00:35 PRAISE GOD... for I am fearfully and wonderfully made!
00:39 I want to thank you for tuning in to "Wonderfully Made" today 00:43 My name is Jim Marcum and I'm a cardiologist with the 00:45 Chattanooga Heart Institute 00:47 And I know there are a lot of things you could be doing 00:49 with your time today, and I want to thank you, personally, 00:52 for joining in to learning more about our bodies 00:55 Today's topic is on exercise. 00:58 We're not just going to explore the ins and outs of exercise, 01:01 we're going to get at why people that know exercise 01:04 is so good... what are some of the reasons 01:06 they don't exercise. 01:08 With me today, I have Dan Miller 01:11 And Dan, I want to thank you for joining us today... Thank you 01:14 Dan Miller is a businessman in the Chattanooga area, 01:18 and he's also a healthcare consumer 01:21 And, I think it's always very interesting to have 01:24 a nonmedical person discuss some of these issues 01:27 because I think it sort of takes it home to our 01:29 listening audience 01:30 And, Dan, I heard that you have just bought a treadmill 01:34 What led you to that decision? 01:36 Besides the fact that a good friend of mine kept 01:40 harassing me about buying one... 01:42 I had gotten to the point in my life... 01:45 I'm 44 years old, with 2 children, married 01:50 and I had gotten to the point in my life 01:53 where I had quit exercising 01:55 Our life was so busy, that I did not have time for 01:58 exercise in my life 02:00 And so, we went out and purchased a treadmill 02:04 specifically to give me the capability of exercising 02:12 in our house... not having to go somewhere 02:15 ...first thing in the morning, you get up and do it 02:18 and take care of it, then you can finish your day 02:20 and not have to worry about anything as far as scheduling 02:23 Now do you think you're being a little bit too hard on 02:26 yourself saying that you gave up an exercise program 02:29 because it's not so much exercising, it the movement 02:31 Were you not moving at all? 02:33 It's the movement that counts during the day. 02:35 You do, but you don't get as much cardiovascular... 02:42 Yes, movement is a good way to look at it 02:45 but cardiovascular-wise, I was not getting 02:48 anything from that standpoint 02:50 I heard of a company recently that they saw all their 02:53 employees keep gaining weight and become more healthy 02:56 and they had to pay these insurance plans 02:58 And what they did was they moved their parking lot 03:00 about a quarter of a mile away and FORCED their employees 03:04 to walk in everyday, as a source of lowering their 03:07 insurance premiums... A good idea! 03:08 Lots of good ideas... 03:09 And we're going to talk today about this topic... 03:12 Why people don't exercise? 03:14 An interesting statistic I would like to throw out there today 03:17 is there was a study done not too long ago 03:21 ...and I think researchers at the University of Tennessee 03:24 somewhere did this study 03:25 And they measured how many steps different groups 03:29 of people took in a day... as movement, as exercise. Right 03:32 And what got them interested in this, is through the years 03:34 Americans have walked less and less 03:37 And I'm not sure if that's the case if you're watching 03:40 worldwide, but as cultures have become Westernized, 03:43 people drive their cars... Right 03:45 They have things to mechanically do things... 03:47 they don't move as much. 03:49 Even at the store, we don't move as much. 03:52 So they did this study, and they found out that in the Amish 03:55 An Amish man in the course of the day, 03:58 took an average of 18,000 steps... 04:02 18,000 steps is what they took in a day... doing whatever 04:05 And this is a group that really they don't depend on 04:09 Westernized machineries or things like that 04:12 And then they compared it to a United States man 04:15 And guess how many, an average United States man 04:18 took in a day? 1,500... 