Exercise for our health support thread

[cin]

took a "body attack" class on Tuesday night at the gym.  HATED IT!  It was very old school aerobic class-as in- jumping up and down and way to much bouncing for someone with breasts larger than an eraser !!!  So, back to the gym floor for some private time between me and my elyptical machine.  How do you spell eliptical machine?  Well, one of those is surely correct.  Anyway, I really do feel better after moving my body!   I taught aerobics for years (step and dance step) and it's alot more fun to just let someone else do the work.  All I have to do is stare at the mirror and zone !!!!!  I love it.

If you are diagnosed with cancer, being involved in a support group can increase your life expectancy. According to a study at Stanford University College of Medicine, women with breast cancer who participated in group psychotherapy lived, on the average, 18 months longer than a control group.

Weight Wise
Moral Support Assists Dieting

According to research at Purdue University, having a person encourage you while you diet can improve your chances of success. It was found that people trying to lose weight with a supportive partner lost 30% more weight than those who tried to do it on their own. 

I've been a little busy for a few days but I did an hour today on the treadmill.

Safety First
Home Fire Safety

The National Fire Protection Association recommends that each member of the family sleep with their bedroom door closed as it provides an effective barrier against smoke and flames. If a fire is suspected, touch your door before opening it. If it feels at all hot, use an alternative exit as smoke or flames could rush in.

I worked out 30 min. today. Sorry I haven't posted health tips lately.

Took a "Zumba" class.  It was an hour of FUN FUN FUN.  It was such a blast, I can't wait to do it again.  It's a mix of salsa dancing, hip hop, and belly dancing.  The girl who taught is from Mexico and honey let me tell ya'.  The girl can "shake what her momma gave her"  I think I could have just stood there and watched her all night.  I didn't even know some of those body parts where supposed to shake and shimmey!   Can't wait till the next Zumba class, I'll be there in the front row

Sounds like so much fun. I'm in Louisiana so I ride a stationary bike here and go for nice long walks.

I am so jealous - our zumba instructor had to go back to Mexico - I miss my Zumba Class.
