Fitness Tip of the Day!
Exercises for Osteoporosis
It turns out that exercises such as cycling, swimming, and walking aren't that beneficial for osteoporosis. The best exercises create some type of "impact" or flexing of the skeleton. So, opt for sports that involve jumping (basketball, volleyball), or sports that require change-in-direction running (field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, tennis). For people who can't do strenuous exercise, simple jumping jacks are beneficial.

E-Mail and Spam

Starting on January 19th, we were notified by several people that we had "spammed" them.

We didn't.....at least, not intentionally.

It appears that spam messages were sent out under the guise of our "SUPPORT@athleteinme.com" address. We apologize for this, but, again, these messages were NOT sent by us. As of Tuesday January 24th, we believe we have made the changes necessary to shut down these spam messages.

But, just so you know:

We NEVER send spam. Also, we NEVER add a person's e-address into the subscriber database for our monthly e-newsletter without their permission. To do that is wrong, and, it's disrespectful. Further, we NEVER share anyone's contact info after they provide it to us. You can trust that we will always respect your privacy.

Since 2007, about 1 billion spam messages are sent each day! According to WikiPedia, about 88-92% of e-messages sent during the first half of 2010 were spam. This is infuriating. But, it's also reality.

If you receive a spam message that you think is from us, please forward it to us. Please reset your Preferences to display the entire routing header first....that will help us track down the servers these messages originate from. We will do what we can to suppress this activity.

To help put a stop to this, also forward your spam messages to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@UCE.gov.

Plyometrics
Many people may not have heard of "plyometrics" but it's a training technique that has been around for quite a while. It's not for beginners, but, if you're ready, it can add a lot of explosive strength to your jumps and agility. Read more about it at: "Plyometrics"

Do You Read Food Labels?
The labels you see on packaged foods are a result of then-FDA commissioner David Kessler's efforts to prevent orange juice manufacturers from calling their product "fresh" if it wasn't. Yep, that's how it started back in the 70's. Since then, food labels have been revised several times. There's a lot of useful info there, if you know how to interpret it. Learn more about it at: "Food Labels"
