It’s All About the Stairs – Butt Kicking Stair Workouts

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:02:00 +0000

It’s all about the stairs today and I’m not talking about stair stepper machines, I mean regular ol’ stairs. Chances are you have stairs in your home but if not, I’m sure you can find a location that has them whether it is a gym or other area. Climbing up and down stairs can be an awesome way to workout.
If you have ever climbed several flights of stairs and became winded, then you can imagine how intense an actual workout up and down flights of stairs would feel like. It’s important to improve your conditioning with each workout. Don’t expect to climb 20 flights of stairs with no problem. Ease your way into it by walking first and as you feel comfortable, add more of a challenge like walking one flight, running another, etc.

Less is more: Teens who sleep less eat more fatty foods and snacks, study shows

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 04:00:00 +0000

Teens who slept less than eight hours on weeknights consumed 2.2 percent more calories from fats and 3 percent fewer calories from carbs than teens who slept eight hours or more, according to new research. In secondary analyses stratified by sex, the results were significant among girls but not boys. Also, for each one-hour increase in sleep duration, the odds of consuming a high amount of calories from snacks decreased by an average of 21 percent.
