sugar
the amount of sugar in our diets is the main reason for alot of health problems. It causes diabetes and leads to cavitities on teeth, and most importantly leads to people being overweight. people really need to watch the amount of suger that they eat because of the wde variety of health problems related to sugar.
Obesity and Healthcare
Obesity and Health Care
Obesity and health care are two of the most widely talked about health issues today. Obesity is prevalent in our society and leads to numerous health issues including: coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, liver disease, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, gynecological problems and many more. It isn’t surprising then that obesity is responsible for a significant portion of health care costs. The U.S. Congress is currently considering a healthcare overhaul and several states are taking harsh anti-obesity measures. Obesity and its affect on health care will be a hot topic of discussion for some time to come. Read more »
Great Workout Video
Here is a great workout for anyone still looking to try new things. Really exhausting.
http://artofmanliness.com/2009/05/07/become-strong-like-bull-the-kettlebell-workout/
These are compact, convenient and can be used anywhere. There are several people in laGrande that teach kettle bell workouts.
FOOD
Here are some good ideas for snack to be taking when spring comes around and gets really busy. I know i get really busy and have no time to eat right and these snack can be a good thing i can take for on the go.
Jump Roping
I found this web site about jump roping which turns out is a really good exercise and can burn alot of calories. This made me relize that times we had during basketball tryouts were we never got to touch a basketball for at least a week and we had to do regular jump ropes then we did team jump ropes. Team jump ropes we would jump over the jump rope for 90 seconds at ankle, mid calf, knee,mid calf and then ankle again. That was such a hard leg work out. It was really hard to even walk after practice.

Breathing while Running
I have always had a hard time running, and breathing. I have asthma, but I wanted to look up some helpful tips for controlled healthy breathing while running. So I looked this video up and found it actually helpful. Here is the link so you can check it out.
workouts
i went on the bigger faster stronger website, which is biggerfasterstronger.com and they have a bunch of good workouts on there.
Exercise Readiness
Mastery=12
Attitude=13
Health-16
Commitment=16
Scores above 12=chances are good that I will adhere to and exercise program.
I was actually surprised a little with the results because I thought that I would score lower. Although scoring 13 on the attitude towards exercise does not surprise me because I usually don’t have a lot of motivation to work out unless I have someone to go with.
The way we were
During the last several weeks as I have read, commented and now, flag projects, announcements, group collaborations and media projects, I attempted the media project, AGH! I wondered what could I add to this class? The conclusion I came up with was a commentary. A moment with Debra : I grew up in the 60's there were no fitness centers and hi tech exercise equipment. We went to the YMCA for fun not fitness. We took long walks outside, not on a treadmill. We rode bycycles outside not in a spinning class. We climbed mountains not rockmountains inside a building in downtown Portand. We did'nt need a pedometer to monitor our steps, we were to busy walking. We didn't swim for exercise we swam for fun.

Are diets working
I think that dies are a waste of time and are just a good ways for these people that make up these ridiculous diets to make a easy dollar because they are lazy themselves. Don't eat carbs, only eat carbs, no red meat these diets are just stupid and they never have any facts to back them but todays society wants to loss weight over night and are hoping these stupid diets will do the trick with out having to get off their lazy butt. It matter what you eat and how much you eat but all you have to do is burn more calories then you eat and you will eat but it is much easier for americans to just try crazy diets but all it take is to get up and burn some calories.

Standing rather then sitting
I remember watching a talk show that had a discusion about little tiny things that could make a big difference in your health. Things that would be easy to change or at least do more of. One was standing like with an office job or teaching. just standing rather then sitting can help burn more calories. i thouhg of a couple other things that also can be done. having one or maybe two phones in the house so if it rings you have to get up to answer it, waking to the mail box from the house and not driving up with the car, eat at a dinner table rather then infront of tv makes you move food and silverware in to another room, finally eatting a few hours before bed so you can burn some of those calories before sleeping.

Great Muscle Work Out
If you are looking for a great DVD to work your core and muscle group, try “Cathe Muscle Max”. It incorporates free weights, and bands. It is designed to increase lean muscle mass and burn excess body fat. I developed my own routine, but it was kind of boring, I found that using this DVD is inspiring and fun; and much more challenging. With this and my daily runs, I feel I am getting a great weekly workout.
EOU Rock Climbing
At the beginning of the school year I started to go up to the rock wall in Quinn. Ever since then I have been totally hooked on it. It is a great fun way exercise and get to know people. When rock climbing you will use your hole entire body to preform moves and improve your entire fitness. The rock wall is open at 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Quinn. EOU also has a new rock climbing club. You do not have to be an avid climber to join, but just interested in climbing.
Positive thoughts lead to positive actions as far as health
if you go to this website
http://studio5.ksl.com/index.php?sid=9252707&nid=56
this is for specifically for women but I think men would benefit from some the tips/tools too! I think this is really neat. One thing I like is how positive thoughts can change your physical health the example they gave was walking by the mirror and instead of thinking "geez, I am getting so fat." you should think "you know I would really like to be thinner, I am going to do the 30 minutes of exercise that I have been putting off."
Flaggers Needed
Beyond comments, another good way to provide feedback is through flags. There hasn't been widespread flagging this term so far. Since it is a common way to communicate and control content in online settings, I suggest you do more of this with as you read others work in the class these final weeks.
Flagging is a notation or mark associated with content. There are several flag options on posts, which you will find linked at the bottom of each post. Simply click the appropriate flag and the work has been flagged. You can toggle the flag on or off by clicking the link. Read more »
