for you.
10:26 It's okay to push yourself, but you wanna be
10:29 comfortable in that effort, it shouldn't be a strain,
10:32 you should be comfortable, but you should know
10:34 you're doing something. Your body will respond
10:37 in positive ways, I've seen women gain 20
10:40 pounds and loss two dress sizes,
10:41 simple because of the fact that the pound of fat
10:44 is greater than two and half times the size
10:46 the pound of muscle. Okay, we're ready for
10:50 a little variation, put the arms out, do some circles,
10:56 keep our steps going, and good keep it up.
11:08 Let's go to the rear now, let's reverse it and
11:19 back to the front. Come on ladies we're having fun,
11:33 smile and back, 15 seconds okay get ready
11:51 and hold it but keep stepping.
11:56 Arms are out straight, palms are down,
12:02 we wanna have nice strong shoulders that's
12:04 important, to both men and women.
12:07 See so often women loss their pastures especially
12:10 in their upper back and neck area.
12:12 We're gonna try and work that just a little bit here
12:14 and this is a great way of starting it. Hold it up there,
12:21 30 more seconds, down to 20, now we down to ten,
12:49 3, 2, and 1. Alright, step out to this side, step,
12:55 step, step, step, step, step, step, left, right, left,
13:05 right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left,
13:13 right, left, right, good going. Big steps now,
13:22 way out and back, back, good, way out, stretched it out,
13:30 so work on stretching inside of the thigh,
13:33 also work in the outside, big steps, big steps.
13:46 Okay shorten and back up again, we go for another
13:54 minute here, now big steps again way out, out,
14:01 out, out, out, out, way out, keep it up.
14:09 Step, step, step, step, good, shorten it back
14:15 up again, 30 seconds to go. Big steps go, big, big,
14:32 big steps, big, step, step, step, step. Way out,
14:39 step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step,
14:47 step, step, good. Okay, step it out, okay lose step,
14:55 we're gonna roll our shoulders up and back.
15:09 Now, let's go to the front, up and around,

16:08 good and up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down,
16:19 up, down, up, down, up, down, again this is working
16:26 that upper back area, up around the neck.
16:29 So many women I see have 45 degree head tilts,
16:34 it's not good posture we need to be standing up
16:35 straight. Working the muscles in the upper back
16:39 will help that, good keep it going, keep going.

27:12 Alright ladies, thanks a lot, we're all done.
27:16 Even though, this was called especially for women,
27:18 it would be a great workout for men as well.
27:20 The thing you ladies wanna remember is work
27:22 on your upper back area, work around the neck area,
27:24 so it'll help keep your neck up, keep your shoulders
27:26 back and keep you in good posture,
27:28 you'll feel so much better. But also remember
27:30 that true beauty comes from within,
27:32 not from without. We're to glorify God with our bodies,
27:35 but not for a corruptible crown,
27:37 we want an incorruptible one that can never
27:39 be take away. And that's with our characters,
27:42 so remember, train to the glory of God and claim
27:44 the promise of Philippians 4:13, I can do all things
27:47 through Christ, who strengthens me,
27:49 God bless you, keep exercising,
27:51 we'll see you next time.
