Hello and welcome to
From Sickness To Health.
00:00:02.30\00:00:04.67
I'm your host, Rico Hill,
and I'm joined by the blue guy
00:00:04.87\00:00:08.10
himself: Sickness.
00:00:08.30\00:00:10.04
Can you imagine having
all the power of the universe:
00:00:10.24\00:00:13.54
the wisdom and divine ability
to speak chariots into existence
00:00:13.74\00:00:17.78
but yet choosing
to walk everywhere?
00:00:18.08\00:00:20.25
In Luke 13:33 Jesus
states that He would walk
00:00:20.65\00:00:24.42
today, tomorrow,
and the day following.
00:00:24.62\00:00:27.52
It's truly amazing that
Jesus walked everywhere He went.
00:00:27.72\00:00:32.46
That's because
they didn't have cars.
00:00:32.66\00:00:35.00
I think you're
missing the point.
00:00:35.40\00:00:36.73
Well what is the point?
00:00:36.80\00:00:38.43
The point is that Jesus
was teaching a valuable lesson!
00:00:38.63\00:00:42.07
And that is the
topic of our program today.
00:00:42.47\00:00:45.37
Oh... don't tell me.
Today we're going to talk about
00:00:45.57\00:00:48.98
healthy people...
jumping around, breathing heavy,
00:00:49.18\00:00:52.75
sweating all over the place,
00:00:53.15\00:00:55.48
acting like they enjoy it
00:00:55.68\00:00:57.29
but they're really
a bunch of phonies.
00:00:57.69\00:00:59.59
Yes, I'm excited about that!
00:00:59.79\00:01:01.46
The topic of our program today
is the benefits of exercise.
00:01:02.29\00:01:06.19
Where're you going? Walking
off. That's exercise, right?
00:01:07.76\00:01:12.87
Well you stick around
because we're going to have
00:01:16.54\00:01:19.67
a walking, jumping, and
maybe a little sweating -
00:01:19.87\00:01:22.61
for him - program for you today.
00:01:22.81\00:01:24.75
Roll it.
00:01:25.15\00:01:26.48
Well, we're so happy that
you decided to stick around.
00:01:59.81\00:02:02.25
Thank you for joining
us here in the studio of
00:02:02.45\00:02:04.29
From Sickness To Health.
Today, as always, we have
00:02:04.49\00:02:07.32
an exciting program for you.
00:02:07.52\00:02:09.76
Today we're going to be talking
about - as we mentioned -
00:02:09.96\00:02:12.69
exercise. And if you have
a regular exercise regimen
00:02:12.89\00:02:17.83
you can "x" your size...
and that's what we want to
00:02:18.03\00:02:21.37
help you do. But before
we get into the discussion -
00:02:21.57\00:02:23.94
it's going to be a good
one - we want to say hello to
00:02:24.14\00:02:26.68
our co-host
Sickness who is on location.
00:02:26.88\00:02:30.11
How are you, sir? Oh
I'm doing good. I'm playing
00:02:30.31\00:02:32.71
it safe because as you
can see it's raining outside
00:02:32.91\00:02:35.32
and looks like
somebody tried to exercise.
00:02:35.62\00:02:38.12
That's why they called
the ambulance... so... yeah.
00:02:38.32\00:02:41.52
OK. Well we know that
you have more to share.
00:02:41.72\00:02:44.46
You're going to go to another
location. We'll check back in
00:02:44.66\00:02:46.39
with you. In the
meantime we want to say hello to
00:02:46.59\00:02:48.46
our guests. Today we have
joining us here on the program
00:02:48.66\00:02:51.93
Reidland Bredy, who
is a physical therapist.
00:02:52.23\00:02:55.80
We wanted to bring in a physical
therapist... somebody who knows
00:02:56.00\00:02:58.07
about the human
body and how to exercise.
00:02:58.27\00:03:01.28
So thank you for
being here on the program.
00:03:01.48\00:03:02.98
Glad to be here Rico.
And joining you right next to
00:03:03.18\00:03:05.65
your side is your lovely wife.
We like to bring in husband
00:03:05.85\00:03:09.18
and wife teams because it makes
a more interesting program.
00:03:09.38\00:03:13.09
We want to introduce to
you Sherry-Lynne Bredy -
00:03:13.29\00:03:16.66
um-hmm -
Sherry-Lynne that is Bredy,
00:03:16.86\00:03:18.83
and she is an
occupational therapist.
00:03:19.03\00:03:20.76
They are a team in ministry
00:03:20.96\00:03:23.16
and they both have
a passion for health.
00:03:23.37\00:03:25.30
So welcome to the program also.
00:03:25.50\00:03:27.07
Happy to be here. I'm
glad you're here as well.
00:03:27.27\00:03:29.47
Now we have found that
with just regularity in an
00:03:29.77\00:03:33.48
exercise regimen a person
can add 10 years of rejuvenation
00:03:33.68\00:03:38.51
to their life. That's amazing!
00:03:38.71\00:03:40.98
And the human body -
I know you know this -
00:03:41.18\00:03:43.45
the human body is the only
machine in the history of the
00:03:43.65\00:03:46.76
world that wears out
when we don't use it.
00:03:46.96\00:03:50.26
It's the only one that
wears out when we don't use it.
00:03:50.66\00:03:53.96
So... we want to use
this amazing instrument
00:03:54.16\00:03:57.50
that God has given us.
