Leading by Example!
Winding down ...Looking forward. | |

Dear GayleFORCE Fitness Readers,
Well, it’s been a whirlwind of a year, beginning with shoulder surgery in January and winding down with the 2011 World Championships this past November. Along the way, I’ve met so many great people, and received wonderful feedback on all that I have done and my vision for GayleFORCE Fitness & Lifestyle Enhancement.
Yes, it’s definitely been a good, albeit tiring year! So, believe me when I say I’m looking forward to spending Christmas with my family and friends. Oh, and I intend to thoroughly savor every morsel of my Christmas Dinner, desert, and a few miscellaneous goodies too!
Speaking of morsels, check out Let’s Dine! for the Glazed Ham with Apricots and Accordion Potatoes Holiday Recipes, and add them to your list of dishes at the family table. They’re sure to have everyone digging in and coming back for seconds.
And, for those of you who are left feeling guilty after eating a tad bit too much (going back for 2nds even though you were already stuffed ;-) checkout the GayleFORCE Fit. You’ll definitely want to add this Intermediate/Advanced Chest Exercise to your workout routine in the New Year.
On that note, I wish you all a Warm, Cozy, and Joyous Christmas Holiday!
Yours in Health!
Sharon Gayle, MA. BA. ACE-PT.

| Blood disorders affect millions! |
|
In the U.S. 40,000 deaths recorded per year.
America's public health system encompasses governments, healthcare providers, and others working to improve population health. The lack of a public health framework for many blood disorders, both rare and common, is a particular concern.

At least 3 million Americans have sickle cell trait. They are carriers of the sickle cell gene mutation, also known as Hb AS, but the extent to which the carrier status poses health threats is not well established. Read more.

| Chest Exercise |
|
Decline Push-Up: Off Bench (Inter./Adv.)
Primary Muscle Group: Chest
Secondary: Triceps
 |
| Breathe, Control, Concentrate on Form. |
1. With feet on bench, chest a few inches from floor, push up until arms are straight.
2. Be sure that you are hands to the sides but in line with your shoulders.
3. Do not allow your midsection to sink. Come down slowly as you concentrate on keeping your core tight, and body aligned during both the up and down phase.
4. Push up slowly and repeat.
Suggestion: Perform 3 sets. Complete 8 to 12 repetitions. ~SG. |

Mouth-watering Dishes for Your Holiday Dinner.
Don’t lose hair trying to figure out what new dish to add to your family’s Holiday dinner on top of the stress of shopping. Consider adding the two mouth-watering, yet healthy low-fat dishes below, for a change and smiles all-round the dinner table! Enjoy! ~SG.
Glazed Ham with Apricots
Yes, ham can be the centerpiece of a healthy meal — just choose a piece that's lean (ask for shank), low-sodium, and smoked (to reduce fat). Amp up the flavor with apricots and mustard-marmalade glaze. Recipe and Directions.

Accordion Potatoes
For seriously satisfying spuds, try these vitamin-rich reds. Creamier than russets and lower in starch, all they need is a drizzle of olive oil before roasting; sprinkle with parsley and thyme and serve. Recipe and Directions.

As a multi-sport high school athlete, I always thought that I was in good shape. After completing one full year with Sharon, I now know what it feels like to be in great shape. I'm bigger, stronger, and faster now! Sharon really cares if you're doing well. I can't thank her enough for helping me realize my goals and giving me the self-confidence I now have. Thanks again! ~Kyle Glise - Long Island City, NY. |
