www.ncpad.org Hi folks, Gene here from the Gene and Dave show. Well this is the second week of NCPADs 14-Week to a Healthier You program and I feel better already. Mostly its because Im getting a grip on whats most important in my life and that is my life, my health, how I take care of myself. This week I really learned about exercise. I spent some time over here at Saint Davids Wheelchair Fitness Center. Here you see me doing some lat pulls, Ive got some bands around my arm, straps around my wrist rather, to connect me to the lat pull machine as I have no grip in my wrists or hands. This is a good strength building exercise, but I use it to straighten out my arms, my shoulders, really stretch my rib cage and that really feels good. Here I am on the pec deck, again a strength building exercise helpful for my anterior deltoids as well. But my favorite machine is over here on the hand cycle. I could spend 30-40 minutes on this bad boy before I really get tired out. And it really feels like Ive done something once I get done with this. In terms of nutrition, well I made a big change here, Im cutting back on cheeses, perhaps a bit too many calories in my omelettes I think. So Im trying something new, I tried pancakes, got to get those whole grains in. But instead of using whole wheat flour I used spelt. Its actually more nutritious than whole wheat and to me it actually tasted better, So that worked out pretty good. This weeks quote is from Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. who said <b>...</b>
