First human tests of new biosensor that warns when athletes are about to 'hit the wall'

Shoes - The real support to your Bodies Health!



I have set a new goal for myself. I decided to do my first Sprint Triathlon. 1/4 mile swim, 10 mile bike and a 3.1 mile run. I started training last week and tried to push through the pain in the side of my foot just below the Big Toe and ignore the fact that my 3rd and 4th toes were sleeping on the job. Once the inflammation and pain had gotten so bad that even the blankets on the bed touching my foot was excruciating, it was time to see what was really going on. I now have had a steroid shot in the side of my foot - needles don't bother me but when there is no flesh to actually cushion the puncture! It wasn't that bad though. I now have to go for an MRI to see if this is only bursitis. I think the hardest part was being told by my doctor that I shouldn't be running until we find out exactly what the issue is. NOOOOO!!!!!  I tried to slip in Roller Blading and that was a big NO too. He revoked my roller blading privileges. I am allowed to swim so this will be a plus for the Sprint in September.

All this leads to Shoes. You have to have good athletic shoes to support your activity. Did you know there are many different models for each activity. If you are running only there is a shoe, if you are doing boot camps there is a different shoe, if you stand all day - yes, a different shoe. Each of these will have different flexibilities, supports, cushioning and stabilizers. Who knew! Each brand / model of shoe will correct if you pronate or supinate when you walk and run. I went to see my good friends Peggy and Rachael at The Run Shoppe in Cape Coral, Fl. to see what they could do for me. I found out that when I walk and run, I step with the outside of my heel and roll to the inside towards the big toe. They had shoes to correct this! I also did not have to wear the arch supports separate in my shoes anymore either. I really suggest you go to a professional runners shop to have them evaluate your walking and running form to be sure you get the exact shoe for you.

 

Shoes not meant for your feet can cause foot, ankle, knee, hip, back and even shoulder issues.

Think of it this way.... if you foot is rolling to the outside edge when you walk and run, you are actually twisting the ankle which causes a odd angle on the knee joint so it can't track in a straight line. This can cause sore hip joints and may make one hip sit higher than the other. Guess where this goes? To the spine and causing lower back pain and a curve laterally that can "pinch" or irritate the sciatic nerve in one side or the other just above the booty cheeks. The curving of spine can cause shoulder irritation, neck pain or headaches!

 

WOW! All this just from incorrect shoe support. Many issues can be corrected by just getting fitted with the correct shoes by a running specialist. Your local department stores most likely do not have this experience. They just want the sale, not your comfort.

 

Remember, let you shoes be the support to your new Healthy Fit Lifestyle. Your body will love you!

 

Talk you soon.

GETTING ON IN YEARS? EXERCISE POWER OVER YOUR AGE!

(Fort Myers January 7, 2013) - The New Year promises to be a happy one for tens of millions of older Americans, including those living in our area: new research confirms that exercise and good nutrition go a long way toward improving their health, quality of life, and longevity.

Researchers found that regular physical activity combined with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and healthy fats, lowers the risk of developing common age-related illnesses, including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

It's actually quite simple, Physical fitness and good eating habits prevent obesity, which, as we all know, strains the heart and body, eventually leading to all kinds of life-threatening diseases. So it is logical that if you exercise and follow a healthy diet, your body will be more resistant to aches, pains and illnesses that effect overweight people.

Physical activity will also prevent or improve other age-related conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's disease, as well as various disabilities.

The following workouts performed on regular basis will boost health and longevity in baby boomers and seniors:

Cardio is necessary not just for the strong and healthy heart (which is a huge benefit in itself), but also for the brain. Recent research from Mayo Clinic shows that any physical activity that increases the heart rate and flow of the oxygen-rich blood to the brain encourages the formation of new brain cells. Not only will this help boost cognitive abilities, but also reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

By building muscle strength and increasing bone mass and density - all of which weaken as we get older,  resistance training is certainly a "must-do."

Balance exercises are especially important because good coordination and stability will help to prevent injuries caused by falls - a big problem among seniors.

Flexibility training will make you more supple, increase your range of motion, decrease muscular tension, and also strengthen your joints, tendons and ligaments - all of which is important to prevent or relieve the pain and discomfort of arthritis.

 

And don't think that only older people need to pay attention to these guidelines. Folks of all ages will benefit from physical activity and healthy nutrition. The sooner you start taking good care of yourself, the better off you'll be when you become a senior.

IMMUNITY BOOSTING EXERCISES ARE NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT

LOCAL BOOT CAMP OWNER SAYS IMMUNITY BOOSTING EXERCISES ARE NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT　

 

(Fort Myers, October 23, 2012) --With autumn officially here, we become more prone to colds, coughs, sneezes, sniffles, runny noses, and sore throats that will make us feel miserable through the next few months. 　

 "As seasons and weather change, our immune system becomes more vulnerable and less resistant to various infections," says Sue Meredith, owner of Fort Myers/Cape Coral Adventure Boot Camp.
 

"The good news is that something as simple as regular exercise can keep all those pesky viruses, germs and bacteria at bay," Coach Sue says. "Among many other benefits of physical exercise, it is also a great boost to the immune system." 　
 

In fact, research cited by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), a leading organization in sports medicine and exercise science,shows that regular exercise can help boost the immune system by either stopping viruses in their tracks before they attack, or by reducing the duration of cold symptoms by half as compared to those who do not exercise. 　
 

These findings are borne by various studies demonstrating that regular exercise produces Macrophages, the cells that defend the body against bacteria. 　

"During a moderate workout, these cells circulate through the body, killing viruses and bacteria," Sue notes. "And although the immune system returns to its pre-exercise levels very quickly, each workout session appears to reduce the risk of infection over the long term." 　
 

That may explain why - as studies indicate - people who work out regularly report fewer colds than non-exercisers.　
 

"Certainly, exercise is not a cure-all for whatever ails you, and even the most ardent fitness aficionados will get sick once in a while," Sue says. "However, there is all this compelling evidence suggesting that exercise may lower your risks of common infections."　
 

Now that you know just how beneficial regular workouts can be for your immune system, what kind of fitness regimen should you choose? "Luckily, exercises that are most effective in strengthening the immune system are also those that are great for your heart, weight control, and your health in general, so it's a 'win-win' situation," Coach Sue says. "Boot camps are really terrific because they focus on the entire body, as well as core and cardiovascular fitness, balance, strength and agility."　
 

And since boot camp is a fun outdoors workout, there is less risk of picking up germs and getting bored with a regimen that is either monotonous or inside a gym. 

 

"If boosting your immune system - and health in general - is your goal, then you certainly shouldn't choose a fitness routine that will get you into a rut and will make you want to give up," Sue advises. "The point is to make exercising so enjoyable that you will want to continue. And boot camps do just that."
