Get Focused... Stop and Think! By stopping and thinking about this we can help you sustain your new year’s resolutions. I suggest you try something different this year if your new year’s resolution is to get in shape. Rather than worry about loosing those few pounds or building those huge arms you’ve always wanted, focus on enjoying your body.
ROY HOPKINS
When was the last time you did a really hard cardio session to the point where you were completely exhausted and the endorphins had kicked in? When you stopped your body was probably in so much pain but you felt so good at the same time, almost like you’ve never been more alive. Or maybe you’re not so much into doing intense cardio but more focused on lifting weights.
Next time you’re in the gym stop after you’ve done a set and reflect on how strong your body has become and how even though you’re there at the gym tearing down your muscles, they manage to rebuild themselves and grow back stronger.
By refocusing our emphasis and doing what feels good for our bodies we will naturally push our limits but to a safe degree and will avoid overtraining and hopefully reduce the risks of injuries. You’ve only been given one body and even though it might not look exactly the way you would like, it serves you in many more important ways. You’ll feel much more satisfied after a hard workout if you make your goals performance based rather than aesthetically based. Try to push yourself further, challenge your body more and enjoy the feeling that comes along with it, both during the process and the post-exercise endorphin rush.
Conclusion
So this year, instead of setting some arbitrary measurable goal for fitness, such as loosing 5 pounds or being able to bench 200 pounds, set a goal for yourself to focus on how fitness affects your life. Working out allows your body to be in better shape so you can perform your daily functions with ease and how being strong and healthy can help you to overcome adverse situations that life throws your way. Focus on how good exercise makes you feel and how you’re doing something for your health that will help you live a longer and more satisfying life. By changing your focus you might just find that you’re still having no problems making it to the gym in February when most people seem to loose focus after the January rush. You will have changed your motivational values and will be able to look at fitness more as a way of life rather than something that is going to help you reach a measurable goal.

LAW
By Bart Brown, Local Attorney Roberts & Brown, PA
Your Health and The Law Well first and foremost let’s see how we are all doing with the ole New Year’s resolutions. The biggest problem as I see it with the most popular of resolutions...the shedding of unwanted pounds is that Bowl season, the football playoffs, and NCAA basketball are all there to greet you with open arms. Who can watch all this stuff and not want to eat pizza, wings, and chips coated in a conglomeration of assorted BART BROWN crap…The task is darn near impossible. Try a good playoff game with an assortment of carrot sticks, broccoli and/or celery and let me know how that goes. Comfort food is imperative to either soothe you because your team has been beaten by the Denver Tebows or as a reward for you being able to stay the course while your team fought through adversity to bring you the W. Yes, the reason we struggle more-so now with losing weight to start the year is because bowl season goes through the middle of January while the Super Bowl ends in February…well heck, by then, everyone has gained 10 and the resolution goes by the wayside. Hence…another reason for a playoff in college football that will end the season by New Year’s Eve. Remove college football from the equation and maybe the resolution now becomes doable. The next resolution for North Carolinians has to be to not receive a traffic citation. The Republican Congress (and I am a registered Republican by the way) in their infinite wisdom has come up with a tremendous way to keep from increasing your taxes. They have decided to double and sometimes triple court costs on speeding tickets and all other traffic tickets and guess how many of us speed? Not only that, but the increases are complicated to the point that solving rubics cube without the book is less complicated than knowing how much you may owe for your traffic transgression. I have been practicing law for 17 ½ years. When I started practicing, the court costs were normally $60. Last year, before these changes they were $120, so if my math is correct the court costs roughly doubled in that time period and it was a gradual progression. Now the absolute lowest you will pay for court costs is $178. If you try to get a really good deal, for instance, getting a speeding case reduced to a non moving violation, you are talking about $268 and maybe even $50 more for driving school. Add $150-$200 for an attorney to handle this ticket for and you have spent darn near $500 for a simple speeding ticket and for the
Congress to say they did not raise taxes. So do not get a speeding ticket, but if you do...and you will…I know a good lawyer!!!! Finally, everyone wants to have that prosperous upcoming year, and I certainly hope you all are making headway in that regard…to an extent. We must all wish each other moderate prosperity now, because all out prosperity will define you cruel, mean and apparently not participating in your portion of shared sacrifice. If you are one of the dreaded one percenter’s, please look for an “OCCUPY your front yard” in the not too distant future. You must pay your fair share, right? Even though when we look at the phenomenal growth that took place during the Reagan years, the top marginal income tax rate was dropped from 70% to around 40% and the capital gains rate was reduced from 40% to 20%. Hey, but maybe it was just a coincidence (sarcasm in voice). Anyway, all this to say that I hope you are having a happy and MARGINALLY prosperous new year thus far!!!

