International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, 25 November By resolution 54/134 of 17 December 1999, the United Nations General Assembly designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and invited governments, international organizations and NGOs to organize activities designed to raise public awareness of the problem on that day. Women's activists have marked 25 November as a day against violence since 1981. This date came from the brutal assassination in 1960, of the three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, on orders of Dominican ruler Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961). On 20 December 1993 the General Assembly, by resolution 48/104, adopted the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women. "Millions of women and girls around the world are assaulted, beaten, raped, mutilated or even murdered in what constitutes appalling violations of their human rights. [...] We must fundamentally challenge the culture of discrimination that allows violence to continue. On this International Day, I call on all governments to make good on their pledges to end all forms of violence against women and girls in all parts of the world, and I urge all people to support this important goal." Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Message for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women 1. November 2012 http://www.un.org/en/events/endviolenceday/index.shtml

KNOW ABOUT YOUR BONES

Babies have more bones than adults.

Babies are born with about 300 bones.  Adults have 206. As babies grow, some of their bones fuse together. Some infant bones are made entirely of soft, flexible tissue called cartilage that’s slowly replaced by hard bone as the baby develops.


Your funny bone is in your:

Even though it’s really connected to your upper arm bone (the humerus), you may not find hitting your funny bone a laughing matter. If you’ve ever hit your elbow in that certain spot, you know it can cause a weird tingling or a dull pain. But never mind the name -- your funny bone isn’t a bone at all. It’s a nerve that runs down the humerus to the inside part of your elbow.

When do bones stop growing?

Bones usually stop growing when you're in your late 20s, but they keep changing. As you age, bones lose density and get thinner and easier to break. You can help keep them healthy by getting plenty of calcium and vitamin D, and by doing exercises that keep you on your feet.

 

Bones make red and white blood cells.

Bones have a few different jobs. They give our bodies structure and allow us to move. They protect our organs from damage -- your skull protects your brain and your ribs protect your heart, lungs, and liver. Your bones also make red blood cells, which carry proteins and oxygen to tissues, and white blood cells, which help fight infections.


Which bone gets broken the most often?   

The clavicle, better known as the collar bone, leads the list of breaks. It can be easily fractured by hits to the shoulder or by falling on your hand or arm. Breaks in the hands and arms are common as well, because we often use them to try and stop falls.

The bubbles in soft drinks harm your bones.

Let's put this old wives’ tale to rest. The bubbly carbonation in soft drinks won’t hurt your bones, but that doesn’t mean drinking soda is a good idea. Some studies show that the caffeine and phosphorus in colas can weaken your bones. If you want to drink something good for your bones, choose milk or a beverage with extra calcium, like fortified orange juice.

How many bones in your body are not connected to other bones?

Remember a song called “Dem Bones?” That old tune might have helped you remember that the leg bone is connected to the knee bone. But it sure didn’t mention the hyoid, a V-shaped bone at the base of your tongue. The hyoid is the only bone that isn’t connected to another one.


Is smoking bad for your bones?

It’s well known that cigarettes are bad for your lungs, heart, and overall health. But they’re also bad for your bones. Nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes make it harder for your body to absorb the calcium your bones need to stay strong. Cigarettes lower vitamin D levels, too.

Hi All,

I'd like to thank Mr. Sushant Sehgal to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows:

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry?

Fitness is my passion. When I was in college I use to go for workouts in various gyms to know more about fitness. Then I started using those techniques taught to me by my trainers and used some variations in it. Then I thought it's better to come in this field, so that I can take my passion to a new level.

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional?

I'm a physiotherapist and then I did diploma in yoga. Then when I decided to come in this field I applied and cleared my ACE exam. So my speciality is physiocare plus yoga along with fitness training. I prefer pilates and functional training more than weight training.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

My advice is to be patient and results wil come automatically.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

Workout should be according to the needs and physical abilities of the member. Same workout is not recommended to all the people. As body type of each individual is different.

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

My goal is to see myself, as an international fitness trainer.

