New Food Pyramid

Well, after very much pomp and circumstance, the FDA has finally released the official new Food Pyramid. There are some significant changes, and for the first time, exercise itself is part of the deal - as it always should have been! Also, the new version has some great resources, like the following MyPyramid site that allows you to get a personalized version, complete with tips, food lists, snack ideas, etc. Check it out:

Beating People Up

Okay, did you really think that I was going to write a blog about beating people up?? What about if I just talk about boxing and martial arts, and then YOU can decide if you want to beat people up?

Whew! Guilt free at last....

Anyway, we have just added a new partner to the website who specializes in boxing and martial arts equipment, so get your punching bag on here: Fitness Equipment

The reason why this is so momentous is because boxing, kickboxing, and martial arts are not just good for the body, they are good for the SOUL! Whether it be the confidence boost that you get by realizing that you can break bricks with your forehead, the flexibility that you get from having your instructor stretch you like Plastic Man, or the incredible cardiovascular endurance that you get from bobbing, weaving, ducking, punching, kicking, and chewing gum at the same time, get your fighting skills on track!

You never know, you may have to beat up some old lady who is trying to get the last can of cranberry sauce the night before Thanksgiving... ;)
