Taking lessons

If it’s your first time on skis, there are several ways you can learn the proper style and technique. You can teach yourself, learn from a friend or take lessons from a professional ski instructor. Teaching yourself might not be the recommended option. There are more risks of injury and you can learn some bad habits. This could result in missing out on some (or most) of the fun, getting discouraged and not enjoying the sport. (Read the article)

** If you would rather see pictures of nude yoga as opposed to reading about it - then visit our Yoga Poses Page **

Nude aerobics yoga may sound vulgar, offensive and impossible but it does exists. A lot of people may not practice doing this but there are some who would really prefer doing nude aerobics yoga.

Nude aerobics yoga may imply something not applicable to some culture and society. There are some places that might not respect that kind of practice.

They say nudity is healthy natural. Those who do nude aerobics yoga say that clothes keep them disturbed and it prevents the flow of air in getting inside the body. This may be funny but they really think it that way. For them, wearing clothes is like an excess baggage. (Read the article)

Bodybuilders are such a touchy bunch. There are probably a couple of guys experiencing “roid rage” right now! I know that most bulky guys look at male fitness models and think that they are wimpy. You see many bodybuilders are under the impression that everyone wants to be as big and strong as them. They see a guy who is lifting lighter weights and doing cardio as someone who isn’t as successful in the gym as them. They mistakenly believe that bigger muscles equates to being more attractive to women. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Male Fitness Models Are Built Like Hollywood Sex Symbols

How many male sex symbols are huge and buff? Do you think any of the current Hollywood sex symbols can bench press over 400 pounds? What about stars like Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, Jamie Fox, Will Smith, Jared Leto, Daniel Craig (the new James Bond), etc. Women are attracted to men with average builds, but with great muscle tone. How many men who star in Soap Operas are huge and buff? The answer is that with very rare exceptions, it pays to have a lean muscle build…not a bulky bodybuilder type look. (Read the article)

With the popularity that Red Bull energy drinks comes the speculations about the side effects that it may have on those who are taking them.

From the time that Red Bull first came out in the market, it became an instant hit among those who have tried and tested its effects on the body. It is no wonder why this energy drink have become a household name in no time at all.

But along with its popularity came the speculations about its side effects. The idea is that if something is that good, then there must be something in the ingredient that can bring the opposite reaction. This may be one of the thoughts that the not-so-convinced consumers have in mind. (Read the article)

One of the most serious threats to backcountry or heli skiers and snowboarders are avalanches. But, the fact that nearly all avalanches which endanger people are triggered by the skiers or boarders themselves means that in most cases, they are preventable.

An avalanche doesn’t recognise whether or not you are an expert. But, if you are well-informed or otherwise aware, you can minimise your exposure to risk and the chances of ending up as a statistic. A combination of experience, education and awareness of continuingly changing environmental factors will enable you to balance good backcountry or heli skiing with a high degree of safety.

Actually this article was posted at Ananova, but I had to repost it her - just made me laugh. You will notice that I put this under Physical Activity as the category - why - because if you are in good shape, you can treat punks to a taste of their own medicine. Here is the article:

Three teenage thugs ended up in hospital after trying to steal a junior kick-boxing and karate champ’s mobile phone.

The trio, all aged 17, cornered Pauli Borchardt, also 17, as he made his way home from a friend’s house in Hamburg, Germany.

After refusing to hand over his mobile phone, which he was using at the time to call his brother, the trio tried to take it by force.

But the amateur kick-boxing and karate champ floored all three of them before making it to his home on the same street.

One of the thugs was kept in hospital after a passer-by spotted them on the ground and called an ambulance. The other two were released after being treated for cuts and bruises.

Police, who initially went to arrest Borchardt after the trio told them a gang of lads led by the 17-year-old had attacked them with baseball bats, were soon put straight and are now investigating the three on suspicion of attempted robbery.
