However recent studies carried out have shown it is never to late to start an anti aging and even small changes to your life can provide you with great benefits. In fact studies show that exercise can add between 2 to 6 years on a person's life as well as improve the quality of it dramatically.



So by combining all the types of exercise we have shown below you should be able to help slow the aging process.

1. Cardiovascular Should do at least of these types of exercises each day. But if you are already doing 30 minutes each day then why not consider increasing the frequency or duration of the workout you do.

2. Strength Training This should be done 2 to 3 times per week. It is never to late for this and the benefits of this form of exercise normally start to show about 3 weeks after you have started and will only continue to improve if you keep it up. It not only makes you stronger it maintains , prevents falls and increases a person's metabolism so it helps to control a person's weight.

3. Flexibility This should be done at least 4 times per week. You can even do it at home a few whilst watching the TV. Unfortunately lots of people tend to forget or neglect the stretching exercises and they are an integral part of any anti aging exercise regime. When performed correctly they help with movement, prevent injuries and are for any aches or pains which many suffer from as they grow older.

4. Mind/Body Research carried out has shown that mind/ such as Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates are helpful both for the emotional and physical health of a person as they age.

Of course, you will want to check with your doctor before starting any exercise regime, but as you can see an anti aging exercise regime does not need to be strenuous as long as it is done consistently, you will hopefully help to slow the aging process.

For a lot of people it was the chest (as well as abs). We would overtrain and work out to the extreme to try and accomplish the best chest possible. Even though all muscles are important, for men, other men see you by your arms and women see you by your chest and abs.



Throughout the duration of this article, you will be informed on the basics of how to accquire the perfect chest that you always dreamed of having.



What puts together your whole work out routine for your chest should be the flat press. Flat presses will help you work out your whole chest and likely will help build the mass the best out of all other exercises. Dumbbells are better then barbells for working out the chest as they offer a better range of motion for your training as well as working out each side of your chest individually if wished. You should use barbells still though. As well, the incline and presses are great. The incline bench works the top part of your chest and the decline bench works the lower part of your chest. A lot of people have developed their lower part of their chest already so your main focus should be the . A personal suggestion is to do decline instead of incline press once every two weeks (replace incline with decline=85).



Another good way for you to get your chests bigger is to do . Dips will let you move the weight from one side or the other if you have to make your chest look more even. Dips also work your whole as well as help your shoulders and triceps. Dips basically do the same for the upper body as squats do for the lower, in a nutshell. You have to be sure that you go down far enough that you feel the stretch in your chest to assure the full burn is occuring. The lowest point of your rep is where your chest gets its work out from.



As well, there is another exercise referred to as the flies. Flies help you stretch your chest muscles and make them look even wider. Because it is an isolation exercise, it is a great way to end your chest work out on any given training day or to get the chest worked out already for presses.



You should see a personal trainer and create the best work out possible for you to get the perfect chest that you always wanted. http://www.linksjuice.com/26/Fitness/ for fitness related websites to help you get fit. ]]> Housing Market Recovery Forecast To Be Slow http://www.artwoo.com/article/housing-market-recovery-forecast-to-be-slow http://www.artwoo.com/article/housing-market-recovery-forecast-to-be-slow#comments Sat, 06 Oct 2007 12:30:00 +0000 former federal reserve chairman alanalan greenspanfederal reserve chairmangreat depressionyale universityrobert shillerformer federal reserve chairman http://www.artwoo.com/article/housing-market-recovery-forecast-to-be-slow
The report comes on the heals of a economist warning to Congress that there may be future shocks to the nation's housing markets.

Economist , who authored a book warning of the real estate market collapse four years ago told Congress he feared that "the collapse of home prices might turn out to be the most severe since the ."

"The decline in house prices stands to create future dislocations, like the credit crisis we have just seen," he told the Senate's joint economic committee.

The present real estate slow down has evolved into a crisis with tightening credit standards for home buyers seeking mortgages. The slow down in the housing market is gaining momentum with slower sales in the majority of markets tracked by Housing Predictor, while foreclosures are at a record high.