Yesterday evening, the person who opens/closes the gym told me that I lift the most weight there. I told him that I'm a small guy and that there are so many much bigger people and also great bodybuilders and that I wish that I can keep improving lifelong. Then I searched for videos on Kashmir given the highly unfortunate current issue. Besides other videos, I also watched Defending the LoC Part-1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apddqw6Ks4g, Part-2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp2idHxTErM and Part-3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C74MR9g2R0c. Salute to Sipahi (Soldier) who laughs off the fear to protect me. This salute is to all Sipahis worldwide who protect humans. Imagine a world in which all such soldiers unite against those disregarding the universal human values.

After these videos, I read a spiritual article (I usually read an article at night with dad who generally gives it from one of the books). It was about mann (mind) and that it has ichcha-shakti (power to desire) and sankalp-shakti (power of intention). I've thought of several times to also go to gym in the morning for doing cardio since I lift weights during evening. I went to gym once in the morning some days ago the day after I reactivated the Health and Fitness India site http://www.healthfitnessindia.com. I reactivated it sooner than I had thought thinking that if we can't be healthy and fit then our heads might not remain in the proper place for long. Given current events, things seem very unfortunate in India and that being much healthier and fitter should help us do much better.

Today morning, I woke up without any alarm and that when I saw the time it was few minutes before 7am and that the gym in my apartment complex opens at 7am. However, I felt that I hadn't recovered from yesterday evening's workout well enough. I've to speed up recovery with nutrition products. For some months, I'm regularly eating eggs, often kala chana (bengal gram), sometimes soya and then lentils, oats, milk and other veg. food as protein sources. So I rested for another hour and half and then went to gym.

A different person opens/closes the gym in the morning. I spoke to him in general and that when I asked his name, he said Manveer! (Man here stands for Mind and Veer for Brave). He said that he wants to do business after some years. I told him that he can start today by selling imported and affordable anti pollution mask made using Defense technology which will be a great service to society and he can also earn well on the side. He told me to show it to him which I would. I wish that all of us can keep improving our society and environment worldwide. Best!

Hi All,

I'd like to thank Ms. Ruth G to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows:

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry?

I entered the fitness industry because I always felt lethargic and dull and suffered from a lot of aches and pains as I was a very inactive person in my childhood. Due to which I was overweight, so when I started going to the Gym I felt very charged whenever I attended my aerobics class, leading to which I really lost a lot of weight. Here I realized I could be a part of the then new, growing fitness industry in 1996 and so here I am 16 years down the line, still actively involved in this Industry.

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional?

I pride myself to be able to convince women not to treat their bodies badly by starving to lose weight. But I help them understand that to lose weight we have to feed our bodies with the right nutrients and hydrate regularly and I'm happy to say I've convinced most of my clients to eat regular, frequent meals.

My specialties as an instructor is I'm a certified Personal trainer and Aerobics Instructor and I have my current First Aid and CPR certification which empowers me to be be able to handle any unexpected situation while training clients. I specialize in PIYOLET classes which is a fusion of Pilates, Yoga and Ballet conditioning, Step aerobics, Kickboxing, Aerobics, Power yoga and Boot camp workouts were also my specialties until I got hooked on to Zumba fitness. Im also a Marketing Agent for Zumba in India. Soon I'm also going to restart taking PIYOLET classes in the near future.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

I feel you live this life only once so it's best to live a quality life by eating moderately, not necessary to restrict yourself. Workout regularly, and stop crash dieting!! If you can eat everything moderately and have a pretty stable lifestyle it won't be difficult to maintain a good body weight and live an illness and ailment free life. I promise you life is worth loving because when you have no illnesses to worry about you can enjoy a great life.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

Only one word, Overconfidence!!! Instructors treat everyone the same like some army boot camp, we have to realize that everyone has unique body structures, metabolism, stresses etc. We are in this industry to help people get healthy so its our responsibility to see to it that we equip ourselves well enough to offer injury free workouts which can take a client through the stages of fitness slowly but successfully so that progress is ensured.