DIVING
Rum Runner Dive Shop> Peter B. Wagner DO. Owner
Age, Fitness, and Diving Exercise and Diving Exercise is any activity that raises the resting oxygen consumption above basal levels. Most parts of the body contain a functional reserve which can be called up during exercise--this applies particularly to the heart. Limitations imPETER B. WAGNER DO posed by heart disease may be often assessed by measurements of maximal heart performance. Many experts have emphasized the need to measure cardiac reserve through exercise stress testing, and this has become a useful clinical means for checking physical reserve while diving. Since heart disease is one of the common causes of sudden death underwater, fitness for sport diving must include assessment for heart disease risk. *Underwater swimmers with full scuba gear have been tested for the amount of work involved; divers must be in good physical condition to do a sustained swim at 1 knot (101 feet/minute, or about a 1.15 mph ). One met = 3.5 ml/kg/minute, and since VO2 Max is 40, a diver swimming 1 knot should be able to reach and sustain 13 mets on the treadmill. (Some feel that this speed is quite slow and 13 mets is high.) Swimming at about 60 % of maximum [about 24 ml/kg/min] is slightly below the anaerobic threshold can be sustained for long periods of time since it is not lactate producing. *
ASSESSING FITNESS Physicians planning to evaluate sport divers require a basic knowledge of the physiology of diving and a fundamental understanding of the diving environment. It is helpful if the physician is also a diver himself. Assessment of fitness for diving must consider physical conditioning as well as limitations imposed by medical conditions. The medical evaluation should consider absolute, relative, or tempo-
rary disqualifying conditions as well as excessive smoking and substance abuse. Poor muscle tone, lack of conditioning, obesity and other evidence of dietary indiscretion should be a stimulus to advise the diver about fitness. A medical condition that could injure the diver or his buddy diver should disqualify the diver. The buddy-diver system is the universally recognized practice of pairing scuba divers for mutual safety and implies that each of the pair is fully capable of providing effective aid to the other. Limitations in one of the buddy pair upsets this balance of safety. Obesity represents a hazard to divers because of the common lack of adequate physical condition in obese individuals and because inert gas exchange and its relationship to decompression sickness are modified unfavorably. Total body fat of less the 22% in males, and less than 28% in females is desirable.
DIVER FITNESS AND AGE The majority of elderly people do not exercise adequately. For diving good physical condition is essential. Although physical capacity is known to decline with age (Bruce et aI 1974; Raven and Mitchell 1980), it is unclear whether the loss of physical capacity is related to age or to the inactivity common in older individuals. Because of the reduced physical activity experienced by older individuals, there is a deconditioning effect. Most elderly divers are not capable of sustaining the work load of younger individuals. The reduction in physical capacity must be accounted for when accompanying older divers. Studies in older athletes suggest that the decline in physical capacity with age can be minimized by continued physical training (Heath 1980). Elderly divers should be healthy, and possess a level of physical condition that allows them to dive safely. Chronic diseases known to be of higher incidence in the elderly present special problems in diving. A significant and important problem in the elderly is the high incidence of cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis can affect flow to the brain, heart. kidneys, or skeletal muscles. These disorders may go undetected and high exercise demands induced by swimming with diving gear may result in inadequate oxygen supply and abnormal function of a tissue or organ. Of most importance is the presence of coronary atherosclerosis with coronary artery disease, heart attack or sudden death may occur in unfit divers with coronary disease. Avoidance of serious cardiac problems while diving can be achieved through appropriate screening evaluation (Linaweaver 1977). Exercise testing is a useful means of screening in elderly individuals prior to instituting a diving program.

LOST 40 POUNDS!
Real People, Real Results! PAIGE BAGGETT “I have been working out with Roy for the past two years. Roy always motivates and challenges me to stay healthy and physically fit. While working out with Roy, he told me about Body by Vi. I was anxious to try the “shake mix that taste like cake mix.” I started the Body by Vi challenge and fell in love with the shakes. I have lost about 10 lbs. already and continue to drink my shakes daily.”
