Not only do we have to exercise, we have to enjoy it too - (USA)
Confused about how much exercise you’re supposed to do? Thirty minutes a day? An hour? How much cardio and how much strength training? Worry no more. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued new guidelines that explain things pretty well, offer more flexibility than the old guidelines, and offer advice for special populations. Here’s the rundown: For adults, HHS recommends 2 1/2 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity a week -- that’s walking briskly, water ae

Friday FOIA Fun: The Fulton Skyhook - (USA)
As you probably know, if you’re reading this, every Friday (more or less) I write about the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, in something I call “Friday FOIA Fun”. Often, it’s mildly therapeutic kvetching about the sorry state of FOIA processing, or the inexplicable and ridiculous redactions made by government agencies. Sometimes - quite frequently, really - I’ve also got interesting documents that I’ve acquired through the FOIA. This, happily, is one of those weeks. Before I begin, thou

Yoplait Kids...Get Healthy...Be Active! - (USA)
I guess I can count myself lucky. My girls are overall pretty healthy eaters. I vowed to start them eating healthy at an early early age, and it’s just progressed as they’ve gotten older. Sure we still have those days were eating is a fight, or finishing their veggies is a struggle, but overall I’m pretty lucky with them, they get all the vitamins they need and thankfully enjoy and love most healthier foods. Did you know that research has shown that fewer than half of kids aged two to 12

The School Sports Day - (USA)
Oscar and Otis had their school sports day yesterday. Infants in the morning and juniors in the afternoon meant we were there nearly all day. The morning was well organised. Otis did well. There were no individual events. It was all in teams across the age groups. The emphasis was on taking part and having fun. That’s pretty much how it went. I’ve no idea which team won. It was not announced. I think it should have been. It’s all very well being inclusive and right on but what sort of lesson d

Be Active Your Way and Every Day, Says New Government Report - (USA)
Health experts love guidelines, especially on fitness and exercise. Just a quick show of virtual hands - how many of you find most of these useless and near impossible to fit into your own busy lives? Wow - that's a lot of hands in the air!Thanks to the hard work of the Department of Health and Human Services, that abysmal track record for exercise and fitness guidelines took a course change in the right direction yesterday with the release of HHS' Physical Activity Guidelines For Americans.Thes

What kind of country sacks a dinner lady for telling the truth? Last updated at 2:15 AM on 10th July 2009 Comments ( 84 ) Add to My Stories Over the past few years I’ve lost count of the number of times people have asked me: what does someone have to do to get sacked in this country?

Sony Ericsson W980 Walkman review - (USA)
Flash memory is getting cheaper and more capacious by the month and gadget makers are falling over themselves to shoehorn the stuff into their latest kit. In this feature-packed new clamshell phone from Sony Ericsson, 8GB of memory is crammed into the uber-stylish chassis. The W980 Walkman will be out very soon, on a range of networks and price plans, or for around £350 SIM-free online. There’s a good deal of excitement surrounding this phone, but is it going to justify it? Design F

What Exercise Is Best For Quick Weight Loss? - (USA)
by Jack Roberts I love being efficient and doing things that I don’t generally consider fun in the quickest way possible. So whenever I need to lose weight I try to do it in the fastest and most efficient way possible. After all, why spend 3 months losing excess fat when you could lose the same amount of weight in 2? Back in the day when I first decided I really needed to lose weight I began with walking for 30 minutes. I tried to do it everyday but I would always end up skipping some days

Kari Henley: Facebook And Kids: Are Their Brains Ready for Social Networking? - (USA)
As a mother, I have recently discovered Facebook. My kids knew about it long ago and I poo pooed it as another mindless waste of time. Finally, I joined so I could track my kid's antics like a sneaky James Bond spy. Trouble is - I somehow got hooked myself. Suddenly, friends from far and wide started popping up. People from the dim recesses of my childhood resurfaced. Facebook is like a really good piece of chocolate or a bag of those great salt and vinegar potato chips. However, the way I us