Why? Because we notice that
00:03:57.70\00:04:00.80
research has shown
that when we don't exercise
00:04:01.00\00:04:04.01
there's a correlation
with lack of exercise
00:04:04.21\00:04:06.71
and diabetes, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol,
00:04:06.91\00:04:10.11
obesity, and heart disease.
00:04:10.31\00:04:12.21
So today we want
to turn this around
00:04:12.41\00:04:14.98
through this discussion.
But before we get into it -
00:04:15.18\00:04:17.22
I know you're
anxious to get in...
00:04:17.42\00:04:18.75
I know you're anxious -
let's turn real quick to
00:04:18.85\00:04:21.69
Sickness and see what
he's got cooked up for us.
00:04:21.89\00:04:23.83
Sickness, where
are you? Hey Rico.
00:04:24.23\00:04:26.09
I'm down here walking
at the local fitness center
00:04:26.29\00:04:28.63
encouraging people to be real.
00:04:28.83\00:04:31.03
Take this guy for example.
00:04:31.23\00:04:32.83
He's as real as they get.
00:04:33.03\00:04:35.17
He REALLY
doesn't want to be here.
00:04:35.37\00:04:37.97
His wife and doctor
convinced him to come here
00:04:38.17\00:04:41.08
for his heart, but he
can "heartly" wait to leave.
00:04:41.28\00:04:44.58
He's been spending more
time at the snack bar and
00:04:45.58\00:04:47.72
the water cooler than
on these silly machines.
00:04:47.92\00:04:50.42
My suggestion, of course.
00:04:50.82\00:04:52.79
Hey buddy, is that your wife?
00:04:53.19\00:04:55.22
Oh, no... coast is clear.
00:04:57.13\00:04:59.19
You know, I like to
reward athletes like this
00:05:00.23\00:05:03.03
with a candy bar.
Back to you, Rico.
00:05:03.23\00:05:05.47
Well, that's an interesting
perspective, isn't it?
00:05:12.07\00:05:15.04
Now, exercise is important
00:05:15.44\00:05:18.78
regardless of
what Sickness says.
00:05:18.98\00:05:20.98
It's important,
and I think that it was
00:05:21.38\00:05:23.49
established a long time ago.
I'm going to turn to my guests
00:05:23.69\00:05:26.79
now, and... was
this important to God?
00:05:26.99\00:05:30.66
I mean, if God determined
that exercise was important,
00:05:30.86\00:05:35.20
He probably established
it in the beginning. Did He?
00:05:35.40\00:05:37.57
You know, Rico, He did. If
you look in Genesis chapter 2
00:05:37.97\00:05:42.04
after He creates the whole earth
and then the Garden of Eden
00:05:42.24\00:05:45.77
He creates man and says:
"OK, I'm going to take man
00:05:45.97\00:05:49.11
and put him in the garden. "
And He doesn't say to put man
00:05:49.31\00:05:51.81
in the garden just
to eat all the fruits
00:05:52.01\00:05:53.82
and just relax
and don't do anything.
00:05:54.02\00:05:55.88
He puts man in the garden
to dress it and to keep it.
00:05:56.48\00:05:59.52
What does that mean: "to
dress it and to keep it? "
00:05:59.72\00:06:01.39
Well any gardeners know
that they have to, in order to
00:06:01.59\00:06:04.93
cultivate plants, they have
to spend some time stooping and
00:06:05.13\00:06:08.06
bending and pruning and cutting
and doing all sorts of gardening
00:06:08.26\00:06:12.33
activities. Not just
picking flowers? No! No!
00:06:12.53\00:06:15.27
This was actually
exercise... this was work.
00:06:15.47\00:06:17.77
Yes! Although it'd be nice
to pick a few flowers for your
00:06:17.97\00:06:20.51
wife... and I'll bring
her in that way. Thank you.
00:06:20.71\00:06:23.81
I want to just, before we
talk some more about that,
00:06:24.01\00:06:26.82
as an occupational therapist
what do you do exactly?
00:06:27.02\00:06:31.49
Well Rico, I work closely
with physical therapists.
00:06:31.69\00:06:35.19
And what I do is I
focus a lot on the function:
00:06:35.39\00:06:37.83
trying to return patients back
to their normal, independent
00:06:38.03\00:06:41.53
daily life. OK. So it could go
from getting in and out of that
00:06:41.73\00:06:44.97
shower to cooking, dressing,
driving, getting back to
00:06:45.17\00:06:48.47
schoolwork... whatever it is.
00:06:48.67\00:06:50.31
And we sort of focus on
those activities and either we
00:06:50.51\00:06:52.71
adapt it or find another
way of re-creating their lives
00:06:52.91\00:06:56.41
so they can continue the best
quality of life as possible.
00:06:56.61\00:07:00.08
So sort of re-
introducing them into movement.
00:07:00.38\00:07:02.82
Yeah. And do you
all do this together?
00:07:03.02\00:07:05.02
We can... Not very often.
00:07:05.42\00:07:08.92
We don't do it together
but we can. In fact, we...
00:07:09.12\00:07:11.43
there are lots of times where
if we have discussions about
00:07:11.63\00:07:14.46
patients or just to know
what's the best way to do it.
00:07:14.66\00:07:17.63
Sometimes I'll consult with
her and say: "How can I get this
00:07:17.83\00:07:20.54
patient to function better? "
00:07:20.74\00:07:22.17
And she'll give me ideas
and say: "Hey, that works! "
00:07:22.37\00:07:24.64
Oh, OK... fantastic.
And you both have a passion
00:07:24.84\00:07:28.54
for health. Why did
you get into health?
