Weights and Game

The Weighting Game

If your gym solution is endless hours of cardio, here's why you should consider an exercise program that combines resistance and aerobic training


Aging frightens some women into the plastic surgeon’s office and others into the gym. As you get older, it’s natural to experience a decrease in muscle mass and an increase in fat mass associated with a reduction in growth hormone (GH). If your gym solution is endless hours of cardio, consider an exercise program that combines resistance and aerobic training. This mix has been found to be more effective at maintaining GH levels and improving body composition than aerobic training alone — even in postmenopausal women. This simply confirms a HERS maxim: The fountain of youth is full of dumbbells

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution.

Betty Rocker 30 Day Challenge: Day 11 - Yoga with Kate

http://www.katemarolt.com/yoga/ Yoga Flow   I want you to enjoy today's practice and look for more yoga opportunities - preferably with a group or with an instructor.   What I want to invite you to take away after today's practice and print out to use again and again is not the specific flow - it's actually the philosophy of the flow itself.   Here are some words about it from Kate herself - who I encourage you to  connect with online !   "My philosophy is that Yoga is a practice of moving meditation- both on your mat and in your life.   Whether you are holding a pose and focusing on your breath, flowing through a series of movements, or simply observing your thoughts and taking action throughout your day, the intention behind each moment is key.   I believe that we can be 100% sincere and committed to our paths without having to be serious and struggling.   Approaching...