Alan Greenspan said he would not be surprised if home prices fall in double-digit decreases over the next year. Deflation in U.S. home prices of that scale nationally would be unprecedented in U.S. history, and would have severe economic repercussions, costing many times the economic damage of the subprime mortgage melt down that started the present financial crisis.

Investment bankers estimate the financial damage could be more than $300-billion. The damage to the entire U.S. economy would be the worst since the Great Depression.

The Housing Predictor analysis indicates inventory levels of homes, condos and land for sale in the majority of states markets are increasing with more foreclosures hitting the market.

As early as age 50 an accelerating number of messages, subliminal and otherwise, start to assault your consciousness with the suggestion that "the end is near." Everything from invitations to join to dire warnings about impending problems and pitfalls of aging are relentless reminders that you are getting old and senile.

You begin to respond to those messages; you start to look for signs of your own . After enough people offer to help you do things you could well do for yourself, or they make remarks that suggest you are not as capable as you used to be, you do begin to question your mental and physical competence.

You begin to think, "Gee, I think I'm doing great, but am I kidding myself? What kind of decline do others see in me that I am not aware of?. Maybe I'm not as capable as I think I am." This kind of thinking is deadly and debilitating. You have to guard against well-intended but unwelcome comments and concerns of others, as well as your own negative self-doubts.

Here is an example of how we contribute to our own decline: A momentary , which every one of every age experiences,

results in a panicky "I'm having a ." Allowing yourself to say you are having a "senior moment" has consequences. You are telling and teaching yourself to accept decline. I a forgetful teen explain away a memory lapse with "Ooops, I'm having a teen moment. Youth doesn't sweat occasional . Neither should we.

The advent of age 60 really fires up the "getting old" wrecking ball. Even before retirement age, we begin to participate in traditional senior activities, just to keep in step with what older friends are doing. It's an initiation into the senior culture without being aware of it. It tells the subconscious that you are letting go of life.

While it's good news that more mid-lifers are not buying into the traditional aging process -- refusing to slow down, fall into line, give up and adopt the traditional senior lifestyle, much more consciousness raising is in order. Real progress is not coming fast enough.

Productive older people often adamantly refuse to reveal their age, fearful of age discrimination, or annoying patronizing comments such as "Isn't she wonderful for her age?" or "Isn't it amazing what he is still able to do?" Expressions of amazement for older competence are demeaning. Mature adults should be valued and appreciated for whatever they do without consideration of age.

Productive post retirement people need to help raise awareness that productive aging should be accepted on an equal basis with traditional retirement, and preferably, held up as the ideal.

If you are at mid-life, and on the fence about "should I or shouldn't I retire" -- that is an indication there is still a fire in the belly that needs stoking. Don't ignore it. Your future happiness depends on decisions you make now.

The traditional American way of aging is a crock. You can buy into or opt out of it as you choose. Decide to make the right choice now while you still have time.

The ability to encode new memories of events or facts and show decline in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. These deficits might be related to impairments seen in the ability to refresh recently processed information. Even when equated in memory for a particular item or fact, older adults have a tendency to be worse at remembering the source of their information, a deficit that may be related to declines in the capability to bind information together in memory.

Domains of Memory

In compare, implicit or normally shows no decline with age and semantic knowledge, such as vocabulary, in fact improves somewhat with age. Further more, the enhancement seen in memory for emotional events is also maintained with age.

Qualitative Changes in Memory Processing

The majority of research on memory and aging has focused on how older adults perform less well at a particular . But recently researchers have also discovered that just saying that older adults are doing the same thing, only less of it, is not always correct. In some cases older adults seem to be using a different strategy than younger adults. For instance, brain imaging studies have revealed that older adults are more likely to use both hemispheres when carrying out than younger adults. And further, older adults often show a positive effect when remembering information that seems to be a result of the enlarged focus on regulating emotion seen with age.

Because of the real estate slow down, prices have dropped in many areas. There are also a lot of sellers who need to sell and might be willing to help out someone with . But this slow down shows signs of picking up.

According to The National Association of Realtor's, their latest report indicates that pending home sales are up (according to the figures for August) by 4.3 percent. This number is still 14.1 percent lower than last August, but it gives the experts reasons to predict that the market is stabilizing.