00:07:28.74\00:07:30.15
Why did you go into
physical therapy and
00:07:30.55\00:07:33.82
occupational therapy? I
knew I wanted to help people.
00:07:34.02\00:07:36.79
It was something
that I always loved to do
00:07:36.99\00:07:38.55
and even as a little
girl I wanted to put band aids
00:07:38.75\00:07:41.56
on everybody. But volunteering
in the hospital... when I saw
00:07:41.76\00:07:46.06
what rehabilitation does.
It's helping people return back
00:07:46.26\00:07:50.23
to their life. That's
what the passion was all about
00:07:50.43\00:07:53.13
is helping people
get better and healthier
00:07:53.34\00:07:56.14
and returning to a
good quality of life. So...
00:07:56.34\00:07:59.07
that's a passion God gave us.
00:07:59.27\00:08:00.81
Would you say that there are
people that you end up having
00:08:01.11\00:08:04.25
to help in rehab, "rehabbing"
them or rehabilitating them
00:08:04.45\00:08:08.32
are in a condition as a
result of not taking care of
00:08:08.52\00:08:12.82
themselves? Yes,
yes. Time and time again
00:08:13.02\00:08:16.46
we'll see as
we're doing evaluations
00:08:16.66\00:08:18.79
there are certain
questions that we'll ask.
00:08:18.99\00:08:20.76
Of course, they know
their medical history.
00:08:20.96\00:08:22.56
And the top 3 that we
get: diabetes - diabetes,
00:08:22.86\00:08:26.03
high blood pressure
- high blood pressure,
00:08:26.23\00:08:27.57
high cholesterol. Yeah.
Diabetes, high blood pressure,
00:08:27.60\00:08:31.67
high cholesterol. All of these
are related to - for the most
00:08:31.87\00:08:37.11
part - to diet. Um-hmm.
So diet... We find diet...
00:08:37.31\00:08:41.32
diet and lack of exercise
kind of go hand in hand.
00:08:41.62\00:08:46.02
Yes they do. And
we've seen in this program,
00:08:46.22\00:08:48.26
had discussions
about it many times,
00:08:48.46\00:08:50.26
that we see that when people
are sort of having a sedentary
00:08:50.46\00:08:53.93
lifestyle... They are on the
couch, they're sitting around,
00:08:54.13\00:08:57.00
but the eating doesn't stop.
00:08:57.20\00:08:58.83
And a lot of times it's a lot of
the eating of the wrong foods.
00:08:59.03\00:09:01.60
Is that right?
That is correct. And so
00:09:01.80\00:09:03.51
I'm wondering though, when I
heard you say diabetes though,
00:09:03.71\00:09:06.21
when I heard that I
thought about the fact that
00:09:06.41\00:09:08.54
sometimes people have
to go through amputations.
00:09:08.74\00:09:11.35
You know, they have
their legs amputated,
00:09:11.55\00:09:14.35
their feet amputated
and things like that.
00:09:14.55\00:09:16.12
Are you having to physically
assist people to get back
00:09:16.32\00:09:19.92
to a normal way of life
having only, you know, one limb?
00:09:20.12\00:09:23.79
Yes... absolutely. And
thankfully medicine has
00:09:24.19\00:09:29.46
progressed to such a state that
00:09:29.66\00:09:32.13
we have prosthetics, we have
different things that we can use
00:09:32.33\00:09:35.44
to help them to be able to walk
properly and things like that.
00:09:35.64\00:09:38.04
But it's always unfortunate
there's something that...
00:09:38.24\00:09:41.31
It's so preventable; you
don't have to get an amputation.
00:09:41.51\00:09:44.81
Right. You don't
have to end up that way.
00:09:45.01\00:09:48.32
But because of the lifestyle
choices that we do - especially
00:09:48.52\00:09:51.25
in the society where we
tend to sit for hours on end -
00:09:51.45\00:09:55.52
whether it's work and you just
mentioned about sitting on a
00:09:55.72\00:09:58.49
couch and just eating
away but never moving.
00:09:58.69\00:10:00.70
Those kinds of things
contribute to, you know, the
00:10:00.90\00:10:03.57
prevalence of
amputations with diabetes.
00:10:03.77\00:10:05.87
The body was meant to move. Yes!
00:10:06.27\00:10:08.50
In fact, it is said that
the body was built for action.
00:10:08.90\00:10:13.78
Action is a law of our being.
00:10:14.08\00:10:16.58
In other words, we need
to constantly be moving,
00:10:16.78\00:10:19.71
moving constantly.
So... with that in mind
00:10:19.91\00:10:22.35
now I mentioned
earlier in the program
00:10:22.55\00:10:25.55
that we see a correlation
between lack of exercise
00:10:25.75\00:10:29.36
and diabetes and heart
disease and all these things.
00:10:29.56\00:10:31.63
So it is good for us to under-
stand the physiology of this.
00:10:32.03\00:10:36.10
What is... Why is...
physiologically why is
00:10:36.30\00:10:39.80
exercise necessary.
What's happening in the body?
00:10:40.00\00:10:43.20
I mean, I'll throw out
one: circulation! Circulation.
00:10:43.41\00:10:49.08
Circulation is the key, right?
00:10:49.28\00:10:51.08
How our blood
circulates in our body
00:10:51.38\00:10:54.12
is very key to
our health. Yes it is.
00:10:54.32\00:10:56.38
And if we're not moving,
what happens to our circulation?
00:10:56.58\00:10:59.02
Just slows down and nothing
gets to where it needs to go
00:10:59.52\00:11:03.26
to keep your body
functioning properly.
