79_Pregnancy and Exercise
Do not think that just because you are pregnant means you have to stop
exercising, unless you have special needs. Before you exercise during
pregnancy, always check with your doctor first. Once you get permission to
proceed, you will find that leg extensions, standing curls, and other
exercises can be done with ease. If you are not sure what you can and
cannot do, ask your doctor for recommendations.
80_Track Progress
Often when trying to get in shape, it seems like you are working hard and
sweating, but getting nowhere. In actuality, things are happening, just not
yet seen. Keep track of two things in particular. First, track your
measurements. You will probably be surprised within only a few weeks at
the progress made. Second, track your routines so you can determine what
is working for you and what is not as successful.
81-Medication and Exercise
If you are on scheduled prescription medication, you should know that
some drugs could have a negative affect if mixed with exercise. Some can
cause the heart to work too hard or you might not sweat as needed, to
mention a few. If you are taking medication, before you start any exercise
program, consult with your physician to ensure there are no harmful effects.
82_Cool Down
Just as warming up for exercise is important, cooling down after exercise is
just as important. Once you have completed your workout, take five to 10
minutes to walk, or stretch to allow your body to cool down. This is very
important for the muscles and joints and for the heart and lung.
83_Walk the Dog
Instead of just opening the back door to let the dogs out, put them on a
leash and go for a nice walk. They will appreciate the new scenery and you
are doing yourself a great justice.
84_Lunchtime
Instead of eating a heavy lunch, put together something light and easy and
go for a walk. You can sip on a protein drink or snack on fruit while
enjoying a nice brisk walk before heading back to the office. You will feel
refreshed and more invigorated for your afternoon tasks.

Set a goal for yourself, perhaps four to six weeks. By breaking up your time
into workable chunks of time instead of looking out an entire year, you will
have a much easier time meeting your goals and staying on track as well as
encouraged.
87_Neurobics
This is a new term coined by researchers from the United States relating to
ways in which to get the brain activated with its own biochemical pathways.
The goal is to have the brain strengthened and energetic. Positive thinking
has long been proven to help with illness and disease so the theory is that
an energetic mind is also good for fitness.
88_Fitness and Food
Certain foods provide specific benefits for people who workout. If you need
quick energy or planning to run a 4K or 10K and need to accelerate your
metabolism, bread, grain-based food, sugar, and honey are great choices.

lentils, and soya beans.

carbohydrates, grab some fresh fruit or water. The reason is that for a
minimum of an hour after exercise, the body is still breaking down fat. You
need to allow the body to finish doing its job.
91_Breath in – Breath out
You might wonder what breathing has to do with fitness and the truth is it
has a lot to do with it. When exercising, there is a proper way to breath that
will help you with the appropriate amount of oxygen into the system but will
also help you with endurance. For example, marathon runners will tell you
that they use a rhythm when running that allows them to runner longer and
healthier than normal breathing.
