A COMPLETE EXERCISE PROGRAM
How often, how long and how hard you exercise, and what kinds of exercises you do should be determined by what you are trying to accomplish. Your goals, your present fitness level, age, health, skills, interest and convenience are among the factors you should consider. For example, an athlete training for high-level competition would follow a different program than a person whose goals are good health and the ability to meet work and recreational needs. Your exercise program should include something from each of the four basic fitness components
described previously. Each workout should begin with a warm up and end with a cool down. As a general rule, space your workouts throughout the week and avoid consecutive days of hard exercise. Here are the amounts of activity necessary for the average healthy person to maintain a minimum level of overall fitness. Included are some of the popular exercises for each category. WARM UP 5 -10 minutes of exercise such as walking, slow jogging, knee lifts, arm circles or trunk rotations. Low intensity movements that simulate movements to be used in the activity can also be included in the warm up. MUSCULAR STRENGTH a minimum of two, 20 minute sessions per week that include exercises for all the major muscle groups. Lifting weights is the most effective way to increase strength. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE at least three, 30 minute sessions each week that include exercises such as calisthenics, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, and weight training for all the major muscle groups. CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE at least three, 20 minute workouts of continuous aerobic exercise each week. Working out on your Treadmill is a good way to obtain this aerobic activity. Other popular aerobic conditioning activities include brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, rope jumping, rowing, cross-country skiing, and some continuous action games like racquetball and handball. FLEXIBILITY 10 -12 minutes of daily stretching exercises performed slowly, without a bouncing motion. This can be included after a warm up or during a cool down. Refer to pages 27 and 28 for a list of total body stretches. COOL DOWN a minimum of 5 -10 minutes of slow walking or lower intensity elliptical exercise, combined with stretching.

MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE

(see chart on page 26)

Heart rate is widely accepted as a good method for measuring intensity during running, swimming, cycling, and other aerobic activities. Exercise that doesn't raise your heart rate to a certain level and keep it there for 20 minutes won't contribute significantly to cardiovascular fitness. The heart rate you should maintain is called your Target Heart Rate. There are several ways of arriving at this figure. One of the simplest is: maximum heart rate (220 - age) x 70%. Thus, the target heart rate for a 40 year-old would be 126. In this example for this
40 year old to get a cardiovascular effect, the individual would need to keep their heart rate at or above 126 beats per minute to get a cardiovascular effect. Note: Although 70% was used in this example, the heart rate range needed to achieve results falls between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. If you are just beginning your exercise program, your target heart rate range should be roughly at 60% of your maximum heart rate. As you become more conditioned (or if you are already in good cardiovascular shape) you can increase your target heart rate to 70%-85% of your maximum heart rate. Remember, your target heart rate is only a guide. When checking heart rate during a workout, take your pulse within five seconds after interrupting exercise because it starts to go down once you stop moving. Count pulse for 10 seconds and multiply by six to get the per-minute rate. Remember, your New Balance Treadmill also comes with pulse sensors located on the Console. When used properly, the unit pulse sensors can help you to determine your estimated heart rate. To do so: 1. Push the start button on your Computer. 2. Gently grab both metal pulse sensors on both handlebars. Wait 6 seconds. 3. Your estimated heart rate range will be displayed on screen. Check the chart on the following page to see if you are within your range according to your age. When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided. By using the chart on the next page you can see where your heart rate falls in the minimum and maximum target zones. The above are guidelines, people with any medical limitations should discuss this formula with their physician.

CLOTHING

All exercise clothing should be loose-fitting to permit freedom of movement, and should make the wearer feel comfortable and self-assured. Never wear rubberized or plastic clothing, such garments interfere with the evaporation of perspiration and can cause body temperature to rise to dangerous levels. We recommend wearing a workout shoe with a rubberized sole unless instructed otherwise.

