Dont Ever be discouraged (A wasted and damaging emotion), do what you can. If some emergency happens in your life and you miss a few days or any amount of time JUST jump back in. Exercising your body compared to not Exercising your body is always the positive choice. There are also floor exercises you can do to work on each of these muscle groups.

A guide I put together years ago.

For a close to complete body workout, knock off these weight exercises daily or every other day. A pair of dumbbells is all that is needed for most exercises. If you dont have dumbbells use pressure against a wall or doorway, etc. Of course use no equipment and knock off lots of push ups and sit ups. I think a short workout with weights is a good start before knocking off quality push ups, plus you can be in any shape to do the following weight routine. OF COURSE, IF YOU havent been exercising start any weight lifting at the number of repetitions thats good for you. Unless you are young and can push yourself without getting hurt, do the number of repetitions that is good for you, even if that is ONE lift of each type exercise. You will be in shape in no time, but you have to start sometime.

Its amazing how fast the body can get into good shape if you stick with it. Im talking a few weeks. You may not be at the exact body shape or strength goals you set, but I Guarantee you will feel completely different. If you dont it means you havent advanced to the weight level or number of repetitions that your body is craving.

If you can combine this with Yoga (good flexibility will make you feel great and is a treat for your body) and aerobic activity, i.e. biking, swimming, fast walking, aerobics class, running, baseball, softball, tennis, volleyball, rowing, hiking, etc. or most any fun aerobic game or exercise then you are off to a Great Health Start.

I GAURANTEE you will feel great, but I think you already know this. MAKE THE TIME, even if it is isometrics at your office desk or walking around the block. You do this enough and I guarantee you will crave to go further.

Throw in some good eating (maybe juicing greens and an apple) and everything in your life will be THE BEST including keeping everything in perspective, this includes handling challenges that come your way.

IMPORTANT: For maximum benefit and less likely hood of injury Stretch before and after each exercise, especially the area used in the exercise.

Shoulders/ Upper Arms Alternate Dumbbell Press

Trap. Deltoid Up Right Rows

Deltoid Lateral Arm Raise

Forward Dumbbell Raise

Biceps/ Forearms Alternate Dumbbell Curls
Hammer Curl
Concentration Curl
Biceps Barbell curl

Pectorals Dumbbell Fly

Tricep Extension II

Abdominals/ obliques Side Bend

Many more good basic weight lifting but this covers a good amount.

There are also floor exercise you can do to work on each of these muscle groups.

If you have time see how many pushups or sit ups you can knock off in 2 minutes. (2 minutes of pushups and 2 minutes of sit ups).

A note: if your body is shaped for most strength on top, great concerning push ups. If your body is not shaped that way dont be discouraged with the push ups. Move on to the sit ups, you may be pleasantly surprised.

VERY NOTEWORTHY:

If you have gotten even a little out of shape and are trying to slim down be aware of the following. When you start to loose weight you may notice parts of your body (i.e.your abdomen or other parts) seem even more pronounced. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. When you start to tone your body (after even a small amount of weight gain) your abdomen, for example may seem more pronounced but it will be temporary and is only because your muscles may be getting more toned and slimmer and any extra weight (even the slightest) may be pronounced until your whole system is slimmed down. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED and also note you may be getting healthier and in shape but your scale may show otherwise becuse of more dense muscle. This is were many people trying to loose weight get discouraged. Do Not BE, get past that initial body re-alignment and the rewards will be priceless. Remember Health is Wealth.

Personally I never use a scale. I go by how my clothes fit, concerning any weight change.

I have been in the peak of shape and I have not used a scale, unless I am at the Dr.s, since I turned 18.

Hospital Cooling Tower Case Study

Airborne Debris Puts Baptist Hospital East Cooling Towers In Intensive Care.

Whether cooling towers are used for process or environmental cooling, proper tower maintenance is critical for ensuring optimal performance in meeting the cooling demands of the facility or operation. Airborne debris that gets drawn into cooling towers is the single biggest problem contributing to system fouling, reduced performance, downtime and maintenance cost.

When cooling towers aren't properly maintained, performance will suffer, resulting in increased indoor temperatures, a reduction in occupant comfort levels including reduced employee productivity; and it can affect computer rooms and the equipment and operations they support. Furthermore, when cooling towers fail in process cooling applications, it can bring production to a grinding halt, and the cost of lost productivity can be staggering. The following war story demonstrates the kinds of problems that can occur with any cooling tower (process & environmental cooling applications) and how one hospital solved their cooling tower problems.

The Subject Facilities
Several modern medical buildings housing the corporate offices of Baptist Healthcare System as well as physician offices and other health service facilities next to Baptist Hospital East (BHE), of Louisville, KY, the regions leading hospital for Oncology, Cardiology, Orthopedics and Neurosurgery.