00:11:03.46\00:11:05.89
It slows down... it slows down.
00:11:06.09\00:11:07.43
Well let's kind of
break that down a little bit.
00:11:07.46\00:11:09.16
Let's break this down. I
like the idea of thinking that
00:11:09.36\00:11:11.67
if the blood is not moving...
But what's in the blood?
00:11:12.27\00:11:16.34
What's' necessary in the blood?
00:11:16.64\00:11:18.81
Life. Why do we need it to move?
00:11:19.01\00:11:20.71
You know, if we understand
the very basics of this
00:11:21.11\00:11:23.85
then people can get an
understanding and then it can be
00:11:24.05\00:11:26.38
a much easier process to say:
"Oh, that's what's going on. "
00:11:26.58\00:11:29.35
I don't think a lot of people
realize that oxygen is necessary
00:11:29.65\00:11:33.15
and we have oxygen in the blood.
00:11:33.36\00:11:34.76
And oxygen needs to be
carried to the various parts:
00:11:35.16\00:11:38.53
to the various organs, to
the lungs and all these things.
00:11:38.73\00:11:41.80
And if we're not moving,
it's not getting the oxygen.
00:11:42.00\00:11:43.90
Rico, I come about that
all the time with my patients.
00:11:44.30\00:11:47.24
I work mostly with
people with neurological issues.
00:11:47.44\00:11:50.41
Um-hmm. Strokes; brain injuries;
00:11:50.61\00:11:53.51
Parkinson's... all that kind.
00:11:53.71\00:11:55.41
And what happens is we
have to really emphasize
00:11:55.61\00:11:59.85
the amount of exercise they
do because they need the most,
00:12:00.05\00:12:04.42
that maximum oxygen that
they can get in their brain
00:12:04.62\00:12:07.02
in order to heal. So a lot
of times, especially with people
00:12:07.22\00:12:10.06
who have an underlying diabetes
00:12:10.26\00:12:12.69
their diabetes even gets
better because they have been
00:12:12.89\00:12:15.26
exercising, increasing that
circulation, getting that oxygen
00:12:15.46\00:12:18.67
to their brain. It actually
helps their neurological issues
00:12:18.87\00:12:21.44
as well. And to
piggyback off of that
00:12:21.64\00:12:24.21
when the body is not getting
enough blood, first of all
00:12:24.41\00:12:27.61
blood is actually moving
through your body at about
00:12:27.81\00:12:30.98
41 miles per hour.
With every pump it goes
00:12:31.18\00:12:34.22
41 miles per hour - wow! -
if they measure it exactly.
00:12:34.38\00:12:36.79
So now imagine... Especially
when your exercising! ESPECIALLY
00:12:36.99\00:12:38.72
when you're exercising.
Because it revs up the heart and
00:12:38.92\00:12:40.36
the heart rate and all that. OK!
Yeah! So now imagine: if you're
00:12:40.56\00:12:42.96
sitting and you're
not really doing anything
00:12:43.16\00:12:45.09
that blood slows
down to... like traffic.
00:12:45.29\00:12:47.93
Like rush-hour traffic. So
the blood is not even moving
00:12:48.33\00:12:51.57
any more. Wow!
That's a beautiful analogy.
00:12:51.77\00:12:53.10
Rico, I'd like to
bring some clarity here.
00:12:53.13\00:12:55.10
We've got to check
for some clarity. OK.
00:12:56.57\00:12:58.77
What's the
clarity that we need here?
00:12:58.97\00:13:00.31
I don't think that
everyone is fully understanding
00:13:00.48\00:13:03.48
the advances in society.
00:13:03.68\00:13:05.61
See, I hear talk about
hearts pumping and things.
00:13:05.81\00:13:08.28
Have you ever
seen the American male?
00:13:08.68\00:13:11.62
We get our exercise on Sundays.
00:13:11.82\00:13:14.89
We're sitting there
eating with both hands
00:13:15.09\00:13:17.86
and we watch
these athletes exercise
00:13:18.06\00:13:22.46
and our hearts are
pumping and we're excited.
00:13:22.66\00:13:26.10
That's enough
exercise for all of us,
00:13:26.30\00:13:28.64
wouldn't you agree? I
would not agree actually.
00:13:28.84\00:13:31.54
Can we get exercise by proxy?
00:13:31.84\00:13:34.78
No! There's no
way to get exercise
00:13:35.18\00:13:40.08
by osmosis... by
just watching or just by
00:13:40.28\00:13:42.98
being around people that
exercise. Exercise is a...
00:13:43.18\00:13:46.49
is an individual
thing. Your body has to
00:13:46.69\00:13:49.56
in order to get the
benefits of healthy living -
00:13:49.76\00:13:52.33
yeah - you have to
exercise in order to get that.
00:13:52.53\00:13:55.23
I'm actually glad he
weighed in at that point. Yes!
00:13:55.53\00:13:57.53
And to see the traffic
snarling behind him to a crawl
00:13:57.73\00:14:01.64
as we were talking about the
way the blood is supposed to be
00:14:01.84\00:14:05.07
moving through the
body. And when it's not moving
00:14:05.27\00:14:07.78
you say there's
like a traffic jam. Yes.
00:14:07.98\00:14:09.74
Like a traffic jam.
So you can just imagine
00:14:09.94\00:14:12.05
that your blood is supposed
to be like on that super highway
00:14:12.25\00:14:15.18
moving and taking oxygen
and nutrition to the various
00:14:15.38\00:14:18.95
organs of the body, but
yet it's down to a crawl.