's , David Lereah, said recently, "Our sense is that home sales may have reached a low in August -- the Pending Home shows home sales should be fairly stable over the next two months, although a minor decline is possible. With fewer new listings coming on the market, we should be able to draw down the inventory supply early next year to the point where home prices will rise, but at a slower pace than historic norms."

Experts realized in 1940 that the species had become endangered, and a law was passed to offer it protection from hunters- the Bald and Golden . Even after the hunting stopped, there was still a decline in numbers due to the rampant use of DDT. The bald eagle was included on the in 1973, and the species hit a low point in 1963 with only 417 breeding pairs.

Instead of the expected extinction of the species, the bald eagle has executed a miraculous rise in the number of breeding pairs. The more than 9,000 breeding pairs that exist today have made experts drop the species from the list of endangered species. Wildlife experts, however, will not be abandoning the bald eagle. For another five years, or more, the bald eagle will continue to be tracked and watched for any decline. The monitoring will enable the research community to be aware of any changes in numbers, and for inclusion into the endangered species list if necessary.

Even without being reclassified as endangered, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act is still there to keep the animal from being hunted. The of 1918 has offers still more protection to the bald eagle. The act was passed to protect , such as the bald eagle, in other countries that share birds with the U.S. due to migration. For eagles that make their way into Canada or Mexico, the treaty is in effect in those countries to stop the trade of eagle feathers, eggs and other parts that could make the hunting of eagles lucrative.

The 1972 ban on the use of DDT has also done much to protect . DDT traveled up the food chain to the bald eagle, and other animals, causing a in the number of breeding pairs. DDT caused a serious decline in bald eagle numbers, becoming a major contributor to the species' near extinction. This chemical eventually made its way from the waterways and into the eagles. Eagles then caught the contaminated fish living in these waters. The affected eagles were unable to produce eggshells that were hard enough to keep from cracking before the incubation period was over. DDT devastated the bald eagle population, as mother eagles were unable to incubate the thin eggs, often cracking them in the nest. Today the threat of DDT is largely over and bald eagles can catch fish, roam the skies and keep increasing their numbers.

Nowhere else is property traded so fiercely and competitively and at such high stakes as in this state.

A recent report on the number of house sales in California, which was released in December of 2007, showed that more than 25,000 condo units and houses=96both brand new and resale=96changed hands in that month. As impressive as that figure is, it was in fact virtually unchanged from the house sales figure in November, and is actually down more than 40% from November of 2006, when house sales registered at 43,400. Records show that there has been a in house sales over the past 27 months, and that December's sales were the lowest for that particular month ever since records were first kept in 1988.

for houses also went down almost 3%=96or to just over $400,000 in December=96from about $412,000 in November. This price represents an almost 15% decline from December of 2006, when the median price of houses was about $472,000. The peak in was reached in the period of March to May last year, when the price of houses averaged around $484,000.

This drop in median house prices can be explained mostly by the slow sales of high priced properties, which in itself is the direct result of instability in the credit industry. 17,500 homes purchased in California in December 2007 were bought with amounting to $417,000, which is a huge decline of almost 30% from December of 2006, when the number of houses bought with the same loan amounted to almost 25,000. With regard to , 4,600 houses in California were purchased for more than $417,000 in this manner, which is a decline of a whopping 70% from December 2006, when houses purchased number more than 15,000.

Other signs show that the real estate market in the state continues to move in different directions. are at an all time high (we will discuss this in further detail later on in this article), and both adjustable-rate mortgage and multiple mortgage financing has declined drastically. At the same time, down payment values as well as flipping rates have remained fairly constant, and buying activity by owners who do not occupy the properties in question is on the rise.

In Southern California, the extremely low level of house sales in December 2007 has caused many in the real estate industry=96sellers, buyers, and lending institutions included=96to watch the market closely. While the number of new houses sold in Riverside, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, Orange County and Ventura went up .5% from the previous month=96about 13,200 from slightly more than 13,100 in November=96this still represented a steep 45% decline from the same period the previous year, when houses sold numbered slightly more than 24,200.

One real estate industry analyst has declined to make any forecasts or predications about which way the market will go in the next few months, saying that the present instable condition of the market has made it impossible to predict which way things will go. Many experts agree however that the real estate market will stabilize soon and that a clearer picture will emerge. Until then both buyers and sellers are keeping a watchful eye on the proceedings.

