A Celebration Is In Order

Posted by Sean on May 20, 2009

If you’ve been following my horribly bumpy blogging journey, you’ve noticed the changes over the past couple months. HECK I’ve made changes to my flippin’ blog almost every 3 months! (I really wish that was an exaggeration).

Well along with my changes I started to track when I actually started officially blogging. If you gander your eyes over to the right sidebar of my blog you’ll notice my Blogoversary :

I can’t BELIEVE that in 4 days I will have been blogging for a full year.

Wholly CRAP.

Whew, I’m going to have to do something. Just don’t know what?

Party

Improved Physical Fitness Lowers Your Risk of Death

Posted by Sean on May 20, 2009

Yes, you read that right. Death. All-cause death from coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease. There is a new study that suggests increasing your cardio respiratory fitness can lower your risk of death, plain and simple.

Physical fitness is typically expressed as cardio respiratory fitness (CRF) and is assessed by exercise tolerance testing…

Compared with participants with high CRF, those with low CRF had a 70 percent higher risk for all-cause death and a 56 percent higher risk for CHD/CVD events

It doesn’t get any simpler than that folks. Do you want to live longer? Or die sooner?

So once again I ask you, why are you not exercising to improve your level of fitness?

Carpe Diem

Some speculate that this myth dates back to the baby-boom generation, who had worse acne than their parents and also more access to chocolate and fried foods. Wherever this idea came from, it’s wrong.