2. Calf and Achilles Stretch
Stand approximately one arms length away from a wall or chair with your feet hip-width apart. Keeping your toes pointed forward, move one leg in close to the chair while extending the other leg behind you. Bending the leg closest to the chair and keeping the other leg straight, place your hands on the chair. Keep the heel of the back leg on the ground and move your hips forward. Slowly lean forward from the ankle, keeping your back leg straight until you feel a stretch in your calf muscles. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite leg.
3. Overhead/Triceps Stretch
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Lift one arm overhead and bend your elbow, reaching down behind your head with your hand toward the opposite shoulder blade. Walk your fingertips down your back as far as you can. Hold this position. Reach up with your opposite hand and grasp your flexed elbow. Gently assist the stretch by pulling on the elbow. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite arm.

4. Back Stretch

Stand with your legs shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Bend forward from your waist with your arms extending loosely in front of your body. Gently bend from the waist flexing your body as far forward as it will go. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Straighten up and repeat.
5. Standing Hamstrings Stretch
Stand with your legs hip-width apart. Extend one leg out in front of you and keep that foot flat against the ground. With your hands resting lightly on your thighs, bend your back leg and lean forward slightly from your hips until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh. Be sure to lean forward from the hip joint rather than bending at your waist. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat for the opposite leg.
6. Buttocks, Hips and Abdominal Stretch
Lay flat on your back with your hips relaxed against the floor. Bend one leg at the knee. Keeping both shoulders flat on the floor, gently grasp the bent knee with your hands and pull it over your body and towards the ground. You should feel a stretch in your hips, abdominals and lower back. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and release. Repeat for opposite side.

7. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit on the floor and bend your legs so that the soles of your feet are together. Place your elbows on your knees. Lean forward from the waist and press down lightly on the inside of your knees. You should feel a stretch in the muscles of your inside thigh. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and release.

8. Arm Pullback

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and toes pointing forward and with your knees slightly bent. Let your arms hang relaxed on either side of your body. Expand your chest and pull your shoulders back. Bend your elbows slightly and clasp your hands behind your back. Slowly straighten your arms as you lift your hands upward. Raise your hands upward until you feel mild tension in your shoulder and chest region. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Lower your arms to their original position and bend your elbows. Release your hands and return them to your sides.

Product strategy. Because customers expect company representatives to be experts in their products, salespeople must be able to explain how a product or service fits and benefits the customers business. If the product is a copy machine, a sales rep might say to a potential customer, This product makes 200 copies a minute, and it will increase office productivity because you wont have to wait for copies being made. A sales rep also must be aware of the products position in the marketplace, which can range from high end to dollarstore quality. Customer strategy. Businesses need to identify and clearly define their target markets and to profile the customers falling within them, including their needs, wants, and urgencies; their expectations of the business; and what motivates people in that industry to make certain decisions. In the selling process, says Morgan, customers like choices, and they expect you to be an advisor to them. Presentation strategy. Written and verbal presentations PowerPoints, sales letters, and brochures must be well constructed, deliver a clear message, and maintain the customers attention. This re-

