A little of this and that on weight loss and wellness...

 

I have been on the net for well over three yrs. This lens is intended to help promote health and wellness as well as give people a starting point in finding some support in weight loss.

 

I am currently a student at Washburn University in Topeka. My area of study is health promotion,and am working toward my first BA in a physical education area of concentration.I am going for my masters and my doctorate as well.

 

As I am not a degreed licensed professional I can not for liability issues prescribe a fitness or nutrition regimen for you but I can at the moment support anyone who is wanting to learn to live a healthier lifestyle. I can assist you in locating resources in addition to providing resources and encouragement via my lens.

To Paraphrase Dr. Phil- "Let's get excited about your life!"

Health Tips from Denise Austin

Get Jogging!

Thinking of kicking your walking routine up a notch with jogging? You should! It's a great way to burn even more calories and reap additional cardiovascular benefits at the same time! But remember, the key to success - and to avoiding injuries - is starting off on the right foot! The experts at The American Physical Therapy Association offer these tips for new joggers:

* Alternate the pace. Gradually go between jogging and walking until you build up your endurance, rather than suddenly converting to jogging only!

* Do the talk test. If you can't carry on a conversation while you jog, you're pushing yourself too hard. Slow down!

* Look for give! For the sake of your joints, choose dirt, a rubberized track, or a similar soft surface over asphalt and concrete.

* Watch your feet. Keep an eye out for injury-prone obstacles like logs, rocks, and holes in your path. Be careful!