KEEKEE Thanks to training with Roy and the BBVi program I’ve been able to lose and keep off 15 lbs and a lot of inches off my hips, waist, chest, and thighs. I have more energy thanks to all the nutrition provided by the BBVi shakes. Also, Thanks to BBVi I’ve been able to comfortably wear clothing I wasn’t able to wear last winter!! Roy is a great professional trainer that makes me laugh in every session and he also kicks my butt as well. If you are seeking a training I would not look longer cause Roy and his staff at Pro Fitness 24 are true professionals!
JOHNNY AND KAREN JONES We are so glad we learned about the Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge. It’s the most simple, most delicious and most effective way we have ever found to loose weight and keep it off. Together we’ve lost 40 pounds so far and feel great! I challenge you to take the challenge for your self.
GAIL NICHOLS I have worked out and been active all my life and yet I was finding it more and more difficult to shed the pounds and to firm up the “middle-age inter tube”. A doctor even told me that I would just need to learn to live with it because it wasn’t going away. In June my daughter and I went on a high protein diet and we both began to loose weight. I really didn’t start out to loose weight I just wanted to get rid of the added layer of fat I had acquired as a result of middle age.I joined a new gym, Profitness 24 and began training with Roy Hopkins. He encouraged me to add the Vi Protein Shakes to my diet in order to get more of the protein that I needed and to help keep me full. The shakes are really good! They taste and smell like cake mix.They are not the powdery ones that I have had before. My favorite is when I mix it with my coffee on cold mornings! In December I went to my doctor for my physical and I had lost 12 pounds and I have lost several inches, even in my mid-section! All my clothes are loose and I feel really good. Can I say that it was just one thing that made me loose the weight and the inches? No but I can say that it has been so much easier than before when I was killing myself working out and starving myself with no results! I am still not Jennifer Lopez but I’m feeling better and I am looking better!

Hypertension and Exercise Hypertension, or commonly known as high blood pressure, is one of the most common medical diseases in the United States and effects over 25% of the adult population. Additionally, the leading cause of death in the United States is cardiovascular disease, but many sources and symptoms, including hypertension, leading up to these diseases and related illnesses are preventable. Blood pressure is defined as the systolic pressure (SBP) over the diastolic pressure (DBP), with the normal considered 120/80 mmHg. The numbers in the fraction represent the highest and lowest pressures during one heartbeat. Blood pressures above normal are categorized into stages, with stage I formerly termed “pre-hypertension” with a blood pressure between 140-159 systolic, and 90-99 diastolic. The importance of treating this “silent killer” lies in its associated risk to cardiovascular disease as well as other maladies including renal disease, stroke, heart failure, and peripheral artery disease. Exercise as a lifestyle modification is beneficial to a wide variety of health conditions. Cardiovascular exercise strengthens your system overall, especially your heart and lungs. The stronger your heart gets, the easier it is for your heart to move blood along, meaning it needs to apply less force when it beats and pumps blood around. The idea is that if you strengthen your heart a lot, your blood pressure will decrease accordingly, because your heart just doesn’t have to work as much. A 2000 review from the University of Maryland College Park, published in the journal “Sports Medicine,” noted that exercise worked to reduce blood pressure in about 75 percent of the subjects studied. Results were better for women and for those who did low- or moderate-intensity exercise. Some published reports indicate “moderate-intensity exercise has been scientifically documented to effectively lower blood pressure in people, perhaps more so than vigorous-intensity exercise.” Moderate-intensity exercise includes walking, biking, and other activities that moderately raise the heart rate. Newer guidelines call for 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity (primarily aerobic exercise, which helps get heart rates to 70%-85% of an individual’s maximal heart rate, or endurance exercise supplemented by resistance exercise) on most, preferably all days of the week for people with hypertension. The 30 minutes can be at once or accumulated during the day, such as in three 10-minute walks. These recommendations are in line with national physical activity guidelines for healthy adults issued by the CDC.
Here’s how to calculate 70% and 85% of your maximal heart rate, in heartbeats per minute: Maximal heart rate [max HR] = 220 - [your age] 70% of Maximal heart rate = 0.70 x [max HR];85% of Maximal heart rate = 0.85 x [max HR]
The encouragement of regular exercise is not only useful as a treatment method for individuals with hypertension, but should also be advocated as a means for prevention. Predictors that may be examined to evaluate the risk of developing hypertension include resting BP, family history, and physical activity levels. Higher physical activity levels have shown an inverse relationship to the development of hypertension. For individuals who are taking prescription medications to help lower blood pressure or underlying cardiovascular disease, it is advised to first consult with your physician to discuss the intended type and level of exercise. Depending on other medical comorbidities, a screening exercise stress test may be indicated beforehand.