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

5 years down the line i see myself mentoring new Group fitness Instructors to become active, responsible Instructors. I also hope to see every citizen fit enough to actively play with their grandchildren even at a very old age.

10 yrs down the line I see myself opening an academy for serious fitness professionals in India.

Agility Chutes for Agility Training

For most track and field event, agility is a quality that you compulsorily need to possess. Without proper agility in your body, it would be very difficult to compete in any athletic sport. Resistance training is one of the best ways to improve agility. Speed and agility movement cannot be easily acquired. It takes a lot of time and effort to acquire proper agility and movement. It requires your muscles to be flexible and your reaction time to be high.

Some people are born naturally agile but some acquire it through hard work. However it is important to remember that the right way to achieve agility would be through resistance training that develops the strength of the entire body.

Agility Ring Set

There are many training programs that aim to strengthen the feet and the calves. However this does not contribute to total agility. Yes this would make your faster. However being faster does not mean you will be more agile. True agility comes from the reaction time and the response of the nervous system. This means you have to ensure that your body is in total sync with your movements for you to be totally agile.

There are various methods that you can work out to incorporate the whole body into agility training. You should make sure that while you do your agility training, the speed comes from your hips and not just your feet. Your hips and your abs are the muscle centers of your body. Therefore you should make sure that you derive power out of these areas and not just your feet or your arms.

Goals ... Are they for you or somebody else?

Last night I was teaching my normal kid's class in a small gym not far from my home. Sometime during the class, there was a girl who looked at me with an "amazed" look & said "Your belt is black!!!". To her I responded "Yep, several times over" & walked toward her.

Now... let me stop here to clarify things. First it's not a belt, but a silk sash with a red tassel on the ends. It was my teacher's & he gave it to me when he retired, unfortunately too recently in my book. Now, the fact it's black with a red tassel means exactly... nothing. It just so happens it's the colors of his school. His was black & red. We as students wore red sashes with black tassels. This was simply discern to the public, who was the teacher & who wasn't. In that vein of thought, in traditional Chinese martial arts, there are no "belts" to signify rank or anything like that. That is originally a Japanese creation by Kano Jigoro, founder of Judo.

Now it has been run marvelously amok by the Western mind & sense of need for visual accomplishment, especially with parents & their kids in a class. As I previously stated, we wore sashes the colors of the school. I knew who the students senior to me were & the students junior to me as well. We ALL knew who the teacher was immediately on walking in the school on the first day.

When I was "promoted" to a teacher's level, it was over the phone with my teacher. It was him making sure my students addressed me appropriately. I thought to myself after the call ... "I made it!!". A goal was reached & a new level to work on & at.

But now... who was that goal for? Me? My students? My peers?

Back to last night... As I walked toward I started untying my sash. I wrapped it about 3 times around her waist & tied it off. I looked at her half grinning & said "Now you're a black sash too!! Get back to working on your kicks..." and left the sash on her for the rest of the class. After I dismissed the class for the evening & she came of to return my sash, I asked if it made a difference & helped her learn any faster or better. She grinned & said no. She left with a grin & the other kids were giggling at her for wearing my sash.

Those "goals" we all set... are they truly for ourselves or are they subconsciously for everybody else around us to see us "reach a level".

Achieved goals are for everybody else. Goals are for people to view your progress. Your own personal progress should be just simply continue the forward progress in a given area. As an example, you achieve a PhD in a field. That PhD says you have reached a level in "X" to the public. To you that means you have continued on a road that you intended to go down anyway. You may take pride in knowing you have achieved it & rightfully so along with professional recognition & reward, but truly who notices?

Goals are great. Levels are great. Keep your self in check & keep going own that path. Your reward is personal success in continuing the journey. The people around you benefit from your knowledge & experience. Encourage them down your path, guide them on the way, enjoy watching them grow as you once did, now as a mentor rather than novice.

Tie your black belt & move along. It makes it easy for everybody else.
