For as long as I can remember, those that are in the know have been drinking pickle juice after they workout. Sounds strange huh. Finishing a killer workout or an intense game and sitting down to a few pickles and some brine. I use to think it was just an excuse to hit the pub but modern research seems to agree with these witch doctors of sports medicine.
A study commissioned by the American Council on Exercise, the nonprofit body that certifies fitness professional, finds that some toning shoes have the same impact on heart rate, VO2 Max, and calories burned as regular running shoes. What do they recommend to instead to "Rev Up Your Walking Workout"? Basically carrying extra weight. Read below:
Who hasn’t heard of Wellness shoes? They’re those shoes that do something else like Sketchers Shape-Ups, Earth Shoes, or my company’s NGR Shoes. If you haven’t seen an ad for them yet, you will. They are all becoming extremely popular. The Times even did a piece on the December 7th. And why not! You go about your regular day and burn extra calories engaging your muscles a little more.
"Wanna get in shape like the pros do, but can't spare the cash? No problem. We asked 16 trainers for their favorite SoCal spots to exercise for free. From hikes to outdoor mini-gyms to no-charge classes, these fit spots prove that having a hot Hollywood bod doesn't need to cost a thing."
That's Fit interviews Jennifer Cohen to find out how NGR Shoes work to help burn up to 50% more calories. Find out everything you wanted to know about NGR SHOES and how you can use them to get those extra results you've been looking for!
Believe it or not, most of the messages we communicate to others are done through body language and vocal tones. Think about it for a second. If you ask someone to do you a favor and he or she responds with a bitingly sarcastic, “Sure; whatever you say,” do you think your favor is going to get done? What about if the respondent just slumps over and glares at you? In many cases, that sends a clearer message than saying anything, and it can cut off a conversation long before you’ve actually accomplished anything.
I bet everyone out there has taken a Myers-Briggs test or one of those fun online personality-type quizzes. You know the kind I’m talking about - the quizzes that give you a round of options for your favorite weekend activity, what you love to do with friends, and what your ideal date would be. But did you know that the answers to these quizzes - your real personality type - influences how you work out?
The summer is hands down my favourite time of the year. Not just because the weather is to die for but also because people are always doing something. BBQ’s at some friend’s house, parties every weekend, events for every organization in the world, picnics with family and friends, concerts, days at the beach, and vacation down south... There is always something going on!
Do men and women need different things when working out? Intuitively, we'd think what works for Jane should work for John. We know, of course, that John will use heavier weights and sprint a little faster but does the workout or diet really need to be all that different?
It's true. I love people watching. It’s probably my favorite past time. We all think everyone does it once in a while but I think it is actually up there as one of America’s favorite past times. Probably right next to baseball...well, close to it anyway. Certainly if the boys are out looking at the baseball game, the girls are right next to them observing the other fans as much as the players on the field!
John Cloud's recent Times cover story article on exercise has certainly gotten a lot of attention. It makes the case for exercise NOT contributing to weight loss in any significant way. Go figure. All of us preaching that a consistent regimen of exercise with proper eating habits lead to improved weight management and improved overall health all for naught...

Are you in a bad mood? When's the last time you felt upset? Five minutes ago? Five days ago? Five months ago?
