DURING-WORKOUT FLUIDS--STAY HYDRATED!

During–Workout Fluids
Working out when it’s hot and humid during the dogs days of summer calls for special attention to fluid intake. Whether you choose Bikram yoga, spinning or tennis, and even in the water, get the most out of a workout in the heat by making sure you get enough fluid.
In order to minimize changes in your body weight over the course of a workout, determine your sweat rate by measuring body weight before and after a workout and adjust fluid intake accordingly. Remember that sweat contains more than just water, and sodium is the key electrolyte lost in sweat helping you retain the fluid you drank. Using a low-calorie sports drink like G2 or G2 Natural, Propel, and others can help replace the fluids and electrolytes lost in sweat. On days where your workout is longer and more intense, or if you are training for a specific event, add carbohydrates to give your body the energy it needs

Fitness and Happiness!

It's true!!!


Fitness professionals and enthusiasts are well aware of the positive effects that exercise can have on mood. A report from the Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology (2011; 33 [6], 884–902) takes this common knowledge one step further, suggesting that exercise is associated with feelings of excitement and enthusiasm.
According to the authors, “Physical activity was not associated with pleasant-deactivated, unpleasant–activated or unpleasant–deactivated feelings. People who were more physically active overall had higher pleasant–activated feelings than people who were less physically active. People reported higher levels of pleasant-activated feelings on days when they were more physically active than was typical for them.”

Parkinson's --EXERCISE NOW say Doctors!!

Start exercising NOW—as soon as possible. Physicians rarely refer their patients to health and fitness programs at diagnosis because medications are very effective early on alleviating most of the symptoms and patients experience little change in function. Yet, according to recent surveys, it is at the time of diagnosis that patients often begin to consider lifestyle changes and seek education about conventional and complementary/alternative treatment options. Thus referrals to exercise, wellness programs as well as physical/occupational therapy would be best initiated at diagnosis, when it may have the most impact on quality of life (Parkinson Resource Organization, 2012).
