End the "amoy lupa for seniors"

Wheels of Happiness

After watching several videos on this topic some of the advice are:

Internal;:

1.  Drink plenty of water.   You need to hydrate to expel the toxins and waste products in your body;

2.  Exercise and sweat for at least 30 minutes a day to expel waste products in your body.

External:

3.  Take a bath daily

4.  Invest in a loofah to scrub the hidden parts of your body:   groin, armpits

5.  Change your clothes often.

6.  Change your bedsheets and comforter weekly

7.  Use deodorant and body wash often.

8.  Gargele brush teeth gums often

The body smell has something to do with change in the composition of skin oil which now smells rancid.

An unknown blogger, BA - TJ sent questions regarding seniors biking

Wheels of Happiness

An unknown blogger, netizen DM me 9 point questions regarding biking for seniors.  Though I do not know much about him, and the qurestions were straight forward, I answered him promptly.  I told him too that I was with Kara David in 400 km bike ride to Bicol

The questions center on benefits of biking, and how biking should be:

1.  Biking develops posture, you dont stoop or do duck walk;

2.  Better breathing 

3.  Long life

4.  Lesser maintenance medicine

5.  Being more positive, happier

6.  Having stronger bones.  

     The theory is that brittle bones is not caused solely by lack of Vit D and Calcium but by weaker muscles.   So you have to exercise if possible using weights.    Lifting weights develope muscles which makes bones stronger.

7.  Freedome from Sarcopenia.  As we age, our muscle mass depletes.  Only exercise can partially stop that or stop that.   

So bike more exercise more

X ray of legs after dooring accident - no fractures and/or dislocation

Wheels of Happiness

I had to see a doctor as heavily suggested by children to preclude any complications after the dooring accident.  I had to see a doctor, last Thursday, and was schedulred for x ray the followign day   But the diagnostic center was closed.

I was x rayed Friday.  I got the results at 3 pm.  Fortunately the results said no fracture, no disclocation.  Boy was I glad.  Strong bones and legs.    Resulting from frequent ride and heavy gears.

Ingat pa rin.  

Why the puzzles? Othewise, let us join the rescue, relief, rebuild of flooded communities

Wheels of Happiness

We cant bike,  Streets are flooded.  Rains do not stop.   Rains can seep into hubs, headset, and cranks, BB and wreck our bikes.

So as not to waste time, we continue static exercises for the body,  And these puzzles for the Brain.

Otherwise, we join activities for rescue, relief, and rebuilding of flooded communities.  

Brain games for a while while waiting for the rains to go away

I did some physical exercise this morning.  But of course biking will  be missed.  Let us exercise the brain for a while

Doing the daily 50's, aside from biking (if you are over 50)

Wheels of Happiness

This post has read about the daily 50's to maintain senior health:   knee bends, lunges, push ups, arm movements, push ups to maintain optimum health

Do you observe this?  I saw my brother in law collapse and unable to support himself in a CR because his left ankle has gone bad.  He all ready uses a walker and a cane.

These are to be done in conjunction with walking, running and biking.

Growing popularity of running, duathlon, triathlon

Wheels of Happiness

This post often see events:  running, duathlon, triathlon.   And those practicing along roads and hills.

I could not join the running craze again because of all ready damaged knee tendon   Started running in 1985, after my father died, since his EENT said that the only way to overcome cancer and live long is by exercising.  He ran the Boston Marathon and he graduated from Harvard.  And posted in his clinic is not his Harvard Diploma but him finishing the Boston Marathon..   And so I started running:  joining 5k, 10 k, 21 k and 42 k   I experienced  training of run of 30 km or more.  Did not join ultramarathon though.

Then moved to trekking, 4x4, and lately biking.    I stayed long in biking because of good company and great destinations.   

Sports, in particular biking, develops one to be a successful person in business and other career

Wheels of Happiness

It is often the observation that sportsman often turn out to be successful, millionaire and even billionaire businessmen like Michael Jordan, Shaq o Neal,  Oscar de la Hoya,  M Pacquiao.  So are other nameless investment banker and business owner.

Why do sportsmen, bikers becomes successful:

1.  They develop good habits.  They wake up early, practice, have training schedule

2.   They improve everyday.  Performance has to improve:   faster, stronger, higher

3.  They practice goal orientation.   Every action has to have a goal.  For instance, a long ride has a goal

      to reach a far away destination.  After reaching a destination a new goal takes over -  how to get home

4.   Results matter.     The mile run has to be under 3:30, the marathon in 2 hours (or less)

5.  Hardship make you tough, resilient and determined.    Hardship make you a better person.  You develop

     persistence, patience and determination.  

6.  You are trained to plan when you ride:   your route, your equipment (your inputs:   bike, tools, PHP, 

     how to negotiate your route Consider the weather:  rain or sunshine  (sunburn protection)

6.  Not to quit.    Only to rest for a while:  5 mins.  But never to quit

Strong mind in a strong body.    Mens sana  en corpora sano

All the things that we see now were created by thoughts of human mind.  And certainly only people with strong body can think well and come out with good things for the society.  

So what are you waiting for?  When do you start to exercise?   When do you start to bike

Ways to slow down the aging process

The advice was (to slow down aging)

      1.  Exercise

      2.  Do occasional High Intensity Interval Training

      3.  Go with young people

I did this early in the morning today:  the exercise and HIIT

This afternoon, hung out with the young bikers at Wawa.  I wonder if I am looking much younger.

Who has the last say? Make up your minds? Exercise, like lugaw is non essential?

DOH says there can be exercise from 6 -9 am during ECQ

Make up your mind guys.  Or you can be arrested as Un Authorized APOR.  In one checkpoint the police officers required face shield.  

The unwarranted arrests, granular interpretation of orders, has sowed confusion, resentment but have not resulted in lower numbers.    Prove to us that arrests and police action vs covid reduces the morbidity???

Get rid of the flabs! Live healthier!

Real Cyclists

Rizal   PHL    |  March 30 2013

The Picasa album has enabled me to see that a good 50% of our riders have lifesavers, love handles on their waists.  Perhaps this condition gives them difficulty in their rides.  While we bike, we have been unable to reduce our body/waist flabs.  Please take note that very few people with waists over 40 inches survive.   Flabs around the waist means:

l.  there is fat at the liver
2.  there is fat at the heart
3.  there is fat at thelungs

These vital organs cant function properly.

Some simple suggestions to combat the flab (please read posts too on flabs, and slimming techniques)

l.  Diet:   1.  eat organic unprocessed food like raw fruits and vegetables;
               2.     avoid junk food
               3.   avoid wine, alcohol, and drinks with high fructose corn syrup

2.  Exercise
               1.  push ups to strengthen core muscles
               2.  planking
               3.  Peak Fitness Program
                       l.  HIIT -  High intensity interval training.
                       2. Strength training -  weights or resistance training but slower - double the time. I have posted linked this many times.

              For the last two under PFP, I have seen great results.  I exercise less often daily but I feel stronger.  Why dont you try them?  Say starting tomorrow - Easter Sunday, and live healthier

Is Exercise a Medicine?

Biking and good health
                                    
     

Normally we think of exercise as only benefiting only physical fitness. It has never occurred to our mind (or has it) that it benefits mental health or that it can be considered a medicine.

We have emphasized that exercise or intense physical activity of at least 30 minutes is a detox.  The perspiration from intense physical activity removes and releases toxic by products from the body.

It has been found out that exercise induces growth of brain cells.  We wonder whether there are other pharma medicine can induce brain genesis.
