Well- I think it is definitely worth looking into- don't you? I mean we have all heard "no pain no gain" in the past- who said that anyways? I am wanting to learn more about how our bodies function as a whole- I want to know why I ache and is there something I can do naturally with out pain medications and with out a ton of stuff to take daily? Well learning about my body and how it functions better will help me to better understand and so I am hoping it helps you too.
**When talking about "no pain no gain" -IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU NEED TO FEEL PAIN DURING THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR WORK OUT. On the contrary you should not be exercising at a level of pain ever. Now this does not mean that you may be uncomfortable at times or even feeling discomfort -this is OK.
**Also if you feel you cannot continue a work out or you feel you may pass out or you feel something else that is just not right- then it is too difficult for you and you may increase risk of injury to yourself by being overly exhausted and not being able to handle that kind of work out at the time.
**Don't try to kill yourself with exercise- really work smarter at it not harder ( hence the entire reason for my blog! )
- BACK PAIN- What causes back pain? What should I avoid? What can I do to exercise?
A. Causes: Muscular strains, arthritis, soft tissue injuries, disc disease
B. Avoid exercises like Golf, Tennis, running, bowling, overhead lifting,
leg press machine or anything else that causes it it "hurt more".
C. TRY THESE INSTEAD: walking, stretching, protected ab exercises, swimming,
yoga, Pilate's, and also be sure to wear proper shoes for your sport (they are made that
way for a reason)
2. SHOULDER PAIN-
A. Causes: often caused by impingement- this is when the space between your rotator cuff
muscles and your bone on the top of your shoulder narrows causing pinched tendons
Arthritis and Bursitis can also cause shoulder pain.
B. Avoid: Overhead exercises, past times which could cause a flare up ( painting or
gardening when done for long periods of time)
C. TRY THESE INSTEAD: front shoulder raises instead of overhead presses, and lateral
raises, also stop sports that include large arm movements such as tennis and golf.
3. SHIN SPLINTS-
A. Causes- usually by an increase of running, mileage or intensity, when either walking or
running
B. Avoid: running frequently, especially if in pain, but you don't have to give it up all
together. you can just do it less often or less intense until you can build up to it
C. Try this instead: Cross Training with other cardio exercises like swimming and biking
that do not require repetitive impact.
4. NECK PAIN-
A. Causes: Osteoarthritis, cradling a phone between shoulder and head, degenerated disks,
carrying a heavy bag or purse over one shoulder. poor posture while sitting at a desk.
B. AVOID: some yoga positions (like standing on your head) -haha like i can do that any
way! Also avoid running and other high impact type things that could cause jarring or
pressure on back and neck.
C. Try this instead: walking, cycling, Pilate's and yoga poses that do not require pressure on
your neck or head.
5. PLANTAR FICIITIS
A. Caused by tight calf muscles, foot arch problems and long distance running and can be
caused by sudden eight gain as well.
B. Avoid: Don't change anything other than the fact of hard or harsh impact such as
running.
C. Instead try: an elliptical trainer, or bicycle, -just because these do not cause same stress to
the foot.
6. TWISTED ANKLE-
A. causes: usually by rolling or twisting of ankle in an awkward position- that stretches or
tears the ligaments in the ankle.. - In my case- just clumsy!
B. Avoid: Jogging and running or any other repetitive impact should be avoided for a few
days after the initial injury.
C. try this instead- focus on upper body exercises, or swimming or stationary bike.
7. SWOLLEN KNEE-
A. Causes: tears in the ACL or Meniscus( cartilage behind the knee cap) and most pain
comes from behind the knee cap.
B. Avoid: anything that cause the pain in the knee or behind the knee,
C. Instead try swimming, water aerobics, yoga and Pilate's also do hip exercises such as leg
lifts.

Nature Flex™ with Glucosamine is a proprietary blend of natural ingredients used
to promote joint health. Glucosamine, found naturally in connective tissue and
cartilage, declines as we age putting our joints at risk. Nature Flex helps slow
down cartilage degeneration, rebuilds damaged tissue, and promotes resistance to
swelling, tenderness and stiffness in joints. Use with MSM Complex7™ for best
results.
Glucosamine has most frequently been used to slow down the
cartilage degeneration that causes chronic joint pain. Some studies indicate
that Glucosamine could also help rebuild damaged body tissue.
Manganese,
one of the key Nature Flex™ ingredients, is required for normal bone growth and
repair. In addition, it is used in the formation of cartilage and synovial
(lubricating ) fluid of the joints.
To my surprise there were 5 resistance bands that hook on the door any one of 3 ways to help you with arms legs butt and other types of exercises. The door hook hanger as well this thing just slides behind the door and you attach your resistance bands to it. And then the blue circle- OK this looks funny in this picture but is is placed above my knees and I attempted to do a squat! FORGET THE THIGH MASTER! Whew. Then I reluctantly opened the video this is going to be TOO HARD I mean look at the people on the video... TO MY SURPRISE AGAIN! There are over 100 guided exercises in this 2 pack dvd set! They teach you how to use these. NOW I am serious- why would youi pay a gym membership if you had the opprotunity to take your go any where gym with you? Did I tell you the ball has a foot pump and with it has a thing to help you DEFLATE your ball so you can keep it up and not worry about getting holes in it? 
\Now due to copy right issues I am going to not post the screen shots of what the video says but there are DAILY work outs starting with day one and working your way to a more advanced state. There are work outs showing you how to do every thing and then simpler things you can do as well. This is one of the best things I have seen in a while- I mean some of these exercises have helped me already feel a differenec in ONE time! I use machines at the gym and I use the classes and weights. But this by far is something I see my self and others getting a hold of and keeping for a long time! if you are interested you just need to email Junetta@lovemyace.com and ask for a Saba fit kit!