00:14:19.15\00:14:21.99
It's not a river of life
but a cesspool of... death.
00:14:22.19\00:14:26.36
And the Bible says
that we should be like trees
00:14:26.56\00:14:29.10
planted by the rivers
of water and bringing life.
00:14:29.30\00:14:33.03
So... In fact, when
you go into a desert,
00:14:33.23\00:14:35.47
when you go into a
desert you will notice that...
00:14:35.67\00:14:37.87
And I live in Arizona...
00:14:38.07\00:14:39.41
that's where I live...
and lots of deserts there
00:14:39.44\00:14:42.11
if you've not been there.
00:14:42.31\00:14:43.85
But some of the
deserts can be so beautiful but
00:14:44.05\00:14:45.61
it's even more beautiful
when you are traveling through
00:14:45.81\00:14:49.02
and you see nothing but
wasteland and barrenness
00:14:49.22\00:14:51.22
and cacti and all of this
00:14:51.42\00:14:53.32
but then when you
start to see green trees,
00:14:53.52\00:14:56.32
when you start to see life,
you'll notice that there's a
00:14:56.52\00:14:59.79
river there. That means
that life is coming through.
00:15:00.00\00:15:02.90
It's flowing and it's moving...
00:15:03.10\00:15:04.90
and that's how our
body should be. Yes!
00:15:05.10\00:15:07.70
So, we've talked
about some of the diseases,
00:15:07.90\00:15:09.50
some of the issues.
We talked about diabetes;
00:15:09.70\00:15:11.31
talked about high blood
pressure. But what is the best
00:15:11.51\00:15:15.04
kind of exercise? I imagine
somebody is sitting and saying:
00:15:15.24\00:15:17.35
"Well, you know, if I
can't sit and watch television
00:15:17.55\00:15:20.22
on Sunday and exercise both
arms and the remote control" -
00:15:20.42\00:15:24.02
right - as Sickness
said, "what exercises can I do
00:15:24.22\00:15:28.72
practically? " What kind of
exercises should we be doing?
00:15:28.92\00:15:32.13
Well, on an average,
the American... an average
00:15:32.33\00:15:35.36
is about 11 hours
that an American sits
00:15:35.56\00:15:39.07
throughout the day.
Eleven hours? Eleven hours.
00:15:39.27\00:15:41.94
Wait a minute.
Eight hours are sleeping,
00:15:42.14\00:15:44.31
eleven hours?
Working, sitting, watching TV.
00:15:44.51\00:15:48.74
Working. Um-hmm. OK, sitting at
work, sitting at a television.
00:15:48.94\00:15:51.11
So that's a lot of sitting.
Sitting while you're driving
00:15:51.31\00:15:53.08
or on the bus or the
train... a lot of sitting.
00:15:53.28\00:15:55.25
So the first practical thing
to do is not to sit so much.
00:15:55.55\00:15:59.45
If we are going to be
moving around the house
00:15:59.65\00:16:01.62
and clean up in the
house, just move around.
00:16:01.82\00:16:03.76
If we're going to be in
the car for a long time,
00:16:03.96\00:16:07.76
you know, park
somewhere a little further
00:16:07.96\00:16:09.66
and walk over a little
longer... extra distance.
00:16:09.86\00:16:12.23
So there's quite a few little
practical things that we can be
00:16:12.43\00:16:15.04
doing. Taking the
stairs and not the elevator!
00:16:15.24\00:16:17.14
We love elevators,
don't we? Or escalators.
00:16:17.34\00:16:18.77
Escalators, yes. Or...
you can run up the escalator!
00:16:18.97\00:16:21.34
Sometimes. You could do that.
00:16:21.54\00:16:23.31
But don't run or
you'll end up with us again.
00:16:23.51\00:16:27.18
So a lot of those
things that she mentioned
00:16:27.38\00:16:30.02
actually are
established in the Bible.
00:16:30.42\00:16:31.99
You pointed out that when
God created the Garden of Eden
00:16:32.19\00:16:34.76
He put man there to
dress it and to keep it.
00:16:34.96\00:16:37.06
To garden it... to
tend to it, right? Um-hmm.
00:16:37.26\00:16:40.36
Notice how God did not say
to: "OK, you're in the garden.
00:16:40.56\00:16:43.16
Now I want you to do
some squats, some dead lifts,
00:16:43.37\00:16:46.30
some power cleans in
order to keep up your body. "
00:16:46.50\00:16:49.07
God gave
practical exercise for man.
00:16:49.27\00:16:52.97
And as rehabilitative
specialists we give practical
00:16:53.27\00:16:57.08
exercises. Yes, we like the
squats. We like to do, you know,
00:16:57.28\00:17:00.25
to give those exercises.
00:17:00.45\00:17:02.08
But a lot of the time I tell
patients: "OK, you're sitting
00:17:02.28\00:17:05.19
in a chair. A commercial
comes on... go up and down
00:17:05.39\00:17:07.89
from sitting to standing to sit.
00:17:08.09\00:17:10.73
Stand... sit.
Ten, twenty times. "
00:17:10.93\00:17:13.73
And that'll just kind of get?
That will get everything going,
00:17:13.93\00:17:15.80
yes. Wow! See... I love
the point you just made.
00:17:16.00\00:17:19.13
You said: "When God
did it, it was practical. "
00:17:19.33\00:17:21.37
Practical things that we can do.
