Back
on April 27, 2010, the Santa Clara County (California) Board of Supervisors
approved an ordinance banning the use of toys to encourage children to eat
unhealthy meals offered by restaurants. This was the first move by a
government body to try to address the obesity epidemic that is plaguing
America's children. Then on Nov. 2, 2010, the San Francisco Board of
Supervisors voted 8-3 to require that kids' meals meet certain nutritional
standards before they can be sold with toys. This law sets the bar for
healthy children's meals as those "that have less than 600 calories,
contain fruits and vegetables, and include beverages without excessive fat
or sugar." 
Circuit
training is doing a number of exercises back to back (short exercise bursts
with intensity) including a short recovery or break between exercises. This
type of exercise is known for numerous health benefits including helping
you achieve your fitness goals faster. You can add in cardio exercise
including running in place, jumping rope, or using equipment such as a
treadmill, elliptical or stair-stepper. It's a great technique to focus on
strength and cardiovascular training to sculpt your own body. You can
experiment with a large variety of exercises and equipment at whatever
intensity you choose. You compete only with yourself, and you don't have to
be in sync with others. Use these 10 examples to jumpstart your new workout
routine.
Originated
in ancient India, the practice of yoga helps many achieve spiritual insight
and peace from their hectic lives by challenging the body to go beyond its
current limitations through a series of poses. Over the years, yoga has
evolved to include many different variations, providing a wide range of
mental and physical benefits. Regardless of the type of yoga style you
choose, expect any yoga class to provide a serious mind/body workout well
worth your time. Here are 3 types of yoga classes you can try.
