Okay, I still have a problem.
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.35
I'm not eating past six.
00:00:03.38\00:00:05.59
I'm reading labels
trying to lose weight,
00:00:05.62\00:00:08.31
I'm not consuming any
liquid fat or soft drinks,
00:00:08.34\00:00:11.97
but the weight is
still slowly coming off.
00:00:12.00\00:00:14.89
Today's program
maybe entitled is,
00:00:14.92\00:00:17.08
"What you need walking with
Paula." We'll be right back.
00:00:17.11\00:00:21.32
Hi, welcome to Abundant Living.
00:00:52.22\00:00:54.01
This is Curtis Eakins and
this is my beautiful bride
00:00:54.04\00:00:57.97
of 13 glorious
years, Paula Eakins.
00:00:58.00\00:01:01.14
Paula Eakins and it's
called walking with Paula.
00:01:01.17\00:01:03.93
Walking with me.
00:01:03.96\00:01:05.33
Walking with Paula. Walking
with me, walking with me.
00:01:05.36\00:01:07.16
Oh, walking with
anybody, okay. Okay, right.
00:01:07.19\00:01:08.93
Well, physical
activity. Physical activity.
00:01:08.96\00:01:11.18
'Cause you know, we don't
use the word exercise anymore.
00:01:11.21\00:01:14.47
That's a lot of
blood, and sweat, and tears.
00:01:14.50\00:01:16.64
And so, let's do
some physical activity,
00:01:16.67\00:01:19.14
but today's program is
entitled, walking with Paula.
00:01:19.17\00:01:22.45
We'll get more into that
later on in today's program,
00:01:22.48\00:01:24.74
but again dealing with
the winning weigh series
00:01:24.77\00:01:27.93
and this is one of the
last series of this program.
00:01:27.96\00:01:31.82
And so, walking with
Paula is very important
00:01:31.85\00:01:33.71
that people need to
also include some type of
00:01:33.74\00:01:37.49
physical activity
into their daily routine.
00:01:37.52\00:01:40.08
Speaking about
walking with Paula,
00:01:40.11\00:01:41.50
I was wondering, does the Bible
00:01:41.53\00:01:43.36
have anything
about walking also?
00:01:43.39\00:01:45.61
Well, about walking
or exercise in general?
00:01:45.64\00:01:47.73
Yes. Well, the Bible has
a lot to say about exercise,
00:01:47.76\00:01:50.40
it really does, folks.
00:01:50.43\00:01:51.80
And again, we're using God's
word as the standard of truth.
00:01:51.83\00:01:55.38
And health is without exception.
00:01:55.41\00:01:57.90
Exercise is without exception.
00:01:57.93\00:02:01.33
First Timothy 4 verse
7, the Bible says that,
00:02:01.36\00:02:04.81
"We should exercise Godliness."
00:02:04.84\00:02:09.48
And if a person
just exercised Godliness
00:02:09.51\00:02:11.29
and this would be great,
I mean, exercise Godliness.
00:02:11.32\00:02:14.72
So doing things that
are the attributes of God,
00:02:14.75\00:02:18.67
well, God is kind and
He's gentle, and He's merciful.
00:02:18.70\00:02:22.56
So if we exercise Godliness,
00:02:22.59\00:02:24.94
this would be a
wonderful world to live in.
00:02:24.97\00:02:26.77
What do you say,
honey? Absolutely, absolutely.
00:02:26.80\00:02:28.31
Well, not only
that, but Jeremiah 9:24,
00:02:28.34\00:02:31.71
the Bible also
says, we should exercise
00:02:31.74\00:02:35.56
with love and kindness.
00:02:35.59\00:02:37.46
Well, now that's another
good exercise we should do,
00:02:37.49\00:02:39.22
what do you think, honey?
I mean, anybody can do that.
00:02:39.25\00:02:40.85
Absolutely,
absolutely, probably...
00:02:40.88\00:02:42.25
So we exercise loving kindness,
00:02:42.28\00:02:44.08
that also would be a
nice world to live in,
00:02:44.11\00:02:46.87
to be kind, and to be
gentle with one another.
00:02:46.90\00:02:49.91
All right. Now also
the Bible emphasizing
00:02:49.94\00:02:52.39
that we should also
exercise Hebrews 5:14
00:02:52.42\00:02:56.34
to discern good from evil,
00:02:56.37\00:03:00.42
and it's always
good to exercise that.
00:03:00.45\00:03:01.98
Definitely. So we know what's
right from wrong, exercise...
00:03:02.01\00:03:05.08
So the Bible has a
lot say about exercise,
00:03:05.11\00:03:09.01
but you maybe thinking
about another type of exercise,
00:03:09.04\00:03:11.83
the spiritual exercise.
00:03:11.86\00:03:13.51
What about physical exercise?
00:03:13.54\00:03:16.26
Well, let's go
to our first graphic
00:03:16.29\00:03:17.66
and let's see what
the Bible have to say
00:03:17.69\00:03:19.06
about physical
exercise. Here it is, folks.