New Guidelines Make It Easy to Get Fit - (USA)
- THURSDAY, Oct. 9 (HealthDay News) — In an effort to help harried Americans fit exercise into their hectic lives, new government guidelines released this week recommend slightly more than two hours of physical activity a week to stay fit. The recommendation tweaks existing guidelines that suggested a daily workout was best. “Being physically active is one of the most important things Americans of all ages can do to protect and improve their health,” said Rear Adm.

cardio at home - (USA)
cardio at home Skipping is great exercise. It strengthens the heart, helps you sweat out and loose weight and tones you. But it is also a very high impact move. It has propulsion, where one or both feet are not in contact with the floor and this places impact on the heels, knees, spine and other muscular structures. Once you learn how to jump rope properly with good coordination it will be possible to continue rope skipping for longer periods. Because rope jumping is a fairly energetic ex

How I Got “Ripped” Abs For The Very First Time - (USA)
By Tom Venuto, NSCA-CPT, CSCS www.BurnTheFat.com I’ll never forget the very first time I got ripped, how I did it and how it felt. I’ve never told this entire story before or widely published my early photos either. Winning first place and seeing my abs the first time was sweet redemption. But before that, it was a story of desperation… I started lifting weights for bodybuilding when I was 14 years old, but I never had ripped abs until I was 20. I endured six years of frustration and embar

How to Get Fit and Save Money - (USA)
A few nights ago, I flipped on the tv and was greeted with the serious yet calming visage of President Obama. Not too surprisingly, he was delivering another national address about the recession. Throughout the speech, there was a lot of “we’re in this together” and a whole bunch of “this too shall pass” kind of stuff. And it made me stop and think. We all know that eventually, the recession will end and companies will re-hire, housing prices will climb and people will get back to some s

Promotional Giveaway Nintendo Wii Fit - (USA)
Wii fit in Australia is now very popular video game product for this season. Every store limits only 1 per customer and most of them are run out of stock. These are all great selling points for the Wii Fit but as always it is the games that provide the underlying benefits that make the Wii Fit a great Christmas present. The games available using Wii Fit includes having to steer a ball across a wobbly platform, walking a tightrope and, the extremely addictive, ski game. Wii is not just a gaming c

Rope skipping is the key to our Olympic Games glory - (USA)
Forget table tennis! I think the only way for Singapore to win a gold medal at the Olympics is through... rope skipping! That's right. Why bother spending so much money to get imports from China to do us proud when we have our very own kids who can skip their way to Olympic Games glory? Now let's just hope those people behind London 2012 will include rope skipping as one of the sports. China and the rest of the world better watch out.

I was also like you, every one else seemed to be able to jump as high as they sought. But yet it seemed I could not jump at all. I began to feel something was wrong with me! Why couldn’t I jump like the rest of them? Performing a good vertical jump seemed unfeasible for me.I fixed out on a mission. The mission was not effortless. In fact it was a very harsh mission geared towards finding the accurate exercise or workouts to increase my vertical jump.I was indomitable to find out how I could jump

Getting enough exercise? New guidelines for all - (USA)
If you want to be healthy, you know you gotta get moving, right? But how much exercise do you need? New government guidelines say that depends a lot on how old you are… and your level of fitness. But basically, the new Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans says adults get big health benefits from two and a half hours a week of moderate exercise, and children benefit from an hour or more a day.

The New Physical Education Part I - (USA)
April 15th, 2009 by Scipio Tex I was watching HBO’s Real Sports last night and I came across a follow-up on a story run seven years ago on the battle over dodge ball at elementary schools. Can’t find the video, but the segment included such activities as tag where no child is ever “it”, no-touching policies (no hugs, high fives, pats), jump roping without a rope (so that you don’t ever get your feet tangled and experience failure), and all games with even a hint of competition are s