04:20 Well, it was a little bit more than that... 04:21 They came in at 5,000 04:23 So, but that's nearly 3 times more movement 04:27 in a day, and it just amazed me at that 04:31 And I think today, everyone knows about exercise, 04:34 and that fact that it's good for you 04:36 But we're going to explore what it takes to motivate 04:39 a person to actually get up and DO something 04:43 Now what was the final straw that said... 04:46 "I'm going to get up and do it?" 04:48 And is it something you can do at once, 04:50 or is it sort of you are evolving into this? 04:52 Well, for myself, it was kind of interesting because 04:58 we live out in the country... 05:01 we've got a long driveway, 05:03 and I would be pulling our trash out to put it out every week 05:08 Oh, you didn't carry it out... 05:10 By the time I get up to the end of the driveway, 05:13 I'm out of breath 05:15 So, you know, just things like that 05:18 REALLY start making you wonder 05:20 if you are exercising enough 05:22 And, you know, when you're panting all the way back 05:25 it's a pretty sure indicator that you're not getting 05:28 enough cardiovascular exercise 05:30 Sure, so that's a good indicator Can't breathe... Right 05:33 We've collected a bunch of questions about exercise 05:38 from all over the place, and we're going to answer 05:41 some of these people's questions specifically 05:44 focusing on how do we get people moving more... Right 05:47 And our first question is from Patti in Nebraska... Okay 05:52 She says, "I've heard that exercise can lower your 05:56 blood pressure... Is there any truth to that?" 05:59 Absolutely! And I think one of the first things we need to do 06:03 is... we need to view exercise as treatment 06:07 It's treatment for blood pressure 06:08 It's treatment for diabetes 06:10 It's treatment for depression, overweight... Exactly 06:12 It's treatment for everything 06:14 A recent study in the "Archives Internal Medicine" 06:17 compared taking an antidepressant with exercise 06:20 And the people that did exercise had much better levels 06:24 You know, and with the medication, 06:25 that changes the chemicals in the body... Right 06:28 Well, so does exercise! 06:29 Let me show the first graphic that we have today 06:32 about exercise... 06:34 The benefits of exercise... these are just a few... 06:38 1. They lower the blood pressure, and they make 06:39 a substance go up that's very helpful.. those are "endorphins" 06:43 Those are the feel-good euphoric substances that happen 06:47 They decrease your LDL cholesterol.. that's the bad one 06:51 They increase the HDL cholesterol 06:53 It's helpful to diabetics, it decreases obesity, 06:59 AND, it's a treatment for depression/anxiety 07:01 So, Patti, exercise not only lowers your blood pressure, 07:06 but does many other things including the immune system 07:09 It makes it stronger, lowers the risk of breast, prostate, 07:12 and colon cancer 07:13 And it makes another substance go up called "nitrous oxide" 07:18 Now nitrous oxide is a very valuable substance that 07:21 helps prevent heart attacks, 07:22 and it helps make the arteries bigger, so it's very helpful 07:25 And we get all of that, just by exercising... Right 07:28 Now you couldn't take a pill with that many good chemicals 07:31 in it, could you? I can't imagine 07:33 Now side effects, there are side effects to exercise 07:35 Now you started your exercise program... 07:36 What are the side effects? 07:37 Let's see, joint pain... I was very sore, 07:44 extremely sore for the first week 07:46 I got to the point where I didn't even WANT to exercise 07:50 the next day, because I was so sore, 07:53 and it was hard to get started. 07:57 You know, everyone says after you exercise, 08:00 did you feel the chemicals change in your body 08:02 Did you have that endorphins... 08:03 Did you feel like relaxed-feeling, the euphoria 08:07 that comes on people after they exercise? 08:09 Did you actually have that? 08:10 I think I had the exhaustion that came with going 08:13 3 or 4 miles to start off with 08:14 ...So I kind of started out too much, too fast 08:18 But, yes, I did... it made you feel really good 08:20 and very positive about yourself and makes you feel 08:23 like you've accomplished something. And you did.. Right 08:26 Let's move on to the next question here... 08:28 The next question comes from Miranda, in South Carolina 08:32 and she says, "The gym I go to recommends exercising 08:38 30 minutes 3 times a week, is this correct?" 