exercise

Are we just trying too hard?  We don't have time in our every day lives to fit regular exercise in along with all the work we have to do.  So LifeSpan developed a "treadmill desk."  It's a desk that has a treadmill connected to it so that you can multitask both work and exercise at the same time.

So you go to the gym on a regular schedule to keep yourself in shape and lose a few pounds, but you’re actually gaining weight. What’s up with that?

Check this out. Buddah, a 34 pound cat -- yes, 34 pounds is obese (no kidding, right?). Vets have been determined to help the cat before it dies from being too big, so they made him an underwater treadmill. Check this out.

Last year about this time, I was in a good place in terms of trying to eat better and exercise. I had a really good summer staying on course, but last fall, I admit, I fell completely off the wagon so to speak.

A four minute workout that can speed up your metabolism for the next 24-36 hours? Count me in!

Everybody has a certain type of music they prefer to listen to when they work out.  For me, I like it upbeat and fast.  I love my country music, but for treadmill work I need dance, house, pop, hip-hop..etc..etc!  In a recent interview with WebMD.com, Miranda Lambert shared her workout playlist.

When someone told me that there was a video game system that made you move your body instead of sitting on the couch and exercising their thumbs, I thought they were crazy. Fitness has taken on a whole new face and it's including technology that fits in your hands.

I saw this today, if you’re trying to lose weight you should keep it to yourself.  In a NYU study, people who shared their plans of losing weight were less likely to enact them.  One of the reasons given was if you call attention to your good intention you can create a premature sense of attainment.  Okay this goes totally against what I’ve heard in the past.

Next time you're sitting on your couch trying to motivate yourself to get more active and you try to use the excuse that you're too old, watch this video!  This lady gets on the parallel bars and does stuff that at 33 I'm pretty sure I couldn't do.

Schools all across America are pioneering big changes in the classroom to make room for overweight kids.  Schools have started to provide separate chairs and desks for the increasing number of students who cannot fit into regular school desks.
