One easy way to walk more One easy way to walk more

Description:
Want an easy way to walk more? Try a pedometer. A new study shows that people who use pedometers walk much farther than people who don't.
A pedometer clips onto your belt and tracks how many steps you take each day. At the end of the day, you simply look at the digital display and see how many steps you have taken.
The study, published in this month's Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, found that overweight, inactive women did better when they were given a pedometer and told to take 10,000 steps, compared to women who were given a sealed pedometer and told to walk for thirty minutes.
When women could count their steps using the pedometer, they not only met the goal, they walked an average of 2,000 steps extra on days they went on walks. And on other days, they still walked more than they usually did. Women who couldn't see their pedometer's display did go on the 30 minute walk sometimes, but when they didn't, they weren't as active as the other women.
Write it down – jot down the number of steps you've taken during the day and you'll have a record of how far you really are walking every day. Even on un-energetic days, you'll see your past successes down on paper.Notice those steps – you may be surprised to see how many steps you take running an errand, strolling through a store, or even walking to the mailbox. Notice how many steps you take doing everyday things and you'll stay motivated.

Walk for fun Walk for fun

Description:
Did you know that the simple act of walking benefits your body in incredible ways? This low-impact activity reduces your risk of the number one cause of death in the United States – heart disease. It also helps prevent: high blood pressure, stroke, cancer and diabetes.
- Reduce the risk of nerve damage in diabetics – only 6.5% of walkers had nerve damage, compared with 30% of non-walkers.
- Prevent hip fractures in postmenopausal women – just 30 minutes a day reduces risk by 40%.
- Reduce the risk of stroke in women – experts suspect this is due to maintaining healthy weight, keeping blood pressure at a healthy level, and increasing “good” HDL cholesterol.
To get started, take a stroll through a local park, nature trail, or just step outside and meander through your neighborhood. If the weather is too chilly, try walking around your local mall – many malls offer walking programs which meet before the mall opens – you can meet new friends, exercise and window-shop all at the same time!
Tip: If walking for 30 minutes, 5 days a week sounds challenging, start by walking for one minute a day. Each day, add one minute to your walk – in only 30 days you’ll be walking for 30 minutes! And don’t forget, those little steps you take every day add up – walking to the mailbox, cleaning the house, even walking around the grocery store – use a pedometer to see how quickly little steps add up to big results.
Count every step towards your health goals with TriVita’s easy-to-read pedometer.

Try these exercises to help you get fit and feel younger
The ads for gyms need to catch up with the times! It's time to replace the 20 and 30 year olds in tank tops and bicycle shorts with athletic men and women in their 50s and 60s.
If we're to believe a recent survey - 70 and 80 year olds are now exercising in gyms! Babyboomers and adults who used to be considered sedentary are getting on treadmills and elliptical trainers in larger numbers. Why? Because exercise makes everyone look and feel younger while helping us stay healthier!
If you'd like to join the new fitness revolution, but it's been awhile since you have exercised read through our exercise basics before you begin and consult with your health care provider. If you're a regular exerciser, look at expanding your exercise routine to improve your overall health!
Cardiovascular exercises
Experts recommend at least 20-minutes, three times a week. More is better, but walking for less than 20 minutes is better for your health than doing nothing.
Walking - Try to do a little more every week to increase the time you spend walking for exercise.
If you can only do five minutes a day, two times a day during the first week - that's fine. The following week add a minute to each work out and gradually work up to 20 minutes, three times daily.
Swimming - Improves your flexibility and cardiovascular health at the same time!
Bicycling - Bicycling is easy on the joints while boosting cardiovascular health. If you don't bicycle outdoors, you can get the same benefit on a stationary bike in a gym.
Stretches
Improve flexibility and help reduce injuries. Do these moves before doing cardiovascular and strength-training exercises. Quadriceps stretches - Lie on your side with legs straight. Bend your top leg at the knee and grasp your foot or ankle with your top hand. Pull back slightly until you feel a stretch in your upper thigh. Hold for 5 seconds, release. Do 5 - 6 times, each side.
Chair stretches - Sit in a straight-back chair with feet flat on the floor. Slowly bend at your waist and touch the floor with your fingers, if you're able. Hold for 5 seconds and slowly sit up. Do 5 - 6 times.
Side torso stretches - Stand straight, feet shoulder length apart. Raise right arm above head and stretch up - and slightly to the left. Hold for 5 seconds, then slowly straighten and lower arm. Do 5 - 6 times, each side.
Quadriceps stretches - Lie on your
side with legs straight. Bend your top leg at the knee and grasp your foot or ankle with your top hand. Pull back slightly until you feel a stretch in your upper thigh. Hold for 5 seconds, release. Do 5 - 6 times, each side.
Strength training
Don't let strength training intimidate you - resistance bands will help you to maintain and build healthy muscles and bones. Here are two examples to help you get started.
Read the packages to see if the resistance bands provide light, medium or heavy resistance. If you have not been regularly strength training, begin with light bands.
Lateral Rows - stand on the band, feet are hip width apart and knees are slightly bent. Grip ends with palms facing each other and arms hanging at sides. Raise band to side of body, try to get to shoulder height, then return to start position.
Biceps Curls - stand on band, feet are hip width apart and knees are slightly bent. Grip ends with palms facing forward and hands in front of thighs. Raise band, keeping elbows against body until arm looks like a "V". Return bands to starting position.
Core strengthening
The core muscles are the muscles that make up the torso and they support the shoulders, back and pelvis. Since all movement is generated from the core, it's important to keep it strong to help stabilize muscles and protect against injury. Try these core strengthening moves:
Ab crunch - Lie on your back and place your feet against a wall so your knees and hips are bent about 90-degrees. Tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your head and shoulders off the floor. Hold for 5 seconds, lower and repeat.
Superman - Lie on your stomach with legs straight and arms overhead. Lift head, right arm and left leg off ground and stretch arm and leg in opposite directions. Hold stretch for 5 seconds and slowly lower head, arm and leg to ground. Do 5 - 6 times, each side.
The face of American fitness may be aging, but our bodies aren't! We're hitting walking and biking trails, jogging and lifting weights to feel better today, healthier tomorrow. Join the fitness revolution - keep moving and you'll feel and act younger!