08:42 Well exercise is movement, movement is exercise 08:48 It doesn't necessarily have to be on a Stairmaster 08:50 It can be walking chairs... It can be pushing 08:52 It can be doing lots of different things 08:54 But 30 minutes 3 times a week, Miranda, that's good! 08:57 But what we're recommending now... 08:59 is according to where you want to go 09:01 ...30 minutes every day would be a minimum of where we want to go 09:04 Now, why is it EVERY DAY? 09:06 Well, if we're thinking of exercising like a medication 09:09 or chemicals... 09:11 ...we lose the effective exercise after a period of time 09:14 That's why we need to do a little bit of exercise every day 09:16 Now, of course, as we build up exercise, we can actually 09:21 improve our physiology, even greater than this 09:24 But I'm starting out with telling people... 09:26 Let's work up to 30 minutes every day 09:28 Does it matter WHAT they're doing? 09:30 No... Just something Or movement... Right 09:33 Swimming, walking... 09:34 We have people in a wheelchair that just move their arms 09:36 because, remember, it's increasing the heart rate 09:39 that we see the beneficial effects 09:42 And if you're not exercising now it takes, what? 30 days to 09:44 create a consistent cycle 09:48 Oh, it's a habit like any habit 09:52 You get in a good habit... Right 09:54 All righty, our next question is from Roy, in Rhode Island 10:02 He says, "Dr. Marcum, I know exercise is good, 10:05 but I just cannot make it to the gym"... That's typical 10:11 "I need help motivating myself. " 10:13 "I pray, but I still am not exercising. " 10:16 "Do you have any suggestions?" 10:19 Well, I have a few suggestions, Roy... 10:22 First of all, you know, you don't necessarily have 10:26 to go to the gym... if it's going to the gym you want to 10:29 You can come up with an exercise program at home 10:31 For instance, what I've been doing is.. I walk on a treadmill 10:35 while I watch a video, or have a devotion 10:37 You can get 2 things done at once... Right 10:40 Exercise can be... including parking your car 10:42 further away from where you have to go, and walking into work 10:46 It could be walking the stairs instead of taking the elevators 10:50 There are a lot of different forms, so don't box yourself in, 10:53 Roy, just thinking you have to go to the gym. 10:55 The second thing I would sort of move you toward is 10:59 see exercise as part of being a good steward of what 11:02 God has given you... Your body. Exactly! 11:05 God has given us a body as a gift, and He expects us to 11:08 take care of it. Really, it's an expectation 11:11 It's our responsibility. Correct! 11:13 You wouldn't leave the house without having your kids 11:16 looked at, would you Dan? No. You would make arrangements! 11:19 Well, the same with your body... This body is given to us 11:21 We have to make some arrangements... 11:23 And sort of make that mental picture... 11:25 You know, every day it's expected of me as part of 11:27 what I do... is to exercise, and start SOMEWHERE! 11:31 And try to stick with it 11:32 And as you do this, continue to pray 11:35 Why do you think prayer is important? 11:37 Well... Can we get power, you know? 11:40 I think prayer is important in a lot of ways, 11:43 prayer is important, from that aspect... Yes 11:48 I think that that's getting the Holy Spirit to give us the power 11:51 I think we can't make these changes... 11:53 You know, these bad habits, these pathways that we do 11:56 every year, unless we have EXTRA power 11:58 And I think that's great, Roy, that you're praying 12:00 And I would keep doing that... pray for the Holy Spirit 12:02 to get you out there every day doing something, 12:05 some type of movement. 12:06 And helping motivate himself... 12:09 That's something that initially when you get out and start 12:12 doing it, you'll motivate yourself automatically 12:16 For instance, when I got on the treadmill the next time, 12:21 it was easier to do it the next day because I 12:23 felt sore, so I knew something was working from that direction 12:30 And after a while, Roy, someone might tell you 12:32 that you look better! 