Among the many jockish things on Mr. Low Body Fat's blog one will
find links to items that are of use to those of us trying to find
fitness activities that fit into a non-violent lifestyle.

Initial reaction to the Wii Fit

My initial reaction to the Wii Fit is that it moves very slowly.  Doesn't motivate me to come back for more,  although there is a lot of potential there.

I found the Rayman Raving Rabbids more interesting ;)

HOWEVER,  I will persist because I think it will pick up.

There are aspects of the Fit which would be nice to customize.  For example there are places where a whistle is blown....  my wife says "Nobody blows a whistle at me"  & I concur.  Any kind of sound could be used...  the "listen-up coach whistle" is not necessary.

Music Is Elementary

This is a great place for simple but interesting musical instruments
and books.

Lots of percussion instruments, economically priced.

Great explanation of the pain I have experienced and exercises to
alleviate it.

Plus a good bibliography.

And an interesting gateway into the world of bellydance! Something I've
always appreciated.

The Effects of Stress and Overload

We all know that too much stress is bad for us. Sure, you can't avoid stress completely, and without some stress we would never grow. But too much stress? It leads to problems.

Stress leads to many health problems, for example: headaches, muscle aches in your shoulders, neck, back … it ages you prematurely, leads to ulcers, heartburn, high blood pressure, heart disease, overeating and more. Not a pretty picture.

essence is to cut back, monitor activities,  and plan.

Body Electric with Margaret Richard

This is a show I have followed on and off over the years.

Decided to review it again recently.

It fits very well into my philosophy of peace aerobics.

Look for it on your local Public TV channel.
