a
Bodies in motion with Gil Jankiewicz.
Our special guest today is NFL great Joe Theismann, who led the Washington Redskins to victory
in Super Bowl XVII.
Joe, it seems like in your life today you're putting a lot of energy into inspiring people
into getting into shape.
You do it through your lectures, you do it all over the country.
Tell me a little bit about it and why did you get into it?
Well, Gil, first of all, I feel like everybody can use a little intervention in their life
as far as inspiration goes.
Sometimes we get stuck in ruts and you need to look at somebody else or talk to someone
else and find out that maybe they've gone through the same experience and all you have
to do is push them.
Just tell people, hey, look, if you set a goal, you can accomplish it.
If you have a positive attitude, you can get it done.
If you work with people, they're willing to help you.
If you work together, it's a lot easier than working alone and all of us find motivation.
I got to be honest with you, not because I'm here, but because I find it in your tapes.
I feel great after I work out with you in the morning, whether I'm in Washington and
you're in Hawaii.
It doesn't matter.
Well, it's better to have you here in Hawaii and have you work out with me in person and
we'll be right back after this break.
Okay, you guys, here's the game plan, okay?
We're going to do a warm up.
We're going to work on the chest.
We're going to do aerobics.
All right.

Finish with a stretch, okay?
We have Joe Theismann here with us, okay, quarterback, giving the best contract he could
get.
No, he gave me the only contract I could get.
The only contract.

Back to the center.
Let's roll it up.
Big inhale up.
Okay.
Halfways in.
And let's go.
Take it in and open.
Working on the chest now.
So what you're doing is you're taking the fist, pushing it inwards, in and out.
And as you're pushing the fist inward, what you're doing is you're contracting the chest
muscle.
So exhale.
Exhale every time.
So push to the chest and pull with the back.
Give me eight more times like this.
Eight.
Go.

We're coming back with aerobics.
You ready?
I'm ready.
Ready, go.
Bodies in motion can now be seen.
Okay.
Now what you're going to do is relax your arms in front of you a little bit.
Bend your knees slightly.
Nice little good position, okay?
Get your hands out in front.
Look down at the ball.
Now as you bring your left arm back, put your left shoulder under your chin, right?
Bend your knees a little.
Get the weight on the back foot.
And then as you come through, just sort of throw the club down and right through.
Joe.
Isn't that aerobic?
That's great.
My heart rate though.
It's a little questionable here.
Can you give me something a little bit better?
I'll let you do it.
I'll let you do the aerobic part.
Okay.
Start walking in place.
Boy, that was tough though.
I like that.

Stay light on your feet.

Okay, beginners.
Remember, the deal here is if you have a hard time doing the workout at any portion of it,
you can come back to this very simple move, jumping in place or walking in place if that's
too hard for you.
The main thing here during the aerobic segment is to get your heart and lungs to work, help
you burn a little excess fat.
We could all use the help.
So keep going with it.

As you're doing aerobics.
Let's go.
Come on.
Hey, this is not the first time I've done bodies in motion.
I do it at home, too, you know.
I practice at home football.
I know it's not normal football.

Sit a little bit lower on your buttocks and point your toe now.
Okay.
Breathe into it.
Stand the arms.
Okay.
Now we're bringing the heart rate back to you with the golf.
Back down with the golf swing.
This is the time to bring the heart rate down.
So let's go for that move again.

You can keep doing it, though.
Keep your feet going.

This is aerobic golf.
You can do this at home very easily.

Now what you want to do is exhale.
Squeeze it up on the top.

Take a hold of the leg bicep.
And let's go every time up.
Small and tight.

