Feb 9th, 2009 at 1:00PM: No doubt, many of you check in on SkyMall Monday while you are at the office. You're taking a break from your hectic workday to learn about the latest innovations coming from our favorite catalog. But consider how much time you're spending at your desk. You're tucked into your cubicle and immobile all day. Your spare tire is growing. Your saddlebags are sagging. You're slowing dying. And if you ...Start exercising while you're on vacation
Nov 30th, 2008 at 10:30AM:
Walking or cycling are the best cardio exercises while you are on vacation. That's the first exercise tip on this video I came across while I was looking for the video on the Push-up Bandit in Santa Monica. The recommendation is to put your car keys away. As the narrator states, bicycling and walking on vacation offer a close-up experience of your surroundings. Considering that this is the ...
Push up bandit breaks the law by doing push ups on a Santa Monica median
Nov 29th, 2008 at 1:00PM:
All Jim Birch wanted to do was a bit of exercise. He's been exercising for years on the 4th Street median in Santa Monica. As I posted earlier, people are getting cited and fined for such unruly behavior. Doing any sort of exercise except for jogging or walking is not allowed on the medians anymore.
Birch and others aren't too happy about that. This video is a lighthearted, but sort of serious ...
Santa Monica police are cracking down on sit-ups in public places
Nov 25th, 2008 at 3:30PM: If you have a hankering to start doing sit-ups in Santa Monica, California in a public place, think again. It doesn't matter if you grunt when you do a sit-up, or rise smoothly with the greatest of ease. There is a ban on such behavior.
Not all public places are affected by the ban on public displays of Pilate's-like exercises, however. It's also not for all types of exercise. If you are jogging, ...Tours on the Run
Aug 25th, 2007 at 9:08AM: One of my favorite ways experience a new place is by going for a jog. I love not having a map or a plan, just tying on my shoes and meandering along. I've had memorable runs in Tuscany as well as Ireland and France. Suffering from annoying jet lag in Asia motivated me to get out at dawn in China, Vietnam and Thailand. Asia is buzzing at first light, and in Shenzhen as well as Hanoi people gathered ...Care For Your Pair (of Knees)
Jun 11th, 2007 at 9:52AM: Hiking. Skiing. Basketball. Biking. Running. Even just climbing the stairs at work. All these activities can damage your knees. Outside Online has an interesting feature about keeping your knees healthy. After explaining why many knee injuries occur, the article provides plenty of knee-strengthening exercises to add to your repertoire, including tips on sport-specific exercises, and negatives and ...A Canadian in Beijing: Summer Ice Skating
Jun 3rd, 2007 at 5:47AM:
Here it is the heat of summer in Beijing and I found myself on ice skates last night. I looked down at the ice rolling under my skate blades in the "You Yi Shopping City" mall ice rink last night and I laughed out loud. I was wearing a light shirt and jeans and the sweat was dripping down my back. Ice skating in the summertime? I don't think this Canadian has ever been skating without mittens ...AquaBells' Dumbbells: Keep In Shape While On The Road, You Slob!
May 8th, 2007 at 9:30AM: Unless you're the kind of traveler who actively engages in lots of climbing, hiking, paddling, or biking, you're pretty much a fat, lazy slob who's only looking to meet attractive members of the opposite sex, lay around, check out the scenery, and eat. C'mon, admit it. Why not beef up a bit, so if/when you put the fork down long enough to speak to that Hottie, they respond with something other ...New Blog Alert: That's Fit

Jul 18th, 2006 at 10:03PM: 6,710,099 steps later, 3,177 miles covered and our mission is complete! As I may have mentioned here on various occasions I have been on the road walking, stepping and counting my steps across this magnificent and diverse country with a program called Steps Across America. When we started our question sounded a lot like that of the Tootsie Roll Pop Owl and his friend pondering the number of licks ...
