Download or read book Physical Fitness written by Robert Duffy and published by BX.Plans Ltd.. This book was released on 2020-08-03 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We just don’t walk enough anymore. Wheels take us everywhere we want to go, whether on a long trip or just half a mile, or even less. Yet we still want to eat plenty, often consuming far more calories than we burn in exercise. There are gyms of course, but they can be expensive, and you have to sign up often months ahead. The gym may not be nearby, so there is the time spent just getting there and back to take into consideration, as well as the extra fuel costs. But you want to be fit and know that taking regular exercise will improve your health; you haven’t time for long country walks… So how do you go about getting as fit as possible? The exercises contained in this book are your answer. They don’t require expensive equipment, just your body and enough room to stretch and turn. They were designed originally by the Royal Canadian Air Force, and are meant to ensure that even after a relatively prolonged period of inactivity you can spring quickly into action when required. They are designed for those with sedentary jobs, perhaps who are city dwellers who aren’t particularly interested in joining a sports’ club or taking part in organised sport. We all have to run for a bus from time to time, or chase a toddler heading for the gate, so we need to be fit and able. If we are older, we can end up fighting middle-aged spread, but be proactive and step in before it becomes a problem. Whatever your situation, these exercises will help to ensure you increase your levels of health and fitness. The exercises are graded, and progress from the easiest, moving on to those of average difficulty, through to some which require more effort. How quickly you progress is entirely up to you, your degree of motivation and the time you have available. Following this regime will not turn you into an Olympic athlete, but if you want to get fit, look fit and stay fit, then these exercises are for you.
Download or read book The One Minute Workout written by Martin Gibala and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, the solution to the #1 reason we don’t exercise: time. Everyone has one minute. A decade ago, Martin Gibala was a young researcher in the field of exercise physiology—with little time to exercise. That critical point in his career launched a passion for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), allowing him to stay in shape with just a few minutes of hard effort. It also prompted Gibala to conduct experiments that helped launch the exploding science of ultralow-volume exercise. Now that he’s the worldwide guru of the science of time-efficient workouts, Gibala’s first book answers the ultimate question: How low can you go? Gibala’s fascinating quest for the answer makes exercise experts of us all. His work demonstrates that very short, intense bursts of exercise may be the most potent form of workout available. Gibala busts myths (“it’s only for really fit people”), explains astonishing science (“intensity trumps duration”), lays out time-saving life hacks (“exercise snacking”), and describes the fascinating health-promoting value of HIIT (for preventing and reversing disease). Gibala’s latest study found that sedentary people derived the fitness benefits of 150 minutes of traditional endurance training with an interval protocol that involved 80 percent less time and just three minutes of hard exercise per week. Including the eight best basic interval workouts as well as four microworkouts customized for individual needs and preferences (you may not quite want to go all out every time), The One-Minute Workout solves the number-one reason we don’t exercise: lack of time. Because everyone has one minute.

Download or read book Radiation Safety in Nuclear Medicine written by Gopal B. Saha and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of all pertinent information on radiation safety applicable in nuclear medicine and research using radioactive materials. Radiation exposure causes harm to humans and is strictly controlled by several regulatory authorities (NRC, FDA, EPA, DOT, etc). The practice of nuclear medicine involves the use of radioactive materials in patients and research, and is well regulated by these agencies. However, information on radiation safety practice in nuclear medicine and research areas is scattered throughout the literature and federal registers. For busy nuclear technologists and professionals, it is quite time consuming to look for and acquire specific information and instructions to follow in radiation-related occasions and incidents. This guide provides ready-made, handy information on radiation safety as required in the practice of nuclear medicine, presented in a concise form for easy understanding and quick reference related to a given situation and/or incident. This is an ideal reference for nuclear medicine physicians, nuclear medicine technologists, and researchers using radioactive materials.

This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warmth, Wonder, Excitement, Passion, Creativity: are these what you're missing? Learn the rules of creation and destruction! Understand Yin and Yang and you've grasped the rudiments of Wisdom. Yang provides the creativity, the warmth, the sparkle, the life, the 'spirit' - but also endings and beginnings, war and upheaval - and what happens to you when you see your baby's first smile. In Traditional Chinese medicine, yang deficiency is a syndrome which can be treated. Nations also go through periods of yang deficiency - often harder to get out of and requiring inspirational leaders. This book takes you from your physical symptoms right on out into international affairs of state. Part One of the book starts with explaining how, though we sometimes feel yang deficient, actually we may be normal. There are 4 general types of people - find out which you are! Two of them just aren't very yang, in which case, relax: you're OK! Then there are two main health situations where YOU may think you're yang deficient but actually your problem is something else. Clear those up and you'll be back to normal. After explaining how yin and yang make up the universe, and the four rules passed down to us from ancient China, the book takes you into the mental and physical signs of deficient yang: good to know. Next, it shows you the different ways there are to reduce yang deficiency safely, including advice about what to eat: for example, how both yin and yang foods can support yang. There are chapters on both excess yang and on what the longer term consequences are of weak yang. In Part Two, the focus shifts to how you express your yang energy in the world, and the dangers of weak yang for nation states. There's a chapter on how to use yang energy here safely, and finally a chapter on how yin and yang manifest at different stages of life and in the life of a nation.