that make what you are talking about even more interesting. Words she likes include: discovery, experience, exactly, delightful, and spectacular. Service and after-the-sale strategy. This involves not only supporting the product or service, but also telling the customer what the business is going to do to follow up. Once you get the sale, its that service and after-the-sale strategy that keeps the relationship going, says Morgan. Businesses should arrange to periodically visit their customers to check in and answer any product questions. When you do that, you are opening the door for more opportunities for repeat and referral business, says Morgan. Morgan was born in the Philadelphia suburbs. Her father never finished high school, but rose within the close-knit candy industry, where he was well respected. He worked for several candy companies, ending his career with Just Born, and developed many different flavors of jelly beans. Morgan studied business at Centenary College in Hackettstown. After first being a secretary and administrative assistant, she ended up as a customer trainer for Xerox in Illinois and New Jersey, and then as a supervisor of trainers. Towards the end of her tenure with Xerox, she became the first sales rep working for the company in New Jersey, but after a couple of years decided to leave. Her next venture was a business
in the pet supply industry that she started with her next door neighbor in 1976. He bought a truckload of dog food, and I said Id help him sell it, recalls Morgan. That relationship led to Morgan forming, in 1976, Animal Brands, a doing business as for her company, Califon Connection. Animal Brands is a manufacturers representation agency that serves the pet industry as an independent sales contractor. Her husband joined her in the business in 1989. As the pet industry changed over the years, Morgan and her husband wanted to diversify. In 2001 she started the Russmor Marketing Group, the business name for her teaching, public speaking, and consulting, which has included writing training manuals and serving as a counselor for entrepreneurs and small business owners through the Small Business Development Centers in New Jersey. About two-and-a-half years ago the Morgans together started Russmor Marine, a dealership for selling floating docks to private individuals, commercial clients, and college rowing teams. They got interested in this business four years ago when they bought a property on a lake whose dock had sunk to the bottom of the lake. When they went out to buy a floating dock, they learned that a dealership was available. Referring to the various commercial endeavors that she and her husband have developed, Morgan observes, You could say we have entrepreneurial spirits. Michele Alperin

filling up with orders from China, try looking at who your customers are here. Remember, Chan realized that if American colleges bought text books, so did Chinese colleges. Companies here can start by evaluating what their products and services do for the domestic audience, then do a little leg work to see if that niche is being filled overseas. We just need to stretch for the higher fruit. Its all about motivation, Chan says. Its about paying attention. Scott Morgan

Half-Priced Houses? Dont You Believe It
omewhere around 1 a.m. real estate commercials start making you offers you would be stupid to refuse: Buy houses at government auctions for as little as $100; gobble up distressed properties with no money down and for half their market value and sell them for enough profit to earn a yacht full of Playboy Playmates like the guy selling his secrets on TV. Stephen Waniak, broker for Keller Williams Cornerstone Realty in Belle Meade, would like to remind would-be real estate investors of the cliche about things that sound too good to be true. There are ways to make money in distressed real estate and there are ways to buy properties for less than market value, he says. But lenders will guard the properties on which they hold liens. Sheriffs offices will ask you for 20 percent when they hold sales on foreclosed properties. And you will almost never find a livable house going for 50 cents on the dollar. Besides, if your goal is to find a good deal on a piece of property, does it matter whether the house is actually in foreclosure? Waniak will present How To Buy Foreclosed Properties on Saturday, June 27, at 9 a.m. at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor. Cost: $60. Visit www.mccc.edu or call 609-5703311. Waniak, who grew up in Absecon, studied at Rutgers but ultimately left for a career in real estate. That was 26 years ago, when he got into the sales end. He eventually started his own company, sold it, and became a broker, working with several national firms, most recently h GMAC Gloria Nilson. When it comes to buying foreclosed real estate, misconceptions and pitfalls are everywhere. The biggest misconception Waniak finds is that people think they are going to walk into a sheriffs sale with no money and walk out with a massive new home. In truth, he says, to walk out of a sheriffs sale with a property in tow you will need to cover 20 percent of the purchase price with cash (or certified funds) and be able to close within 30 days. There also is no home in-

Trenton. They are definitely where I get my strength from, Colon says. My mom always looked adversity in the face. My dad always encouraged me. I pull my strength from the two of them. I dont think they would have climbed mountains but my passion and my compassion derives from them, especially my mom. Colons passion to raise the flag and don the hiking boot against both Parkinsons and Alzheimers sprung out of her own parental concern. Youve got kids flipping around on MySpace, and you just want to get a little bit of an understanding of what they are getting into. So I signed on, she recalls. It was this same kind of handson child rearing that led her into the karate ghia that she now fastens with a black belt. All the boys loved karate from as early as age four, says Colon. And one day, while watching the lessons, another mother and I decided to get involved and take a class. That was more than 10 years ago. The other mother soon dropped out, but Colon became passionate and stayed on. In fact, when we caught her amid all the Kilimanjaro training and preparation, she was planning a three day vacation to karate camp to shoot for her third degree black belt. The boys have almost gotten over their embarrassment of having mother on the mat. But Colons just-to-monitor entry into MySpace was to expand

