A NAGGING QUESTION: SHOULD WOMEN PUSH THEIR MEN TO EXERCISE (AND VICE-VERSA)?

Warren Memorial Wellness mscott@wmhospital.com 905 2nd Street Friend, NE 68349 http://www.wmhospital.com 402-947-2541 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE A NAGGING QUESTION: SHOULD WOMEN PUSH THEIR MEN TO EXERCISE (AND VICE-VERSA)? (FRIEND, NE May 9, 2012) - Did you know that behind many healthy and physically fit men there may be a nagging woman? That's the finding of a new study from the University of Lincoln in England, which reports that inactive men are more likely to turn to exercise if nagged by their significant others to lead a healthier lifestyle. An earlier study from Surrey University also showed that both men and women are more likely to exercise regularly if urged by their partners. "There are several conclusions that can be drawn from this research," says Matt Scott, a personal trainer at Warren Memorial Wellness in Friend, NE.

EXERCISE WILL EASE PAINFUL JOINTS

Lincoln Impact Fitness matt@lincolnimpact.com 14850 Old Cheney Road Walton, NE 68461 www.lincolnimpact.com 402-937-8FIT (8348) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LINCOLN PERSONAL TRAINER: EXERCISE WILL EASE PAINFUL JOINTS (LINCOLN, NE September 8, 2011) - Research has shown that regular physical activity can help reduce pain, swelling and stiffness of arthritis. However, a new study suggests that the majority of 46 million arthritis sufferers in the United States are not getting enough - or any - exercise. The just-released findings from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine show that only 13 percent of men and 8 percent of women afflicted with various forms of arthritis meet federal guidelines of 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity, low-impact activity per week. "Either these people are not aware of benefits of physical activity, or they are afraid it will exacerbate their symptoms," says Matt Scott, a personal trainer at Lincoln Impact Fitness. "...