00:03:19.09\00:03:22.19
This is God's way,
Genesis 2 verse 15.
00:03:22.22\00:03:25.66
The Bible says, "The
Lord God took the man
00:03:25.69\00:03:29.68
and put him in the
Garden of Eden to work it
00:03:29.71\00:03:34.30
and take care of it."
00:03:34.33\00:03:36.84
Now again, as God
made our first parents,
00:03:36.87\00:03:39.82
Adam and Eve, He put
them in the Garden of Eden.
00:03:39.85\00:03:42.94
The Bible says, to work
it and to take care of it.
00:03:42.97\00:03:47.78
So that means that we are
designed by God the Creator,
00:03:47.81\00:03:52.19
to engage our bodies in
some type of physical activity.
00:03:52.22\00:03:56.81
To work the Garden of
Eden and to work it now,
00:03:56.84\00:03:59.32
doesn't mean that
they had rototillering
00:03:59.35\00:04:01.30
and you know, the
plow, 'cause they didn't have
00:04:01.33\00:04:03.62
those tools back then.
00:04:03.65\00:04:05.02
But I think one of writers
said that they had to use
00:04:05.05\00:04:08.88
their physical
abilities to train
00:04:08.91\00:04:11.68
the vines and the branches.
00:04:11.71\00:04:13.30
And so they really
had to work the garden,
00:04:13.33\00:04:16.03
so they were engaged
outdoor physical activity.
00:04:16.06\00:04:19.93
So we're designd to do
that, and that's God's way.
00:04:19.96\00:04:22.66
What is the best exercise?
What is the best exercise?
00:04:22.69\00:04:27.81
Well, we have a graphic,
but before we go to our graphic,
00:04:27.84\00:04:30.94
let me just first preference
this particular author.
00:04:30.97\00:04:33.52
And we mentioned
this author before.
00:04:33.55\00:04:35.86
This author is the
most translated author
00:04:35.89\00:04:38.81
in the United States,
00:04:38.84\00:04:40.27
according to the
Library of Congress.
00:04:40.30\00:04:42.62
And also now the
second in the world.
00:04:42.65\00:04:45.49
And this author's wrote,
00:04:45.52\00:04:47.00
written many volumes on health.
00:04:47.03\00:04:49.74
Exercise is without exception.
00:04:49.77\00:04:53.96
And here is what this author
says about the best exercise.
00:04:53.99\00:04:57.02
So let's look at
this next graphic,
00:04:57.05\00:04:58.97
this will be profound.
00:04:59.00\00:05:00.43
Number 1, here it
is, "There is no exercise
00:05:00.46\00:05:06.76
that can take the place of,
there it is, honey, walking"
00:05:06.79\00:05:12.55
Now, of course, I know there
is a lot of people out there
00:05:12.58\00:05:16.84
who are the
runners and the joggers.
00:05:16.87\00:05:19.04
They have, well wait a
minute, now all those who swim
00:05:19.07\00:05:21.59
and those who do bicycling,
okay. And that's good.
00:05:21.62\00:05:24.53
Don't forget golfing.
00:05:24.56\00:05:25.93
And golfing, okay.
00:05:25.96\00:05:27.33
Now that's if
you walk the 18 holes
00:05:27.36\00:05:28.83
instead of going
into the buggy, okay.
00:05:28.86\00:05:31.63
So my brother's walking
the 18 holes, he loves to golf.
00:05:31.66\00:05:34.77
Right. But this
inspired author says that,
00:05:34.80\00:05:39.49
there is nothing that can
take the place of walking.
00:05:39.52\00:05:44.93
For those who can't walk,
let's include that as well.
00:05:44.96\00:05:48.14
And why is that? When we walk,
00:05:48.17\00:05:51.89
our whole body is
engaged in some type of activity
00:05:51.92\00:05:55.61
because the legs are moving,
00:05:55.64\00:05:57.68
the arms are moving as well.
00:05:57.71\00:05:59.19
And also by walking we
also exercise internal organs.
00:05:59.22\00:06:03.66
Now again when we walk,
00:06:03.69\00:06:06.36
And of course, we walk as well,
00:06:06.39\00:06:07.76
we go morning to what
you do with your program,
00:06:07.79\00:06:10.65
but again, speed
walking is even better
00:06:10.68\00:06:13.27
than just brisk or just
strolling down the parks.
00:06:13.30\00:06:16.50
So but again
walking is the best exercise
00:06:16.53\00:06:19.28
according to this author.
00:06:19.31\00:06:20.68
So we're
emphasizing walking for those
00:06:20.71\00:06:22.99
who can walk would be
the number one exercise.
00:06:23.02\00:06:26.06
Now there is a national
exercise registry out there.
00:06:26.09\00:06:28.94
And they talk
about exercise as well,
00:06:28.97\00:06:31.27
talk to us a
little bit about that.
