25. August 2009 by admin.
On October 24th of 2009 Nike+ will be hosting the Human Race 10K. It is a 10K run organized through Nike +’s website in which an organized 10K will be run in 30 select host cities all over the world and virtually by hundreds of thousands of Nike + users worldwide at their leisure and on their own select courses. This will be done with the aid of the Nike + iPod kit, Nike + iPhone, or Nike + Sportband. The hardware is needed to sync to the Nike + website to log your run in the Nike + website. If you are an avid runner, a beginning runner, or just want to try something fun and healthy with technology, this run is for you. Click on the link for details or email me with any questions. Hope to see you in the streets on race day!!!

Re-think the “workout” in Workout Shoes
17. August 2009 by admin.
A recent article in CNNHealth talks about the recent surge in so called “Toning” shoes that make claims to burn calories and tone muscles in the lower body. The article cites quotes by a podiatrist who states that he purchased a pair to try to see if he was able to get a workout and notice results from wearing them for a day. He did say that at the end of the day his legs did seem much more tired than they normally would but just that his legs are getting a “workout” doesn’t exactly mean that you are toning or doing good. I think this is an extremely accurate statement. If you walk around with a broken shoe that doesn’t exactly mean that you are doing yourself a favor and don’t have to go to the gym for the day. I haven’t see any of the quotations from some of the manufactures but if they claim that you don’t have to go to the gym or can use these shoes in place of an exercise facility then I believe that they are doing more harm than good. Jump it…

NEAT to burn extra calories.
17. August 2009 by admin.
NEAT or Non-Exercise Thermogenesis has long been known to be a large contributor to the daily expenditure of calories burned by active people. Studies have shown that more fit people fidget more during the day than other people. This fidgeting is actually beneficial in burning excess calories. So when you are working and not doing anything try walking around while talking on the phone, or tapping your fingers or even rocking an air guitar. Rock it out. Link after the jump.