We mentioned earlier that foreclosure activity is on the rise, and indeed during the last quarter of 2007, mortgage default notices were at its highest level in 15 years. Much of this increase in foreclosed properties goes hand in hand with depreciation of home values. Many homeowners have suddenly found themselves in a position wherein they owe more on the mortgage than what the property is actually worth on the market. A large number of those who have been forced into foreclosure may have felt the pressure of high mortgage rates, the loss of income or even the need to move to another state.

One factor that can explain this phenomenon is the decline in median house prices from a high of $484,000 in March of 2007 to just slightly above $400,000 in the latter part of the year. Although this decline was perhaps partially caused by the shift in the type of houses that were sold, this would have undoubtedly still had a significant role to play in the increase of the number of homeowners who were forced to default on their mortgage loans.

Or is it a result of cultural influences and how we live?

John W. Rowe, MD, believes, as do many other experts, that 70 percent of the aging process is controllable with wise . The remaining 30% is the result of heredity.

I agree with Dr. Rowe, but I believe he is conservative in his estimation. Based on my own personal experience, I am convinced that the amount of power you have to control how you age is 80 percent or better. We often unfairly assign blame to our ancestors for health issues when our own thinking and behaviors are responsible.

If you think about it, 70-80 percent is a staggering amount of power to wield over how well you age. If you are a boomer or younger, that means that if you learn to create and live an anti-aging lifestyle, you can stay the age you are now (mentally and physically) for at least another 25 years.

Once you adopt an anti-aging lifestyle, management of aging gets easier and having youthful attributes for another 25 years rockets into 30-35 more years. We are living longer so the more years we have to live a vibrant, , the happier we will be.

Why do so many not use or lose their anti-aging power so early in life? Four main reasons:

• Neglect -- low self-esteem -- "I'm not worth caring about."

• Willful abuse -- a lifetime of excessive processed food, alcohol, lack of sleep, exercise, tobacco, and water.

• Belief that you will age like everyone else-- there is nothing you can do to change things.

• Most people just don't realize how much power they have. No one has ever told them the extent to which they can of their physical and mental aging.

Our culture encourages thinking "outside the box." But when it comes to aging and management of the aging process, we are mired in an "earth is flat" mentality. For example, we still refer to age 65 as elderly.

A profitable and thriving "old folks" economy fuels the "age 65 is elderly" myth. Take, for instance, the "senior" housing industry. It prospers on contrived "needs" of so-called "active seniors." (Advertising designates "active seniors" as 50 plus. When you are 50 plus, you are not a senior. Don't allow yourself to be stuffed into that old box!)

When "active seniors" are segregated into one place, old thinking and behaviors proliferate quickly, in spite of amenities that promote an active lifestyle. Older people rely on each other for emotional support, and that includes adopting each other's thinking and behaviors.

Like perfectly programmed robots we march into old age, fully accepting consensus thinking, archaic tradition, and contemporary cultural norms. It's not necessarily bad -- it's the uncritical acceptance of "this is the way it should be" that seals our fate into premature decline.

At age 65 too many of us do wake up one day and find ourselves in decline and debilitation. We wonder how it happened. The reasons are so obvious we never saw them coming:

• We didn't think about and plan for the future while we were still young -- old age was too far off and we had "more important things to think about today".

• We knew what we should and could do to slow decline but again, we had "more important things to do today".

• We knew we should exercise every single day but there were "more important things to do today".

It's our own personal "Today Show" that determines whether or not we will join the ranks of the premature elderly.

Be the star and producer of your own anti-aging "Today Show" right now. Choose thinking and behaviors that will prolong the active, healthy lifestyle you have right now or want to have. Think critically about how contemporary cultural norms and lifestyles will affect your future and avoid those things that will lead to premature decline.

Remember, at least 70 percent of how well you age is in your hands. Plan right now to use that power wisely.

As of this writing, the San Diego s appears to have shifted from one that favors sellers to one that favors buyers. However, this premise may not hold true for all communities within San Diego, as for some communities continue to rise while others fall.

