Excuses, Excuses
by Dr. Robert Osgoodby
WARNING!! Always seek the advice of a Medical
Doctor before
starting, or making changes in your diet or exercise
program.
In today's fast paced world, sometimes it can
be challenging to
find the time to get to the gym to workout.
I am sure you have
heard many people say, "There just aren't enough
hours in the
day." The number one excuse for not training
on a regular basis
is not being able to find the time.
Ninety nine percent of all excuses are not valid!
If you are
serious about getting in shape, and if it is
a top priority,
nothing will get in the way of you achieving
your goal. If you
want something bad enough, it is amazing what
you will do to get
it. Here are a few things you can do to
eliminate the "I don't
have time" excuse.
1. Get up an hour earlier, or stay up an
hour later. Dedicate
this extra hour of time to
training and achieving your
fitness goals. Fact:
Most people spend more time sleeping
than they need to. Eight
or nine hours of sleep can be
great, but by no means necessary
to maintain your health and
let you feel good.
Personally, I find it easier and more effective
to get up an hour
earlier and train first thing in the morning
for two reasons.
Training first thing in the morning increases
your metabolism and
keeps you burning calories at an increased rate
throughout the
day. Another great reason to train first
thing is to eliminate
the possibility of procrastination and blowing
off a workout. By
the end of the day, the last thing in the world
you want to do
after a long day of work and responsibility is
workout. Getting
your training in first thing will also increase
your energy level
and make you feel good about yourself.
It gives you a sense of
accomplishment which will help you tackle the
rest of your day
and insane schedule with a smile.
I am sure that at least one "morning person" reading
this said to
themselves, "Get up an hour earlier, he must
be out of his mind!"
Even if you get up half an hour earlier, this
equates to three
and a half hours of exercise time a week that
you didn't have
before. With only investing a half hour
a day, you can get
quick, noticeable results.
2. Put together a home exercise program
for those days you just
can't get to the gym.
For about $150.00, you can buy some
dumbbells, a bench, and a
floor mat for abdominal training.
Although you can not get as
thorough a workout as you could
in a health club - it's better
than nothing! Herschel
Walker, a pro football player,
has one of the best physiques
around and he has never touched
a weight! His workout
consists of push-ups, sit-ups,
and cardiovascular exercise.
You can get great results
sticking to the basics. Remember,
consistency and intensity
are your key ingredients for
success.
If money is an issue and you can't afford to buy
the equipment
mentioned above, all you need is a VCR.
There are hundreds of
great video tapes designed for toning, weight
loss and fat
burning. If you don't want to go to a gym,
this allows you to
exercise in the privacy and comfort of your own
home.
All exercise video tapes are designed with music
as a background.
Music is a powerful tool when it comes to exercise.
It lifts
your spirits and increases your enthusiasm.
Music also takes
your mind off the clock and makes your workouts
seem to go
faster.
Exercise to music that you enjoy. If you
like music from the
50's, 60's and 70's, Richard Simmons "Sweating
To The Oldies", or
Cory Everson's "Step In Time" are great beginner
level programs.
If you like martial arts and self defense, purchase
a tae bo
tape.
If you are in decent shape, semi-coordinated and
like today's
dance music, you can choose from several of MTV's
"The Grind
Workout Hip Hop Aerobics", Paula Abdul's, "Get
Up And Dance",
Milo Levell's "Hip Hop Body Shop", Kathy Smith's
"Latin Rhythm
Workout", or Christy Lane's "Funky Freestyle
Dancing."
If you have two left feet like me, you will quickly
be able to
master Denise Austin's Xtralite Beginner's Aerobics.
All of these tapes and hundreds more are available
for sale at
most music and major department stores.
If you want to check out
a tape before you buy it, most of these video
tapes can also be
rented at your local video store.
Incorporating these simple principles into your
daily routine
will make it much easier for you to stick to
the program, improve
your health, and move closer to your fitness
goals.