00:06:31.30\00:06:32.84
Yeah, and we
mentioned this before,
00:06:32.87\00:06:34.44
this called a National
Weight Control Registry.
00:06:34.47\00:06:37.48
And again let's
mentioned this again,
00:06:37.51\00:06:39.18
you just type in those words
00:06:39.21\00:06:40.58
and a Google
search on the Internet
00:06:40.61\00:06:42.15
you'll come up with it.
00:06:42.18\00:06:43.55
And now to be a
part of this registry,
00:06:43.58\00:06:46.84
you have to lose
at least 30 pounds
00:06:46.87\00:06:50.74
and keeping it off
for at least one year,
00:06:50.77\00:06:53.86
then you can be a
member of this registry.
00:06:53.89\00:06:56.10
Now the average
person have lost 70 pounds
00:06:56.13\00:06:59.46
and keep it off for six years.
00:06:59.49\00:07:01.49
But to be a
member lose 30 pounds,
00:07:01.52\00:07:02.99
keep off for one year.
00:07:03.02\00:07:04.39
Now, if you lose 30 pounds
00:07:04.42\00:07:06.23
and let's say
you lost 35 pounds,
00:07:06.26\00:07:09.81
you gained 5 pounds back,
00:07:09.84\00:07:12.29
you'd still be a
member 'cause you still have
00:07:12.32\00:07:13.78
lost overall 30 pounds in a
course of a 12 months period.
00:07:13.81\00:07:17.68
Now the people in this registry,
00:07:17.71\00:07:20.15
going with the winners now.
00:07:20.18\00:07:22.65
The number one
exercise that these people
00:07:22.68\00:07:25.36
engaged in was walking.
00:07:25.39\00:07:28.46
Now some did bicycling,
some did aerobic dancing,
00:07:28.49\00:07:32.61
but the number one
exercise that these people
00:07:32.64\00:07:34.67
and they burned on an
average 2,800 calories a week.
00:07:34.70\00:07:42.58
Wow! All right.
00:07:42.61\00:07:43.98
So this is going
with the winners.
00:07:44.01\00:07:45.47
This is what people have
done in this registry thereby
00:07:45.50\00:07:48.84
we want to emphasize
walking would be number one.
00:07:48.87\00:07:51.49
For those who can walk that's
the best exercise out there.
00:07:51.52\00:07:54.85
And why is that
important in weight loss?
00:07:54.88\00:07:57.06
Well, now walking
does a lot of things
00:07:57.09\00:07:59.12
for weight
management, weight loss,
00:07:59.15\00:08:00.52
having to try to
shink those fat cells.
00:08:00.55\00:08:02.35
Number one, walking
increases ones metabolism.
00:08:02.38\00:08:06.15
Again, the faster you
walk, the harder metabolism.
00:08:06.18\00:08:08.83
Well, just get out
there and just start walking,
00:08:08.86\00:08:11.27
some type of walking program.
00:08:11.30\00:08:13.33
It does that. Number two,
00:08:13.36\00:08:14.73
walking also helps
to aid in digestion.
00:08:14.76\00:08:18.76
This is something that a
lot of people may not understand
00:08:18.79\00:08:21.66
or may not even be aware
of, it also aids in digestion.
00:08:21.69\00:08:24.90
Particularly after
we have eaten a meal.
00:08:24.93\00:08:27.37
Number three, walking
also have to eliminate waste
00:08:27.40\00:08:29.64
in toxins from the
system that also can add weight
00:08:29.67\00:08:32.25
to the body as well.
00:08:32.28\00:08:33.65
So walking, brisk
walking in particular can have
00:08:33.68\00:08:37.06
some very profound
effects on weight management
00:08:37.09\00:08:40.12
and to shrink those fat cells.
00:08:40.15\00:08:43.10
Well, now there are some people
00:08:43.13\00:08:44.50
out there saying Curtis.
00:08:44.53\00:08:45.90
First of all, I'm
just too old too walk.
00:08:45.93\00:08:47.69
Too old to walk. And
I'm too tired to walk.
00:08:47.72\00:08:49.97
Too tired to walk.
00:08:50.00\00:08:51.37
So how do you
address the individual
00:08:51.40\00:08:53.01
that's sitting there thinking
and watching this program
00:08:53.04\00:08:54.94
and saying, he is
not talking to me.
00:08:54.97\00:08:56.94
No, he is not.
No, we're not talking.
00:08:56.97\00:08:58.50
You're talking about
somebody next door to you.
00:08:58.53\00:09:00.41
Yep. Now if
you're too tired to walk,
00:09:00.44\00:09:02.52
that maybe an
idea for you to walk.
00:09:02.55\00:09:05.38
Absolutely.
Because when you walk
00:09:05.41\00:09:06.88
you're less
tired, it's a catch 22,
00:09:06.91\00:09:08.91
but just stay
with me on this one.
00:09:08.94\00:09:10.39
Yes, yes...
00:09:10.42\00:09:11.79
Now let me do some
personal experiences here.
