Vigorous exercise is not only enjoyable, but has actually been found to have a number of health benefits. The first of these is weight loss. Studies suggest that participating in a structured exercise routine for at least thirty minutes five days a week is a great way to lose weight. Vigorous exercise has also been found to be effective in the treatment of chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, and can also work as a mood booster. This is especially important for those suffering from depression and other mental conditions.
One of the most important benefits of vigorous exercise is weight loss. Though sticking to a low-fat, low-calorie diet has also been found to be important, studies have found that engaging in vigorous activity is one of the best ways to lose weight. Some studies suggest that those who want to lose weight must participate in at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise five days a week. Good examples of cardiovascular exercise include walking, cycling, and swimming. Though 30 minutes may be enough time for some individuals to lose weight, others may need to increase the amount of time spent exercising.
Vigorous exercise has also been found to be effective in the treatment of a number of chronic conditions, the most common of these being heart disease. Exercise can not only help in the reduction of body weight — a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease — but can also aid in the treatment and prevention of high blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and other serious conditions. In addition, some research suggests that vigorous exercise may be effective in the treatment of certain types of cancer. Those who have been diagnosed with these conditions and are interested in starting an exercise program should first consult with their physician in order to make sure they are healthy enough for exercise.
People who suffer from depression or other mental disorders may also see some improvement in their condition when participating in a vigorous exercise routine. Exercise has been found to be an effective mood booster, releasing certain hormones that have been linked to increased levels of happiness. In some cases, exercising on a regular basis has proven to be just as effective as taking antidepressants and other prescription medications. As with those suffering from chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease or cancer, those with depression or other mental disorders may want to consult with a physician before starting exercise.

The main reason I enjoy vigorous exercise is because I know I am burning calories and fat while doing it. I get a feeling of being in control.
I am currently trying to lose ten pounds. Though I do feel good when I'm able to eat a bran muffin instead of a donut, I feel even better when I'm able to get rid of calories by swimming laps around the pool.
I think this is because I feel like I'm actually doing something about the situation that is making me unhappy. It's a great feeling to know that you are working vigorously toward your goal.
It really opens up my lungs, and I feel like I can breathe better. I also feel very clear-headed, and I am ready to meet the weight-loss challenge.

I don't know exactly how many calories you burn while running, but I bet it's a lot. I like to run until I can't catch my breath and my body gives out from fatigue.
It relieves stress in a major way. If I've had a stressful day, a good run will pump the problems out of my mind as my heart powerfully pumps blood through my body.
There's nothing more therapeutic than vigorous exercise. I hope I stay physically fit long enough to enjoy it for many more decades. I believe it has kept me from developing high blood pressure.

@giddion – I don't enjoy vigorous exercise at all! I hate the feeling of being out of breath, and that is the main reason I have slacked off of my physical fitness routine.
I prefer light exercise, like walking for twenty minutes a day. My heart beats a little faster, but I'm not gasping for air and feeling on the verge of a heart attack.
Vigorous exercise terrifies me, because it makes me feel like I'm close to death's door. I know some people enjoy it, but I don't like it when my heart is beating super hard and my chest aches because I'm not getting enough oxygen.
Post 1
It's been a long time since I've done any vigorous physical activity. I do remember how invigorating it felt to get my heart racing to the point of exhaustion, though. Something about being totally out of breath is very satisfying.

Lionel Stokes was inducted to the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in the sport of curling.
Lionel began curling on his high school team in Alberta and in 1959 he moved to the Yukon and continued to curl. Until 1975 the only way the Yukon could enter the Canadian Curling Championship Playdowns was by qualifying at the BC Interior Playdowns. Lionel competed in these playdowns ten times from 1960 to 1974 as lead skip. Through this experience he became a renowned team player, good sport and dedicated curling organizer. In 1975 Yukon and North West Territories were granted entry to the Canadian Championships. Lionel curled at these Championships in 1975 as lead and 1977 as second. In 1977 Lionel was voted All-Star Second at the Canadian Brier. In 1973 and 1974 Lionel and his team toured Europe on a goodwill curling marathon that was successful in gaining Yukon and Canadian recognition worldwide. Another highlight of Lionel's curling career was his team's win at the 1981 Peace Country Curling Classic.
In addition to his athletic ability, Lionel spent many years serving curling committees, organizing curling events and he also initiated the Bert Boyd Memorial Trophy.

