Resolutions***

 

Another year has gone by, and as we begin another New Year, everyone talks of making resolutions for the beginning of the New Year.  We all wish for peace in the world and the safe return of the men and women in our armed forces. 

 

 And of course, we all make resolutions of one sort or another. We resolve to lose weight, stop smoking, and improve our diets, or in someway hope to improve our health in one-way or another. Of course we have the best of intentions at this particular time, unfortunately these good intentions start to fade away as time goes by, usually within a few weeks or months.

 

To overcome the regression of our resolve, we need to find a goal that will remain with us throughout the year. I have a suggestion that will improve every ones health and help them to live a more vigorous and active lifestyle. 

 

Over the years I have tried to instill in everyone the need to exercise and be active in our daily lives. I have written several articles to this effect in previous newsletters and in the Doctor’s Journal. I will give you the names of the articles latter in the health hints below.

 

This newsletter is for those of you who do not exercise and are not particularly active during the course of your daily lives. In other words you are basically “couch potatoes”. Whether you know it or not, you can be reducing your lifespan by 5 to 9 years during the course of your life.   

 

  1. Throughout my practice of over 53 years as a Chiropractor, I told my patients of the importance of exercise for their health and particular ailments. I would show them special exercises they should do to alleviate their aches and pains. Unfortunately, during most of this time I never practiced the adage of “physician heal thy-self”. It wasn’t until my own health would require an intervention that I realized it was time to start my own exercise program.

 

My dilemma was two-fold. There was no time and I didn’t particularly like going to a gym. The only solution was to develop an exercise program that I could do at home, without devoting too much time and not having to buy a lot of equipment and gadgets. I started experimenting with different exercises back in 1996 and finally after about 8 months, I developed a group of exercises that met with my criteria.

 

After two years of doing this exercise myself on a daily basis, and recommending them for my patients, I was so pleased with the results that I decided to produce a video of the program. The video is called “Doctor’s Senior Exercise”. It can be found on my website: www.doctorsexercise.com  

 

The program itself is so simple. It takes only 15 to 20 minutes. It can be performed anywhere, anytime, even when traveling. It requires no special equipment or gadgets, just your desire to do it. I prefer doing it first thing in the morning. I have found by doing the exercises in the morning, it loosens up all the muscles and joints and is a perfect way to start your day. There are 5 exercises lying down and 5 exercises standing up. Learn how this particular exercise program will impact your health in the health hints below.

Earlier in this newsletter I mentioned other articles you can read at: www.doctorsexercise.com In the Doctor’s Journal read about the, “Benefits of Exercising At Home”, and, “Aerobic Versus Anaerobic” dated 6/7/04. You may also want to check “The Borg Perceived Exertion Scale”, dated 1/23/00. This scale will help identify the intensity of your workout when you are exercising.

 

After all is said and done, do you know of a better investment you can make by only applying 15 to 20 minutes of your time on a daily basis?   Have a fabulous NEW YEAR!!