00:09:11.82\00:09:13.33
Now my mother, we play tennis.
00:09:13.36\00:09:17.64
Now when I say
tennis, we play tennis,
00:09:17.67\00:09:19.98
we don't just hit the ball
over the net one or two times,
00:09:20.01\00:09:22.77
sit down and drink ice tea.
00:09:22.80\00:09:24.39
All right, or have
water, whatever the case maybe.
00:09:24.42\00:09:27.62
I mean, we workup a sweat.
00:09:27.65\00:09:29.72
That's my mother and
we play tennis quite often
00:09:29.75\00:09:32.12
not more than I
should, but we're pretty way
00:09:32.15\00:09:36.19
out there at
least an hour or so.
00:09:36.22\00:09:37.59
Plays quite a bit
and play quite about.
00:09:37.62\00:09:39.72
Yeah, now that's my mother. Yes.
00:09:39.75\00:09:41.12
Now my grandmother. Now she
also has an exercise program.
00:09:41.15\00:09:49.56
Yeah. And in her garage,
00:09:49.59\00:09:52.12
she has a workout
station where she has a machine
00:09:52.15\00:09:55.15
that does her ab work.
00:09:55.18\00:09:56.93
She is trying to
work on a six pack.
00:09:56.96\00:09:58.61
And we're not
talking about poolside,
00:09:58.64\00:10:00.01
but you know,
you got three muscles
00:10:00.04\00:10:01.41
on the inside of
her abdominal wall.
00:10:01.44\00:10:03.64
And she does that, and
then she goes and rotates
00:10:03.67\00:10:06.02
to the treadmill,
she's on that for a while.
00:10:06.05\00:10:09.66
And then she does the
bicycling and then she gets
00:10:09.69\00:10:12.77
the two pound
weights and lifts them up.
00:10:12.80\00:10:15.46
Yes, she does.
From time to time.
00:10:15.49\00:10:16.86
Yes, she does.
00:10:16.89\00:10:18.26
And then on the
outside of course,
00:10:18.29\00:10:19.66
she walks up and
down the street as well.
00:10:19.69\00:10:21.06
Oh, I failed to
mention, the age of my mother,
00:10:21.09\00:10:23.35
sorry mama, I
will tell your age so,
00:10:23.38\00:10:25.23
you know, get over it.
00:10:25.26\00:10:26.63
But, she's 77, my
grandmother according
00:10:26.66\00:10:31.43
to the time of
this program is 100.
00:10:31.46\00:10:34.74
One hundred. All right.
00:10:34.77\00:10:36.14
And she is still pumping iron.
00:10:36.17\00:10:38.87
All right, so
again, it's too old
00:10:38.90\00:10:41.25
and it's not
just weight management
00:10:41.28\00:10:42.65
because both of these
ladies, my mom and grandmother,
00:10:42.68\00:10:44.34
they're not overweight.
00:10:44.37\00:10:45.74
But the point is that,
the muscles also attach
00:10:45.77\00:10:48.55
to the skeletal system.
00:10:48.58\00:10:50.57
Therefore, it
strengthens the body because my,
00:10:50.60\00:10:52.52
I've a picture of my grandmother
00:10:52.55\00:10:53.92
actually having a mallet,
00:10:53.95\00:10:56.53
lifting it up and
splitting logs, okay.
00:10:56.56\00:10:59.52
so therefore she
does a lot of manual labor
00:10:59.55\00:11:02.11
in her area outside of her home.
00:11:02.14\00:11:05.26
Therefore it strengthens
her whole total system as well.
00:11:05.29\00:11:08.39
Not just weight management,
00:11:08.42\00:11:09.79
but also to
increase her independence
00:11:09.82\00:11:12.50
and her strength and also
she feel less tired as well.
00:11:12.53\00:11:16.46
So again you're not
too old to anything, folks.
00:11:16.49\00:11:19.51
Just get out
there and start doing
00:11:19.54\00:11:20.91
something that you enjoy.
00:11:20.94\00:11:22.32
Seriously, she is quite a lady,
00:11:22.35\00:11:23.82
100th birthday and she
was as, we had all that.
00:11:23.85\00:11:26.26
On her birthday party
we had all the graphics
00:11:26.29\00:11:28.01
and everything to talk about
what was going on with her.
00:11:28.04\00:11:29.69
And she really is the person
that encourages all of us.
00:11:29.72\00:11:32.14
That's right. If
you think about the fact
00:11:32.17\00:11:33.54
that she is at a 100 exercising.
00:11:33.57\00:11:35.01
We surely need to
be doing something.
00:11:35.04\00:11:36.73
She showed me a box,
when I was just a young guy,
00:11:36.76\00:11:39.68
I guess a few years ago
00:11:39.71\00:11:41.46
and that would be
over 40, about 45 years.