her life in ways never imagined. Grabbing those few moments of relative calm during her daycare days, she went online and began meeting friends. One of them was Jim Brenner from the New York area. In 2006 Colon was preparing for participation in the three-day Sixty Mile Walk for Breast Cancer. At that time, she learned that Brenner, at the young age of 37, had been diagnosed with early onset Parkinsons. Completing the breast cancer 60-miler, she began scouring the net and found New Yorks annual Parkinsons Unity Walk. With some hard browsing on MySpace, she formed a 27-person team calling themselves Jims Gems, complete with T-shirts.

Where spa dentistry is also high-tech dentistry
r. Donna Vagnozzi-Buccis patients are well acquainted with her offices spa-like atmosphere and caring staff. But behind the amenities and smiles is an arsenal of technology. CEREC is one of the most useful advances available to todays dentist. According to Dr. Vagnozzi-Bucci, its the future of dentistry. CEREC allows us to scan the tooth and computergenerate onlays, inlays and crowns, she explained. This turns what used to be two or three visits into about a two-hour procedure. According to Dr. VagnozziBucci, scanning the tooth is not only more comfortable than an impression, but also enables our doctors to get a precise render-
ing of the tooth. The crown is then milled from strong porcelain right in the office. Theres no need for temporary crowns and repeat office visits with CEREC. Theyre strong and look gorgeous, Dr. Vagnozzi-Bucci added. And, theyre metal-free. Dr. Vagnozzi-Bucci is committed to providing her patients with top-notch care in a state-of-theart office. Her sterilization system is hospital-grade. She uses digital x-rays so theres minimal radiation and a crystal-clear rendering. We can diagnose more than we ever could with digital x-rays, says Dr. Vagnozzi-Bucci. These, along with the DIAGNO-dent, a laser unit that detects cavities before they can be seen on an x-ray or felt the traditional way with an instrument, enable us to detect and take care of cavities when theyre smallest. Therefore, theres less chance of long-term breakage, which would require more costly treatment. Part of a dental exam at Dr. Vagnozzi-Buccis office is the oral cancer screening. They use the VELscope to detect cancers and ulcerations early. VELscopes blue light can find lesions that cant be seen with the naked eye. With all the high tech, theres still plenty of soft-touch. Every visit is a chance for Dr. VagnozziBucci and her team to educate their patients on preventive dentistry. Each team member ensures the patients comfort and listens to the patients concerns. Her knowledgeable staff also helps patients maximize their dental insurance benefits and can direct patients to various financing options if necessary. An endodontist and a periodontist are available in the office for patients needing root canal, periodontal surgery and implants. Ive been practicing 21 years, and the technology has never been better, she said. However, no matter how high-tech weve become Ive built my practice on listening to people, honoring their wishes and treating them like family. I invite you to come experience our one-of-a-kind office.

