Exercise


How much do you exercise? I bet you can't do what my little great grandson is doing. Oh, to be as limber as a child. It gets so you are lucky to touch your toes standing up as you age. It is so much fun to watch a baby discover his or her toes and feet. They love to put them in their mouth. It is a cute stage of development.

Elliptical

You know you have been promising yourself that you would exercise. And you also know that you have put it off way too long. Now is the time to get an elliptical. This is the website to check out for a great Memorial Day sale on them. They really work your entire body. My daughter got one and I tried it out and I couldn't believe all the parts of the body that it works. It is great for everyone to have and spend their spare minutes working out with one. We have looked at them uptown and I know you will not find a better buy that at this website.

Tony Little Gazelle

The Gazelle is the best exercise machine that we have found that works for us. It is low impact and easy on your knees. My husband didn't think he liked it at first and always walked 2 miles a day uptown but that got boring. Then the weather turned cold and he decided to try the Gazelle. He found it worked his legs better than just walking uptown did. We both walk 30 minutes a day and that is great for your health and body. Today it is so hot you wouldn't want to walk far but you can walk on the Gazelle in front of a fan or air conditioning on days like this and enjoy your walk. We have it in front of the television so it doesn't get a bit boring.

Health and Exercise

We have our second Tony Little Gazelle. We bought the first one about 15 years ago. At first my husband thought it wasn't much of an exercise machine because he had a treadmill and he thought that walking on that gave him much better exercise. Then he started walking uptown, 2 miles a day, until it started getting icy and snowy. That was when he decided he would try the Gazelle, because I had been walking on it for years. He soon found that the muscles of his legs got more exercise than they did when he walked uptown and outside.

The doctor suggested that both me and my husband walk a total of 30 minutes a day for our health. We made sure that we walked that long each day and even longer sometimes. We wore out the old Gazelle and ordered a new one. It is a little lighter weight but it also takes up a bit less room. We have it right in front of the television set so you can keep up with your programs and the news and you don't get bored. One of the most important things you can do for yourself is exercise. Some people run at the gym, others workout at the YMCA or swim. It doesn't matter what kind of exercise you choose as long as you are consistent and exercise daily. You will feel like a new person if you have been a couch potato.

Tony Little Gazelle Exercise Machine

We hunted all over today and went to 5 sports stores, 3 big stores like Wal-Mart, Sears and Target and saw everything but what we wanted. We decided to cancel the parts for our Gazelle which is 10 years old because they wouldn't come until March 3rd. So we went online and found what we wanted, gave them a call and they are shipping it free to the house in 7 to 10 days. It is about the same, maybe slightly smaller. Only difference we could really see was the weight limit on our old one was 350# and this one is 250# and neither of us is that heavy and the warranty was the same as one twice the price. We have been exercising 30 minutes and more every day on it and really miss it. I moved the exercise bike in front of the TV where the Gazelle sat for the time being and will ride it instead. It is better than having it in the bedroom away from everything.

Our Exercise Machine

We have a Gazelle machine like Tony Little advertises on TV. We really like it because it is low impact walking and you can do all kinds of things on it. You can go as fast or as slow as you wish, but you must be sure to bend your knees when you are walking on it. It has a timer so you know how long you have walked, how fast and how many calories you have burned. My husband walks 20 minutes a day but I do good to get 10 minutes in on it. It is great in the winter when the snow flies. Much better than trying to walk outside.

Should Doctor's Prescribe Exercise

How about you? Would you be more likely to exercise if the doctor wrote you a prescription for exercise? Chances are, I wouldn't, but many others might. Two University of Michigan physicians say that it is important for primary care doctors to councel their patients about the benefits of exercise and physical activity. One way would be to show the patient the connection between the patient's sedentary lifestyle and the medical problems he or she may be having. They shared a number of ways doctors could approach the subject of exercise. Exercise is good for everyone whether they have health problems or not.

Losing Weight

there are an estimated 20.0 million people who have diabetes in the United States, both children and adults. Research has shown that physical activity can greatly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as well as the complications that go with it. Studies show that exercising 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, along with moderate weight loss can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It can also reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by nearly 60%. See diabetes.org for more information on reducing risks.
