Build Your Upper Body Muscles by Swimming
January 13, 2008
You’ve heard that swimming is a great total-body exercise. But did you also know that it’s especially effective at toning your upper body? Unlike running, swimming gives your arm muscles an excellent workout, whether you do the backstroke, front crawl, or the more challenging butterfly stroke.

The Couch Potato Routine
January 18, 2008
Yes! I am proud of the rather strong musculature around my right hand thumb. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can beat me at thumb wrestling! I mean, really!

If you take the bus to and from work, walk a station or two further than the ones you get on and off on. If your offices are on the 29th ...

You need to do some stretching and generate some muscle movement to help your body cope with the strain of sitting down all day.