00:17:21.57\00:17:23.64
Not something that you know...
because I think a lot of people
00:17:23.84\00:17:25.57
get discouraged when you say:
"You know what? You've gotta go
00:17:25.77\00:17:27.74
get the gym membership. And
then you've got to pay for that
00:17:27.94\00:17:29.74
gym membership and you've
gotta... " All these different
00:17:29.94\00:17:31.98
things you've gotta do and you
say: "Ah, do I really want to do
00:17:32.18\00:17:34.02
all of that? " And
we get discouraged.
00:17:34.22\00:17:35.65
But let's look at this
practically. And the most
00:17:35.85\00:17:37.72
practical thing that you
can do is walk. Yep! In fact,
00:17:37.92\00:17:40.52
they say walking is
"the second heart. "
00:17:40.72\00:17:42.99
Why? Because we find
that those calf muscles
00:17:43.19\00:17:46.26
play a role in pumping
that blood up to the heart.
00:17:46.46\00:17:49.70
It gives an assist there
so that the blood is actually
00:17:49.90\00:17:53.30
circulated. And when we're
not walking, not exercising,
00:17:53.50\00:17:56.24
that blood becomes what?
Again, we get back to the
00:17:56.44\00:17:59.74
circulation...
it becomes stagnant.
00:17:59.94\00:18:02.08
This cuts off the circulation...
cuts off circulation.
00:18:02.28\00:18:05.48
What happens when
we cut off circulation?
00:18:05.68\00:18:07.55
Then our limbs begin
to... What happens to the limbs?
00:18:07.75\00:18:11.99
They atrophy or
muscles grow weak.
00:18:12.19\00:18:15.99
They get weak
and they waste away.
00:18:16.19\00:18:18.39
And then that's why in the
case of the type-II diabetic
00:18:18.59\00:18:22.03
when you've got that you
don't have that circulation.
00:18:22.23\00:18:24.13
And by the way, most of our
arteries are in our extremities,
00:18:24.33\00:18:28.77
right? Yes...
yes... most of them.
00:18:28.97\00:18:30.71
So if we're not
getting circulation, that's why
00:18:30.91\00:18:33.68
you end up losing those, right?
Those limbs. That is correct...
00:18:33.88\00:18:37.15
yeah. So what are
the types of exercise?
00:18:37.48\00:18:39.61
I think there are
three types, right?
00:18:39.81\00:18:41.62
Well, yes, there are three types
but there are actually two main
00:18:41.82\00:18:44.52
types that we focus
on - OK - especially as
00:18:44.72\00:18:47.09
physical therapists and
occupational therapists.
00:18:47.29\00:18:48.92
You have aerobic exercise.
What is aerobic exercise?
00:18:49.12\00:18:52.09
Aerobic exercise to put
it simply is things like
00:18:52.29\00:18:55.60
jogging, walking, biking.
00:18:55.80\00:18:58.93
Things that require... Oxygen.
Things that require oxygen, yes.
00:18:59.13\00:19:02.67
So things that... With
air. Yes... using oxygen a lot
00:19:02.87\00:19:05.61
but you're not
overtaxing yourself.
00:19:05.81\00:19:08.64
Um-hmm... OK. And
then there the second type.
00:19:08.84\00:19:11.15
It's anaerobic exercise...
which is what you get with
00:19:11.35\00:19:13.82
weight lifting. That's without
air. That's without oxygen, yes.
00:19:14.02\00:19:16.72
So you're just lifting weights
and what's happening there
00:19:16.92\00:19:20.29
is you're
breaking down the muscles
00:19:20.49\00:19:22.06
in order to rebuild them. OK.
As opposed to aerobic exercise
00:19:22.26\00:19:26.23
you're actually refueling
them with oxygen as you go on to
00:19:26.43\00:19:29.30
improve the endurance.
And research nowadays shows
00:19:29.50\00:19:31.83
that integral training
- a combination of both -
00:19:32.03\00:19:34.64
is a really good way of...
So lifting some weights, right?
00:19:34.84\00:19:38.11
And it's like shorts periods of
it, so you're doing a little bit
00:19:38.31\00:19:42.54
of weights and then you're
going to be on the treadmill
00:19:42.74\00:19:44.51
for five minutes or walking
outdoors and doing some squats.
00:19:44.71\00:19:47.25
Your actually having a
combination is the best way
00:19:47.45\00:19:50.05
to lose weight
and feel really good
00:19:50.25\00:19:51.92
in a shorter period of time.
00:19:52.12\00:19:53.52
Somebody just liked what you
just said 'cause you said 5 min.
00:19:53.72\00:19:56.02
You said five minutes and
I like that myself because
00:19:56.52\00:20:00.46
it kind of suggests that
you don't have to do a full long
00:20:00.66\00:20:04.07
thing. But if you just
kind of do five minutes here
00:20:04.27\00:20:06.94
then lift some weights and
do another five minutes - yes -
00:20:07.14\00:20:08.77
short timed exercises.
Right. In fact, sometimes
00:20:08.97\00:20:12.07
what I do is I just... I'll
do a walk and I'll go for a walk
00:20:12.27\00:20:15.34
and I'll jump rope - um-hmm
- for just about... real hard
00:20:15.54\00:20:18.78
for like a minute, right?
And then I stop and I'll walk
00:20:18.98\00:20:21.78
some more, and I keep
doing that in intervals.
00:20:21.98\00:20:24.35
Let's kind of, you know...