12:34 You know, you look better You look more alive 12:36 And all these chemicals are going to make you smarter, 12:39 you're going to be just less depressed, 12:42 you're going to be happier! 12:43 I mean if you just keep going over these good effects 12:46 and if you just think about those, rather than make 12:49 the excuses, I think you could have your exercise done 12:51 A side benefit from all of this is that it gives you a great 12:54 attitude, and when it comes to exercising and different things 12:58 in your life, having a great attitude 13:00 is the #1 thing... I think 13:02 I think so too... it's very important, very important 13:04 Well let's move on to the next one here... 13:06 All right, Martin, from Kentucky says... 13:11 "My doctor asked me get an exercise stress test 13:14 before I start an exercise program" 13:17 "I did have a stent placed in my right coronary artery 13:22 2 years ago. " I plan on taking it easy" 13:25 "Do you think I really need to have a stress test?" 13:29 Well, Martin, I would do a stress test just for 13:33 peace of mind. 13:35 At one time, you had an artery that was clogged up with 13:38 cholesterol, and it was so clogged up, 13:40 that it needed to have a stent, which is a special device 13:43 to allow more blood flow go through that artery 13:46 Those stents don't stay open 100% of the time 13:51 And if you got in an exercise program and noticing 13:54 you were having pain, or discomfort, you could actually 13:56 do more damage 13:57 And also, some people might have disease in their body 14:00 that they don't even know about 14:02 So before starting an exercising program, 14:04 I would at least make sure you can't harm yourself 14:06 ...you're not going to precipitate what we call 14:09 angina, or chest pain, or funny heart rhythms, 14:11 or make things a lot worse 14:13 So, Martin, on this one, I would say I really think 14:17 on this one, you need to have a stress test before 14:19 you start an exercise program. 14:20 Are there different kinds of stress tests? 14:22 Lots of different types... 14:23 One test that we do... 14:25 we put stress on the heart in different ways... 14:27 One is we walk on a treadmill. That can put stress on the heart 14:30 while we look at the EKG, 14:32 And we also have special chemicals we could put that 14:34 go throughout the body, and we can look at the heart function 14:36 If you can't walk at all, and that's too strenuous, 14:39 we have certain chemicals. 14:40 Some people might start a swimming program, 14:42 and they're not able to walk because 14:44 their legs are bad, their joints are bad... 14:46 Those people benefit from exercise the MOST 14:49 The people that are frail, they have the MOST benefits 14:52 So then, we might give a chemical to stress the heart, 14:54 and then look at the EKG and the strength of the heart 14:57 with chemicals and nuclear cameras and echocardiogram 15:00 We can do ALL this to see if it's safe for you to 15:02 start an exercise program. 15:04 So it's a "yes" for Roy, and that was a good question! 15:08 #5... is calling from New Hampshire 15:12 "What do you consider the best form of exercise?" 15:15 Okay, now this is a very personal question 15:19 and I guess for our listening audience, just getting out 15:22 and moving is counting for something, but for me... 15:25 the best one for me, is just good old walking... 15:28 Good old walking, getting out there and walking 15:30 But some people like to swim, and that's probably the most 15:33 perfect exercise as far as relieving stress from the joints 15:37 It also helps other things by relaxing muscles 15:40 Let me bring up our second graphic here that will 15:44 explore this a little bit further... 15:47 This is how Americans say they exercise... 15:50 You know, I told you walking was MY favorite... 15:52 Well 69% of Americans say walking is their favorite 15:56 See graphic... 16:06 Swimming is 21%... I think a lot that is not everyone has 16:09 access to water 16:13 Some Americans say they exercise by playing sports 16:16 18% hiking... 