[Quote No.21837] Need Area: Body > Exercise
"[Pedometers are relatively cheap and measure one of the oldest, gentlest and most effective methods of getting in shape and controlling weight namely walking for exercise. Walking over time should also improve the quality of your sleep, give you more energy, reduce fatigue, lift your mood and alertness throughout the day and perhaps increase your self confidence and feelings of wellbeing. While the number of steps should increase the fitter you get, you should aim to build up from around 5000 steps to around 10-15,000 steps per day, every day of the week.] The distance is not important - you just need to keep your step count up. [10,000 steps is approximately eight kilometres or one hour and forty minutes of walking, ninety minutes of moderate activity like swimming or cycling, or fifty minutes of vigorous activity like football or squash.] A person who weighs 80kg will burn around 4.2kj for every 25 steps taken [or 1680kj for every 10,000 steps]" - Dr Garry Egger

[Quote No.25976] Need Area: Body > Exercise
"[Self-Defence and Martial Arts:] I have always done some physical exercising, which undoubtedly has helped me stay in good health. But the main benefit I drew from my boxing was the ability to control my temper and the added self-confidence I drew from my improved physique. I have been told – and I agree – that it is easier to be conciliatory and understanding when you know that, if this fails, you will be there with the sock." - Bernard Baruch
(1870 – 1965), Famous American financier, stockbroker, share market investor, statesman. He wrote two autobiographies - the first about his Wall Street career called, ‘Baruch - My Own Story’ and a second about his years in public service called, ‘Baruch – The Public Years’.

[Quote No.26093] Need Area: Body > Exercise
"[Self-Defense and Martial Arts:] When obliged to live in cities, I for a long time found that boxing and wrestling enabled me to get a good deal of exercise in condensed and attractive form...I then took up jiu-jitsu for a year or two. [He studied jiu-jitsu with Professor Yoshiaki (Yoshitsugu) Yamashita, eventually attaining the brown-belt rank.]...
When I was in the Legislature and was working very hard, with little chance of getting out of doors, all the exercise I got was boxing and wrestling...Powerful, vigorous men of strong animal development must have some way in which their animal spirits can find vent. When I was Police Commissioner I found (and Jacob Riis will back me up in this) that the establishment of a boxing club in a tough neighborhood always tended to do away with knifing and gun-fighting among the young fellows who would otherwise have been in murderous gangs. Many of these young fellows were not naturally criminals at all, but they had to have some outlet for their activities. In the same way I have always regarded boxing as a first-class sport to encourage in the Young Men's Christian Association. I do not like to see young Christians with shoulders that slope like a champagne bottle." - Theodore 'Teddy' Roosevelt
Twenty-sixth President of the United States. From his autobiography, 'Vigor of Life'.

[Quote No.26226] Need Area: Body > Exercise
"[Self-Defence and Martial Arts:] I do not believe that fighting is the primary goal of martial arts in contemporary times. I believe that it has far greater potential. Hatsumi Sensei [says] that it is to produce higher human beings and create peace. Although these may sound like lofty ideals, we have all witnessed the personal evolution of practitioners and seen the spirit of friendship flourish between countries. In many cases, the Bujinkan has created friendships between students even when their home countries were still hostile." - Peter King

"Push-ups are a terrific way to build upper-body strength and endurance. They're also a symbol of fitness and vigor...Push-ups engage multiple muscle groups, including the chest, the triceps, and the shoulders. Plus, they require abdominal strength for stability. And you can do them anywhere. [Passing the test for the U.S. military requires at least 24 repetitions for a 37-to- 41 year-old man, and six for a woman in the same age group.]

"Last year [2007], Arthur Kramer, Ph.D., did some groundbreaking studies at the University of Illinois. His research found that merely 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise three to five times a week could increase the size of the brain. The mechanism? A powerful chemical called Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF). Harvard Professor of Psychiatry John Ratey, M.D., has called this substance 'Miracle-Gro for the brain'." - Jonny Bowden

[Quote No.29914] Need Area: Body > Exercise
"There are some things we should NOT do to our muscles. One of the worst is to stop moving them.
Swedish and American scientists teamed up to find out just how bad complete bed rest is for muscles. In the study, they subjected eight men to a three-day period of lower-limb suspension (for one leg only).
They tracked how quickly the muscles started to break down - and saw significant increases in muscle loss after only three days of complete inactivity. They eventually identified this initial period as the time when muscle was lost most rapidly.
That's bad news for anyone who breaks a limb, is laid up for several days, or for folks who decide they just don't want to be active anymore.
If you get injured or sick, consult with your doctor on how you can limit muscle loss. If you are healthy, don't let days go by without exercising. You'll lose muscle faster than you can imagine. And you'll have to work twice as hard to get it back.
The great thing about resistance training is that it is not only the best way to build strength and muscle, but you can get great results in as little as 10-15 minutes, three times per week. For example, choose one pushing exercise and one pulling exercise - maybe push-ups and dumbbell rows. Alternate between them for 3 sets. You can do this in 5-7 minutes.
Resistance training is fast, fun, and effective for helping you keep valuable muscle tissue." - Craig Ballantyne

[Quote No.31671] Need Area: Body > Exercise
"One of the best things you can do when you exercise is vary the pace.
Sometimes you train as fast as you can - provided you can do it with good form. You run hill sprints. You skip rope. You crack out a set of powerful push-ups.
Sometimes you train at a moderate speed - walking, swimming, bear crawling, or duck waddling.
At other times you train at a slow or even super-slow speed. You concentrate on the FEEL of the exercise - inside your body as well as in your muscles." - Matt Furey
