New Physical Activity Guidelines Released
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008
From an Article at ACE Fitness:
“Thanksgiving kicks off a season when Americans typically spend the next six weeks enjoying their favorite holiday treats only to make it their New Year’s resolution to shed the extra three to seven pounds they’ve put on.
With two-thirds of Americans already being overweight or obese, additional holiday pounds can wreak more havoc on people’s bodies than the obvious extra padding. Holiday stress and excess calories can precipitate attacks of angina or even a heart attack in people with underlying disease.
Therefore, the new exercise guidelines, released last month by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, are just in time to get an entire population moving.
Mobile Fitness Centers
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Some healthcare plans are offering mobile fitness centers to help kids get in shape.
Shreveport Seniors Participate in Water Aerobics
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008
Water aerobics is a great low-impact, high-benefit exercise. It is can be defined as “rhythmic dance or exercise steps performed in usually chest deep water.” The Shreveport Times has a recent article about local Shreveport residents using water aerobics to combat their arthritis.
Judy Brewer and Robert Burton shared an early morning laugh as they dried off after their water aerobics session at the Southern Hills Pool.
The low-impact exercise has many health benefits for seniors and many in the group are searching for ways to continue the program year-round. “It’s been a great program,” Brewer said.
She drives from Shreve City to attend the program. “I’m not intimidated. There are all shapes and sizes and colors. It’s fun, and the fellowship is why I come,” she said.
For the past 12 weeks at the crack of dawn each Monday through Friday, an average of 32 seniors jump into the Southern Hills pool.
For late risers, there was also an evening class at 8 p.m. Burton has partaken of water aerobics for three years now.
“It’s great for your joints and arthritis,” he said.

The Cookie Diet: Another Weight Loss Fad
Thursday, August 7th, 2008If this isn’t a sign of the world going crazy, then I don’t know what is. One of the most popular fad diets on the internet right now is the “cookie diet.” Supposedly this diet consist of eating cookies during the day and just eating one meal - dinner - each day. There are actually several variations on the cookie diet, but they are all based on the same concept.
I always recommend that my personal training clients stay away from these kind of “fad” diets and instead follow a balanced nutrition plan that includes sufficient servings of fruits and vegetables. Combine that with regular doses of physical activity and you will see results! Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss this further.
Exercise Helps Alzheimer’s Patients Preserve Memory
Monday, July 28th, 2008Researchers at the University of Kansas medical center have discovered that physically fit Alzheimer’s patients have larger hippocampuses, a part of the brain, than their counterparts who were not as physically fit. The hippocampus is the part of the brain that is very important in memory and learning. This is the first study that showed an actual physical size difference in the brains of those who are physically fit. This gives us another good reason to exercise and stay fit, whether it is with a personal trainer, working out at your house, or working out at a gym.
Physically fit Alzheimer’s patients had larger hippocampuses, the brain structure key to memory, than those who weren’t as well conditioned, said researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center, in Kansas City, Kansas, who are scheduled to present the results today at the Alzheimer’s Association’s International Conference. Research released earlier this month linked exercise and brain volume in Alzheimer’s disease for the first time.
Before these studies, research focused on healthy people, showing exercise improves thinking by boosting blood flow and growth hormones in the brain. These findings suggest the same could be true for those with Alzheimer’s. In normal aging, the brain’s 100 billion nerve cells die. The disease accelerates the process, attacking the hippocampus first.
“This is the first time we actually have a structural change we haven’t seen before and gives us an avenue for further investigation,” Lisa Ravdin, director of Neuropsychology at New York-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medical College in Manhattan who was not involved in the study.
