For people who have a good level of fitness but do not have time to exercise or want to join a gym, jump rope or skipping has many health benefits. It improves the bone density and prevents age degenerative diseases, such as osteoporosis, as well as provides an effective cardiovascular exercise for the heart. Skipping also helps to develop hand-eye co-ordination, stamina, muscle strength, timing, balance, and endurance. Skipping effectively works the wrists, forearms, shoulders, back, calves, thighs, and buttock muscles, and burns many calories in a short amount of time. Very similar to running, skipping can be tough to…

What do you get when you combine the excitement of professional football with a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show? Why, the Lingerie Football League of course. Now, I may have overemphasized the “professional” and “football” part of that statement, but there is plenty of eye candy out there to pique the interest of both the hardcore male enthusiast and your usual strip club crowd alike. Now, sure, there have been a plethora of leagues to try and make an impact, but most of them were extremely fleeting, and had little corporate interest. The only one that really lasted was the old…

When the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired All-Star center Shaquille O’Neal this off-season, there is little doubt that it was a move that first needed the approval of star forward LeBron James. Even when they acquired Anthony Parker and Leon Powe, LeBron must have been supportive of the moves. The reason why is King James has a team and a city wrapped around his finger and they will do almost anything to keep him around. Until this last week though, none of us realized just how much power LeBron truly had. Lebron is so worshipped in Cleveland that he apparently even has…

Howdy everybody!  This Wrap comes a few hours earlier this week because, well, it’s my wife’s birthday and I didn’t want to spend her whole birthday working (so I worked during games this week.  Pretty fun actually!)  The good news is that we have PLENTY to talk about (anything I miss will come up on Wednesday in a very long version of WTRM…promise.) Let’s start with some early thoughts… Generally Speaking: –  Alright, now I’m getting confused.  Bobby Bowden gets the good fortune of not being asked to resign at FSU.  (Good for him I guess.)  Then his team gets…

A great way to sustain muscle tissue and help to keep the metabolism high is to eat regularly throughout the day. Eating regularly tricks the mind into keeping the metabolic rate high. When a person feels hungry, their brain automatically knows this and releases a hormone called Grelin, which informs the person they are hungry. If a person has an extreme hunger, they may take in more calories than the body actually needs. When a person gets into the routine of eating smaller nutritional meals throughout the day, on average every three hours, i.e. oatcakes and peanut butter, a handful…

Any form of exercise is important, not just for the heart and to strengthen muscle tissue, but to improve the mood and immune system, but how often should you train? Some people train every day, and always will, others train 2-3 times per week. It depends on what kind of exercise is performed. If it is cardiovascular exercise, it is probably best to train every other day and consume a healthy diet 80% of the time. Cardiovascular exercise is important to build a stronger heart, but it can also eat into the muscle tissue with long training sessions over 45…