00:11:41.49\00:11:43.92
She purchased a box,
00:11:43.95\00:11:46.64
a kit that had a
pulley from Jack LaLanne,
00:11:46.67\00:11:49.99
now those who are
probably under 30,
00:11:50.02\00:11:51.96
probably don't know
who Jack LaLanne is,
00:11:51.99\00:11:53.64
but he is a
exercise person, guru.
00:11:53.67\00:11:55.98
Guru. And she
still has the same box
00:11:56.01\00:11:59.30
that she
purchased at pottery farm.
00:11:59.33\00:12:01.49
And she still uses
that pulley system,
00:12:01.52\00:12:04.10
over 45 years old.
So again it's not never
00:12:04.13\00:12:07.02
too late to
exercise. Now what about you?
00:12:07.05\00:12:09.10
Let's do some
personal experiences with you,
00:12:09.13\00:12:11.03
honey, about exercise program.
00:12:11.06\00:12:12.43
And you're on a unique program,
00:12:12.46\00:12:14.97
that you've been
part of for 7 or 8 years.
00:12:15.00\00:12:17.44
Isn't that right, honey?
00:12:17.47\00:12:18.84
Yes, as a matter of fact
I've been always a walker.
00:12:18.87\00:12:21.09
But this particular
program I enjoyed because,
00:12:21.12\00:12:23.15
I was on a airplane
and USA Today had put a big
00:12:23.18\00:12:26.09
article out there,
the whole front page
00:12:26.12\00:12:27.83
had a woman
walking, it was talking about
00:12:27.86\00:12:30.28
the obesity factor in America
00:12:30.31\00:12:31.76
and how we, the
exercise was not going on.
00:12:31.79\00:12:34.46
And I got to
reading it and it very,
00:12:34.49\00:12:36.17
very small caption at bottom
of the paper was a website.
00:12:36.20\00:12:40.56
Okay. americaonthemove.org
00:12:40.59\00:12:44.63
So let's do that again,
americaonthemove.org. Okay.
00:12:44.66\00:12:51.57
And I said, when I get home,
00:12:51.60\00:12:52.97
I'm gonna
actually go to the website
00:12:53.00\00:12:54.37
and see if anything is there.
00:12:54.40\00:12:55.77
Sure enough it was a
website, an active website.
00:12:55.80\00:12:58.21
Okay. And on there it
actually talked about walking.
00:12:58.24\00:13:01.12
All right. And the
importance of walking
00:13:01.15\00:13:03.25
and it has stuff on
it about calorie density
00:13:03.28\00:13:05.46
and weight loss,
everything was on there.
00:13:05.49\00:13:08.08
And my thing is
about the walking
00:13:08.11\00:13:09.93
is I just love to
walk. I love to walk.
00:13:09.96\00:13:12.47
And so I said, well,
why don't I get on there.
00:13:12.50\00:13:13.87
Because what can happen is
as you get on the site itself,
00:13:13.90\00:13:16.66
you get your password in there.
00:13:16.69\00:13:18.10
And then you have a big calendar
00:13:18.13\00:13:19.70
and you put your name
in and then you actually
00:13:19.73\00:13:22.33
chart on a journal.
You actually have a journal
00:13:22.36\00:13:24.93
and you chart your speed,
your speed and your steps.
00:13:24.96\00:13:28.82
Okay. Now in order
to be able to do that,
00:13:28.85\00:13:30.66
I had to have a pedometer,
00:13:30.69\00:13:32.11
and so I got me a pedometer
and my pedometer I like,
00:13:32.14\00:13:35.11
because this pedometer was one,
00:13:35.14\00:13:36.51
it's one that actually does
distance, steps and calories.
00:13:36.54\00:13:40.28
All right. It talks to you.
00:13:40.31\00:13:41.73
And so it's very exciting to me,
00:13:41.76\00:13:43.19
because it gives me a challenge.
00:13:43.22\00:13:44.59
So I will actually
go about a whole week
00:13:44.62\00:13:46.23
by putting my
numbers in my journal
00:13:46.26\00:13:47.91
and at the end of
week I'll go on the site
00:13:47.94\00:13:49.96
and I'll put my numbers in.
00:13:49.99\00:13:51.36
Now, guess what? If
I miss a couple days,
00:13:51.39\00:13:54.28
it will let me know,
because there will be
00:13:54.31\00:13:55.68
a big old blank spot on
that calendar day. All right.
00:13:55.71\00:13:58.21
You have to walk more
to... You've to walk more.
00:13:58.24\00:14:00.27
Make up the difference.
Because I'm on a program.
00:14:00.30\00:14:01.91
That right. The first
program was a six week program.
00:14:01.94\00:14:04.59
Okay. The second
program was a six month program.
00:14:04.62\00:14:07.71
And now I'm on a
continuously six week programs.
00:14:07.74\00:14:11.40
And Curtis, there
is, people are always
00:14:11.43\00:14:13.63
asking me question. How
many steps do you have to take?
00:14:13.66\00:14:16.40
Yeah. Now... To be active or...
00:14:16.43\00:14:18.18
In order to be
considered as an active person.
