Page 2 Alternatives to Running By Thomas Bement HR Generalist Running is one of the best forms of cardiovascular exercise you can find. It's great at burning calories, lowering your body fat percentage and improving the health of your cardiovascular system. Unfortunately, running can also be hard on your joints and can cause some injuries. Fortunately, there are plenty of other forms of exercise that can replace running. 1. 2. Swimming. Swimming is a great place to start a cardio routine. It doesn't require you to support your 3. own body weight which makes it a great option for those who are overweight and prone to injuries that are common in runners. If you aren't a good swimmer, there are plenty of flotation devices you can use to help you work your way up to a better Cycling. A bike is a good, low-impact alternative to running. Unlike running, you can use a bike to travel long dis- 4. tances which can even save you gas money. Ride your bike to the gym or the store instead of driving, or to your local park just for fun. If you don't own a bike, you can also use the stationary bikes at the gym or sign up for a spinning class. A spinning class is a relatively quick (and high intensity) way to workout. Walking on an Incline. If you like 5. working out on the treadmill but can't run, try walking on an incline. Most treadmills go up to at least a 12% grade which can be just as challenging as a run. When you set the speed and incline high enough, you will burn 400-600 calories per hour without even running. Rowing. Try using a rowing machine if you like doing your cardio at the gym but hate the treadmill and stationary bike. These machines will get your legs and upper body in on the action giving you more of a full-body cardiovascular workout. Another al- ternative to the treadmill and bike is the stair climber which can also be very challenging. Circuit Training. Circuits use strength training exercises (free weights, body weight exercises, machines, resistance bands) with little or no rest in between sets. This keeps your heart rate up just like running and incorporates all the muscles in your body. Circuit training can save you time at the gym by combining elements of both strength training and cardiovascular exercise. This will keep you from having to incorporate them separately into your workout.

Brought to you by USDA “SNAP” Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) Colleen Blattenbauer, Nutrition Education 1-218-983-3286 Ext: 1395 Healthy Eating Tip 3: It's not just what you eat, it's how you eat Healthy eating habits can be learned and it is important to slow down and think about food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down between meetings or on the way to pick up the kids. Eat with others whenever possible. This practice has numerous social and emotional benefits, particularly for children, and allows you to model healthy eating habits. Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating. Take time to chew your food and enjoy mealtimes. Chew your food slowly and savor every bite. We tend to rush through our meals, forgetting to actually taste the flavors and feel the textures of our food. Reconnect with the joy of eating. Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or if a glass of water will suffice. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly. Eat breakfast and smaller meals throughout the day. A healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism, and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day keeps your energy up and your metabolism going. Avoid eating at night. Try to eat dinner earlier in the day and then nothing until breakfast the next morning. Early studies suggest that this simple dietary adjustment (eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day) may help to regulate weight. Also, after-dinner snacks tend to be high in fat and calories so are best avoided.

What if much of what we need for well-being could be found in a small patch of soil? OK, a garden won’t solve all of life’s challenges. You still have to pay the mortgage and go to the dentist. But a garden does afford treasures beyond the fall harvest or a splash of color along a walkway. Tending a garden can boost health and illuminate life’s wonders. “I don’t have to be anything when I’m in my garden, “ says Becky Mack, a 40-year old facility space planner whose Kansas City, Mo., front yard is a wild palette of vegetation, Ornamental grasses, anemone, and marigolds rub shoulders with Swiss chard and peppers, white moon flowers and Spanish flag clamber a trellis anchored in a patch of strawberries and bush beans. “My friends say I’m very creative in my garden, but I don’t feel creative,” she says. “It’s almost like something instinctual takes over and I get swept up in the force of it.

There is something therapeutic about just deadheading flowers.” There is something therapeutic about soil, as well. Further research indicates that exposure to M. vaccae may enhance cognitive function and improve learning, too.

Stop feeling guilty and realize that you deserve some time to yourself each day. When you are tired, stressed out and pulled in too many directions, it’s hard to give your best in all you must accomplish. Remember, self-time is not selfish; it’s a necessary dimension of selfcare. 2. Decide how best to spend “me” time. How each of us chooses to spend free time is as individualized as we all are. If you had an extra 15 minutes, a half hour, an afternoon or an entire day, what would you do to make yourself feel rejuvenated, relaxed and happy? Write a list and keep it handy when you begin scheduling time into your calendar. 3. Evaluate the things that are wasting your time each day. Do you check your emails constantly and end up spending more time on your computer than you planned? If this sounds like you, you must take the time to organize your responsibilities, and you will gain more free time than you ever imagined. 4. Learn to say “no” to things you don’t really want to do, don’t value or don’t bring you satisfaction and joy. 5. Ask for help with tasks that don’t necessarily have to be completed by you alone. 6. At the beginning of each week, take a few minutes to designate specific time slots for all that must be accomplished, including “me” time. Treat your personal time like you would any other appointment and make it nonnegotiable. 7. Commit to a minimum of 15—20 minutes of “me” time every day. Do something (or nothing) that completely lets go of responsibilities and releases your mind, allowing you to be alone with your thoughts. 8. Create a daily ritual. This can be a bath, listening to music, taking a walk or meditating. Make it something you can look forward to. Stop wishing you had more time to yourself, and commit to carving it into your schedule. Rather than bemoan your lack of time, change your approach and create the time using the tips above. You will be amazed at how a little bit of time to yourself can make a huge difference in your health and happiness.

The lily of the valley has the flower meaning of humility, chastity, sweetness and purity. Lily of the valley is a native of Europe. Lily of the valley can be grown is sun or shade and is a beautifully fragrant groundcover. Lily of the Valley has also been used in herbal medicine as a poison antidote, for the heart and epilepsy. Lily of the valley is one of the most delicate and beautiful of the lily family. According to legend, the lily of the valley came into being from Eve's tears after she was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. The lily of the valley is also known as "fairy ladders" in Ireland. The lily of the valley is poisonous. The only poisonings recorded have occurred when the water from a vase of lily of the valley flowers was drunk. May Birthstone: EMERALD Spring is a time of new growth and rebirth. And the intense brilliant green of the Emerald, May’s birthstone, is as refreshing to the eyes as a spring garden after a rain. Within it’s depths are often tiny fractures or inclusions, which the French call "jardin," or garden, because of their resemblance to foliage. The Egyptians were known to engrave Emeralds with the symbol for foliage to represent eternal youth, and to bury these jewels with their dead. In the sixteenth century, the Spanish Conquistadors were amazed to find the native people wearing Emeralds larger and more magnificent than any they had ever seen. Although the natives attempted to hide their Emerald mines, the Spaniards soon discovered and conquered most of them. But it took twenty years before they found the abundant mining operation held by the Muzo Indians, and another thirty years to overtake this aggressive tribe. The Emerald is a member of the beryl family of minerals. The green crystals grow slowly within metamorphic rocks and are restricted in size by the rock, making large Emeralds rare and costly. A gift of Emerald for an anniversary -- or anytime -- is considered symbolic of love and fidelity. May Fun Facts Several stories have passed around to show how the month of May was named. The most widely accepted explanation is that it was named for Maia, the Roman goddess of spring and growth MEMORIAL DAY or Decoration Day is observed, in most states of the United States, the last Monday in May. It is a legal holiday and is observed in memory of those who died while serving the United States in war. The graves of the war heroes are decorated with flowers. It was first observed in 1866. May events MOTHER’S DAY was first observed in 1908. It was designated by Presidential proclamation, and was recognized officially by Congress and the President in 1914. It is celebrated in honor of Mother’s on the second Sunday of May.