How are you doing there?
Sue?
Again, how you doing there, Sue?
Four more, four, three, two, and hold it right here.
Now, extend both arms out.
Lift it an inch further up.
I feel those.
I do too.
And relax them down. Good job.
Okay, go to the other side.
Arms behind the neck, and let's start.
Up and down.
Up and down.
Now, the reason we cross the leg over is not just to look pretty, okay?
What we're trying to do is push the knee outwards.
Okay, then sucking the stomach in.
And you exhale every time you come up.
There you go.
Isolating the abdominal muscles.
Let's go. Four more.
Three more.
Two more.
And up.
Last one.
Okay, palm of the hands, come down.
And we go slight turn to the side.
There you go.
Turn and down.
Turn and down.
Turn and down.
Now take a hold of the hamstring.
And go every time up.
So you cut the move in half.
And you squeeze twice as hard into the abdominals.
Good job.
Like this, four more.
Four, three, two.
Hold it up.
Extend both arms.
Bring it an inch further up.
And relax it down.
Good work.
Drop the leg.
Stretch to your left.
This feels good.
I will get my left right.
I think we're going to stay here for a little while just like this, Joe.
I know.
The other left.
Stay here to the other way.
There you go.
Go to the other left.
And then go back.
And turn it over.
There we go.
Okay, we've got to follow the game plan.
We're scoring a touchdown almost now.
Right there.
Okay, outer thighs, you guys.
Let's play flat.
Let's go this way.
And let's go up and down.
Up and down.
Go out.
How are we doing here?
We're doing all right.
Okay.
We're here.
Let's go.
Training those legs.
Up and down.

Make sure the heel comes over the knee.
Hold it up now.
All the way.
Press.
Out.
In.
Extend the heel out.
There you go.
Just like this.
What you're doing now is you're imagining that you have a rubber band connecting your buttocks
to your heel.
And you're going to extend it every time out.
There you go.
Extend it every time out.
Four more.
And three more.
And two more.
And last one.
Hold it right there.
Extend.
Lift it like a little bit up.
One more inch.
And bring it down.
Good work.
Bring that knee in.
And stretch it out for a second.
Okay, guys.
The other leg.
Let's roll over.
Oh, thanks.
Thank God we have only two legs.
Thank goodness you're right.
Okay.
This is for the outer thigh, right?
Outer thigh.

Up and down.
Up and down.
Up and again.
Let's go.
Lift and release.
Lift and release.
Lift and release.
Lift and release.
Lift and release.
Lift and release every time up.
Watch here, one small and very tight move.
So, Joe, I notice you can actually do almost all the exercises.
Almost all the exercises. That's great.
I occasionally get my feet screwed up.
But that's because of the injury.
Well, that's because of my brain, I think, more than the injury.
Yeah, not because of the injury in the leg.
No, not because of the injury.
Actually, I can do all the exercises from the leg standpoint.
Great job.
Six, seven, hold it right here.
Now extend and in, press, out, in, press, out, and in.
Extend and release, extend and release.
Push the heel away from the body.
Feel the buttocks tightening up.
Go for four more times.
Four and three.
Come on, people.
Put the energy into the move.
And this is the last one.
Push it out and hold.
Lift it up an inch.
One more inch.
Ah.
I feel those outer thighs.
Release them down.
Good work.
Bring the knee in.
And take a sitting position.
We'll be right back with the cool down.
Good job.
Left, right.
Welcome back to the cool down.
Let's finish with a stretch here.
Okay, bring one leg in.
Okay, with the elbow, press it slightly downwards.
Okay, lift the other hand up.
Okay, pull your body forward.
There you go.
And now, from this position, try to reach a little forward.
Exhaling as you're coming out.
Okay, this is a great exercise to stretch the lower back
as well as the back of your leg and the inner thigh.
Okay, so take another deep breath.
And go a little further out.
Get to the point where you feel the stretch.
And let it go.
Good job.
Bring the leg out.
Shake it out.
Let's go over to the other side.
Okay, leg comes in.
Elbow comes right above and pushes slightly down.
Toe flexed in.
Lift your palm up.
And take it slightly forward.
Push forward, there you go.
Breathe into it.
Very nice.
Once again, deep inhale.
And exhale, reach a little further out.
Good job.
Bring both legs out.
Shake them out.
Very good work today.
I think we scored.
Touchdown.
Not a field goal, touchdown.
Touchdown.
