Hot Fitness Tip of the Week

Exercise science and medical professionals recommend progression-continued improvement-for health, functional ability and optimal quality of life. Progression, means the gradual increase of overload placed on the body during training. Continued improvement requires systematic increase, which can be accomplished in several ways. Increase the load, add repetitions, alter the speed of the repetitions according to program goals, shorten or expand the rest period between sets, increase the volume of overall work, or a combination of these. Variation of volume and intensity are emphasized for long-term progression. Both linear and non-linear periodization, or variability, may be used for effective variation of exercise. Linear refers to a high initial training volume (number of repetitions and sets) and low intensity (less weight), gradually progressing to lower volume and higher intensity (more weight). Non-linear periodization enables variation by rotating different loading schemes for the core exercises of different parts of the body over a seven-to-ten-day cycle. more...

Words of Inspiration

LIVING WITH COURAGE : Compare Your life span to lighting a candle. If your life is being controlled by your fears, you are most certainly cheating yourself. Courage is the mental muscle that conquers fear. Like all muscles, the more you use them the stronger they become. Courage is not something you are born with, it must be developed. A little courage leads to more. Individuals who fail to develop courage, remain confined in mental prisons and face each day as mental lightweights. Learn to live the way you like by no longer living as you dislike. Forge into the remainder of your day with an abundance of courage. That's living!

Article of the Week

Yoga for Runners: Cancer patients often find themselves in distracted states of mind bombarded as they are by frightening, sometimes contradictory, information, subjected to invasive, painful procedures, and not-always-compassionate medical care. When our minds are so grievously disturbed, we may find it impossible to make crucial decisions or relate satisfactorily to our family and friends. Practicing Pranayam, meditation and relaxation help in reliving tension. When the tension is released, energy can flow more easily in the body and allow patients to experience a sense of well-being and strength a balance of body, mind, and spirit. The most compelling reason why cancer patients are turning to yoga is that: It shows us how a person stricken with a serious illness, instead of ""running away"" from their threatened body, Patients can connect more strongly to their body and Begin to experience self-empowerment and well-being.
