STEP BY STEP

Sally Anderson

Creative movement Are you moving enough? There is an old saying that says energy begets energy. You don’t have to look any further to gain that energy than incorporating movement into your daily living. When our bodies get moving, “feel good” endorphins follow. The increase in endorphin levels gives our desired energy a boost.

Moving our bodies throughout the day also helps build more durable, denser bones, yields better sleep, sharpens memory, and even reduces anxiety and depression. Excessive sitting, which has increased through the years, has developed into a real concern.

Back in the day, people only sat for 3-5 hours a day.

Today, that duration has increased to 13-15 hours per day. The American Heart Association tells us the number of sedentary jobs has increased by 83% in the past 70 years.

The impact of movement is essential as we age for maintaining our independence. Even modest activity can help with balance and lower the risk of falling and breaking bones. For some good news, there are many ways we can offset our sitting time. Simply break up the time when you are having some long “sit downs” by walking around for 5-10 minutes every hour. And for people who don’t like to exercise with weights or group classes but know they need to add more movement into their lives, there are other ways to jump start those endorphins with what I like to call creative movements.

Alternative Ways to Exercise Cover your major muscle groups with squats, lunges and pushups.

Other options include:

• Walking: Gets you moving and is the most popular form of exercise.

• Grocery shopping: Increases endurance by taking a few extra laps in the grocery store.

• Stationary biking: Boosts energy and easy on joints.

• Swimming: Strengthens the entire body.

• Dance class: Combines mental and physical skills while

challenging your coordination. Try out a few different styles: zumba, ballet, tap dancing, swing dancing, or just turn on music at home and move to your own beat; music is a great motivator.

Your Move | Demonstrated by Barbi Bozich Exercises imitating a few athletic movements

Mix up the cardio movements as you wish, just keep them going until you reach your personal time limit. Enjoy.

TENNIS FOREHAND Core muscles, upper back, chest, shoulders, biceps and triceps all come into play during a tennis swing or serve.

• Bending knees, hold racquet or using one or two arms if you don’t have a racquet, rotate hips and shoulders to the right side while taking racquet or arms toward the back.

• Follow through the stroke toward left shoulder, pretending you are hitting the ball.

• Instead of running for the ball return, be light on feet and jog in place for 30 seconds.

• Repeat “hitting” and “jogging” pattern 8-10 times.

TENNIS BACKHAND

• Holding racquet or pretending you are holding a racquet, turn sideways to the left.

• Bend knees taking racquet back; shoulder will be under chin.

• As you stroke imaginary ball, follow through toward the ear.

• Continue alternating the stroke with jogging, repeating 8-10 times.

SPEED SKATER Strengthens

quads, calves, glutes, abs. Improves stability and balance.

• With bent knees in a mini squat, step, jump or leap to the right leg, sweeping left foot across behind you.

• While keeping back straight, left arm comes across the front of body and right arm swings toward the back.

• Continue alternating sides for 20 repetitions.

SWIMMING (BREAST STROKE) Strengthens

chest muscles, upper back, triceps.

• Standing tall with feet a comfortable distance apart, step right foot forward into a lunge with back straight and knees bent; back heel off floor.

• Avoid knees moving over toes.

• Elbows bent by your sides, push arms forward and circle back to your sides, imitating a breast stroke.

• Push back from lunge, repeating pattern 10 times.

• Do 10-12 low impact jumping jacks.

• Step forward with left foot and follow pattern.

• Perform movements in a quick tempo.

BOXING BASIC Punches involve

larger muscles of shoulder and chest.

• With feet staggered, shift weight back and forth in a rocking motion.

• Be light on feet as you rock.

• With both arms bent, use a quick forward punching motion with back arm.

• Repeat 10 times, change sides and repeat pattern.

Check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program. Sally Anderson is happy to hear from readers but can’t respond to individual inquiries.

MY FAVORITE CAR Brandon

1970 Plymouth Barracuda

This is the story of Ebony, my 1970 Plymouth ’cuda 340. She was ordered through an Army PX in the summer of 1969 while I was stationed in Vietnam. After I went through the option list and ordered her just the way I wanted, I was told they wouldn’t start building the car until after I had left Vietnam. I guess they wanted to be sure I would be around to pick it up when she was completed. I left Vietnam on Dec. 15, 1969, and the car was delivered to my local hometown Plymouth dealer in Brooklyn, New York on Jan. 30, 1970.

After surviving the streets of Brooklyn for 6 years, I moved to Long Island, where my wife used Ebony as her vehicle, because I had access to a company car.

After seven years, I moved to New Jersey, where Ebony was garaged and not used very often. In 1996, Ebony went in for a full cosmetic refreshing, new paint, new trim, re-chroming of the bumpers, and new interior pieces and upholstery where needed. Ebony has been my pride and joy for 51 years now, and has won numerous awards during her lifetime.