00:14:18.21\00:14:20.22
Yeah. So..
00:14:20.25\00:14:21.62
Now this pedometer
will count your steps...
00:14:21.65\00:14:23.12
It counts your
steps. You program it.
00:14:23.15\00:14:24.52
Right. You put it
right on your waist.
00:14:24.55\00:14:25.95
It has to be right
in front of your knee.
00:14:25.98\00:14:27.47
Right in front of
your knee. Right there.
00:14:27.50\00:14:28.87
All right, direct line right.
Okay, and just walking out.
00:14:28.90\00:14:30.29
And you just start walking.
00:14:30.32\00:14:31.69
Okay, let's look at, I
think we have a graphic
00:14:31.72\00:14:33.09
about the steps and
based on one's activity level.
00:14:33.12\00:14:35.77
Let's go to that
graphic at this time.
00:14:35.80\00:14:37.41
Here it is folks, our steps now.
00:14:37.44\00:14:39.30
At least less than 5,000 steps,
00:14:39.33\00:14:41.56
you're basically inactive.
00:14:41.59\00:14:43.37
And if you're just walking
around the house whatever,
00:14:43.40\00:14:46.04
you'd probably
get about two, three,
00:14:46.07\00:14:47.44
four thousand whatever.
00:14:47.47\00:14:49.20
Five thousand steps to
7,499 is slightly active,
00:14:49.23\00:14:54.09
7,500 to 9,999
moderately active.
00:14:54.12\00:14:58.88
Now 10,000 steps
to 12,499 is active.
00:14:58.91\00:15:04.63
And then the very
active is over 12,500 steps.
00:15:04.66\00:15:09.95
Now your goal
is, on your program,
00:15:09.98\00:15:13.73
you've several...you've
been on several programs.
00:15:13.76\00:15:15.59
I've each one,
when you on the site
00:15:15.62\00:15:17.88
you can pick your trails.
00:15:17.91\00:15:19.28
Okay. And so on this site,
00:15:19.31\00:15:20.68
I tried to do
10,000 and above. Okay.
00:15:20.71\00:15:22.86
All right, and ten
thousand above steps a day.
00:15:22.89\00:15:24.81
Now, in order
be able to do that,
00:15:24.84\00:15:26.60
you really have to
get out there and walk.
00:15:26.63\00:15:29.34
You have to walk. Yeah.
00:15:29.37\00:15:30.74
Many people say I can
be around in my house,
00:15:30.77\00:15:32.32
and I'm gonna
get those steps in.
00:15:32.35\00:15:33.72
But unless you really, really
commit yourself to walking.
00:15:33.75\00:15:36.52
That's how the steps begin.
00:15:36.55\00:15:37.92
So I tried in the
beginning of my day
00:15:37.95\00:15:39.70
as we go out in morning to walk,
00:15:39.73\00:15:41.10
I tried to start then
by getting in at least
00:15:41.13\00:15:43.41
five or six
thousand in the morning
00:15:43.44\00:15:45.48
before I even
begin my whole day.
00:15:45.51\00:15:47.70
Like this morning before
the taping of this program,
00:15:47.73\00:15:49.91
we did a walk. We did a walk.
00:15:49.94\00:15:51.85
And we took in I think
over 3,000 steps already.
00:15:51.88\00:15:54.10
We actually...
Before they taping this...
00:15:54.13\00:15:56.01
We are actually
almost close to 5,000.
00:15:56.04\00:15:57.53
Oh, five thousand, just
by walking around the studio
00:15:57.56\00:15:59.57
we got another
2,000 steps, yeah.
00:15:59.60\00:16:01.60
and I think my wife puts
it on in the morning folks.
00:16:01.63\00:16:04.44
And I tell you, I
tell you this that,
00:16:04.47\00:16:07.35
if she is, let's say her
goal is 10,000 steps a day,
00:16:07.38\00:16:10.49
if she is like a
9,000 steps at night,
00:16:10.52\00:16:13.26
she would actually
walk aside her bed...
00:16:13.29\00:16:17.39
Right next to the
bed. Right next to the bed.
00:16:17.42\00:16:18.79
Walking around the bed
until she gets her 10,000 steps
00:16:18.82\00:16:21.67
and then she gets in bed.
00:16:21.70\00:16:23.07
Now the thing...
It's a motivator.
00:16:23.10\00:16:24.47
Is so exciting, is that we
had camp meetings in Huntsville,
00:16:24.50\00:16:26.77
and at those camp
meetings we had a program called
00:16:26.80\00:16:29.25
'Walk It Out with
Paula.' That's right.
00:16:29.28\00:16:30.86
So early in the morning 5:30,
00:16:30.89\00:16:32.41
the campers came
to a specific site
00:16:32.44\00:16:34.49
and we actually walked it out.
00:16:34.52\00:16:36.29
Now, everybody came.
00:16:36.32\00:16:37.69
We said, don't
make a difference.
