15 WEEKS TO FITNESS - LESSON 10

GET ON THE BALL!

One of our members, Ruth, wrote in and asked about using the Stability Ball. This is sometimes called "Resist-a-Ball" at the gym, because Mike and Stephanie Morris created a stability ball exercise program and certification for aerobics instructors with that name. See below!

Question from Ruth --

I went to my chiropractor this afternoon, he suggested I get one of the exercise balls, said it would be " more gentle" to my joints.
I believe my daughter-in-law has one and I will use hers for a few days to see if I want to purchase my own.
Also, the chiro showed me a couple of weight lifting tips, had me to put my hand on his shoulder and arm while he did it correctly then incorrectly.

Anita's Answer --

Yes, Ruth, you should try the Ball. I have been certified in Resist-a-Ball since 1998, in fact, that was one of my first certifications when I started teaching Aerobics. I used to have a one-hour Ball class on Tuesday nights at Bally in Orlando. Here is some info for you:

YOU CAN GET A BALL ON AMAZON FOR ABOUT $10

Question from a Member:

"How do we figure out how many calories foods have?"
Answer:

Check every food's nutrition label, and be sure to watch the portion size. For foods that don't have a food label, any paperback calorie book will work. You can find these at most grocery stores, Wal-Mart, Target and also any bookstore. You can also find this information online. Our member, Karen, found this website for us: http://www.nutritiondata.com/. For more information about www.nutritiondata.com, listen to this audio--

HERE'S YOUR PLAN FOR 2008

* * * NO TUESDAY NIGHT CLASS (FEBRUARY 5) * * *

Can you believe it's already February?

Well I rung in the month of love with a case of the flu, and a really bad sore throat came along with it, including 7 full days of fever . . . I finally gave in to the "germ" that made me sick, and visited the doctor's office today. I really hate going in there, I am sure I caught a new sickness -- the waiting room was full of (sickly looking) people! I probably looked sick to them too (since I am), but anyway, it didn't take long to say "Ahhh" and nearly hyperventilate (you know, when the doctor says "take a deep breath" while she is listening to your back with the stethoscope...about 6 times in a row, without waiting for you to exhale).

So after a quick visit to CVS Pharmacy, I am now on my way to wellness, with one whole antibiotic pill coursing through my system.

With that said, I still have an annoying cough when I talk, so I won't put you through the torture of listening to me tonight on our call. I am going to post some yoga and pilates videos below, for you to watch, in place of class. I hope you enjoy them.

Hope you are having a wonderful week and I can't wait to visit with you again! I am getting lots of success stories by email, and I am dying to tell you about your fellow Journey to Fitness members!

Your friend and Video Fitness Coach,
ANITA
