Warning

Welcome everyone...an old saying...you are what you eat. I teamed up with several research teams and this is what we found, Stay away from ALL packaged meats and meat substitutes. Damning. Also, some grains...bulgur, oatmeal, couscour, quinoa, barley, millet, brown. I know, I was mislead also. No matter your status re
training...lets stay with research. Don't undermine our health. Honor to the men and women who lost their lives and those are serving now...let us not forget their families. Jimmy O

Pre Hab

Welcome everyone...most of you are familiar with rehab...Prehab is a new word and treatment for both injury and illness. I began designing this  over two years ago. The beginning  really began over 10 years ago when a local hospital retained my services in treating heart patients. Soon 2/3 medical facilities will install this program in the treatment of patients prior to surgery. Introducing patients to fitness treatments prior to the surgery...getting the mental and physical accustomed to certain "structured" exercises. In my mind, the program is critical for a full and complete recovery. The structured "Prehab" is also a "bridge" from patient's discharge to at home recovery. One other note...I overheard some athlete's arguing over amount of time training vs. competing. "It isn't fair." Comment..."when and what is sufficient time training?" In track and field, I'm a sprinter, 50m., 100m,. 200m., add long jump and high jump. Time training...37,440 min., 624 hours in a year's time. I have 14 sec. in the 100m to prove myself, 32 sec. in the 200m., and 7 sec., in the 50m. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

Healing

Welcome everyone...the adult body pumps 7,500 liters (1,500-2,000) gallons of blood daily. An adult contains about five qts. of blood and continually circulates throughout the body. Average heart beats 72x per min. called heart rate. I realize you already know this but, it's a good reminder. Adequate blood flow heals. That's one of the  reasons one should move those muscles...a warm up is critical. A friend of mine, a physical therapist, says "you should work up a sweat in your warm up." In rehab, even when applying cold packs, slowly work the muscles for blood flow and healing faster. Lite stretching. For us sprinters, popping a ham string comes with the territory. Through warm up is a good preventative. We need to value our health...let's not take it for granted. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

Challenge

Welcome everyone...There comes a time in everyone's life that you are faced with a "life defining moment." You either cave or face it...accept the challenge and overcome it. Covid 19 presents such a challenge. So, to all of you...and in particular our youth...2020 graduates, accept your diplomas...emboss on the face with the words, "defeated Novid 19." Your defining moment, your trademark...your reference for who you are and what you stand for. This is your life...thank you. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com
