The Best Way to Exercise for OSTEOPOROSIS

What's the Big Secret to Developing Bone Density???



Well... my typical tenet for training is to observe the masses and do the opposite, and here we go again! It's the same story for a different disease. People so often have the best of intentions following the worst of advice.

As the owner of one of the largest fitness centers in Connecticut, I've met hundreds of people over the years who have joined my facility specifically on "doctor's orders," prescribed to stride their skeletons to strength, substance, and solidity on a treadmill.

Unfortunately, the "weight-bearing" exercise of walking doesn't have a leg to stand on.

In fact, walking is just the beginning of weight-bearing exercise. Sure it's fine to walk for exercise (especially if you like walking, because that's about all that it gets you in shape to do). However, if you're truly interested in developing bone density, after you're done with your walk, your should then run to your nearest resistance training program.

So, the secret is, once again, to do the opposite of everyone else. And since everyone (and their osteoporotic mother) is walking as weight-bearing exercise...

DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WALKING

Walking isn't bad... it just isn't good. Walking only impacts a handful of bones from one given angle. To effectively impact your complete skeletal structure, you MUST have forces pulling on as many bones, from as many directions, as possible.

So how do forces pull on bones?

Join the Resolution Revolution

Hi Everyone... or Anyone??? :-)

Are you still motivated? January 3rd isn't a bad day to start working on our New Year's resolutions together, is it? I'm looking forward to the opportunity of sharing with you as much as I know... as regularly as I can.

If I'm preaching to the choir, GREAT! Kudos to those of you who already work out on a regular basis, becoming lean, toned, flexible, and fit. There is nothing more amazing than a finely tuned body... except, of course, its unhealthy counterpart. If you haven't quite yet climbed to the peak of fitness, YOU are my chosen audience. You are the miracle waiting to happen. If you are fit-less and frustrated, YOU are MY inspiration.

Why is being overweight, weak, out of breath, and inflexible such a wonderful thing? Why are you a phenomenon because you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or smoke two packs a day? For one, it's amazing what our bodies are able to handle, even if temporarily. This alone is an absolute marvel... at least to me. You are remarkably resilient, regardless of whether your current state of "health" is compromised by years of deconditioning or disease. It takes decades of hard work (and hardly working) to destroy your body. For most of us, that's something to be thankful for.

Now for the true miracle... when you decide to switch gears, it doesn't take decades, years, or even months to change directions. Anything you want to change (facetiously speaking, of course) can change immediately. IMMEDIATELY!!! Decades and decades of neglect and abuse can stop instantaneously. Like it or not, exercise is the answer.

Here is some good news. The worse shape you are in, the faster your results. You don't need to exercise every day (or even every other day). You don't need to exercise for hours (or even an hour) ((or even a half-hour)).

And how about this? While long-term goal setting is great, what if you could see and feel changes this week? How about this very day?

I personally witness ridiculously astounding results all the time.



If performed correctly, exercise will likely:



* Increase your flexibility in seconds
* Lower your blood pressure in minutes
* Stabilize your blood sugar level in hours
* Improve your cardiovascular endurance in days
* Boost the strength of your muscles in less than a week
* Help you drop multiple dress or pant sizes in less than a month


You body is ready when you are. Who are you NOT to exercise???

Don't get suckered into only believing in the long-term lifestyle-change approach to fitness. When I first started working out, I wanted results yesterday. I firmly believe that most people have this mentality regarding health and fitness. It's not the proper perspective, but there is no reason we can't use it to our advantage.

We all need to exercise forever... move it or lose it, right? But you can make a change this instant, and not just a change in your activity or your psychology, but an actual change in your physicality and physiology. I am so thankful that it doesn't take long to make progress. I've seen instant results in thousands of clients. And I've seen them in the mirror.

Which brings me to my next topic. Me! Who am I to tell you anything?

Because this could be the first post you are reading from me, I feel obligated to tell you at least a little bit about my background. Perhaps you can relate to my experience or experiences. Over the past 25 years, I've helped hundreds and thousands of people in our local community, and I am working hard to eventually helping hundreds of thousands and millions of people worldwide.

Going on three decades of personal training experience (yikes!), I know that, along the way, I have already helped you... different body, different brain, same bio. In addition to training every type of person imaginable, and being a physique transformer, I have also had the "pleasure" of being the physique transformee. Whoever you are, and whatever you are dealing with, I can probably relate.

I have "been there and done that" myself, working through situations such as: a broken vertebra, systemic arthritis, an eight-year bout of undiagnosed Lyme Disease, and a head-on collision rollover car accident that broke my body and bruised my brain (for years). Exercise to the rescue!

I hope that helping others, and helping myself, can ultimately help you. I look forward to continuing our journey together, starting tomorrow...

In Health,

Doug Jones :-)

The 2nd Day of the Rest of My Life...

Hi Folks,

So much for working out again today. But I did eat, and I guess that's a good thing. :-)

Seriously, today (and yesterday) was spent in front of a computer literally every waking second...

I set up my brand new blog on WordPress yesterday; switched it to Blogger today. I am recovering from approximately a half-million video views on YouTube over the past few days, and the questions and orders that come with that type of traffic. Yeah!

And, most importantly, I'm just finishing up a series of Special Fitness Reports, which will be hitting the e-waves this weekend. The first is a report on the secrets of training the LOWER ABS!!

So... tomorrow is the 3rd day of the rest of my life and I promise to eat and exercise... in that order.

I'll keep you "posted." :-)

Doug Jones' New Blog: HAPPY NEW REAR!!!

Hello Friends in Fitness,

Welcome to my new blog. :-) I'm speaking to myself, of course, because I haven't a clue on what to write or do. Nonetheless, I think you'll eventually enjoy it. I tend to be an "all in" type of guy so, if this is a way to get my message out to the masses, I'll no doubt work hard at hogging the blogging.

The Doug Jones Blog is tied to www.TheBestWayToExercise.com, which is primarily focused on teaching people The Best Way To Exercise (.com). :-) While my website is a content-rich paid membership-based fitness resource, and my books, DVDs, and special fitness reports are all available for the right price, my blog is going to be free. In fact, it is already. NICE!!

Although I'm sure I will expand and expound on the purpose and message of DougJonesBlog's Blog (and will probably change the name a few times too), my immediate notion is to use this tool to record my own personal exercise and dietary habits... YIKES!!! This could be scary, but I think it will help a lot of people... maybe even YOU!! :-)

Let's start with today:

Exercise: ZERO (My policy is to always start tomorrow, especially on a holiday.)

Diet: FRUIT (My policy is to always eat fruit all day to make up for my guilt-laden gluttony of yesterday. Please realize that I don't drink... and didn't have a drop... but that I ate anything and everything to make up for my non-alcoholic slant. Also keep in mind that is was New Year's Eve.)

That's it for today. Considering I wanted to post this on the 1st, and it's 11:51pm, and I have to figure out which buttons to press next, I'm going to leave you with something to watch. I hope it gives you a little more insight as to who I am and how I can help you learn The Best Way to Exercise.

Have a great day and a great New Year!!

In Health & With Thanks,

Doug Jones
