Shannan Bergtholdt, the health promotion program manager at the Health and Wellness Center, helps a client. Bergtholdt uses a portion plate to educate the client on a proper diet. Consuming a diet comprising primarily fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy while limiting added sugars and fats is also a great way of keeping healthy and managing weight.

HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE -- Maintaining good health and fitness can be daunting while on a profile, but the Health and Wellness Center at Holloman Air Force Base has the staff and resources to overcome the challenge.

HAWC will answer questions and build confidence in airmen who feel they cannot do much of anything because they are limited by a profile, but there are things they can do to be active, said Shannan Bergtholdt, health promotion program manager.

Aqua jogging is a great workout for airmen who have injuries to their lower extremities, said Kevin Fallon, fitness program manager. A foam belt fits around the person's waist that suspends them in the water, which provides resistance to the legs as they move through the pool. The treadmill, elliptical and a high-intensity walk can be good alternatives for a person on a profile that restricts high impact activities.

The resources at HAWC can help airmen understand the different workouts available, along with information for a proper diet.

Many of the classes offered at the fitness center, like spin class, body pump and body combat, are modifiable based on profile restrictions and still allow airmen to get a great workout, Bergtholdt said.

"I offer one-on-one sessions for airmen who cannot make the classes and need extra help during their profile, which has produced more than a 90 percent pass rate for those airmen," said Fallon.

Often, airmen are placed on a profile, then gain weight because their activity level goes down dramatically, Bergtholdt said. To help combat this, HAWC can offer a tailored program that includes structured workouts and a nutritional guide.

Consuming a diet comprising primarily fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy while limiting added sugars and fats is also a great way of keeping healthy and managing weight, Bergtholdt said.

ALL DONE FITNESS MOTIVATIONAL TRAINING - Video

I'm one of those women who likes reading men's health and fitness magazines. Though they all promise bodies and sex lives that most of us will never have, I'm drawn to the funny, self-deprecating tone, the functional workout tips and the emphasis on sweat, competition and strength training.

Yes, women's magazines have these elements but on a vastly diminished scale. They're fluffier, in part because beauty products and clothes are considered health-related, but also because women are still plagued by the irrational fear of "bulking up."

We won't get huge without added testosterone, but some magazines still perpetuate the notion that men should build insanely huge muscles and women need to lose fat.

A recent Muscle & Fitness magazine cover, for example, promised "75 of the Best Muscle Building Exercises."

By contrast, Muscle & Fitness Hers, the female counterpart to the bodybuilder mag, featured thinspiration, including "The Skinny on Fat Loss" and "The Best Natural Appetite Suppressants."

The majority of advertisements touted fat-burning supplements, stimulants and weight loss products.

Men's Health and Women's Health magazines have plenty of overlapping content.

Both recognize that both genders compete in marathons and triathlons, want great abs in 15 minutes and need nutritional guidance. But the editors use considerably different voices to reach their male and female readers.

"For Women's Health, it's a confiding, challenging, sisterly thing -- equal parts encouragement, sympathy and advice. It comes from a place of 'just us girls,'" said David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men's Health and editorial director of Women's Health.

"Guys tend to be a bit more bracing with their counsel, with a healthy dose of humor -- plus self-denigration -- thrown into the mix," Zinczenko added. "First we laugh at ourselves, then we laugh at you, then we deliver the goods straight up, with an expert chaser."

24-05-2012 16:47 Chen style Tai Chi is the first and original form of Tai Chi. We are proud to offer it here at Morning Crane. What the students can expect to learn is the basic form or the Lao Jia form, which is the oldest form of traditional Tai Chi. It was originally a martial art and is still used in Chen villages as a martial art. Here at Morning Crane, even though we teach the application, our main focus is on the health and vitality of the student. Basically Tai Chi is a moving form of Qi gong but is much more complex than Qi gong. When you hear people practicing Tai Chi, the common thought is that's what old people do in the park. But if you come in, you'll see that it actually presents a little bit more of a challenge. The classes are mixed with beginning and advanced students but what is great here at Morning Crane, is those advanced students can help assist the beginning students. When you come to class you are taught gentle silk reeling exercises, and those exercises basically help to warm up all the major joints of the body. And then those exercises actually roll over into your Tai Chi form, and then from there we go through the entire form even if you are brand-new. I pull the new students aside and I start with them from scratch. I think it is imperative for the new students to see the whole form every week because eventually when I go to teach them a new posture they will have some familiarity with it. We offer Tai Chi classes a few times during the week. If you go to our ...
