WELLNESS and
HEALTHY LIVING
Simply Well
As a form of nurturance and rebalancing, and as an aid to healing, massage is hard to beat. It isn't necessary to have formal training. In "Welcome Necessary, Healing Touch-The Gift of Massage" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., offers you numerous suggestions for self-massage and exercises that can be done with a partner.
Keeping Fit
Running and bicycling are complementary exercises that enable you to cross-train for better cardiovascular benefit and lower risk of overuse injuries. While running emphasizes the rear thigh and calf muscles, bicycling emphasizes the front thigh muscles, calf and shin muscles and activates upper body muscles. In "Bicycling at its Best" Wayne L. Westcott, Ph.D. covers important considerations for function and comfort, warm up and cool down suggestions, and how to make your ride more interesting and productive.