16:20 And a favorite of many is golfing 16:22 As long as you're walking the course... 16:24 As long as you're walking the course... Right, 16:25 not going up there 16:27 So those are the ways that Americans say they exercise 16:29 So, Colin, the thing that I like the best, as far as 16:32 exercise is just good old walking! 16:36 And, you know, everybody is different 16:39 when it comes to exercise 16:40 But you have to pick one off the list, 16:41 or even make one up yourself... 16:43 We talked to somebody this afternoon that rides horses 16:45 Riding horses is a form of exercise. How is that exercise? 16:48 Well, let me ask you this... 16:50 If you go on a 10-mile horse ride, 16:53 and get off and you're sore, 16:56 is that an indication of exercising your muscles 16:58 that you haven't been using? 17:00 I guess so! I would think so... 17:02 I guess if your heart rate goes up, 17:03 it could be considered exercise 17:05 I guess we need to add that to the list 17:07 0.001% of Americans ride horses as daily exercise 17:12 How about riding in your car? 17:14 Can that be exercise? 17:15 Well, we've talked about developing different things 17:18 to do, you know, at your computer, 17:20 and in forms like that... Cybercise! Yes 17:23 Maybe you could squeeze a bag at the computer 17:26 Or at the steering wheel... 17:28 I've had people that do some weights at the steering wheel 17:30 ...But I want people concentrating on the road 17:32 when they're driving 17:36 Next question is from Sheri in Florida 17:39 Her question is this... 17:41 "I am the only one who exercises in my family" 17:44 "They ALL make fun of me when I leave the house to go exercise" 17:48 "Some say I smell and look disheveled because of this" 17:53 "They KNOW they should get off the couch, and come with me" 17:57 "Why don't people exercise when they know that they should?" 18:02 Boy, these questions are getting harder and harder! 18:06 Sheri, talking to your family about why they're not 18:09 exercising when they know they should... 18:11 Boy, where do I start? 18:12 Why doesn't anybody do something they know they should do? 18:16 You know... denial, laziness, bad habits, I guess 18:20 ...procrastination 18:22 Bad habits would be the #1. 18:24 Let's put up another graphic here that might help answer 18:27 this question a little bit about why Sheri's family might 18:30 not be doing what they need to do 18:32 These are reasons other people give why they don't 18:36 exercise, and, Sheri, maybe your family might be doing this... 18:39 ...65% say they don't have enough time... 18:43 Health reasons - 34%, yet those people benefit the most 18:48 the ones with health problems 18:50 Some people say it's just boring! 18:52 No place to exercise 24%. 17% say it's just too expensive 18:59 for exercising, and that's not a very good argument 19:03 I don't think... that's 17% 19:05 So it might be that your family is making some of those 19:08 excuses, but I think that's just what it is... an excuse 19:11 Correct... and, you know, excuses can be anything 19:15 because I did that forever... I made excuses as to 19:19 why I didn't have the time, or whatever to get out and do 19:22 some exercise 19:23 But, Sheri, I guess a couple of things you could do is 19:26 you could tell them out of love, and say... 19:28 "Listen, I love you guys, I want you to have a better life 19:31 I want you to feel better, look better... 19:33 I want you to live longer, have less wrinkles, 19:36 sleep better at night, and I'm praying that the 19:38 Holy Spirit will come into your life, and motivate 19:41 you to do something" 19:42 Maybe THAT might be a place to start. 19:45 And I would say, as far as the smell and the disheveled look, 19:48 that's just something they're going to have to deal with 19:50 because exercise brings on sweat... Not for some people! 19:53 Well, I don't sweat, but... 19:55 I've seen some people that look great when they exercise 19:58 And that's another good argument for swimming... Right 20:01 You know, swimming, you don't ... I guess you sweat 20:03 when you swim, but it doesn't stay on you very long 20:07 does it? Yes... How about the horse? 20:08 Do the horse-exercisers get disheveled? 