WALK, DON'T RUN

Hello and welcome everyone! Monday through Saturday I work out for 90 minutes at a local high school track. During this time period I see about a dozen men and women walking and a few are jogging. When I ask why they are at the track...their response, "to exercise." Then they add..."to lose the tummy." During any given week I am able to talk with 20 to 30 people. Many are beginners to the exercise world. In one of my earlier blogs I discussed the benefits of walking when trying to lose tummy fat. The added benefit...you trim and tone your entire body. You realize (see) the benefits in 7 days when you walk 30 minutes a day. Beginners start with a leisure walk and gradually pick up the pace. In the second week you may want to jog for about 30 yards, then walk for 100 yards. Vary your exercise routine. By the third week you may even try walking with a half pound weight in each hand, moving your arms up and down as you walk. During a 30 minute walk you should drink at least 6 oz of water. Add lemon juice in your water. When the humidity is high, you need to drink more water. We lose up to 30% of muscle power in high humidity. Walking is much more beneficial for "tummy weight loss" then sit ups or crunches. Words to live by...WALK! WALK! WALK!

Have a great life everyone! JIMMY O