'cause people are watching
00:20:24.55\00:20:28.26
and they are saying:
"You know, this sounds good
00:20:28.46\00:20:30.29
but maybe that's just
some people talkin' about it. "
00:20:30.49\00:20:32.13
But you know we like to bring
in video clips that actually
00:20:32.33\00:20:34.83
support what we're saying.
So let's turn to a clip now
00:20:35.96\00:20:40.00
and let's see if the... the news
reports and the other experts
00:20:40.20\00:20:43.91
what they're saying.
00:20:44.11\00:20:45.44
One in ten deaths worldwide
can be blamed on illnesses
00:20:47.48\00:20:49.94
that are caused
by lack of exercise.
00:20:50.15\00:20:52.15
This is about the same as the
number of deaths from smoking.
00:20:52.35\00:20:55.08
Experts say this problem
has reached pandemic proportions
00:20:55.28\00:20:58.19
according to new research
in the medical journal Lancet.
00:20:58.39\00:21:01.06
When people don't exercise
they are more likely to die
00:21:01.26\00:21:03.63
from heart disease, type II
diabetes, and breast and colon
00:21:03.83\00:21:06.76
cancer. Exercise could have
prevents about 60,000 deaths
00:21:06.96\00:21:10.07
from heart disease in the
Americas and about 121,000
00:21:10.27\00:21:13.50
in Europe in 2008
according to the report.
00:21:13.70\00:21:16.30
The scientists looked at
ten years of research on ways
00:21:16.50\00:21:18.94
to promote physical activity
and identified a number of
00:21:19.14\00:21:22.18
effective strategies to help
us get the 150 min. of exercise
00:21:22.38\00:21:25.51
we need each week.
That just blows my mind!
00:21:25.71\00:21:28.35
Did you hear that? It said that
00:21:28.65\00:21:31.55
because of lack of exercise...
They compared it to smoking!
00:21:31.95\00:21:35.92
One in ten! Why would
there be such a correlation
00:21:36.12\00:21:40.83
between smoking a cigarette
and just not exercising?
00:21:41.03\00:21:44.43
Well, smoking... We just
mentioned that lack of exercise
00:21:44.83\00:21:48.40
causes their blood
to not pump efficiently.
00:21:48.60\00:21:51.04
It makes it stagnant. OK.
Smoking actually has the same
00:21:51.24\00:21:54.08
effect because smoking prevents
blood flow to the extremities.
00:21:54.28\00:21:58.28
It prevents proper healing
which, in order to heal properly
00:21:58.48\00:22:01.75
especially after surgeries, you
need blood to get to the area.
00:22:01.95\00:22:05.75
So circulation... So smoking
impedes proper circulation.
00:22:05.95\00:22:09.92
Which is why doctors always
say... If you're going for
00:22:10.23\00:22:13.06
surgery they ask
you: "Do you smoke? "
00:22:13.26\00:22:15.23
And throughout the
surgery and the healing process
00:22:15.43\00:22:18.63
they recommend do not smoke
00:22:18.83\00:22:21.00
or else the healing process will
slow down and you'll just be
00:22:21.20\00:22:24.41
getting worse. So we can look
at that and say the same for
00:22:24.61\00:22:29.34
exercise. Um-hmm. A
doctor could almost say:
00:22:29.54\00:22:32.71
"Are you exercising regularly? "
00:22:32.91\00:22:35.02
I mean that's the
conclusion that I draw, right?
00:22:35.22\00:22:37.45
Compared,
um-hmm. To compare those.
00:22:37.65\00:22:39.55
And that's the question to ask:
"Are you exercising regularly? "
00:22:39.75\00:22:42.92
It's found that I believe
66% of Americans do not do
00:22:43.32\00:22:48.66
vigorous exercise for
at least 30 minutes...
00:22:48.86\00:22:53.23
a week. 66% of Americans...
of adult Americans...
00:22:54.24\00:22:59.41
do not exercise on a regular
basis. Let me do the math.
00:22:59.61\00:23:01.94
Two-thirds. Yes.
Two-thirds of Americans
00:23:02.14\00:23:05.21
don't get
regular exercise. Um-hmm.
00:23:05.41\00:23:08.48
Wow! Rico, I
know what that means.
00:23:08.88\00:23:11.55
What does it mean, Sickness?
00:23:11.75\00:23:13.56
That clearly means the majority
know what they're doing.
00:23:13.76\00:23:16.99
When you talk to experts like
me, I've done some major studies
00:23:17.19\00:23:20.00
and research and
the conclusion is this:
00:23:20.20\00:23:22.70
people are perfectly happy
letting other people exercise
00:23:22.90\00:23:26.84
while we stay indoors to
prevent emergencies like this.
00:23:27.04\00:23:30.41
Sickness, I'm glad that
you brought that out because
00:23:33.58\00:23:37.18
also lack of exercise
increases the risk of death
00:23:37.38\00:23:41.52
by up to 40%. Um-hmm. That
doesn't sound very happy to me.
00:23:41.72\00:23:45.59
No that doesn't. So
although the majority
00:23:45.79\00:23:48.16
are not exercising and
not being physically active
00:23:48.36\00:23:51.06
unfortunately the numbers point
to an increased risk of death
00:23:51.26\00:23:54.70
in the future. Wow!
That's amazing 'cause
00:23:55.10\00:23:58.77
I mean you can't dispute that.