20:14 I'm going to have to look into that a little bit more 20:16 Let move to the next question. All righty! 20:18 This question is from Chris, in Delaware 20:22 The question says... 20:26 "I am a 48-year-old former athlete" 20:29 It doesn't say what kind... 20:31 It says, "I still compete in racquetball. " 20:34 "Lately, my friends have been giving me a hard time 20:36 because they say I'm going to have a serious injury 20:40 that will ruin my quality of life, and perhaps even my 20:43 career" "What approach would you take 20:45 in my stage of life?" 20:47 Wow! These exercise questions are some of the hardest 20:52 ones I've got... 20:54 And that's interesting because every so often, you know, 20:58 I'm in my 40s now too, and I admit that playing these sports 21:03 help me feel like I'm not aging... 21:05 It makes me feel like I'm younger 21:07 When I go out and play some basketball, I feel like 21:09 I'm beating time a little bit. 21:11 But the body is aging, and these become more and more dangerous 21:15 and the chance of pulling a muscle, or rupturing 21:18 a ligament in the knee, or throwing a shoulder out 21:22 You've already said... just a little bit of walking caused 21:24 these things to happen Correct 21:26 As the parts age, there's a greater chance of having 21:30 them fall apart Right 21:32 So I think, the approach that I would take is 21:36 I wouldn't do anything that would cause a serious injury 21:39 You have too many people depending on you, it looks like 21:41 You know, a former athlete... 21:43 Well, I mean, you'll always be a former athlete 21:45 Just because you're not playing racquetball, 21:47 doesn't mean you're still not athletic... Right 21:49 So I would sort of try to work more towards safer things 21:53 And let me throw up the next graphic here 21:57 to sort of address some of these issues that 21:59 we're talking about for Chris from Delaware 22:03 Now, we talked about what Chris does is play racquetball 22:09 but you can be an athlete and get exercise and movement 22:11 in a number of other ways 22:14 And these are just calories burned in a minute 22:16 doing various activities... 22:18 Now, the top says 120 pound person, 22:22 and the bottom is 180 pound person 22:24 but notice... running 11.4 calories in a minute 22:27 As you, of course, weight more, you burn more calories... 22:30 jogging, swimming... Swimming is very good 22:34 Brisk walking 9.7 Now brisk walking is very safe 22:38 Look at cycling. Cycling is up there pretty high 22:40 a 180 pound person would burn 8.2 calories in a minute 22:44 Working with weights... not as much, 22:46 And we'll talk about weights more as a form of 22:49 exercise in a minute... 22:50 Hiking 6.7, and just sitting look at calories 22:55 burned in a minute by just sitting here is 1.7 22:57 So I'm getting thinner as we speak... 22:59 As long as you don't take in a lot, you will get thinner 23:04 ...that's one thing that will happen! 23:06 Let's think here a minute about this weightlifting 23:11 as a form of exercising 23:12 A lot of people enjoy lifting weights we saw on this 23:16 And I think weightlifting is great, 23:18 but as a cardiologist, we sort of are a little bit leery 23:22 of people lifting weights 23:23 And what gets us... is when we get that BIG STRAIN, 23:27 and that big strain down, and that BIG PUSHING that we do 23:30 That had surges in blood pressures, 23:33 and that surges in blood pressures really 23:36 bother us sometimes, and it's not sustained 23:40 I recommend in an exercise program... 23:42 I'm not a big, heavy weightlifter... Right 23:44 Now the benefits to weight training in an exercise program 23:48 is when you do weights, you burn more calories 23:51 per amount of time, than you would do aerobics... Correct 23:53 So I think there should be a combination of both 23:56 weight training and aerobics here in doing weight training 24:01 So I hope that answered your question, Chris 24:04 I've got one other question also... 24:08 You and I spoke about this last week, about the basketball 24:12 Sometimes our ego gets in the way of things also 24:17 and you have to, as you get older, 24:19 step back and take a look at reality and what actually is 24:24 your life at this point in time, and how your life 24:28 will be affected by being injured like that. 24:31 Well, you know, I've seen a lot of people that will... 24:35 and you've seen this too... they haven't done 24:37 a sport or activity for years and then they will have 24:41 this desire to just jump in and do it to extreme gusto 24:47 And almost every time that happens, they PAY for it 24:51 Pull something, or... Or break something, fall down 24:54 or hurt themselves 24:55 But getting back to our motivational topics... 