THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
In order to shape up after the
holidays, the exerciser must
establish reasonable goals.
Don't jump in full force, be-
cause too much exercise too
soon and not enough consistent
exercise will defeat your pur-
pose.
Set a major goal, but accom-
plish it by establishing daily,
weekly and monthly realistic
goals. Select activities you
enjoy and vary your activity.
Balance stretching for flexibil-
ity, muscle strengthening and
cardiovascular movements.
Research has left little doubt
that a good fitness program
shapes up your body and your
mood too. Regular activity
(20-30 minutes, three-five
times per week) can decrease
anxiety levels, depression and
fatigue and increase self-
image and well-being.
To start the new year off
right, think moderation. This
is part of setting achievable
goals. Intesity can always be
accelerated at a future time.
For cardiovascular benefits,
think long duration. Low in-
tensity aerobics can be no-
jumping or low jumping.
Three-five times per week is
ideal for achieving heart
strengthening and fat-burning
benefits.
Exercising at a pace that
feels comfortable for you is
very important. Dr. Kenneth
Cooper in the January 1987
issue of Self magazine has de-
veloped the F.I.T. formula —
frequency, intensity and time
— that can be applied to almost
all workout activities. Balance
this with warmups that in-
clude rhythmic movements,
combined with static stretches
and specific muscle
strengthening routines and
you've got a happy, healthy
and safely fit body.
The best way to accomplish
this is to become involved in a
qualified group exercise pro-
gram because you'll get all the
aspects of a balanced workout
in about an hour. But when it's
hard to get out, here are four
specific body toners to achieve
maximum results:
For abdominals: Hook legs
over the cushions of a couch or
chair. Place hands behind head
letting head relax in your
hands. Lift upper body without
moving your head. At the same
time, press lower back in the
floor and tilt the pelvis
slightly. Exhale on the lift and
inhale on the down.
For outer thighs: Lie on your
side with your upper body re-
laxed on your arm. Legs are ex-
tended at the side (abdominals
pulled in) with knees soft and

slightly bent. Keep top hip and
leg directly over bottom hip
and leg. Lift and lower eight-16
times. Don't lift leg higher
than 30-40 degrees. Hold leg
up and do small pulses eight-16
times. Repeat with the other
leg.
For inner thighs: Lie on
back, soles of feet together and
bend knees. Lower back into
floor. Hold this position and
close and open knees, em-
phasizing contracting the
inner thigh (adductor) muscles
as the knees come together.
Repeat eight-20 times.
For buttocks: Lie on floor,
'press lower back down. Knees
are bent, and legs are about hip
width apart. Keeping lower
back into the floor, contract the
muscles of the buttocks lifting
them only lightly as you con-
tract. Do 16-32 life/
contractions.
To stretch out: Lie on floor,
bring knee into chest and hold.
Then extend leg and hold in a
relaxed manner. Bend both
knees to right, arms to left and
reverse.
To make your workout
easier in the cold weather
months, follow these tips:
Layer clothing to keep mus-
cles warm. As you move into
cardiovascular activity, peel
off top layers to maintain body
temperature. If you dress too
warmly, perspiration can't
evaporate and you will not cool
down.
Do not wear aerobic shoes to
class in winter because the ice
and snow can damage them
and normal wear and tear may
cause slippage on the aerobic
floor.
Warmups may have to be ex-
tended, especially in early
morning. Vigorous activity on
cold or not warmed up enough
muscles can cause soreness
and injury.
After a workout, stepping
into cold weather with damp
clothing is not a healthy idea.
It is preferable to change into
dry clothing. At a minimum,
cover top half of body, espcially
your head where heat loss is
most rapid.