00:16:37.72\00:16:39.09
You know, if you
slow if you're whatever
00:16:39.12\00:16:41.69
is going on with
you, this is an ideal time
00:16:41.72\00:16:43.49
to socialize with individuals
00:16:43.52\00:16:45.13
and get it in and all we
asked them to do was 2,500 steps
00:16:45.16\00:16:49.84
to go to their destination
00:16:49.87\00:16:51.50
and then 2,500
steps to come back.
00:16:51.53\00:16:53.77
So we walked 2,500
together as they were talking.
00:16:53.80\00:16:56.50
Two thousand
five back which meant
00:16:56.53\00:16:58.51
they got their 5,000 steps in.
00:16:58.54\00:17:00.16
That's right. All right.
00:17:00.19\00:17:01.56
Now I think we have a picture,
00:17:01.59\00:17:02.96
this is a South
Central Conference
00:17:02.99\00:17:05.25
of Seventh-day
Adventist in Huntsville,
00:17:05.28\00:17:07.07
that covers five states.
00:17:07.10\00:17:08.70
I think we've a picture of that,
00:17:08.73\00:17:10.10
let's go to our last graphic
00:17:10.13\00:17:11.50
about this picture
those walkers out there.
00:17:11.53\00:17:13.14
And there you are.
00:17:13.17\00:17:14.54
And there was quite a few
them that actually were there,
00:17:14.57\00:17:16.13
and this is our very first walk
00:17:16.16\00:17:17.53
that was so
early in the morning.
00:17:17.56\00:17:18.93
And all of them
came and not only that,
00:17:18.96\00:17:20.33
at the end of the four
days they were walking.
00:17:20.36\00:17:22.06
They wind up
getting certificates
00:17:22.09\00:17:23.92
and also their own pedometer.
00:17:23.95\00:17:27.65
Oh, I like that lady in
the front of the picture
00:17:27.68\00:17:29.79
on one knee, who's her?
00:17:29.82\00:17:31.19
She looks pretty
good to me. All right.
00:17:31.22\00:17:32.61
And so that graphic is
finished now and we'll be...
00:17:32.64\00:17:35.59
You could just say.
Thank you very much.
00:17:35.62\00:17:36.99
Thank you very much.
00:17:37.02\00:17:38.39
Okay, you're
welcome very much, okay.
00:17:38.42\00:17:39.79
Now the other thing is
at the end of a time frame
00:17:39.82\00:17:41.22
on a program that I'm on,
00:17:41.25\00:17:42.62
you wind up
getting a certificate.
00:17:42.65\00:17:44.89
Oh! Let's show that.
00:17:44.92\00:17:46.29
If you stay faithful, okay.
00:17:46.32\00:17:47.69
And so that certificate
actually shows up online,
00:17:47.72\00:17:49.50
you can actually copy
it and when you, you know,
00:17:49.53\00:17:52.85
I mean, otherwise
download it, print it.
00:17:52.88\00:17:54.72
And you get, how many
steps you've actually done?
00:17:54.75\00:17:57.63
How many miles
you actually walk?
00:17:57.66\00:17:59.03
And a big old
congratulations and everything
00:17:59.06\00:18:00.75
from 'America on
the move.' All right.
00:18:00.78\00:18:02.63
Now, honey, and you
have what about may be...
00:18:02.66\00:18:04.70
This is about... May
be 8 or 9 certificates?
00:18:04.73\00:18:06.10
I'm coming up to my 9th one.
00:18:06.13\00:18:07.50
Ninth one, and you've walked
00:18:07.53\00:18:08.90
around the United
States about 3 or 4 times?
00:18:08.93\00:18:11.18
Yes. Yeah and so...
00:18:11.21\00:18:12.58
I have done a
walk around America.
00:18:12.61\00:18:13.98
When you're
putting your steps, folks,
00:18:14.01\00:18:15.38
each day there's a boot or shoe,
00:18:15.41\00:18:17.13
that will walk
around United States,
00:18:17.16\00:18:19.36
and go all the way
around as you put in your steps
00:18:19.39\00:18:22.29
from your pedometers.
00:18:22.32\00:18:23.69
So it's a good
motivator, this is six weeks
00:18:23.72\00:18:25.63
there is a six month and
this is excellent for that.
00:18:25.66\00:18:28.31
What do you have there, honey?
00:18:28.34\00:18:29.71
Now they also
have on that site too.
00:18:29.74\00:18:31.11
One hundred ways
to get 2,000 steps in,
00:18:31.14\00:18:32.81
and so you actually
00:18:32.84\00:18:34.21
get lot of material
on this site as well.
00:18:34.24\00:18:35.69
But you know, the name
of the game is to really
00:18:35.72\00:18:38.18
just get out there and walk.
00:18:38.21\00:18:39.98
Sometime when we made a comment
00:18:40.01\00:18:41.48
about I may
feel like I'm too old
00:18:41.51\00:18:42.88
or I'm too
tired or I'm too sick.
