A new Harvard study said '''woman should get two hours of exercise

A new Harvard study said '''woman should get two hours of exercise?
Do you agree or disagree? Personally. I jog ten miles a day I get my dose of exercise. Their going to come a time when I do not have time for exercise. I am taking nursing classes in August and taking science classes.I also have to accumulate time for a trip to Germany learn German! I well, be going to school full time and also trying to volunteer at the hospital. I am trying to go for my P.H.D be a Dr. I plan on taking Chemistry more math classes. Just working my way up the ladder. Then being a CNA , and student at the same time. I am going for my CNA first to see if I can handle the blood! Sorry, I am drifting off topic. Well, I kind of disagree with this. I was always taught in high school you get 20 minutes of exercise a day. As long as you got your heart rate up. I mean who has time to work out two hours a day? I know I do, but this is a brief period in my life. I am only taking two college classes. Eventually I am going to be booked! What do you think about this new health study. Be honest would you be able to put two hours of working out in your schedule?

I completley disagree, most woman don't have the time to put two hours of exercise into there busy schedule.
2 :
Um...no. Harvard is stupid. I could not workout for two hours a day with schoolwork and everything else. 30 minutes a day is good in my opinion with a healthy diet.
3 :
2 hours of NONSENSICAL chronic cardio nonsense like running or 2 hours of EVOLUTIUONARY CORRECT WALKING with random sprints? THAT, my dear, is the question........
4 :
I would love to get two hours of a good work out. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
5 :
I guess I'm going to be the only person here who agrees with that statement. <3
6 :
If you need three hours of exercise, give me a call and we can hook up for the night. Wink, wink! Chinese take out's on me. Hee, hee!
7 :
disagree (even if its from Harvard); not only is it very impractical for most people to work out that much in a day, your body and muscles need proper recovery, when you work out (especially if your goal is muscle building), you're not gaining muscle but in fact breaking it down and the only way to get it back and build it up is proper recovery through rest and nutrition. Plus, not only can over exercising be discouraging, it also puts you at a much greater risk of injury edit: theres a great article on the subject of over exercising at http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/overtraining-why-less-is-more.html