With all the Academy Award hullabaloo this week, you may not have associated the honored movies with Culver City. You probably think of Hollywood as the home of all the movies. But Culver City, just a few miles away, is a small town that holds a surprising history of the silver screen as well. With its recently renovated downtown, it's a place where you can enjoy breakfast at a sidewalk café, stroll along, and visit the historic Culver Hotel.
Founded in 1924, Culver City calls itself The Heart of Screenland. It was home to Goldwyn Studios, Cecil deMille Studios, and MGM studios in the early 1900s. Later the Desilu Productions studio in Hollywood opened a branch here. The Wizard of Oz (MGM) and Gone With The Wind (Selznick International) both came out of Culver City.
The industry heritage shows up as you walk around the welcoming downtown. The Kirk Douglas Theater is open for business. And, oh hi, Luci and Ricky!
The centerpiece of downtown is the Culver Hotel, opened in 1924 by city founder Harry Culver. At almost a century old, this iconic hotel maintains its elegance. You can almost hear echoes of the stars and dignitaries who have visited. During the 1920s, with prohibition in place, the lounges and "secret" rooms of the hotel surely saw a lot of partying. Today, events such as wedding receptions take place regularly in this beautiful setting.
"City packed with visitors for opening of Culver Skyscraper" were the headlines in the Culver City Daily News when the hotel opened. This is amusing now, but the hotel is certainly tall and thin, though we now are used to buildings much taller.
As we were leaving, we walked by the patio café and found this blue velvet sofa. Glamourous, don't you think?
If you are in the Los Angeles area, plan to stop in Culver City and enjoy a meal in one of restaurants and check out the lobby of the Culver Hotel. And dream of days gone by in this heart of screenland.

"Whether you fancy hosting an afternoon tea to rival the Queen's, or simply want to treat your nearest and dearest to freshly baked scones swamped with jam and cream. So bring out your best china, lay out your gingham and prepare to feast together like never before."
Bakers have been showing off their creations across Twitter to celebrate the event.

We are now a Cycle to Work scheme provider!
Jurassic Electric Bikes has been pioneered the use of electric bikes in West Dorset since 2012 and we've been selling electric bikes direct to the public for the last 2 years from our showroom in Lynch Lane, Weymouth.
We are very excited to announce that we have just joined the Green Commute Initiative (GCI), a national cycle to work scheme that makes it much more affordable for employees to obtain their own electric bike.
The key advantage of GCI is that it covers the full cost of an electric bike and all related accessories and is not capped at £1000 like similar schemes already out there. The employee pays for their new electric bike through salary sacrifice which means a saving of up to 42% on the actual retail price.
Why no £1,000 limit ?
In most cycle to work schemes, the employer hires the equipment to the employee. As GCI is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, it is the organisation that hires bike directly to the employee and so there is no £1000 limit.
How does GCI work?
The employer buys a voucher for the hire of a bike and provides it to the employee. GCI purchases a bike from Jurassic Electric Bikes and hires it directly to the employee. The employee repays all of the cost of the voucher via salary sacrifice.
As this is made from gross pay, higher rate taxpayers will save 42% and lower rate taxpayers save 32% of the retail price of the bike. For an electric bike that normally retails at £1500, this would mean an actual saving of £630 for a higher rate and £480 for a lower rate tax payer.
Am I eligible?
Yes, if you are a UK PAYE taxpayer, providing your employer is willing and the salary sacrifice doesn't take you below minimum wage. Salary sacrifice agreements can be for 6, 12,18 or 24 months to help spread the cost.
What are the end of scheme arrangements?
Simply pay £1 and the bike is yours. Unlike other cycle to work schemes, there's no 7% end of scheme sting if you want to own the bike.
Further information is available on the Green Commute Initiative website and if you think this would be something of interest to you or your colleagues please call us on 07796 135256 now.

Three film critics have quit the Evening Standard Theatre Awards judging panel after Helen Mirren won the award in a supposedly rigged ceremony.
According to The Times, Mirren was given the Natasha Richardson Award for Best Actress for her performance as the Queen in The Audience only after two of the critics revised their votes when their original choice was removed from the list.
Henry Hitchings had intended to vote for Rosalie Craig, but when she was removed from the list he gave his vote to Mirren.
"In discussion about what was a dead heat, Henry and I decided that we would go for an option that would make Helen Mirren the winner," said Evening Standard editor Sarah Sands. "By doing a first and second vote we could balance the two factions with a third option, which is what happened."
An Evening Standard spokesman told told the Daily Mail that "the judging for the Evening Standard Theatre awards was conducted properly" and that "the transferable vote is a perfectly legitimate and long standing element of judging."
The three judges to have left the panel are Charles Spencer a theatre critic for The Telegraph, Georgina Brown of The Mail on Sunday and Susannah Clapp, of The Observer.
One of the critics reportedly said the awards "seemed like a fix."
The other contenders for the Natasha Richardson Award were Linda Bassett, Lesley Manville, Billie Piper and Kristin Scott Thomas.

