Worth It

Traveling

Traveling doesn’t have to curtail your workout routine. Today we decided to take advantage of being in NYC to walk in Central park for a daily dose of exercise. We came upon the stairs at Bethesda Terrace, and thought why not burn some extra calories? Walking burns about 5 calories a minute ( average 150lb person) but stair climbing even at a slow pace will double that burning 10 calories a minute. When you’re in NYC and around all that great food and don’t have your DVD with you, you need all the extra help you can get! Take advantage of getting outside and enjoying your environment even if it isn’t your normal workout routine. Send us your vacation workouts so we can share them.

MD fitness and the New Hampshire Food Bank

Many of us are worried about counting calories and maintaining a healthy weight but there are thousands of people that are going without any food at all. In response to a recent story on WMUR concerning a severe food shortage at the New Hampshire Food Bank, MD fitness is donating 1000 meals for New Hampshire residents who are going without food. MD Fitness also pledges to donate half the proceeds of DVD sales June 13-June 20,2013 to benefit the New Hampshire Food Bank. Join us in helping this important cause!

Dear Dr. Kleeman: Since you are a Doctor, I don’t really need to get an OK from my own Doctor to do this program, right?

There is an important difference between being a doctor and being your doctor. As a doctor I have designed this program around sound medical facts and research. You know it has been demonstrated that exercise can be effective as part of the treatment for cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes, however, there may be situations where these conditions are out of control and could put you at risk if you over exert yourself. Your own doctor knows the important facts about your health, the medications you take, any surgery you may have had or injuries incurred, all of which may affect what type of exercise program is best for you. If you have a heart condition, you may need some special tests before you get the go-ahead to begin this type of exercise program. You may need to have your blood pressure monitored or check your blood sugar regularly. If you have lung disease you may have some restrictions on how much exertion you can tolerate. Talk to your doctor about this program and maybe give him a copy of the exercises so he or she can advise you appropriately. You will find a prescription with a list of the exercises on our website www.thedoctorsworkout.com.

Remember, if you have questions concerning exercise, health, or life in general, the doctor is in. Just email me at housecalls@thedoctorsworkout.com and I will try to add them to house calls. And as always stay happy, stay healthy, and stay fit.
