Wow–what a Super Bowl. And today, everyone is talking about the
commercials of course. Some loved them, some didn’t and every talk
show I heard has a comment. Regardless, it’s a grand event, and
something my hubby would have looked forward to and had a lot of
comment about. He was a great back seat driver when it came to
football.
Remember my 80 year old friend I told you about. I took her to a
jazz concert on Saturday night and she got to sing. She was
fantastic! They wanted her to do more but she wasn’t quite sure
about her voice so she refused. It was a grand evening and my
friend, Joan Cartwright, was the host and main performer.
Got a great report from my oncologist and he told me to keep doing
what I’ve been doing. It always puts everything else in perspective
when your health is an issue. I work very hard at keeping fit as
you all know, and take it very seriously.
Met with another survivor, Rhonda Smith, who has created a wonderful
breast cancer site. www.breastcancerpartner.com She is one of the
most compassionate, gentle, intelligent people I know and is trying
to become a great resource for survivors (although I call them
champions).
I can’t believe we’re in February and it’s been over 80 degrees just
about every day. Heading to Washington, D.C. the end of the week
and just know I’m going to freeze!

Question and Answer:
Q: I am very confused about exercise. I know you like to work out
a lot but I am really a couch potato and don’t know how to start.
Any suggestions?
A: That’s exactly why I created my DVD series “Let’s Get Moving.”
I know that many women can’t keep up my pace but you have to do
something. It can be walking, biking, swimming, yoga, pilates,
spinning, or more strenuous exercise but you must do weight training.
It is very important for your bones that you use resistance and
you must get your heart pumping with some cardio. But start slowly.
If you choose walking, do it for 15 minutes the first day at a pace
that you like. Within 5 days, you’ll find yourself walking longer
and faster. The same will happen with any exercise you choose. Just
don’t go for broke the first few days or you’ll be so sore, you’ll
never want to tackle it again.
If you’re interested, my series is in a 3 set of weight training,
body bar and kick boxing and it’s all designed for women over 50.
The women in the series are not pros, they’re from the gym where
I go. But just do something. You will not believe the difference
it will make in your life.

the players.
