Well, we’ve all heard that the physical education programs at schools don’t keep the kids active enough anymore, but some teachers appear to be taking things into their own hands by a story that I recently read. A schoool teacher in Georgia says that she uses yoga for her students to be able to relax and absorb their learning lessons more readily as well as to help them bust stress. Think kids don’t suffer stress like adults do? Think again!

I made my boyfriend do a 30 minute yoga DVD with me for the first time ever just a couple of days ago. Why? Well, he has a problem with breathing correctly, and I told him that yoga would help him to regulate his breathing. Also, he is not flexible at all and never stretches before he works out, one of the worst things you can do for your muscles since they are more prone to stiffness and injury if you don’t stretch them properly before you work them out or bulk them up.

I think that I might buy myself a Christmas present this year with my annual bonus from work. I really want a suspended punching bag like professional boxers use, along with the little bag that suspends from the top of the contraption that goes back and forth as you punch it from the side. You can also do roundhouse kicks to the large bag, which is an excellent exercise for the legs and outer thighs, which you know I’m a big fan of.

I recently purchased the exercise DVD called Love Your Legs online, and wanted to give you guys a review of it, even though most of the reviews I read on it gave a lot of info already, I still wanted to give you my own personal spin on what I think of this DVD. It’s not a very well known DVD right now as far as I know, although the fact that the renowned dermatologist and one of the cellulite authorities, Dr. Howard Murad, even appears on the DVD and gives his advice on how to get rid of cellulite.

Yep! Just when you thought you’d seen everything, and all the fanciest cellular phones that will do everything but make you a pot of coffee, there is now a state of the art phone that is purporting to act as your personal trainer, wherever you go, whether you want it to or not! It sounds almost like your very own little mini drill sergeant to me!

I purchased a DVD called “Love Your Legs” that is a video that is supposed to help with that dreaded female atrocity that all women hate called cellulite. Cellulite affects a large percentage of women – we’re talking above 95% most likely, so cellulite has been a target of the beauty industry for years, with new creams and products coming out all the time that are supposed to help reduce the appearance of cellulite – and many of them do make a little difference.

To maintain optimum health, it is imperative to drink an adequate amount of water each day. Water is the best type of liquid to maintain proper hydration. Other sources of liquid may quench your thirst, but water aids the process of digestion, absorption, elimination and dilutes toxins the best to benefit your body.

Certain liquids that contain caffeine or alcohol are actually diuretics and will cause you to excrete more water than you take in. Often, people have mild dehydration during the day at some time and don’t recognize it. The recommended intake of water per day is eight glasses of water that are eight ounce size.

I know it’s a bit early to be asking for gifts or even thinking about what to buy others. Well, maybe not so much for some early birds who routinely start shopping months early for Christmas so they can avoid the holiday rushed and the inevitably picked over racks of merchandise at malls around the holidays. I myself tend to fall somewhere in between. While I wouldn’t consider myself an early Christmas shopped, I also don’t consider myself a last minute Christmas shopper who is still out on Christmas Eve putting the finishing touches on her Christmas shopping.