This fat guy told his doctor that he wasn't able
to do all the
things around the house that he used to do. When
the examination
was complete, he said, "Now, Doc, I can take
it. Tell me in plain
English what is wrong with me."
"Well, in plain English," the doctor replied,
"you're just
lazy."
"Okay," said the man. "Now give me the medical
term so I can
tell my wife."

Dear Dr. Osgoodby:
I have been drinking Predator Sports protein meal
replacement
shake every day for breakfast as a post work-out
recovery shake.
I know it contains vitamins a minerals, should
I also be taking a
multivitamin?
Brian Conway

Dear Brian:
Thanks for the e-mail. If you are doing at least
one shake a day,
there is no need to also take a multi-vitamin.
Predator Sports
protein meal replacement shake contains a Hoffman
LaRoche vitamin
pack which provides you with the 29 essential
vitamins and
minerals that your body needs. If you are
also eating a healthy
diet which contains several servings a day of
both fruit and
vegetables, you should be fine. If you have any
health problems
where you would have special dietary needs, I
suggest you consult
with a Registered Dietician or Medical Doctor.

********How do I Get There From Here?********
by James Groves
Your
Mom was right. Vegetables are good for you!
This the third health tip in a series about simple,
easy to
follow steps to improving health. Take each small
step I give
you and turn it into a habit, just like combing
your hair or
brushing your teeth.
Your mom was right, vegetables are good for you.
The new
government guidelines now suggest 7 to 9 servings
of fruits and
vegetables per day not just four or five.
It is through these
servings that we take in fiber. The foods highest
in fiber
include peas, apples, pears, and pinto beans.
Fruits and vegetables also contain immune-boosting
phyto-
chemicals including antioxidants, which boost
your immune system
and promote good health.
Here are some ideas to help you increase your
intake of fruits
and vegetables each day. Add a green salad
to your dinner meal
every day. Add an assortment of vegetables
to this salad such as
carrots, red cabbage, radishes, cucumbers, alfalfa
sprouts,
peppers, whatever you can find that is in season.
Try to eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
If you don't have the
time to cook only fresh vegetables, then buy
frozen bags and
don't overcook them. Try to avoid canned vegetables
because 60%
of the vitamin C content is lost during the blanching
process, a
process that takes place before vegetables are
canned. And only
6% of vitamin C is left in canned peas by the
time you serve them
to your family.
I suggest that you either purchase organically
grown fruits and
vegetables or use a special rinse product called
Healthy Harvest
Fruit & Vegetable Rinse, available at most
health food stores.
This special rinse helps to protect your family
from pesticides
used on most fruits and vegetables.
Encourage all of your family members to snack
on raw vegetables
and fresh fruit rather than cookies or a sweet
snack. Add fruit
to breakfast cereal or oatmeal. Offer fruit
smoothies for
breakfast or add fruit to yogurt. Send
fruit and raw vegetables
in your children's lunches and offer these as
dessert rather than
ice cream or pie. Keep offering and eventually
everyone in the
family will be enjoying the benefits of fresh
fruit and raw
vegetables.
Join me next month and I'll show you that "Butter
Really is
Better".
Live in Passion and Good Health,
James Groves

Dr. Earl Mindell's Wellness Update
==================================
In a study of 60 postmenopausal women, researchers
attempted to
find out how much calcium was really needed to
stave off bone
loss and osteoporosis. One group of women was
given 1,000 mg a
day of supplemental calcium, one group was given
four glasses of
milk a day, and the final group took placebo
pills.
The placebo group took in, through diet, an average
of 683 mg a
day of calcium, and they had a measured bone
loss in the hip of
three percent over the two-year study. Women
in the milk group
took in 1,028 mg a day of calcium and lost minimal
amounts of
bone. The group that took supplemental calcium
got an average of
1,633 mg a day, lost no bone from the hip, and
had a significant
increase in bone density in the spine and leg
bones.
The sooner you take action to preserve bone, the
less likely
you'll be to end up with osteoporosis. Every
adult woman should
take at least 1,000 mg a day of calcium, and
should make an
effort to include calcium-rich foods such as
tofu, broccoli,
organic dairy products, and almonds in their
diets.
Stay Healthy,
Dr. Earl Mindell