00:23:58.97\00:24:00.70
I mean while it may be a
nice thing to "hang" indoors
00:24:00.90\00:24:04.17
and watch TV and then be
confronted with all of these
00:24:04.37\00:24:08.28
lifestyle diseases like
high blood pressure, diabetes,
00:24:08.48\00:24:11.38
etc. etc. And then those
things require medication
00:24:11.58\00:24:16.05
which slows down the
process of death a little bit,
00:24:16.35\00:24:18.75
but eventually you're heading
down that downward spiral to...
00:24:18.95\00:24:22.92
to death. It's
24 billion dollars
00:24:23.12\00:24:26.86
it takes on medical
expenses in one year.
00:24:27.06\00:24:31.33
It's estimated for
a sedentary lifestyle
00:24:31.53\00:24:34.50
responsible is
estimated 24 billion dollars.
00:24:34.70\00:24:38.21
I have to look right
into the camera and say this:
00:24:38.51\00:24:40.38
twenty-four
billion... that's with a B...
00:24:40.78\00:24:43.95
billion dollars
in healthcare costs
00:24:44.15\00:24:48.25
because of a
sedentary lifestyle.
00:24:48.45\00:24:52.12
Now... Wow! This has been...
We could just go on forever.
00:24:52.32\00:24:55.56
Yes we can. Our time is
wrapping up, but I'm hoping
00:24:55.76\00:24:58.16
that people have
heard something that just
00:24:58.36\00:25:01.33
connects with them, that
inspires them to want to just
00:25:01.53\00:25:05.20
get out and just take a walk.
You know, I like to just get out
00:25:05.40\00:25:09.20
in the early
morning or in the evening.
00:25:09.40\00:25:11.67
You know, on some programs we
talk about how getting sunshine
00:25:11.87\00:25:15.48
and fresh air...
that good oxygen.
00:25:15.68\00:25:17.58
Getting that exercise and
water and how all these things
00:25:17.78\00:25:20.58
help us to just be healthier.
00:25:20.78\00:25:22.68
And you know, if you
just take a walk outside
00:25:22.88\00:25:25.22
you're doing - doing every-
thing - those four at one time:
00:25:25.42\00:25:28.52
fresh air, sunshine -
depending on where you live -
00:25:28.72\00:25:31.96
water, and that exercise. We
cannot live without it. Um-hmm.
00:25:32.16\00:25:36.83
You guys have been awesome.
This has been a great program,
00:25:37.13\00:25:39.30
great discussion. Thank
you. I hope that you can just go
00:25:39.50\00:25:41.77
and think about this.
You don't have to join a gym.
00:25:41.97\00:25:44.57
All you have to do is get
out. And if you're just sitting
00:25:44.77\00:25:46.74
around, just get up -
like was shared with us -
00:25:46.94\00:25:49.48
and just stand. That
can be exercise for you.
00:25:49.91\00:25:52.81
Until the next
time just keep moving.
00:25:53.01\00:25:55.88
We appreciate you joining
in with us and we'll see you
00:25:56.28\00:25:58.59
on our next program.
Thank you... thank you so much
00:25:58.79\00:26:01.36
for being with us.
Thank you for having us.
00:26:01.56\00:26:03.46
Thank you; appreciate it.
00:26:03.66\00:26:04.99
When God created Adam there
in a garden he was perfect,
00:26:06.83\00:26:11.50
but yet Genesis 2:8 says
that God placed Adam in a garden
00:26:11.90\00:26:15.57
to "dress it and keep it. "
00:26:15.77\00:26:17.97
This was his exercise.
00:26:18.17\00:26:20.48
Truly God knew from the
beginning what we needed.
00:26:20.68\00:26:23.41
Who would ever
imagine how a lack of exercise
00:26:23.81\00:26:27.78
impacts the human body? God did.
00:26:27.98\00:26:30.85
We learned today that
action is the law of our body.
00:26:31.15\00:26:34.66
We were designed for action.
00:26:35.06\00:26:37.56
It keeps us healthy. When
we don't move, things begin
00:26:37.76\00:26:41.46
to wear out. And in fact, some
things stop moving altogether
00:26:41.66\00:26:47.07
so to speak. Look...
maybe this will move you.
00:26:47.27\00:26:49.94
You cannot ignore a
movement in the world today.
00:26:50.34\00:26:53.88
With the rise of these beautiful
televisions with higher and
00:26:54.28\00:26:58.01
higher definition
and our "smart" phones
00:26:58.21\00:27:01.72
with all these apps and
social media it really gives us
00:27:01.92\00:27:05.55
a lot of activity.
Just leave it alone.
00:27:05.75\00:27:08.89
Well one could
safely conclude that you're
00:27:09.29\00:27:11.79
enjoying this trend. I am!
00:27:11.99\00:27:15.00
And maybe that you even
started this "movement. "
00:27:15.20\00:27:17.83
I don't want to brag or
anything. Well on this program
00:27:18.13\00:27:21.27
we're starting a new movement.
00:27:21.47\00:27:23.30
We're taking people
from sickness - that's you -
00:27:23.51\00:27:26.17
to health. That's God!
00:27:26.37\00:27:28.88
God was all health, and
He wants us to be healthy.
00:27:29.28\00:27:32.91
Guess how I know that?
00:27:33.21\00:27:35.05
Let me guess: Third John 2!
00:27:35.25\00:27:37.69
"Beloved, I wish above all
things that thou mayest prosper
00:27:37.99\00:27:41.46
and be in health.
" The Bible says it.
00:27:41.66\00:27:44.33
I'm Rico Hill; I'm Sickness.
00:27:44.49\00:27:46.59
Follow God's plan and
be healthy. Maranatha.
00:27:47.00\00:27:49.93