he Chapman Stick is not a guitar. It is not a bass, and not any other stringed instrument. But it has made a huge impact on music, especially through the efforts of Tony Levin and Michael Bernier and their group, Stickmen. The Chapman Stick is a stringed instrument that, in actuality, works like a keyboard instrument. Emmett Chapman, an English guitarist, in 1969 developed a technique known as free hands, through which both hands are parallel to the fretboard, allowing for different tunings and voicings. He began working on the Stick later that year and didnt begin marketing the new instrument until 1974. The Stick looks like a wide version of the fretboard of an electric guitar, with 8, 10, or 12 strings. It is considerably longer and wider than a guitar fretboard, however. A guitarist or bassist plays his or her instrument with one hand on top of the fretboard and one hand, in reverse position, plucking or strumming. On a Stick, both hands sound notes by striking the strings against the fingerboard just behind the appropriate frets for the desired notes. For this reason, it can sound many more notes at once than most other stringed instruments, making it more comparable to a keyboard than to other stringed instruments. Stick players such as Levin and Bernier can play bass, chords, and melody at the same time. A band with two Sticks doesnt really need much else as a result. Although, others such as guitarist Stanley Jordan, who uses a technique on his guitar that employs a technique very close to what is known as free hands, his sound, while distinctive, is not the same as that of the Stick. The Stickmen, featuring Levin on stick and bass, Bernier on stick and guitar, and drummer Pat Mastelotto, will perform on Saturday, June 27, at Pettoranello Gardens North Ampitheater in Princeton, closing out the 2009 season of free concerts presented by Blue Curtain at Princeton Community Park. The Chapman Stick is an instrument Ive played for some years. Its very versatile, with guitar and bass sides, and I often use it in my writing, writes Levin via Email. His band has been touring Europe, primarily, this year. My last solo CD was titled Stick Man. But I was unable to reproduce much of the last CDs material live, because there were multiple Stick takes on it. Hence the idea of two Stick players in one band. The perfect complement to that unusual lineup is Pat Mastelotto, who plays not only acoustic drum kit, but electronic, with a lot of looping and samples. Hes also my King Crimson band mate, so theres a nice musical history there for us to take advantage of. Yes, any conversation about Stick Men has to include mention of King Crimson, the Englishfounded progressive-pop collective that fused classical structures with jazz harmonies and rock rhythms and aesthetics. The band has been going strong since the 1970s. Levin met King Crimson founder Robert Fripp in 1980, and soon he was the bands Stick player. Fripp has said that he was lucky to find Levin; the bandleader had been auditioning a stream of English and American bassists, when Levin simply showed up one day and asked to be in the band. He had an utterly original style, Fripp has said. Stickmen (not to be confused with a Philadelphia group with a

Modern Folk Songs That Sound Centuries Old
f Jez Lowe had not discovered folk music, he might have become one of the masters of modern British fiction. Bright, creative working class types have a way of finding an outlet. But Lowe was into music from an early age, and set out on the path that has made him one of the best songwriters and performers of the last 30 years. Lowe brings his talents back to Princeton on Tuesday, June 30, in a concert at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts. His appearance is sponsored jointly by the Arts Council of Princeton and the Princeton Folk Song Society. He will surely sing some songs from his latest CDs, Northern Echoes (a concert album) and Jack Commons Anthem, but there will be clamoring for tunes going back to his first solo endeavor in 1980. Over the past quarter century, Lowe has built a reputation as one of the leaders of the modern British folk world. With 15 albums to his credit, he has appeared all over the globe, including the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian. In 2006 he was commissioned by the BBC to write 23 songs for a series, The Radio Ballads, which brought him well-deserved recognition. He was nominated for Folksinger of the Year by the BBC in 2008. Even more telling is the esteem in which he is held by other folksingers. His songs have been recorded by countless other artists, including Fairport Convention, the Dubliners, Liam Clancy, Cherish the Ladies, Mary Black, and Robbie OConnell. Earlier this year, as part of the Charles Darwin bicentennial, he was one of eight artists invited to spend a week in Darwins Shropshire estate writing songs for a live concert, documentary, and CD celebrating the life and works of the naturalist. Lowes songs often take the form of a short story, sometimes sad, frequently humorous, occasionally angry. Many take place in and around his home county of Durham, like the trilogy A New Town Incident, London Danny, and Another Mans Wife, each offering a different point of view of a romantic triangle. His songs are not so much autobiographical as they are observations of the people and places hes seen. When I was young me father said to me/Never take advice that comes for free/Cause you can have all the riches of the golden kind/But without the riches of your peace of mind/You wont make old bones, youll see, Lowe sings in one of his most popular songs. Now in his 50s, he speaks fondly of the life he has led and the life he leads, his soft Northern England accent coming clearly across on a trans-Atlantic cell phone. He has never strayed too far from his birthplace in Easington Colliery in County Durham, not far from the Scottish border. To the rest of England, he is a Geordie,
