Does cardio makes you sweat and burns calories? Yes, of course. But my point to make here today is your participation in a daily or weekly cardio routine for months and months, years and years will have a tremendous impact on your cardiovascular strength. What is cardiovascular strength? Cardio means heart. And vascular is a definition for arteries and veins.
Your heart beats on average, 100,000 times per day. Your heart is a muscle. It contracts and relaxes just like any other muscle in your body. To pump blood through your arteries and veins from your chest all the way to the tips of your fingers and toes, your heart has to do some tough work!

I know you, and I know you have goals, aspirations and you base your level of achievements off of how they make you feel. Attending an exercise class like yoga, pilates, or boot camp can give you a sense of accomplishment and confidence that you’ve participated in an activity that will benefit you and your overall health. And without all the time and planning that goes into workout creation which some people love (like me!) but others hate.
What’s important to pay attention to is what categories of exercises these classes fall under including: aerobic, weight training, stabilization and flexibility. Some of the exercise classes mentioned in today’s episode fall under more than one category. So the question is we’ll answer in today’s episode is, what group classes are safe, recommended and what other forms of exercise do you need to incorporate into your routine that are missing from these group classes?

We will all have osteoarthritis of every joint in our body by the time we’re 60 and maybe even earlier. No matter how well we take care of our bodies. The reality is, we’re not trying to avoid the development of osteoarthritis, we’re trying to avoid the symptoms that come with it. What we health practitioners pay attention to is the severity of the arthritis and whether or not our patients are symptomatic meaning whether or not they have joint pain.

Today we're going to be talking about anterior knee pain, specifically patellofemoral pain syndrome. The risk factors, the prevalence, how to treat it, and what to expect.
Now there are some gaps in the research. Not all people with patellofemoral pain syndrome will respond to the same intervention. There's not a one-size-fits-all treatment approach when it comes to patellofemoral pain syndrome. So this is why it's very important that you seek medical advice as soon as possible, schedule a visit with your physical therapist so that they can prescribe you with a treatment program as it specifically relates to you and your lifestyle.

As I’m describing all my shortcomings, it’s easy for me to talk about. To analyzed what I could have improved on. How I could have handled a situation differently. Have you found yourself asking you the same questions? When do we reach a point where we feel like we’re enough? Where we stop where we are and just enjoy the place we’re in now? Today. Just breathe and relax for a minute. Do you feel like you’re consistently evaluating your performance like I am? At your workplace? As a friend? As a girlfriend? A wife? As a freaking common citizen? It’s exhausting. I’m tired.
