Today's Featured Topics



Neighborhood Exercise
To be honest, you really don't need to join a gym to exercise. There are lots of options for exercising right in your own neighborhood: walking, running, biking, and rollerblading are just several activities. For more ideas, read our review: "Neighborhood Exercise"

Exercise For Hypertension
Approximately 29% of Americans have hypertension (high blood pressure). Aerobic exercise can be very beneficial for people with hypertension, and, in many cases, may prevent it from ever developing in the first place. Read more about it in: "Exercise For Hypertension"

Pedometers
Walking is a great form of exercise for almost everyone. While it won't prepare you to compete in a triathlon or tennis tournament, it certainly will help you lose weight, and lower your risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The current recommendation is 10,000 steps per day. To keep track, you're going to need a good pedometer. Learn more at: "Pedometers"
