Interval Training on the Beach

Interval training is a great form of exercise to get in shape. By incorporating short burst of high intensity exercise with slow recovery periods at lower intensity you can improve your performance. Many people have heard the term high intensity interval training (HIIT). Maybe it’s time to give it a try!

By varying the intensity of your workouts you benefit both aerobic and anaerobic training at the same time. It helps you improve speed, endurance and strength.

While the weather is nice during the summer, our top rated Freehold chiropractor shares how he takes advantage of the beach to do interval training:

Here are some great benefits of interval training:

Takes Less Time: It’s the most efficient form of cardio exercise because it delivers the benefits in a shorter amount of time than doing a regular cardio workout. One study states doing just 3 HIIT workouts a week at 27 minutes provides the same results as 5 times per week hour long program of a regular cardio workout. Another study shows Just 2 weeks of interval training provides aerobic improvement equal to 6 to 8 weeks of traditional exercise.
Weight Loss: Not only do you burn more calories, but in the 24 hours after doing interval training your body produces around 450% more Human Growth Hormone (HGH). This increases your caloric burning, helps you lose more weight and slows down the aging process.
Increases Happiness and decreases stress: Intervals increases your endorphins which is the happy hormone. This hormone is why many runners get a “runners high” and feel happy after exercise.
Speed and Endurance improvements: You burn lactic acid more efficiently during interval training. This allows you to exercise longer and faster.
Heart Health: You maximize your cardiovascular benefits, decreasing your risk of heard disease and high blood pressure.
Get sick less: Interval training reduces cholesterol, boosts your immune system and decreases inflammation.
Less Boring: I find that regular running can get boring. By changing the intensity it changes up the routine. Running on the beach ads other benefits by being on the sand. Also the stress relieving benefits of hearing the waves, the sea gulls and fresh air of the ocean.

Try doing some interval running and let us know how it works for you!

So What Was the Straw that Broke Your Back?

The majority of times people come into our Freehold Chiropractic office with pain and they don’t know what was the cause. They either tell me that they woke up with the pain, they bent over to pick up something they dropped on the floor or something like I just got up from my chair and couldn’t move. So what was the straw that broke your back?

Many times there isn’t an accident, trauma or other event that is THE cause. One has to think of every little thing from the time you were born that accumulates stress into your body. When you were born the doctor pulled on your

head and neck to deliver you. Learning to walk you probably fell a couple thousand times. Do you have brother and sisters? If so, did you ever fight, push each other over? What do you think the effects of sitting at desks at schools or carrying heavy backpacks can have on your neck and back? Do you play sports and experience injuries? Sitting at a desk using a computer all day puts pressure on the neck, shoulders and back. Did you know there is a new condition called “text neck”? Think of texting on your phone with your head bent forward and down looking at that phone. Have you ever had a fender bender? Just a 3 MPH bumper hit is enough to cause a whiplash injury. Do you sleep on your stomach? If you sleep on your side or back do you use proper support with a pillow? When you lift things do you always bend with your knees using proper form? How about when you are exercising are you lifting the correct ways? If you are a woman and wear high heels, do you know the imbalances it causes throughout your legs and spine? Everybody wears shoes that aren’t properly fitted for them which causes foot pronation, which when walking like this is like driving a car with misaligned tires.

So, there is no straw that broke your back! It’s the accumulative effects of everything you have done since you were born that has built up until your body cant take it anymore. Imagine never brushing your teeth or going to the dentist until you have pain or rotting teeth, driving your cars for years before getting oil, lube, filter or wheels aligned and breaks adjusted OR never having your air conditioner or heater checked until they break down. Instead you know it makes sense to do things to maintain your car, your teeth and appliances. Your spine is the most important part of your body as it protects your nervous system which controls all functions of your body. Doesn’t it make sense to maintain it? It deserves the best care to maintain and prevent problems. So don’t wait for the straw that broke your back! Chiropractors are the only doctors that help prevent and maintain your body and health! When was your last adjustment?

Freehold Chiropractor Shares Why Your Body Needs Water

There is no better time than now to discuss why your body needs water, than while we are experiencing one of the worst heat waves in decades in the United States. Today in Freehold, NJ we are expecting a high of around 103 and boy what I would do to be sitting on the edge of the water at the beach right now, but I will be doing what I love the most today.. helping patients be healthy without the use of drugs or surgery.

Freehold Chiropractor Shares Why It's Important to Drink Water — Freehold Chiropractor Shares Why It’s Important to Drink Water

Water is of major importance for our body to function and be healthy. Roughly 70% of our body is made up of water. The lungs are nearly 90% water. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water by weight, as is the brain; body fat contains 10% water and bone has 22% water, and about 83% of our blood is water.

Water is so important and basic to life and health. All the cells in our body are composed of water. Water is vital to dissolve so many substances by allowing our cells to use valuable nutrients, minerals, and chemicals.

Water in the blood stream is used to metabolize and transport carbohydrates and proteins our body gets from food. Equally important is the use of water to transport waste material out of our bodies to detoxify. Water also helps to protect and keep our joints moist.

Every single muscle, organ, tissue and cell in your body needs water!

Do you think it’s a coincidence that the planet also around 70% water? What happens to the planet if there is a lack of water? Look at areas that go through extended drought: The ground cracks, plants die, animal life dies.. nothing can exist.

As a freehold chiropractor, another analogy I use is that your body is like a sponge. Normally, a wet sponge is soft, bends and is elastic. It is hard to make it lose it’s shape. If you don’t use the sponge for a long time and just leave it on the counter top, it dries out and gets brittle. Try to bend that dried out sponge and it starts to tear and break. The tissues of your body are the same way. If your body gets dehydrated, the muscles, tendons and ligaments will tear, strain and sprain much more easily resulting in more aches and pains.

Reading a Tri-County Clinic of Chiropractic‘s blog today, the chiropractor stated a great point: “Think about this, the brain consists of 90% water right? If you do not get enough water to your body, your brain could not function well and that could result in a headache or migraine. So, the next time you feel fatigue and a headache, it may be a sign of dehydration so try drinking some water to relieve it.”

Unfortunately, most people DO NOT drink enough water. Your body is dehydrated, and you wonder why you feel sluggish, weak, have aches and pain, or sick all the time.

Coffee does not equal water, neither does juice, soda, alcohol, energy drinks, seltzer or other products you are consuming. Actually in many instances, these products are dehydrating you! Coffee has 70 to 80 mg of caffeine. Caffeine dehydrates your body! I have read articles that say for each cup of coffee you drink you need to drink an extra glass of water. But many of the research articles I have read say for each cup of coffee, it pulls out 4 to 8 glasses of water…. so you would have to drink 4 to 8 glasses of water to make up for EACH cup of coffee you drink.

I see many patients in Monmouth County, New Jersey from the towns of Freehold, Marlboro, Morganville, Howell, Jackson, Millstone, Colts Neck and Manalapan, NJ. One of the first things I tell patients to help improve their health is start drinking water to hydrate the body, and cut out products like coffee and other dehydrating substances. It’s amazing what one little simple thing can do to transform the health of patients.