Sourcefire acquires open source ClamAV
Sourcefire, maker of the popular Snort open source IDS tool, has acquired ClamAV, an open source email gateway scanning tool.
Sourcefire founder and chief technology officer Martin Roesch vowed earlier this year to expand his company's product portfolio. Friday, the maker of the popular Snort open source intrusion defense (IDS) tool took a step in that direction by announcing the acquisition of ClamAV, an open source email gateway antivirus and antimalware project.
In a statement, Roesch said ClamAV will broaden Sourcefire's open source footprint and enable the company to develop new products and services as part of its Enterprise Threat Management network security portfolio. In addition to email gateway scanning, ClamAV software provides a number of automated utilities including a multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner and automatic database updates.
"This will not only broaden our reach, but will also allow us to extend our product family into a number of intriguing new markets," he said, adding that the success of the ClamAV project is a "direct reflection of the talent and dedication of the founding team and the project community," he said.
Roesch said Sourcefire will continue to invest in the ClamAV technology, as it has with Snort and Snort.org. ClamAV updates are downloaded by about a million users a day across 38 countries and, like Snort, is one of the more popular open source security tools.
Sourcefire CEO Wayne Jackson said in a conference call with reporters Friday that he expects ClamAV to begin shipping as part of the Enterprise Threat Management network in the latter half of 2008. He also reiterated Sourcefire's intention to keep ClamAV as an open source tool.
"As a succesful open source project, ClamAV benefits from the expertise of hundreds if not thousands of individuals who contribute to the rapid evolution of the ClamAV inspection technology and the vast library of ClamAV malware signatures," he said.
Under terms of the deal, Sourcefire will assume control of the ClamAV project, including the ClamAV.org domain, Web site content and the ClamAV Sourceforge project page. The ClamAV team will officially become Sourcefire employees, continuing management of the project on a daily basis, according to the statement.
Financial terms of the transaction was not disclosed.
"Sourcefire is a well-respected company in the open source arena, and they really understand how to balance open source community investment with the commercial needs of their customers," project founder Tomasz Kojm said in a statement.
The past year and a half has been eventful for Sourcefire. In November the company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to raise up to $75 million in an initial public offering (IPO) of stock. Seven months earlier, Check Point had dropped plans to acquire Sourcefire amid concerns that foreign ownership of Snort would threaten U.S. national security.
At the Gartner IT Security Summit in Washington D.C. in June, Roesch told SearchSecurity.com that the war chest Sourcefire has developed as a newly public company would be used for future acquisitions.
"We're looking at certain M&A (mergers and acquisitions) transactions in spaces that complement what we're doing now," he said at the time. "We're looking for ways to leverage open source more effectively."

Before the scandals, Tiger Woods was the poster child for how parents can train their kids into sports stars.
He began putting while still in diapers, and by age two, he was showing Bob Hope how to drive a ball on The Mike Douglas Show.
But starting sports training early is by no means new: four year olds play T-ball, and second graders play football. Gymnasts can start at age four or five.
What's changed recently, is that the offerings have grown, and the "athletes" are getting younger. There are programs for babies only four months old. One claims you may even be able to train an infant as she leaves the hospital.
And at Lil Kickers in Chicago, the kids learn soccer skills even as they're learning to walk.
And at age 18 months to two years old, there's no pressure or competition, explained Director Jordan Bley.
"We are a child development program," Bley explains.
They do wear uniforms, and there is a soccer ball, and Bley said there are parents who show up clearly "wanting their kids to be the next great soccer pro."
But in fact, Bley says that what the kids are really learning is how to get along with each other and follow parents directions.
Sports medicine pediatrician Cynthia Labella said that's age-appropriate, and she says that's the key. Kids develop at a certain pace.
"Skills like kicking a ball, throwing a ball, or swinging a bat, these skills are developed later in childhood. Exposing a toddler to these skills earlier is not going to speed up the process," said Labella.
She said that most kids start at age eight or nine, and the danger of starting much earlier is that the child can burnout.
"You may end up frustrating that child, turning them off on that activity because they can't do it yet," she warned.
What Labella believes may work is exposing a child to many sports without emphasizing one, and allowing them to acquire age-appropriate skills in a broad range of environments and activities outside the home and family.
But if a parent has dreams about their child becoming a star by starting early, the pediatrician says they need to understand that the goal may be unrealistic.
Infant Athletes: Are They Getting a Leg Up?
The business of training infant, toddler athletes has grown in recent years

