Exercise for the week…
~ Stability Ball Dumbbell Press ~
1) Starting Position: Sit on a properly inflated stability ball (one that compresses approximately 6" under your body weight) holding dumbbells, with your feet flat on the floor. Slowly lean backwards while walking yourself out along the ball until your head, shoulders, and upper back make contact on the ball. Adjust your leg position to create a 90 degree bend at the knees with your thighs and torso at or nearly parallel to the floor. Your thighs should be hip-width apart with your feet facing forward and your weight distributed evenly through your feet.
2) Depress and retract your scapulae (pull shoulders down and back) to make firm contact with the ball and maintain this position throughout the exercise. Grasp each dumbbell with a closed, pronated grip (thumbs wrapped around the handles, palms facing forward) and position them at, or just above chest level, aligned with your armpits. Maintain a neutral wrist position (straight, not bent).
3) Upward Phase: Exhale, stiffen your torso by contracting your abdominal/core muscles ("bracing") to stabilize your spine and slowly press the dumbbells upward to a position directly above your chest with your elbows extended, but not locked. Your hands should be shoulder width-apart or closer, and wrists neutral (straight, not bent). Keep your feet pressed into the floor and your hips pushed up towards the ceiling to maintain stability and control during the exercise.
4) Downward Phase: Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells in unison until they lie level with or near your chest. Attempt to keep the dumbbells parallel with each other and wrists in neutral position (straight, not bent). Your head, shoulders and upper back should maintain contact with the ball, and your torso and thighs should be parallel with the floor.
Before beginning any fitness program, always see a qualified healthcare provider for advice and to address any questions or concerns. The exercises presented on this website are for suggestion only and should not be substituted for medical diagnosis or treatment. Participate at your own risk and stop if you feel faint or experience shortness of breath.
Food for the week…
~ Cantaloupe ~
Nutritional facts about Cantaloupes…
Cantaloupes (although you might not notice the resemblance) are related to squashes, and rank somewhere between summer and winter squashes in terms of nutritiousness. They resemble summer squashes in their high water content and low Calorie count. But like pumpkin or butternut squash, its… (More)

Dish for the week…
~ Gingered Cantaloupe with Kiwi & Toasted Almonds (Serving: 4 / Prep Time: 60 min.)

2 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 small cantaloupe (about 2 pounds): peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks

Yoga pose for the week…
~ One Leg Pose ~
1) Stand with the feet together and the arms by your sides (see the tad-asana).
2) Focus the eyes straight ahead on a spot midway between waist and eye level and remain focused there throughout this asana. (standing about five feet from a wall would be helpful).
3) Inhale and extend the arms directly in front, parallel with the floor with thumbs touching.
4) Exhale and raise the right knee bending the leg at a 90 degree angle, pause for a moment then extend the leg straight out in front pointing the toes forward.
5) Pause for a moment then swing the leg backward while bending forward at the waist.
6) Breath slowly through the nostrils and make sure the arms, torso and legs are parallel with the floor.
7) Hold the posture for at least 30 seconds and then return slowly to a standing position.