While there are many metrics to evaluate the real estate pricing trends of a community, one commonly used parameter is to evaluate the median price of homes from one point in time against a prior point of time. The median price reflects the point at which half the homes are above a particular , and half the homes are below a particular price point. The median price metric provides one method to analyze the direction of home prices, but should not be used as the sole source of data from which to form conclusions.

The data below is a comparison of median prices for various communities in County, comparing data from June 2005 against data for June 2006. This information is only one metric at a particular point in time, and other metrics or data from future months may support or dispute the pricing trends noted below. For some of the San Diego communities presented below, very few homes sold during June 2006, which diminishes the usefulness of the median price metric.

Crock pot is the accepted generic name of slow cooker. The slow cooker was popular in the 1970s. It faded as quickly as it got popular. The cause of the demise in popularity of slow cookers in the United States is the advent of fast-food eateries. People turned to food outlets to eat their dinner. They prefer to do so rather than spending their time cooking.

The U.S. home prices grew at an annual rate of 6.1 % last year registering the lowest growth rate since 1999 when the prices appreciated at 5.4 %. By comparison, the in 2005 was 13.3 %, more than twice of last year's home price appreciate rate.

Home prices rose at an annual rate of 4.9 % in the of 2006 from the revised 3rd quarter rate of 4.4 %, according to the Freddie Mac Index, but a slowdown in home sales resulted in the in home value appreciation. Home sales experienced a decline of 11 % from the 4th quarter of 2005 to the 4th quarter of 2006 largely due to a decline in housing markets that experienced high housing costs and a weaker economy, as reported in a statement by Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist. Nothaft's predictions for this year's home price appreciate rate is pretty grim. According to him, 2007 will see a rate of about 3 %, almost one half of the annual home price of 2006.

The following are the different regions of the U.S. that had experienced home price gains during the 4th quarter of 2006.

The Mountain states registered an average price gain of 8 %. The South Atlantic states posted an annualized rate of 7.7 %. The West South Central states experienced a growth rate of 6.3 %.

Michigan is the only state that experienced a year-over-year decline in average home values. http://www.sdhomedatabase.com ]]> Another False Start? http://www.artwoo.com/article/another-false-start http://www.artwoo.com/article/another-false-start#comments Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:25:00 +0000 seasonal declineasking pricehomes for salemedianholiday weekendoverwhelming numbersacramento area http://www.artwoo.com/article/another-false-start seasonal decline in the number of homes available for sale. The very next week the numbers started to climb again and have until this week. As of September 10 the number of homes on the market was down 334 or 1.8 percent in the past week. HousingTracker monitors the number of and s in the . The week did include a the Labor Day holiday so this could be another false start in the anticipated decline in what has been a summer of record breaking highs in homes on the market.

The of homes for sale in our market combined with fewer buyers has had a dramatic impact on asking prices. Not every seller can sit tight on their asking price and wait for that one special buyer. Most have had to make multiple price cuts to get showings. According to HousingTracker the asking price for all homes on the market in our area stands at $370,260. During the past week there was a drop of 1.3 percent from the $375,000 median asking price shown for the past two weeks. Over t he past month we have seen a decline of 2.6 percent and a three month drop of 7 percent. For the full year the decline has been 13.4 percent so it is obvious the decline in asking price is accelerating.

What will happen in the next month? Will the increase in foreclosure and "short sales" continue to drive the inventory of homes for sale even higher? I do believe the Labor Day had some impact on the decline reported by HousingTracker on September 10 but I am anticipating we will have fewer homes on the market by the end of the month. As that happens we should see a firming up of asking prices.

When I look at my business and talk to some of my colleagues it is clear most of us have more clients who are sellers. In the past two months I have had three sets of potential buyers each of whom was moving to our area from another location. They all needed to sell their home where they were living. Two of these families have now pulled their homes off the market. One family has made a decision not to make the move the Sacramento area and the other has rented an apartment so Dad, can take his new job and commute home on weekends. They will try to sell their Redding home again next year. The third family is currently living in Indiana and has had their home on the market for over a year. I am just one agent, how many others have similar clients. Real estate is a local business but clearly tied to what is happening in other parts of the country.