I've been flying internationally and domestically with my children since they were 2 months (now 8&5 and baby number 3 was born 23 December). At least three trips a year are the children and I traveling internationally (14+ hours each way) alone. In addition to that, we do another 8-10 international and domestic flights a year as a family. I have never had any problems with my children on any of the flights. Here are a few tips and suggestions as well as answers to your questions: 1.) You will need to have all your baby's documents in order. It is a good idea to keep a copy of his notarized birth certificate with you. Since it is an international trip you will need a passport for your child as well. Keep your doctors name and number with you. Also get the name and number of a doctor where you are visiting in case an emergency should come up. Another thing you should consider bringing with you is your childs immunization book. That way if any emergency should arise while you are on vacation, the treating physician will at least have some verifiable information to go on. This book also usually includes what your child is allergic to, and some small but very helpful notes from your doctor. Verify what travel documents you will need in advance to make sure you have everything. 2.) Since your child is under two, you are allowed to hold him as a lap child, meaning that he will have to sit in your lap the entire time. Try to book a bulkhead (front) seat where you will have more room, and a bassinet. If the bassinet is available (they can only be used in bulkhead seats) it will attach to the front wall for you to put your child in (however you can not use this during taxi, take-offs, landings, or turbulence). This is not the safest way for a child to fly and the airlines recommend children to have their own seat with a child safety device. Many airlines will even offer half-price tickets so parents can be guaranteed that their child can travel in a CRS device. You should call your airline to ask for a discount and/or ask what the airline's policy is for using empty seats. If you haven't booked a separate seat for your child, be nice on check-in and see if they can "block" the seat next to you. They will then only use it if they absolutely need it, leaving it free for you to use during the flight for your child. I highly advise using a CRS (Child Restraint System) because it is safe for the child - especially during turbulence, makes them feel secure, is more comfortable for both parent and child, will help your child sleep, and gives both of you the opportunity to relax a bit. A CRS is a hard-backed child or infant or child safety seat that is approved by the government for use in both motor vehicles and aircraft. Almost all car seats pass this requirement. 3.) You can take a stroller and gate check it. It will not count towards your checked luggage. This means that you will be able to use it all the way up until the time that you board, and one of the handlers will take it from you at your departure gate, tag it, and put it in a special compartment for you. When you exit the plane, it will be waiting for you at the door as well. 4.) Not all children have a problem with the pressure changes in their ears. If yours does however you'll want to know how to help. For take-offs and landings (the WHOLE way up, and starting from the BEGINNING, or TOP of descent), the best ways to alleviate ear pressure are to: *Nurse your son *Give him something to drink (water) *Give him a pacifier to suck on *Place hot damp towels (usually like the ones distributed to first and business class before take-off and landing to freshen up with - just ask a flight attendant for them) or paper towels that have been soaked in hot water and wrung out, at the bottom of two paper or styrofoam cups, then hold the cups over the ears *Gently but with some pressure, rub his neck repeatedly from the chin to the base of the neck. This will cause a swallowing motion that will relieve pressure build-up in the ears. 5.) As long as your child is with you, you are able to take as much formula, breast milk, or regular milk that you will need for you child for the duration of the time you will spend in the airport and on the flight (as long as it is within reason).And no, you will NOT have to taste it - no matter what form you bring it in. All that you must do is: 1. Separate the milk from the liquids, gels, and aerosols in your quart-size (1 liter) zip-top bag. 2. Declare you have the items to one of the Security Officers at the security checkpoint. 3. Present these items for additional inspection once reaching the X-ray. These items are subject to additional screening http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/children/formula.shtm http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/06/363&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en http://www.dft.gov.uk/transportforyou/airtravel/airportsecurity/requirements New regulations also allow you to take beverages (including water) from home as long as they are less than 3oz (100ml), -OR- beverages (including water) of any size that you have purchased from inside the security area onto planes. You can also bring a limited amount of baby food, yogurt, cheese, puddings, etc. with you also as long as they are in containers less than 3oz (100ml) http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm#10 http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/06/363&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en http://www.dft.gov.uk/transportforyou/airtravel/airportsecurity/requirements Save your money when it comes to buying water though because the Flight Attendants will provide you with hot or cold water (or any other drink) free at any time that you request, no matter how many times you request it. 6.) Keep your diaper bag well stocked with plenty of diapers, wipes, ointments and other essential things. Just remember the new law regulating liquids, gels, and such and pack accordingly. http://www.tsa.gov/311/index.shtm http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air_portal/security/rules_liquids/doc/2006_aviation_security_new_rules_poster_en.pdf http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/security/aviation/airport/airportsecurityadvertisement You can usually find travel size baby products in stores and they are wonderful for plane use. One thing I always like to carry with me is hand sanitizer! I always wipe the trays down with that (followed by a baby wipe) and use it for my kids after taking them to the bathroom (even though they wash their hands). I know that airplane bathrooms are not the cleanest, so that is why I try be vigilant. Be sure to pack 2-3 changes of clothes for your child. You will need this in case he gets sick, spills something on himself, or in case your luggage gets lost. Bring any medications that you might need for your child should he get sick or that he takes regularly. Remember that if they are not prescription medications, the 3oz (100ml) rule applies to them and they must be kept in a clear plastic bag. http://www.tsa.gov/311/index.shtm http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air_portal/security/rules_liquids/doc/2006_aviation_security_new_rules_poster_en.pdf http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/security/aviation/airport/airportsecurityadvertisement Do NOT give your child medicine with the hopes of it making him sleep. This is not only cruel, but dangerous as well. I have also seen where it backfires; a parent gives their child a dose of Benedryl to make them sleep, but instead it gets the child more hyper and the parents get absolutely no rest on the flight (and neither does anyone else). 7.) You should be respectful of other passengers and always change your child's diaper in the restroom. They do have diaper bed changers in there, although they can be a little small. Usually the bathrooms with the diapers beds are the handicap ones (they usually tend to be toward the rear of the plane), so they tend to be a little bit bigger and it does help. I also know some people who say that instead of using the changing table, they say to put the toilet seat down, use the toilet as a seat for yourself, and lay the baby across your knee to change their diaper. To make it easier on yourself, make sure that you undress your baby so that he has just a diaper on while at your seat. Grab your diaper, wipes, and ointment or baby powder (whatever you use for changing your childs diaper) and head to the bathroom. This will help to make the procedure faster and easier. Try to change your childs diaper as close to boarding as possible. This will help to make you baby feel fresh and more comfortable for take-off (which could also mean less problems). 8.) Make sure to pack one or two comfort things such as a favorite blankie or stuffed animal. I always bring a small pillow and blanket from home for my children (even now) because I know 100% that they are clean, and my children are accustomed to them. You can also walk up and down the aisles with your son which will give him something different to see, and help to break up the length of the flight for him. 9.) Don't worry about what the other passengers are going to think or say should your baby cry. This will only add stress, which your child can pick up on, and it could make him cry longer and harder. Instead, just relax, and handle the situation like you would if you were at home. Most times the other passengers are very understanding anyways and some will even try to help you. Which reminds me, if help is offered to you, TAKE it! I wrote a small article about flying with children that goes more in-depth, gives airport security rules and regulations for the US, EU, and UK, plus offers tips and tricks for the travel, etc. http://www.angelfire.com/jamiehassen79/flying_children.html If I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.

