Kudos to A Healthy You’ on Fox News!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

One morning on CBS News they were doing the 9 Minute Workout. The 9 Minute Workout isn’t doing one thing for nine minutes, it’s doing nine things for one minute. It’s high intensity interval training.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two years ago I invited Tony Greco to come on my show on Fox News to do our version of the 9 Minute Workout with several one minute exercises. It was one of the most popular segments we had on the show for exercise: we did belly dancing, we did Zumba, we did all kinds of newfangled exercises, even Yoga. <\/span><\/p>\n

But the most popular segment was the 1 Minute Workout. We called it the 1 Minute Workout because each move you did, you did intensely for one minute with 30 seconds off in between. For me, that’s enough to take a drink of tea in between! And that makes me very happy. <\/span><\/p>\n

I find at this age I need to do things during my workout that make me happy. So, I work out one minute doing a Burpee, for example, (and yes Gayle King, the Burpee is an important part of the workout series as much as I know you hate them!) and then I go to the window to make sure my cats haven’t fallen off the ledge! LOL. (No worries, I’m on the first floor!) Then I do sit ups, and then I take a sip of tea. So I begin to enjoy my workouts a little bit more.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can see the 9 Minute Workout on the New York Times website under Dr. Metzl’s 9 Minute Workout.’ Or you can go to FOXNews.com<\/a> and watch Tony Greco do it on my show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, we talk about how exercise – especially for older people – helps prolong life. It helps cellular regeneration, thereby keeping you younger. Researchers at Penn State say older Americans who biweekly strength train lower the death rate by 46%! And when I say strength train, I don’t mean you have to lift weights. You can lift water bottles, for example, as with squats you can just lift your own bodyweight. Or in my case, I hold onto my cat LOL! Do I love my cats or what? I told you I do things to make myself happy while working out<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t forget, working out helps to prevent heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. I don’t know about you, but I need all the help I can get to stay healthy. Make sure you do your squats (good for hips and knees), planks (which protects the spine), and Burpees (which strengthens the whole, total body!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Come on – you can work out for a minute at a time. The minute you start, the minute you start feeling younger, getting healthy, and building your energy. Enjoy!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
