Did you know exercise is one more defense you have in fighting off a
cold or flu? Regular exercise can help to reduce the number of days you'll spend this year recovering from a cold or flu. When you exercise, disease-fighting cells in the body move from the organs into the blood stream and in turn, help you build-up immunity to the common cold or flu. In addition to regular exercise, a well-balanced diet, a good night's rest and a low stress lifestyle are all great ways to maintain your health throughout the year. |

If you talk to any guy at the gym about workouts past---you're most likely going to hear
tales of killer sets in the weight room or racquetball victories. But by this time next year- those heroic tales in the men's locker room could very well include talk of Yoga and Pilates. An unlikely scenario? Think again-many men who may think these forms of exercise are just for women may be surprised to find out some top male athletes have used Pilates or Yoga to improve their game…Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Ed Belfour, Golfer Rocco Mediate and the Cleveland Indians have all benefited from "core conditioning." Unlike routine stretching which can be so boring-yoga and pilates offers both variety and they're challenging-sometimes some of the toughest workout animals are shocked how strenuous these workouts can be. |
