WERE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE American Heart Association him return to regular activi- ties safely and with decreased risk of re-injury. Although treating and protecting the in- jured area is of primary con- cern, it's important to look beyond the injury and keep the rest of the body as fit as possible. Hydro-Toning does just that. For many people, the Hy- dro-Tone program is their way to keep cardiovascular fitness because it can easily elevate the heart rate target zone and be maintained there for an uninterrupted period of 15 to 20 minutes. Water heated at 80 degrees dispers- es body heat a lot faster than air and helps to maintain body temperature making it easier to work harder and more intensely without being forced to stop and cool down. This has the added effect of increasing the comfort of the exercise. Another benefit of Hydro- Toning is its role in weight loss because the exercise pro- gram can reduce fat as a percentage of total body com- position. Most people know that low-intensity, aerobic ex- ercise performed for 35-40 minutes uses body fat as an energy source. What they may not realize is that water walking burns twice as many calories as land walking be- Gal • • Check your pulse rate during your workout. Water exercise can be deceptive and you may not realize how hard you're actually working because there's no impact and you're not sweating. • Drink a glass of water before you exercise because you still are sweating even though you may not notice it. • Pay attention to your form as you exercise. Keep your spine straight and tum- my tucked in and land flat on your foot, not on your toes when you jog. Buoyancy tends to get you up on your toes. • If you're working an area because of an injury or arthritis, keep the area sub- merged when working be- cause water takes the weight off of it. • Be sure to shower when you finish Hydro-Toning to remove the chlorine from your skin and rinse your bathing suit well from the chlorine. • Always consult a physi- cian before developing an ex- tensive workout program. ❑ cause of the water's greater resistance. Using the Hydro-Tone equipment further increases the calorie-burning resistance of the water even more. What's more, this same low- intensity exercise may also raise the metabolism for as much as an hour after exer- cise for additional calorie \ burning. The experts agree that one of the primary ingredients for staying with an exercise pro- gram is to enjoy the program. Hydro-Toning fulfills not only that requisite but provides a safe, low-impact program, that's easy to learn. ❑ Medical Center Diabetes Study The diabetes research pro- gram at the Detroit Medical Center and Wayne State University is now seeking participants for a new study comparing a human insulin deriva- tive to currently available regular insulin. Researchers believe that the human insulin analog may lower a diabetic's blood sugar level more safely during and immedi- ately after meals. In- dividuals between the ages of 35 and 85 who have type II (non-insulin dependent) diabetes melli- tus who have not previ- ously taken insulin injec- tions for diabetes manage- ment, or who have taken insulin for less than two months are eligible to par- ticipate.

"=N Donations Aid Care At Sinai In 1985, when Alan and Elaine Herbst lost their 14-month-old daughter, Lisa Amy Herbst, in an automobile accident, they turned their tragedy into help for others. By estab- lishing the Lisa Amy Herbst Memorial Fund to benefit Sinai's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Sinai's youngest and most fragile patients can benefit from some of the newest medical tech- nology available. Over the years, many individuals have donated to the Herbst Memorial. < Most recently, the fund has been used to purchase an infant bed warmer and two in-bed scales.
