New Happenings this Week

According to a study published recently in the journal Reproductive Health, a course of water aerobics classes done by sedentary and low risk pregnant women has been shown to reduce the amount of pain-killing medication women request during labor. Aqua aerobics has most of the fat-burning and endurance-building qualities of land-based aerobics, without the high-impact pounding that can be dangerous while pregnant. Check out this week's on Water Aerobics during Pregnancy.

Hot Fitness Tip of the Week

The key to understanding all the workout movements comes from imagining the body in its simplest form: the torso. The torso encompasses the space starting from just beneath the skull and continuing down to the bottom of the buttocks. It contains the vertebral column (spine) and all the major organs. The ""powerhouse,"" from where the exercises initiate, is also contained within the torso. By visualizing the body in this form, it is easier to understand the essence of the exercises. Your arms and legs will certainly be working; however, it is important not to focus on the extraneous parts of the body as much as the muscles radiating from the body's core, or powerhouse.

Words of Inspiration

It's So Simple: Toshihiko Seko had a simple training routine. He won the 1981 Boston Marathon and 1983 Tokyo Marathon. It's so simple, he tells it in only twelve words. This plan enabled him to outrun the world's greatest, fastest and most gifted runners. He says ""I run ten kilometers in the morning and twenty in the evening"". When Seko was told that his plan seemed too simple when compared to that of other marathoners, he replied, ""The plan is simple. But I do it every single day, 365 days a year"". People fail to reach their goals not because their plans are too simple, but because they aren't willing to follow their plans. Many goals do not require detailed plans. But they do require following the plan. Plans do have to be followed to achieve success.
