		<description><![CDATA[Living a lifestyle of movement and activity will get you through the difficult times.  But, like most things in life this only works if you are willing to make a commitment to it. If you are not taking care of yourself during the difficulty times in life you will notice your energy levels will go down, your drive to tackle life goes down, and your emotional state of mind goes down. This is the road of depression and a direct road to medical diseases.  When you notice this happening to you, go outside and take a walk for as long as you need to for the purpose of feeling better.  You are responsibly for taking care of your brain and body and you can not fix anything by sitting around feeling sorry for yourself.  If that sounds harsh, I choose to believe it is the truth and you need someone to tell the truth when you are heading down a depressive lifestyle.  Because we are designed to move and when we do provide movement to our bodies, and our brains, on a daily pattern we handle life far better.

		<description><![CDATA[Bruce L. Bair says:  The workout is tremendous!  I am probably doing more than most readers here but I mention this to point out that you get more benefit for your time by using them.  I am lazy by nature and am always looking for ways to get more for less.  Nordic Poles are a way to get all of the above and if you want a fairly intense workout in a short period of time.  I also use them indoors when I travel.  I climb the hotel steps and they help me with speed and balance on the steps (I only walk up - if I do more than one trip I ride the elevator down and go up again).  Going down is very hard on the knees and more likely to result in a fall?"

		<description><![CDATA[Why should you use the Nordic poles? It is a personal decision.  I use them for balance in walking; giving my upper body quite a work out; helps me speed up; gives my whole body a work out and not just my lower body and it is fun!  Some people do associate the poles with snow/winter walking and that is just not true.  You can use them all year around - it is an exercise technique no matter what the weather may be outside.  I believe it is a "must" for overweight people who may be having trouble being mobile.  The poles provide a stable and balanced walk which is needed when a person has a health issue.  Whether you live in California or the upper part of the Dakatos, you can Nordic Walk and feel good about the healthy benefits you are providing your whole body.  I am happy to report that Nordic Walking Groups are being formed, with certified trainers, right here in the United States.  Check it out here

		<description><![CDATA[Let us spend just a few moments talking about a walking style that is one of my favorite.  I’m talking about Nordic Pole or Pole Stick walking.  I believe if you would try it, it would quickly become your favorite as well.    There is an excellent video on this site that actually shows you how to begin with this style.    A neighbor asked me why I use the poles when I walked.  Let me list the "Wow" reasons: Do you want to know the "Wow" reasons?  Go to http://www.livehealthybywalking.com

		<description><![CDATA[What I have discovered about myself is that I love to walk. I mean, really love it. Especially trail walking. So I finally gave myself permission to exercise the way I love, and to not worry about trying to do what everyone else is doing. I’m back to my trail hikes, and loving it.

When you are first starting to exercise, don’t worry about all the rules of what you are “supposed” to be doing. When I started exercising, the idea of 30 to 60 minutes three to five times a week was overwhelming. I didn't have the time and I didn't have the ability. So I started with 10 minutes of slow walking. It wasn’t even aerobic. The important thing is to just get started. You can increase the variety, length and intensity of your workouts after you get into the routine of regular exercise

		<description><![CDATA[I have discovered there are several things a person needs to do when preparing for training in a marathon.   I knew it was important for me to check in with my doctors to get their approval.  So, I made a check list to guide me through the process Here is my check list:

Purchased the appropriate layer clothing – no problem! A reminder:  do not spend a lot of money on training clothes…go to discount stores.
Check the soles of my shoes – they were OK for training
Go to foot doctor – he was happy I was in the training program. No neuropathy in my feet and my circulation in feet was excellent.
Go to pulmonary doctor – I had increased my lung capacity by 100%.  I have had problems in the past, because of my past life of inactivity and when tested I had improved.  He was very happy – walking outside in the fresh air really does help the lungs.
Go to diabetes doctor – There was a problem!  My blood sugars were in the 400’s and it appears my pancreas may be shutting down.  He pulled me out of the marathon training until we can see what is happening with my sugars. 
My heart sunked.  Trying to think of positive thoughts; such as: “Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they’re right” and “good things fall apart so better things can fall together”.  As my daughter said “the doctor didn’t say you couldn’t do it in the Spring, he just said you can not do it now until you get your diabetes in better shape. 

 I will never give up my dream of walking in a marathon and I do not want you to ever give up what you want to accompish when things stop you temporarily.  Look for the positives and look toward the future when you can follow your dream.  I’ll try it in the Spring!  I continue to walk every day to build my strength and endurance and to continue to create a healthy body.

		<description><![CDATA[For years we have heard that exercising will give you more energy and that is true.  However, a lot of people do not even get started walking because they are too tired.  If people would understand all it would take is a fifteen minute walk to relax their brain and their body and they would be energized.  Reducing fatigue will help to enhance your performance and endurance to accomplish your goals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last three days I have been so excited about starting the walking marathon training.  At 5:30 I entered the Field House to sign in and gathered with new people.  There were runners, walkers and pacers gathering together and giving each other pep talks.  I was having a super great time.  I had purchase a new hat, new cool max material tops, checked my shoes and socks, had my gloves on (The weather was 34 degrees) and my excitement kept building. 

Finally, it was time for our group to start walking.  When we got outside one of the leaders said “We can do this – Let’s go”.  Everyone cheered, including me, and the group took off like they were flying with the wind!  I had worked and planned for this moment.  At the quarter mile marker, I was at the back of the pack, along with one of the pacers who was appointed to bring in the back end.  I asked him “are they walking the 15 minute mile or are they going faster than that?”  He told me they were walking the right pace and speed to accomplishment the goal.  I was shocked.  I could not keep up with them!  We got so far behind I told him I learned so much tonight and I have to spend this week working on SPEED!  I did not have the speed to keep up with them. 

This week I have to work every day on Interval and Power walking to build my speed.  We were to walk 3 miles last night and I had done that many, many times.  It is obvious I had not walked my path with any type of speed or I would have been more prepared.  The thing I like about walking is there are always athletic challenges and I am in one right now.  I will do this!

		<description><![CDATA[We have been taught that strong muscles give our bodies energy.  We hit the gym and lift weights and do what I call “machine exercising” to stimulate them make us strong.  Some people are so enthusiastic about this that they go once in the morning and once in the evening not realizing that our muscles have to have a “recovery” period.  When a person is in the recovery period, this is when the real building of muscles takes place.  More is not better and could be the reason so many people do not success in any real results year after year.

		<description><![CDATA[Most people exercise regularly to keep their weight under control and just to feel fit.  However, exercising does far more than simply looking good and being healthier. People overlook one the largest benefits of regular exercise and that is it improves our mental and emotional state. And, because of this it is easier for all of us to handle a stress situation and we can make better decisions in our lives. 

Walking is one of the greatest stress relievers. It has the power to change your mental or emotional state, thus making you more productive and able to meet the challenges in your life.  Many studies provide proof that walking is an excellent exercise to relief stress.  I call this the B &#038; B (brain and body) walking program.  You do not have to knock yourself out by exercising to the point of exhaustion to achieve these goals.  A brisk walk in your neighborhood is a great beginning and you will see the results very quickly in your brain and your body.
