Are You Doing The World’s Best Exercise?

00:00 /

Researchers recently asked a bunch of fitness pro’s from around the world to name the best exercise. The Fat Guy said sex. Dr Fitness guessed swimming. But we were both wrong.

Burpees or squat thrusts got an unusually large amount of votes because that exercise engages a lot of muscle groups. Squats got some votes as did interval training. But the exercise on most people’s list was….wait for it…brisk walking for 30 minutes a day 5 days a week.

The thought behind brisk walking as the best exercise was that it was easy to do, you don’t need any expensive equipment, people who walked were able to stay compliant over long periods of time, the injury risk was minimal and if you regularly walked at a brisk enough pace you can attain your fitness and weight loss goals. So go for a walk today to celebrate this discovery. What is your favorite exercise?

Stories from Viet Nam Veterans

April 27, 2011 by angishields

Let me state clearly up front, I am no Tom Brokaw. His book The Greatest Generation is a powerfully written book. The stories and reflections captured me completely when I read the book. Brokaw’s concept has motivated me to want to capture stories from veterans of the Viet Nam War. I’ve begun the process by asking my friends who are Viet Nam veterans to share their stories with me. I’ll be in my hometown of Greenville, PA in the coming week and have put out the word that I’d like to collect stories from my classmates who served in Viet Nam and any other veterans from that war. I’ve asked them to meet for a couple hours one afternoon to talk and share. I want to hear their stories: the ones of battle, life in base camp, what went on during R&R (that is shareable), memories of friends. Are you a Viet Nam veteran? Do you know some Viet Nam veterans? Please email me; have your friends contact me. I’d like to hear your stories as well.

How To Make A Perfect Hard Boiled Egg Every Time

00:00 /

I didn’t really think that making hard boiled eggs were that difficult but Dr Fitness seems to think he has a foolproof way to make them perfectly every time. He says the key is not to overcook them. Here is his recipe. Cover your egg(s) in a pot with cold water. Make sure the water is about 1″-2″ inches higher than the eggs. Boil the water. Now turn off the heat, move the pot to another burner and cover the eggs. Wait 12 minutes. Now give those eggs a cold water bath. Some people like to take the shells off when the eggs are warm and some people like to wait until the eggs cool off. We don’t judge here.

How To Clean Fruits and Vegetables

00:00 /

It’s always a good idea to clean your fresh fruit and vegetables. Rinsing them with water is a good start but with all the bacteria and pesticides on everything these days you may want to take up your cleaning a notch. This was is something you can whip up in bulk then transfer it to a spray bottle you keep near your sink so it is always ready for you.

Mix together some lemon juice, some distilled vinegar and some baking soda. Pour that into a big jug of water. Shake it up then pour some into your spray bottle. Now spritz that stuff on your fruits and vegetables while you wash them off with tap water.
