Health and fitness tips Keep up with Calcium

Health and fitness tips Keep up with Calcium
Use What You Can
If you have an injury in one of your arms, make sure you keep exercising the other arm.
Studies have shown that continuing to exercise the other arm, you will build strength in
non-exercising arm through stimulation of muscle fiber.
Protect Your Neck
If you do squats, make sure you rest as much of the bar as possible on your shoulders. This
will release pressure from your neck, which would otherwise lead to injury.
Rest Your Body
Every six weeks, cut your training frequency and miles in half. This will give your body a
much-needed chance to repair itself, so you are less likely to sustain long-term damage.
Putt with Prowess
Overestimate your break; you’ll find that if you double your predicted break, you’ll come
far closer to being right
Become a Better Runner
Wanna run faster? Lift weights. Studies have shown that weightlifting for 8 weeks can
improve your running time significantly.
Trim Your Stomach
Suck in your belly as much as you can for 10 seconds while sustaining normal breathing. Do 5
reps daily, and you’ll eventually see results.

Catch Baseballs Better
If the sun is shining and a ball is coming toward you, use your mitt to shield your eyes and
catch it.
Breathe as You Rise
When you do crunches, exhale as hard as you can upon rising. This will force your abs to
work out more.
Get New Sneaks
Put an expiration date on new shoes so you know when to replace them. The rule of thumb is
that shoes last about 500 miles, so if you know how many miles you walk/run a week, do some
division.
Lift with Ease
Overestimate the amount you can lift by 20-30 percent. Lift it off, hold for 1-2 seconds,
and put it back, adjusting the weight to your real max. The weight will feel lighter!
Stock Up on Sweets
Spoil your sweet tooth after working out by having 20 to 30 grams with protein. The sugar
will facilitate the protein arriving at your newly exercised muscle. Don’t overdo it!
Get Killer Legs
Do both seated and standing calf raises to maximize results. This works because calves are
composed of two different forms of muscle, both of which require different positions for
optimal work out.

Tape it Up
If you have a bad habit of jamming your fingers, tape the problem finger to an adjacent one
while playing. Your finger will be less likely to bend at an awkward angle when it has
reinforcement.
Track Your Progress
Measure how well you’re doing on a weekly basis. Keep a daily count of how many exercises
you’ve done throughout the day, and take note of how much you did the day before and keep
that in mind for motivation.
Make your Swings Zing
Make your golf ball fly farther by taking a couple practice swings on the opposite side.
This will help balance and strengthen your muscles and prep you for the real swing.
Jump to the Stars
Train yourself to jump higher by doing this simple exercise: Stand on the edge of an 8 inch
ledge, hop off backward with both legs, and push off the ground upon contact. Do 3 sets of
10-20 reps two times a week.
You Gotta Start Somewhere
If you’re not keen on exercising, force yourself to start with SOMETHING. The first step is
often the hardest.

Keep it Under 60
Strive to keep your work outs under an hour. After an hour of working out, your body produces more cortisol, which reduces the effectiveness of your workout.
Gauge Bench Strength
Using your thumb, press into the bench. If you’re able to feel the wood, sit somewhere else; hard benches cause T4 syndrome, which impacts nerve function and weakens arm muscle
Be an Energizer Bunny
Go a shorter distance, but increase your speed to the max. You’ll lessen your chances of injury.
Air Your Dirty Laundry
Chuck all your dirty workout clothes into a mesh bag, tie it up, and put the whole thing in the washer. This’ll save time and you won’t have to pick through smelly clothing.
Be an Early Bird
Get up earlier, and start the day off with some light exercise, like walking. Start off by waking up 10 minutes early, then see if you can cut back more the next day until you have a reasonable schedule.
Stay in Bed
If you’re sick, exercise may exacerbate it unless your symptoms are isolated above the neck. Taking a day off can help you heal faster.

MN Gov Makes Then Breaks Health Care Truth Pledge
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, a Republican who is touring the country as he considers running for President said he would follow President Obama’s lead and “call out” people who spread lies or try to distort the facts in the health care debate. A few minutes later, Governor Pawlenty repeated a right-wing talking point about long waits for health care in Britain as reason for not going to a single-payer system because it would ration health care. Is that a lie? No… but it could be considered a distortion. According to British Parliament member Maria Eagle the story about long waits was true at one point, but no longer. “We’ve eliminated them” says Eagle. “We’ve done that by putting a lot of extra money in. By getting more doctors and nurses working for the health service and by focusing and targeting waiting lists to get rid of them.” The British National Health Service (NHS) says that in 1997 it wasn’t uncommon to wait 18 months for some procedures. Now more than 95% of all patients see a doctor and are treated in 18 weeks. The NHS says the wait for key diagnostic test appointments is 15.4 days. A recent study from Merritt Hawkins & Associates found that the average wait to get an specialist appointment in the largest 15 US cities was 20.5 days. While not exactly apples to apples comparisons (there are no regular measurements of waiting times in the US), the claims of British wait times now being incredibly long are false. Governor Pawlenty is now on the record as …
