HOME & GARDEN | HEALTH

Exercise and Yard Work The Centers for Disease Controls and

Prevention (CDC) recommends physical activity such as mowing the yard or picking up sticks for relieving arthritis pain.

Two-and-a-half hours of moderate activity per week, says the CDC, can help reduce pain and improve function, mood and quality of life for adults with arthritis.

It can also help manage other chronic condi-tions among adults with arthritis, such as diabe-tes, heart disease and obesity.

STRETCH AND HYDRATEBefore setting out on an afternoon of yard

work, be sure to stretch your muscles to pre-pare your body and avoid straining. You will also want to stretch a few times during and after your yard work to avoid stiffening.

Stretch your legs, arms and lower back in particular, since these are the areas most impacted by yard and gardening work.

Drink plenty of water before, during and after your outdoor exercise, as well. Staying hydrat-ed will help your muscles work properly.

CARDIOIf your yard is manageable, opt for the push

mower instead of the rider every once in a while. Adding 30 minutes of this type of cardio activity can burn hundreds of calories and get your heart rate increased to an effective rate.

Opt also for the rake instead of the leaf blow-er. Taking care of your lawn and garden the old-fashioned way will put your body to work while improving your overall health.

STRENGTHAn effective workout implements both cardio

and strength routines, so add a little heavy lift-ing to your outdoor work. You can burn hun-dreds of calories by scrubbing your siding, cleaning your gutters, tilling your garden and

power-washing your deck. The built-in aspects of some of these activi-

ties – like climbing a ladder and lugging bags of leaves to the curb – add even more benefits for your body.

As with any physical activity that requires exertion, pay attention to your body and incor-porate as many periods of rest as required.

ake a look at your yard. Is your lawn well-manicured? Are your leaves raked? Are your gutters cleaned? Keeping up on outside chores not only improves your curbside appeal, but can also boost your overall health.T

HOW TO CREATE GREAT-LOOKING GRASS PATTERNS

There are special mowers on the market with full-width rollers and free-floating mower decks, allowing you to bring the magic of a baseball field to your back yard.

Just remember that no matter how intri-cate the pattern you create, the most impor-tant aspect of your lawn is its health. Consistent watering and some environmen-

tally friendly care products will keep you grass green and healthy.

PLAN OUT YOUR PATTERNIf you’re considering adding grass pat-

terns, start by planning out your project. How do you want the grass patterns to

look? Are you hoping to keep the design simple or would you like to try something more complex?

While drawing out your plots, add differ-ent shades of green to each segment of grass to visualize what the striping pattern will look like.

In-Home Movie TheatersT he average price of taking in a movie for a family of four

is more than $30, according to the National Association of Theater Owners.

And that’s just for the tickets. Throw in the popcorn, sodas and not to mention the add-on for a 3-D ticket, and the average family could easily be spending double that amount. That’s a lot of movie money.

It’s no wonder that many fami-lies across America have chosen to enjoy more movies within the comfort of their own homes. But just because you stay in doesn’t

mean you have to sacrifice a good time.

Advances in technology, lighting and home construction techniques can help you build a genuine the-ater experience right within your home.

And that’s just for the tickets. Throw in the popcorn, sodas and not to mention the add-on for a 3-D ticket, and the average family could easily be spending double that amount. That’s a lot of movie money.

It’s no wonder that many families across America have chosen to enjoy more movies within the comfort of their own homes. But just because you stay in doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice a good time.

Advances in technology, lighting and home construction techniques can help you build a genuine theater experience right within your home.

THE SCREENBy mounting a projector on the ceiling, you can project images toward

as large a screen as you choose for your wall. Keep the projector in the back of the room to convey a real cinematic experience.

You can save space and a little money by opting for special paint instead of a large screen. The paint rolls directly onto the wall and reflects images just like a regular screen.

SURROUND SOUNDProjecting images is one thing. Adding theater-quality sound can be

just as important to pulling off an authentic movie aura. Carefully place your speakers around the entire room, helping engulf

your ears with optimum sound. Speaker companies have started to design their products on the smaller side, allowing for devices that look more streamlined and modern instead of big and bulky.

Add a couple of tower speakers at the front of the room to provide an extra boost.

THE LIGHTINGWhat good is a theater room with bright lights? Dim your lighting to

enhance the quality of whatever movie you’re watching. Recessed lights can not only add to the overall look of the room, but

they are also versatile enough to be installed around the border of the room like you see in standard movie theaters.