The Problem
Over the past 16 years, managing the cooling of the buildings had been a challenge due to the maintenance challenges of two BAC (Baltimore Air Coil) cooling towers. Gilbert Fister, Properties Manager for BHE's campus buildings, was faced with taking the towers out of operation for scheduled maintenance twice a year, plus, due to the high seasonal concentration of airborne contaminants that got drawn into the towers, they required unscheduled maintenance associated with system fouling and clogging. "In the spring and summer, Mayflies, pine needles and other matter would seriously clog our fill material and basin strainers and trigger a series of other operational problems," said Fister. Although the BAC cooling towers are equipped with water filtration systems, they required weekly monitoring and cleaning and did little to protect debris from getting into the cooling water in the first place. Further, they did nothing to protect the fill material from getting clogged with the debris being drawn in, resulting in a reduction of thermal efficiency as the cooling water passed through the fill material. Additionally, organic debris (insects, pine needles, cottonwood seed, leaves dirt and other Airborne matter) would collect in the basin and decompose, resulting in sludge build-up that supported bacteria proliferation, plugged the basin strainers and reduced cooling efficiency when circulated through the chiller. On many occasions, debris got through the basin strainer, resulting in the solenoid blow-down valve getting stuck in the open position; this triggered automatic release of water treatment chemicals and prematurely drained the treatment chemical tank requiring BHE to call for emergency refills. Furthermore, when the blow-down valve stuck in the open position, it resulted in the loss of thousands of gallons of make-up water because the sump would not retain the water. In short, the system would fail.

During scheduled maintenance, the towers were routinely cleaned using a pressure washer and cleaning solvents - much of the work was focused on cleaning the fill material which had high debris concentrations of its surface. Over the course of a year, literally thousands of dollars were spent on just keeping the cooling towers operationally and ecologically sound. Gilbert was not satisfied with the situation and set out to improve the maintenance demands being placed on these important systems.

The Solution
While consulting with their maintenance contractor Gilbert realized that they needed a solution that would prevent debris from getting into the cooling towers in the first place rather than trying to manage the debris once it got drawn in. Gilbert researched this option and contacted Air Solution Company of Commerce Township, Michigan, the leading producer of cooling tower and chiller coil air intake filter systems. Unlike traditional air filters (commonly used in air handling unit filtration banks) air intake filters mount to the outside of the intake opening and are specifically designed to isolate the airborne debris on the outside of the cooling tower. The filters are constructed of a UV resistant, non-electrostatic vinyl coated polyester media that resists mold and mildew, never needs changing and are easily cleaned using a brush, broom or shop vac. Since their installation in 1999, BHE has eliminated sludge build-up and has not experienced strainer or blow-down valve clogging. Furthermore, they have reduced their chemical consumption by over 50% and reduced their make-up water consumption by 35%. Because Air Intake Filters now keep debris out of the system, BHE hasn't required unscheduled service due to system fouling - saving thousands of dollars in labor and service cost. In short, Gilbert "hit a home run" in reducing the maintenance and operational cost associated with their cooling towers.

"Since the installation of the Air Intake Filters, we now only inspect our towers monthly and find little or no maintenance required versus our inspecting them weekly before the filters were installed and nearly every time finding a need for some maintenance work. Installing Air Intake Filters on our cooling towers has saved us countless dollars and has given me "peace of mind" knowing that we're now optimizing our operational efficiency and protecting the core of our cooling systems." Said Gilbert Fister.

water Treatment and Mechanical Service Providers Perspective?
Most companies and institutions that outsource their HVAC system services do so as a means of reducing their cost of operations while improving system efficiencies. This typically entails establishing annual service contracts with water treatment and mechanical contractors to ensure scheduled maintenance intervals. But to truly optimize the cost savings, the system itself must be efficiently equipped so that the savings realized through not maintaining an in-house HVAC service team isn't lost to extraordinary and unscheduled service needs. In BHE's case, their water treatment service provider contracted for annual service and chemical replenishment based upon normal maintenance and operation. But when chemical consumption dramatically increased because the blow-down valves would get stuck open, it was the chemical service provider that wound-up eating the added cost during the contract period. Hence, when the Air Intake Filters were installed, both BHE and their water treatment supplier were winners. According to the service company used by BHE, "use of the Air Intake Filters have helped us to keep their cooling towers running optimally and has reduced our maintenance cycle time by nearly half. The advantage to BHE is that their towers are out of service for shorter periods of time during scheduled maintenance. Furthermore, it helps us free-up valuable service time, giving us greater flexibility to deploy our service team where they are needed most and to serve more customers per day. Because the Air Intake Filters do such a good job of helping keep BHE's towers clean, they help us to optimize the profitability of our maintenance contract because we now only deploy resources at scheduled intervals and we have virtually eliminated unscheduled emergency maintenance at BHE.

Benefits of Air Intake Filtration at BHE (recap)

• Stopped insects, pine needles, leaves, paper and other airborne debris from getting into cooling towers.
• Stopped clogging of fill material - enabling optimal thermal release.
• Helps prevent sludge build-up in basins.
• Stopped basin strainer clogging.
• Stopped clogging of blow-down valve.
• Reduced consumption of water treatment chemicals by 50%.
• Reduced consumption of make-up water by 35%.
• Improved chiller efficiency.
• Eliminated unscheduled downtime and maintenance service calls due to clogging and fouling.
• Reduced maintenance cycle time by nearly 50%.

When it comes to maintaining cooling towers, it ultimately requires a team effort between the customer and the mechanical and water treatment service providers. Using Air Intake Filters in conjunction with a well managed water treatment program and scheduled maintenance program will ensure that cooling towers perform optimally, while helping avoid unscheduled emergency service.

Air Solution Company developed and patented the first Air Intake Filter specifically engineered to mount to the outside of cooling towers and other HVAC equipment for purposes of stopping the debris before it entered into the system. Since that time, Air Solution Company has been manufacturing and has introduced a variety of other innovative filter systems including its new Fine Mesh Filter which is engineered for use on small and medium size refrigeration coils and machine fan intake housing units.
