I have a confession to make: I’ve gotten a little lazy. I used to live at the gym and workout religiously. And then life got in the way. I started going a little less, and a little less. These days I am happy if I make it a few days a month. And my running? My 25 miles a week? Well, after pregnancy and having my son, I never really got up to that level again. And then after I broke my foot? I have had way too many excuses.
But this week the weather has been beautiful. I have

As students nationwide are getting settled into their new routines, college students have to make the conscious decision whether to incorporate exercise into their daily routine. For most, their ever-busy schedules force them to drop their daily exercise. But to stay healthy in college, exercise is a necessity, next to notebooks and planners. The easiest activity is running. Whether it is a galloping sprint, or a slog, running is the ultimate boredom and stress reliever. Here is the quick formula that I follow for my fast and easy college running routine.

Did you know that last year was the first year in four years that the pedestrian death toll went up?
Though there are no hard facts for the cause behind the rise in death toll, I do have a pretty logical guess: headphones. Headphones typically make people completely unaware of their surroundings. Yes, they can still see what is going on, but seeing is not everything, and we all know that. Also, you may think that you see everything, but music tends to zone people out as well, and you do not truly know what is around you at all

SH'BAM! Ever heard of it?
While Zumba is still the rage in many places, SH'BAM is starting to make its moves in fitness as well. SH'BAM is a lot like Zumba in the sense that you dance as exercise. It keeps you moving and sweating, but it also gives you some moves to use on the dance floor.
The major difference between Zumba and SH'BAM is that Zumba uses a combination of salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggaeton, and current top songs; SH'BAM is all about the hottest hits. Pop, hip-hop, rap, you name it — SH'BAM will get you moving to the

Walking and Music: It is Personal
January 6th, 2011 by TK | Cardio, Walking
The great thing about walking as a form of exercise is that it is something you can absolutely do on your own. When walking alone, most people still need something to entertain their mind. With the explosion of iPods and other MP3 players, almost everyone has a portable personal listening device that they take with them on individual walks.
"But what music do you listen to when you walk?" That was the question we posed over at Idea Offer to see what people listen to as they burn calories and take in the great outdoors.
