10 . the catoctin banner . August 2010 . www.thecatoctinbanner.com Take Advantage of Summer’s longer Days to launch Your Walking or Running Program The longer days of summer are a great time to launch a walking or running program. Both are excellent exercise, with virtually no equipment costs other than a pair of supportive shoes. “By starting now, you can experience the fresh air and scenic diversity of outdoor exercise, and get into a fitness routine before cold and icy weather strikes,” says Michael Johnston, P.T., with Amber Hill Physical Therapy. Amber Hill, which is celebrating its 25th year in business, has offices in Frederick, Thurmont, Jefferson and Damascus. An avid fitness enthusiast, Mr. Johnston offers these tips to minimize the toll walking and running may take on the lower part of the body, especially the feet: • Stretch before and after exercising. Stretching is crucial to protecting your body from the rigors of the road. It also reduces muscle soreness after running and can improve your athletic performance. • Begin slowly and increase distance and speed gradually over time. • The right running surface is key to preventing injuries. Avoid hard surfaces and too many hills. • React to pain immediately; rest and use ice. Ignoring discomfort only leads to chronic conditions. • Treat redness and blisters immediately. • Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate—water feeds the joints and muscles, in addition to quenching your thirst. Although walking puts less impact on bones and joints, it provides many of the same health benefits as running: Both walking and running will: • Burn calories with each step, • Strengthen back muscles, • Increase bone mass, • Lower blood pressure and cut cholesterol, • Reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes, • Lower stress levels, and • Improve your mood and sense of well-being. Vary your landscape to stay motivated. Location can make a huge difference in keeping you motivated. Save the treadmill for colder weather and get out and enjoy the many scenic areas and trails that Maryland offers. Discover new scenic routes by visiting www.mapmyrun.com. This simple and unique Web site offers pre-planned routes or allows you to create your own based on location, distance or type of walk or run.

Definitely! It’s like refueling your body for a new day. After all, would you expect your car to run with no fuel? And, neither does your body perform without fuel! You’ll miss out on important health benefits when you skip breakfast. A healthy breakfast jumpstarts your day and may even benefit your overall healthiness. When eating a healthy breakfast, you’re more likely to: eat less fat and cholesterol; eat more vitamin- and mineral-enriched foods; have improved productivity and concentration; and have a handle on controlling your weight. If you’re thinking skipping breakfast will help you lose some unwanted pounds, think again. For children and adolescents it is especially beneficial to eat breakfast. According to the American Dietetic Association, children who eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to have better problem-solving skills, concentrate better and be more alert, have better hand-eye coordination, be more physically active and probably miss fewer days of school. What counts as a healthy breakfast? The core of a healthy breakfast is whole grains, low-fat protein and dairy, and fruits and vegetables. You’re getting complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein and a small amount of fat. It leaves you feeling full for hours and is nutritional. When choosing cereal, it is important to read the nutrition label and ingredient list. Remember a serving size is 3/4 to 1 cup. Try to select one with 3-5 grams of fiber and with less than 13 grams of sugar. Calories should be 120 or less if you’re counting them. Add fresh fruit and low-fat milk. Finding the time for breakfast is usually the reason families skip this important meal. Perhaps the night before you can decide what you’ll have. Measure and prepare ahead of time what you can. For example, oatmeal takes less than a minute by microwave. Yours truly bakes waffles and freezes the leftovers for another day. Just heat and serve with fresh fruit. By keeping the breakfast basics in mind can help set you up for healthier eating all day long. Remember good health begins with the small decisions we make each day.
