Bush says run! - Fitness FastTrack - physical exercise
Remember the president's
Challenge? Sure you do. It was the day your gym teacher made you do pull-ups before awarding patches to eight-year-olds as if they were the Medal of Honor. Now the president's fitness program encourages adults to join in, too. Test yourself in your office with whatever supplies are available.
TEST: CURL-UPS
Lie on back with knees bent. Curl up until elbows touch thighs, then lower back until shoulder blades hit floor. That's one. Challenge: 55 in one minute
TEST: SHUTTLE RUN
Make two parallel lines 30 feet apart. Place staplers behind one line. Starting on opposite line, time how long it takes to run to the staplers, pick one up, run back to the starting line, set it down, then race back for the second stapler and return. Challenge: 8.7 seconds
Common Breast Cancer Myths
The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.
Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.
Third is that it is solely hereditary
The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?
Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.
Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