I've gotta say, your physique, your look, with the glasses, and mustache, the Rough Riders look fits you the best, IMO. Well done.
Yeah I think I'm a natural Teddy. You know the glasses are fake though?
My favourite is the naval brigade by far, probably because it's the one that took the most effort. That's what I wore on stage this year. I was gutted I didn't even make runner up
I think your Naval Brigade outfit is my favorite, as well. I love your rifle and the fact that you carried a saber! -Just on a personal note, I can't for the life of me figure out why society frowns on daily sword carry! I must admit that I truly have always hated those straw boater hats from that era - spending time as a kid at the Henry Ford / Greenfield Village living history museum as a kid, they were everywhere - but you made it work, even though I much prefer the beret. Also, I love your Rough Rider outfit and your Texas Rocket Ranger pistol is pretty awesome. Must have been a lot of work put into that. I know that gutted feeling well, Sir. No matter how good your work is, sometimes that's how it goes. Beautiful work, keep it up!
Not a sabre, a M1871 Cutlass-Bayonet! All my swords and knives are made "pub-safe" for the very reason you state. Here's how I made this one:
I hear you about the straw hat, my daughter said I looked like a grumpy school girl

It is very common these days to hear people talking about strengthening 'the core?' What is it? Why would we want to strengthen it? How do we strengthen it?
The core is the area of your trunk, and it is the foundation for all of your movement. Just like a house has to have a firm foundation in order for it to be stable, the body has to have a firm foundation in order to move well and decrease chances of injury with activity.
The core consists of four groups of muscles: the abdominals, the back stabilizers, the pelvic floor and the diaphragm. Research shows that when a person has back pain, these muscles are often inhibited. Improving the strength of the core muscles can decrease back pain and decrease compressive forces through the spine. Not only that, but a strong core helps people to have stronger, more efficient movements through the rest of their body, including the hips, shoulders and neck.
There are many different exercises that can help with improving core strength. Your physical therapist can help you determine the exercises that are best for you. If you have any questions about what exercises would be best for you, call 719-477-6870 to set up a free consultation with a personal trainer.
When you meet with one of our personal trainers, you'll get highly personalized attention to develop an effective plan tailored just for you and your needs. At Great Moves Physical Therapy, we have an assortment of personal training equipment for just about any level of physical fitness.
When you consider that the word 'health' literally means 'movement,' it's no wonder exercise is an important part of maintaining optimal health. But you want to practice safety and proper form to prevent injury and obtain optimal results. That's where we can help you. Give us a call today!

text: BUSINESS Les Moonves Thinks Comcast-Owned Time Warner Cable Will 'Pay Appropriately' For CBS Content (Video) 12:09 PM PST 2/13/2014 by Hilary Lewis FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images CBS CEO Les Moonves The CEO talks to CNBC about the surprising nature of the deal and whether his network would have a fight like this summer's with the NBCUniversal owner. CBS CEO Les Moonves was scheduled to appear on CNBC Thursday morning to talk about his company's earnings, announced Wednesday afternoon, but he found himself being asked about the big business news that broke overnight: Comcast's $45.2 billion deal to buy Time Warner Cable. Moonves first admitted that the deal took him by surprise, as it likely did many other people, pointing out that Comcast CEO Brian Roberts and cable head Neil Smit were putting this deal together while people thought they were in Sochi for the Winter Olympics, airing on Comcast-owned NBC. STORY: Comcast-TWC Execs Talk Overnight Deal, What Consumers Can Expect "I think everybody was pretty surprised by what happened, and as usual Brian and Neil did this deal under cover, under wraps," he told CNBC's David Faber. "Everybody thought they were in Sochi, and here they were making a huge deal while that was happening." Moonves praised Comcast for putting together a "a pretty terrific deal" and suggested that as content owners, they may better understand CBS' interests than Time Warner Cable does. CBS had a very public retransmission fees dispute with Time Warner Cable this summer that resulted in the network being blacked out in TWC's major markets, including New York and L.A. "Obviously as a content provider, you know, the good news about Comcast is they own a network that competes with us and they own a number of cable channels, so they are a company that believes in content and they believe in paying fairly for content," Moonves said. "As you may have heard, we had a little dispute with Time Warner Cable this past summer over what they felt they didn't want to pay what we felt was a fair share for our content. Comcast obviously thinks about it in an entirely different way." Although he noted that the deal's too new to discuss ramifications, Moonves said if it's approved, CBS looks forward to working with the Comcast-owned TWC. STORY: Comcast's TWC Buy Could Spark Pay TV Deal Frenzy Moonves went on to suggest that since Comcast is a content owner, he thinks the company will be willing to "pay appropriately" for CBS' content. "I think Comcast appreciates the value of our content and will pay appropriately for it," he said. "The power struggle that we may have had with Time Warner Cable, it was about what we felt was an unfair offer for our content. We don't think it's going to be the same sort of struggle. We obviously already have an existing deal with Comcast." Watch Moonves' full interview with CNBC below. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Hilary Lewis email@example.com hilarylewis