Consider a remote control device to switch your lights on and off from the comfort of your large, cushy seat.

HOME & GARDEN | PEACE OF MIND

ornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes are some of the most destructive and frightening forces on Earth. If you live in an area susceptible to any of these natural disasters – and most likely you do – you may be considering installing a safe room into you home.

Adding a Safe Room

Contractors can build a safe room in either the new construction phase or as an add-on to your existing home.

If you want your safe room to meet the criteria established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), there are certain steps to take. FEMA’s standards ensure that your safe room will provide “near-absolute protec-tion” in extreme weather events, mean-

ing that based on FEMA’s knowledge of dangerous natural weather events, the occupants of a safe room will have a very high probability of being protected from injury or death.

To be considered a FEMA safe room, the structure must be designed and con-structed to the guidelines specified by FEMA, which can be found by visiting

Gardening: By the Numbers

That is a lot of green thumbs. Looking deeper into the numbers offers a glimpse into why people are spending so much time in their gardens, including their passion for growing their own pro-duce and the enjoyment that gardening provides them.

Some of the more interesting numbers from the Scarborough study include:

• Gardening homeowners are 10 percent more likely than all homeowners to be baby boomers (45 to 64 years in age)

• 33 percent of gardeners have at least a college degree and 47 percent hold full-time employment

• Gardeners are 25 percent more likely to pay for more eco-friendly products and donate funds to environmental causes

• Online use is high among gardeners, with 37 percent who have Internet access spending 10 or more hours per week on the internet

(Continued from Page 12)fema.gov and searching for “safe room.”

BASEMENT SAFE ROOMFEMA advises that in a new or existing home with a basement, the

safe room should be built in the basement. You can build the safe room with its own walls or with one or more of the basement walls.

Using the existing basement walls will require you to reinforce them for ultimate protection. Typical reinforcement techniques used in residential basement walls, FEMA states, will not provide sufficient protection from major damage-events like extreme-wind loads.

Optimum reinforcement of basement walls will occur during the con-struction of a new home.

ADDING ON A SAFE ROOMFor homes without basements, safe rooms can be added by modifying

a bathroom, closet or other interior room. Wood-frame walls and ceilings must be replaced with options that are resistant to the impact of wind-borne objects and other effects of extreme winds.

When possible, FEMA recommends that safe rooms be built as a new room within the existing space in order to isolate the shelter from the home structure. A Safe Room

(Continued from Page 18)steps to building or placing a greenhouse that you need to follow.

HOW THEY WORKGreenhouses filter the sunlight through their walls and ceiling

and then heat up the air that is trapped inside. The process helps plants grow while keeping them protected

from external climate and weather forces that can cause serious damage.

For optimum performance, even the best designed greenhouses may require the installation of additional heating. This will help keep temperatures at their most effective levels, especially during the winter.

ORIENTATIONLarge, small or somewhere in between, where your greenhouse

sits in your yard will have the biggest impact on its successful rear-ing of produce.

Greenhouses are usually constructed with the longest side ori-ented toward the south to allow maximum sunlight exposure during the cold winter months. Avoid butting your greenhouse against a barn or in highly shaded areas.

BUILD YOUR OWNConstructing your own greenhouse can be a large project, one

that with the proper tools and attention to detail can end up saving you a substantial amount of money, freeing up more funding for plants to fill it with.

Before you build, consider the skill level required for your project. A large, intricate greenhouse with multiple corners and sections may require the help of a professional contractor.

A more straightforward design is definitely an achievable project, and can give you the satisfaction of a job well done.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECTDepending upon the complexity of your planned pattern, transferring

your drawing to your yard may take a little trial and error. You may have more success at first sticking with patterns comprised

of straight lines or checkerboards. As you become more advanced in striping, you can opt for diamonds or circles. Use your imagination!

USING THE ROLLERThe roller is the part of the mower that actually makes the mowing

patterns. Standard on many new models, the roller can be an add-on worth purchasing if you’re looking to recreate your favorite ballpark’s outfield.

After mowing each line once – this is sufficient as too many lines can harm the grass – drop down your mower’s rollers to finish your patterns.

SAFE LAWN TIPSGreat-looking grass is only as good as its overall health. Luckily, there

are some easy steps you can take to keep your grass in top condition.Alternate the direction you mow your lawn every couple of weeks.

This will improve overall grass quality and reduce wear and tear from tire marks.
