Exercising Before Work? Absolutely!

Posted on July 12, 2011October 31, 2011 by floridav

Fitness gurus over at FitSugar.com have written up five excellent reasons to exercise in the morning before work. While just about everyone loves to slap the SNOOZE button for that extra fifteen minutes, why not get up a little earlier and break a sweat? Here’s the argument put forth by FitSugar:

1. It’s usually a peaceful, quiet time of day, so it can be a great opportunity to think and get some time alone.

2. Exercising in the morning can help wake up your brain, clear your mind, and help you organize your thoughts or your mental to-do list for the day.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Running

Posted on May 2, 2011July 2, 2024 by floridav

Running Outdoors Perry Romanowski has invented a new exercise technique that incorporates long distance running with juggling, culminating with: joggling. Perry labels himself as “The Average Joggler,” and his blog shows new and interesting ways to exercise both your body and your mind–juggling requires focus and concentration.

In his “Indoor Running versus Outdoor Running” post, Perry discusses some of the benefits he has seen while joggling both on indoor running tracks at large fitness centers, and in the beautiful outdoors. While he is a joggler, his points apply to traditional running or jogging as well.

If you’d like to take up joggling, it takes three bean bags and some practice, but you can always keep to your regular fitness routine as well.

Diets for Kids?

Posted on April 26, 2011October 31, 2011 by floridav

Carmen Stacier, Chief Mom at DietsinReview.com poses an interesting question to parents: “Should You Put a Child on a Diet?” Her short answer is, yes. Here’s what she means:

I’m not advocating starting your eight year old in the Weight Watchers plan, packing the lunchbox with Slim-Fast shakes and enrolling your daughter in a prepared meal plan. I’m also not advocating counting calories with your child, focusing on the number on the scale, or instructing her on weighing out her meals. Rather, I want to talk about helping your child to be healthy, and in some cases, this does mean keeping an eye on her weight.

She first considered putting her 6-year-old daughter on a diet after a pediatric checkup. “Rather than ignoring the reality of a child getting heavy in the name of letting your child relax and enjoy their childhood, I think it’s a far more realistic approach to begin healthy habits.” Portion control and indoor fitness activities, such as the Wii, has helped Carmen teach her daughter healthier habits.