25:00 I think we've convinced people today that exercise 25:03 is very, very important for numerous reasons... 25:06 the chemicals, the feeling-good 25:08 But getting back to HOW are we going to change 25:12 our audience today... they're sitting there at home 25:15 saying... "I know what these guys say are true. " 25:17 "I know I should start my exercise programs" 25:20 But what can we say to them here... 25:23 I want to focus just the last few minutes here with 25:25 what can we get them to really get them going 25:27 How can we give them something from this program 25:30 that they can take for the rest of their lives, 25:32 and, hopefully, get going on an exercise program? 25:36 For me, it was realizing that I was the person that was 25:41 in control of what I did when it came to exercise 25:44 My wife can't go pick me up and put me on 25:46 my treadmill and make me do it... 25:49 She can't make me go out and swim. 25:51 She can't make me do anything when it comes to that. 25:54 Physically, I'm talking about! 25:55 So I think, for myself, it was realizing that I was in control 26:01 of that aspect of my life, and then along with 26:03 prayer and the Holy Spirit giving me the power 26:05 to be able to get up off the couch and do something... 26:08 I think that's... 26:10 Well, I want to sort of focus on ... for all you couch potatoes 26:14 that are finding tons of excuses, 26:16 not to do it, whether it's boring, 26:19 or being disheveled, or whatever... 26:20 That our body is a gift... It's NOT ours! 26:25 It's not ours... it was given to us by God 26:28 with some expectations... 26:29 Like if I gave you a brand new Cadillac... 26:32 Well, maybe not a Cadillac, but a brand new BMW, 26:36 that's a car of the 40s right? 26:38 And a Cadillac, I guess, is an older man's car? Yeah... 26:40 I don't know, but if I gave you that, what would you do? 26:43 Would you take care of it? I would, yes! 26:46 We're responsible for this body, and some day, 26:48 I think that God is going to come down and say... 26:50 "Hey, listen, you know, I gave you this A-1 body, 26:52 and you just didn't do anything with it. " Right 26:55 I think we're responsible, and just having that thought is 26:57 we are responsible to do SOMETHING 26:59 The second thing I would think of exercise is look at all the 27:03 money it can save you... Correct, healthwise. 27:06 Look at all the health benefits, and I would say... 27:08 This is a treatment for almost everything... 27:11 We saw a treatment to help prevent cancer, 27:14 lower blood pressure, cholesterol, lower heart attacks 27:17 It treats almost everything... Depression 27:19 It's free and no side effects. 27:21 It can optimize our potential. 27:24 Lots of things it can do! 27:27 And Dan, we are running out of time here, 27:28 but I just wanted to thank you for joining us today 27:31 and giving your insights 27:32 into exercise, and being so candid about it. 27:34 It's hard to admit that we don't do what we should do. Yes it is 27:38 But it's even harder to get going! 27:39 So I want to thank you for being here today... 27:41 Thank you, I appreciate it. 27:42 And lastly, for you, out there, 27:45 watching "Wonderfully Yours" today 27:46 I want to encourage you to pray, pray DAILY for the POWER 27:52 of the Holy Spirit... 27:53 ...the Holy Spirit to guide EVERY aspect of your life 27:56 whether it be... most certainly the spiritual aspects, 28:00 but especially the Holy Spirit to encourage you 28:02 to get involved in exercise and movement programs 28:06 Because after all... we are very Wonderfully Made 28:10 and our God is a good God! |
