Fitness fads for 2011:

New ways to work outA

s folks embark on journeys towardoverall fitness in

2011, theyre looking forways to make fitness aconsistent part of theirlives.

I think people wantsimplicity, said Ameri-can College of SportsMedicine certified per-sonal trainer Jenifer Do-natelli Ihm. They wantto be able to partici-pate in activities thatare fun, where they canlet loose.

Donatelli Ihm be-lieves recreational fit-ness should be a stress-releaser, and sees clientsgravitating toward activ-

ities they enjoy and thatprovide a sense of com-munity.

Manufacturers areupping the ante to getpeople involved in recre-ational fitness, particu-larly by weaving tech-nology into user's work-out routine.

Getting people motivated and keepingthem motivated is atough challenge, but

building in iPad or iPoddocks on stationary

bikes and flat screenTVs on ellipticals andtreadmills has helpedkeep people on ma-chines longer. Much ofthe technologically-apt

equipment has built-inspots for memory cardsto play slide shows ormovies, and built-inspeakers for quality mu-sic playback, JamieGruttadauria ofRochester FitnessEquipment said.

Exercise entertain-ment is good because itfinds ways to keep peo-ple on the exercise equip-ment; its a huge motivat-ing factor, he said.

PedometersA 2007 study in the Journalof the American MedicalAssociation showed anoverall increase of 27percent in activity withpedometer use. Healthprofessionals from doctorsto physical therapists areurging patients to clip onthe inexpensive gadgetsand strive to walk 10,000

steps a day or more. Withsimplicity a key factor infitness regime longevity,wearers are more likely tomeet daily goals easilyaccomplished with a glanceand a few extra steps.

BarefootworkoutsBorn from the idea that ourancestors walked the Earthfor millions of years withoutfootwear and that shoesmay actually be hinderingform, balance, natural gaitand contributing to muscleatrophy, barefoot training ismaking a big splash.

Barefoot shoes, such asVibram Fivefingers, offerminimal support, therebyincreasing the workload onmuscles during a workout.

Pelvic fitnessOnce a taboo subject,pelvic fitness is all the ragein gyms across the country.People are finally realizingthat the pelvic floor is apiece of the puzzle foroverall joint stability, saysDonatelli Ihm, who is alsothe director of educationaloutreach for the WomensHealth Foundation, a

national resource on pelvicwellness issues. Core plusfloor-style exercises, whichinclude kegels done theright way, are beingincorporated into groupclasses and should beconsidered an importantpart of any strengtheningprogram.

MATMaking its way to fitnesscenters across the country,MAT, or Muscle ActivationTechnique, is bridging thegap between rehabilitationand training.The programidentifies weak muscles thathave improper neurologicalconnections and repairsthose connections throughexercise. Other ways to

bridge exercise andrehabilitation is friendlierequipment for thosegrowing older. Many arelooking to work out with alower impact on the body,said Gruttadauria.Ellipticalsare ideal for baby boomersbecause of their total bodyworkout and low impact onjoints.

Women heart attacks

&February is American Heart Month.Learn about the country's No. 1 killer.

BY MELISSA [email protected]

Though men are tradi-tionally at a higherrisk for heart attacks

than women, females are inno way excluded from theproblems and complicationsassociated with cardiovascu-

lar diseases. And with Feb-ruary dubbed AmericanHeart Month, its the perfectopportunity for women toevaluate their health andstart thinking about preven-tative steps.

Dr. Bryan Henry, an assis-tant professor of medicineat the University of

Rochester and member ofFinger Lakes Cardiology As-sociates, said that cardiovas-cular disease is historicallyunder-appreciated in

women. But the disease isstill the leading cause ofdeath in women, he said,and can be even more of aproblem.

Men tend to die earlierfrom cardiovascular disease,

but by your mid-80s, thenumber of women who havecardiovascular disease ex-ceeds men, Henry said.

About one in threewomen have some sort ofcardiovascular disease, ac-cording to the American


7/16

HEALTH MAGAZINE Messenger Post Media 7January 20, 2011Heart Association. Andeach year, cardiovasculardisease claims the lives ofabout 433,000 American

women compared to

41,000 and 69,000 whodie from breast or lungcancer.

Some statistics suggestthat heart problems can bemore fatal for women thanmen, too. After having aheart attack, 44 percent of

women die in within thenext year, compared with27 percent of men, accord-ing to the American Heart

Association. And forwomen over 55, the riskbecomes even greater.

Once menopause hits, es-trogen levels drop signifi-cantly, increasing the riskfor heart disease.

Part of the reason car-diovascular disease may goundetected in women,

Henry said, is because thesymptoms of heart prob-lems in women are differ-ent than those associated

with men that are morecommonly known. Thatpressure on the heart thatalerts a man of a heart at-tack may be more alongthe lines of a back or lowerchest pain in a woman,Henry said. Unusual

shortness of breath, too,can be a sign.

Preventing heart diseasecan be the same simplesteps for men and women,Henry said, by following ahealthy lifestyle plan.

All of the healthylifestyle recommendationsthat any heart society willpromote applies to womenand men, Henry said.

One of the biggest mes-sages to get out there,however, is a true aware-ness of the disease.

That awareness hasbeen contributing to moreand more women seekingout help for their heartproblems. Mary Allhusen,the supervisor of the Car-diac Rehabilitation De-partment at ThompsonHospital said that of herpatients in 2009, about 75percent were men. But the

number of women whoare coming in after havinga heart problem has beensteadily increasing overthe years, Allhusen said.

The word on womenand heart disease is get-

ting out there more ag-gressively, especially in thepast five years, Allhusensaid. We anticipate we

will be getting more.