So is the debate on Iraq basically going... Well I know this guy over there and he says

So is the debate on Iraq basically going... Well I know this guy over there and he says??
I know a nurse that works in Germany where the wounded go. He says they get plane loads of injured every week. I think 1 American without 1 leg is entirely too much. I strongly disagree with a body count as a measure for a wars severity. The severity is in the kids without dads/moms; the disabled one at a time!!!

What's even worse is the guy that comes home with one leg will not recieve the assistance he deserves because Republicans believe it is "socialist" to help Americans. I agree wit you htough. We may only have 3300 dead, but we have tens of thousands of injured, not to mention the PTSD that most of them are suffering from because of the horrors they have experienced. ....some things are just as bad as death.

the invasion and occupation of Iraq was a mistake and has turned out to be a disaster. Democrats have no choice but to work towards an ending to the fiasco and civil war there which is because of the mistakes by Bush-Cheney. The US is not prepared to help those who have lost sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers, much less those who have been wounded and lost limbs or brain activity. The sadness and struggle for years to come will be as a direct result of the Bush doctrine and the tragedy to America and Iraq as a result. The world will not soon forget the horror and treachery of the current commander in chief.
9 :
Who cares about the wrongs and the rights of this war? Your opinion means jack because whatever you say or do doesn't affect the outcome. I just can't wait for the inevitable world war 3 to get underway and I believe by 2010 it will be well in full swing and the majority of you believers in, this country won't do this because it isn't in their economical interests to do so and this country won't do that because they need this country to prosper crap. World war 3 will be a no holds barred, ultimate scramble for survival and those who didn't live through the last world war as I didn't, cannot even comprehend a third one. Everyone has their pissant little view on what should happen in the war but it is not your decision. Or your friends or neighbours or family. Just forget about worrying whether 1 leg is too much or kids without parents and get ready to survive an all out world war. If you cannot see it coming you are blind.
10 :
It's so true, yet the president and people backing him don't look at our casualties of war as people with families, they are totally detached to what happens to these people. Oh, sure they go out and shake hands with a wounded person or a person who lost a loved one for PR sake, but they see these people as a means to thier end. They couldn't even fathom putting thier own family members into a situation where they may die, or lose parts of their bodies. Just the pedestal he puts himself on, and the level of protection he makes the military give him for any live speech he makes, clearing the skies, making no fly zones, having snipers on roofs, and secret service surrounding him, in order to visit a school or town for a couple of minutes to talk to the people. Yet our soldiers are sent out into a haven of terrorist, some with no idea of how to protect themselves, is something wrong with this picture? I'd like to know why this president doesn't go over to Iraq to visit our troops? He will go to Saudi Arabia, because these people who were responsible for supplying most of the terrorist that bombed the Twin Towers, are his friends. This president shoves it right in our faces, and all we seem to be able to do in retaliation, is drop our jaws and scratch our heads. Tell your nurse friend that we really appreciate her for what she's doing for our troops and we are fighting to try to stop this war, so she won't have to see fresh military men and women blown to pieces anymore. God Bless them all, it won't happen but, I hope we can bring them home without losing another person.