00:18:42.91\00:18:44.45
But the name of the game
is to get that body moving.
00:18:44.48\00:18:47.40
You got to move the body
00:18:47.43\00:18:48.92
and we are so hooked on
walking until when I get up
00:18:48.95\00:18:51.63
and start my day and I
haven't got my walk in.
00:18:51.66\00:18:53.43
Oh, I'm like, I
got to get outside,
00:18:53.46\00:18:55.31
I got to get
outside, it's calling me.
00:18:55.34\00:18:56.71
Plus the Creator
God is there outdoors,
00:18:56.74\00:18:59.45
nature, flowers, butterflies,
00:18:59.48\00:19:02.39
everything is
available to us and you know...
00:19:02.42\00:19:04.47
Now one thing, that I
need to mention before
00:19:04.50\00:19:05.98
we go into that kitchen
that, when do you walk, folks,
00:19:06.01\00:19:08.36
God also blesses us as well.
00:19:08.39\00:19:10.59
Absolutely. Now lets
just mention one blessing,
00:19:10.62\00:19:14.01
one blessing, in addition
to the walking benefits,
00:19:14.04\00:19:16.58
or the weight management
and circulation blood pressure
00:19:16.61\00:19:19.11
and diabetes, blood
sugar... Good attitude.
00:19:19.14\00:19:21.16
I mean all the kind of things
00:19:21.19\00:19:22.85
but now some of other things
00:19:22.88\00:19:24.53
that are going to
face when you walk.
00:19:24.56\00:19:26.53
You are not
going to believe this
00:19:26.56\00:19:28.95
and but what happened
to me is when I go walking,
00:19:28.98\00:19:30.98
Curtis and I walk together.
00:19:31.01\00:19:32.38
The Lord blesses me with money.
00:19:32.41\00:19:33.95
I mean I've found
money in the street.
00:19:33.98\00:19:36.35
Pennies, nickels,
dimes, and quarters,
00:19:36.38\00:19:38.26
nickels but wait
a minute. A dollar.
00:19:38.29\00:19:40.60
I found ten
dollars? Ten dollars.
00:19:40.63\00:19:43.22
I found one day
twenty dollars rolled up
00:19:43.25\00:19:45.54
in a ball across the
street, I could not believe it,
00:19:45.57\00:19:47.76
I saw something
green, I said, Curtis,
00:19:47.79\00:19:49.16
there is something
green across the street.
00:19:49.19\00:19:50.66
That day I got a
twenty dollar bill.
00:19:50.69\00:19:53.28
And it was nice and
crispy. I always say God...
00:19:53.31\00:19:56.29
Thank you, Jesus.
God pays me to walk.
00:19:56.32\00:19:57.93
Let's go out and walk.
'Walk It Out with Paula."
00:19:57.96\00:20:00.26
So you on the website,
00:20:00.29\00:20:01.66
and I think they
can even sign up,
00:20:01.69\00:20:03.58
you get a code name.
It's a good motivator.
00:20:03.61\00:20:06.58
It's not just
weight management folks
00:20:06.61\00:20:08.55
but walking is again
as that one author said,
00:20:08.58\00:20:10.98
is the number one
exercise. Absolutely.
00:20:11.01\00:20:14.49
And lot of times
and sometimes, you know,
00:20:14.52\00:20:16.66
some people are
joggers out there.
00:20:16.69\00:20:18.28
I know there is one of us out
there that they are listening.
00:20:18.31\00:20:20.77
But also running it also
impacts the skeleton system.
00:20:20.80\00:20:26.15
And so you are
compromising that,
00:20:26.18\00:20:27.75
but walking you can
walk all day long without
00:20:27.78\00:20:30.66
compromising
the skeletal system.
00:20:30.69\00:20:32.35
I can really walk
faster than mostly people jog.
00:20:32.38\00:20:35.98
Because I do speed walking,
00:20:36.01\00:20:37.38
the goal is to walk one
mile in fifteen minutes.
00:20:37.41\00:20:41.51
That's your goal, so you
may not do that at first,
00:20:41.54\00:20:43.91
but that will be your goal
00:20:43.94\00:20:45.90
to walk one mile
in fifty minutes.
00:20:45.93\00:20:47.86
We'll walk about
five miles per hour.
00:20:47.89\00:20:50.59
Four to five miles per hour,
00:20:50.62\00:20:51.99
and that's a pretty good clip.
00:20:52.02\00:20:53.39
So you wanna build up to that,
00:20:53.42\00:20:54.79
or just walk it out with
Paula you'll be just fine.
00:20:54.82\00:20:56.91
And talk about
walking out with Paula.
00:20:56.94\00:20:58.43
We're gonna walk into
the kitchen. All right.
00:20:58.46\00:21:00.18
We're gonna actually do
a Fruity Brown Rice Pilaf.
00:21:00.21\00:21:03.84
So get your paper and pencil
and meet us in the kitchen.
00:21:03.87\00:21:06.89