While the rehabilitationfor any individual with aheart problem is a specifictype of treatment based onthe patients particularcondition, Allhusen saidthat all people, men and

women, can help preventthe onset of heart prob-lems by keeping a closeeye on their blood pres-sure, cholesterol and

blood sugar numbers, asany changes can signal aconcern.

Eating a heart-healthydiet thats low in fat, read-ing nutrition labels, avoid-ing smoking and consis-tent exercise five days a

week are all part of livinga healthy lifestyle that canhelp prevent heart dis-ease, Allhusen said.

But for those womenwho do feel that some-thing may be wrong withtheir bodies, its importantto seek out help regardlessof what the symptoms are,since they may be caused

by a heart problem. Untilthat point, its best toknow your body, and stayinformed, Allhusen said.

For females, its just be-ing aware and researching

that heart disease inwomen is different thanmen, and being awarethat prevention is farmore effective than anytreatment we can do, All-husen said.

ONE IN THREE Look at the woman to your left and to your right. One of you probablyhas some form of cardiovascular disease, because it occurs in more than one in threewomen, according to The American Heart Association. Cardiovascular disease is the

cause of death for about 433,000 women annually, compared with breast cancer,which claims the lives of 41,000 women. Lung cancer kills 69,000 women.

HEALTH FACTS BY THE NUMBERS

355 44

Thats the age whenwomen become at risk forheart disease, according tothe National Heart Lungand Blood institute. Thats

because after menopause,womens estrogen levelsdrop, which puts them atrisk. Plus, the older you get,the more trouble your heartwill have.

SECOND ATTACK

The American HeartAssociation says 22percent of women ages40-69 who survived afirst heart attack will haveanother heart attack orwill suffer from fatalcoronary heart diseasewithin five years. Plus, as

women get older, theirrisk of heart disease andstroke rises, according tothe AHA.

Thats the percent ofwomen who die within thefirst year of having theirfirst heart attack,compared with 27 percentof men, says the AmericanHeart Association. Andone in eight women olderthan 45 has had at leastone heart attack.

is key

DWhat to know about newguidelines and healthy foodsT

heres been a lot of talk latelyabout vitamin D, and with goodreason: Studies show it not only

promotes bone health but can lowerthe risk for cancer, diabetes, high bloodpressure and heart and kidney diseases.

Recently the national Institute ofMedicine set the first formal guidelinesfor vitamin D intake. It recommendsthat children and adults younger than 71consume 600 international units of vita-min D each day, while people 71 and old-er should consume up to 800 IUs per day.

Wondering how to get it in your diet?Here are five recommendations.

Gatehouse News Service

MilkMilk does a body good,and one reason is because its been fortified withvitamin D. One cup of milk a day provides you with just over 100 IUs.

Fatty fishFishes like salmon,mackerel, sardines and tuna are packed withvitamin D.Tuna has 200 IUs per 3-ounce serving, while salmon, at thehigh end of the spectrum, has nearly 450 IUs per 3-ounce serving.

EggsOne egg has 41 IUs of vitamin D. However,the vitamin D is found in the yolk, so

consuming only egg whites wont give youthe benefit. Some studies suggest free-rangeeggs have much more vitamin D.

CerealMany cereals come fortified with vitamin D, but read the labels to

determine which are best. For example, onecup of Total has 34 IUs, 1/2 cup of RaisinBran has 68 IUs and one packet of QuakerOatmeal for women has more than 150 IUs.

Orange juiceOJ thats fortified provides almost as muchvitamin D as a glass of milk, with 100 IUs per

1-cup serving.

Ready to runHeres how you can complete a 5KBY DAN RAFTERGateHouse News Service

erhaps youve always want-ed to run in a marathon, but

you cant jog across the blockwithout gasping for air.

There is hope. You can turnyourself into a runner. All it re-quires is some dedication and a

willingness to begin with smallsteps.

Just ask Kimberly Shah, atriathlon and marathon coach in

Chicago who works with athletesranging from advanced to those

whove never bought a pair of fit-ness shoes.

Going from couch potato torace runner can be a frustrating

journey if you set your goals toolarge, Shah said. If you are new toexercise, try walking a mile at a

brisk pace or try intervals: two min-

utes running to one minute walk-ing. That can get your body andheart adjusted to your new chal-lenge.

P

Transformyourself into an avid runner

Eat right: Your body wont respond well if you dont fuel it with the right food. As Shah says, this means noMcDonalds, Burger King or Wendys when youre starting a new running routine. Shah recommends thatyou eat healthy meals before and after you exercise to keep your body functioning at its peak.

Take it slow: Michelle Lictman of Bodyfit exercise studio in Scarsdale, N.Y., recommends that new runnerstake their training slow. New runners who try to increase their speed or miles too much too soon risk injuringthemselves. Lictmans advice? You should never increase your intensity or miles run by more than 10percent a week. The goal is to gradually increase your stamina.

Mix it up: When youre running, try going up hills and then walking down them to recover your energy. Mixup bursts of speed with slower jogs. Lictman recommends, too, that you mix up the intensity of yourworkouts: Make sure to include easy days. Not every workout has to leave your physically drained.

Dont focus only on running: The most successful runners rely on a diverse exercise routine. Shahrecommends that runners set aside a day for strength training and another for cardio exercises that includeaerobics, swimming or biking. They should then run for three to four days while scheduling a day or two for rest.

Rest is important: That last point is important. Lictman and Shah recommend that athletes set asidedays for complete rest. Theres a good reason for this: Your muscles need rest to properly recover fromyour workouts. If you skip the rest days, youre more likely to suffer a training injury.

Stretch it out: Lictman says that runners should always take time to stretch before they head out for asprint or jog. Stretching prepares the muscles for exercise. It also cuts down the chances that youll injureyourself while working out or running.
