What are the latest and greatest health-related products? How can I spice up my ho-hum workout? Are the new nutritious food products and health-focused restaurants worth my money? If you're asking any of these questions you've found the right spot!Note: While I'm a journalist with a Bachelor's degree in kinesiology and am a Certified Health Education Specialist, I don't replace the guidance/counseling that comes from a good chat with your doctor or dietitian.

Healthful Bites
Too often, we—or at least I— focus on cranking out reps, working hard and getting the job done during exercise. So to add a little more fun in to process, try these three rolling-based moves. A couple even give a nod to egg rolls (the gym class kind, not the Chinese food!).
For this well-balanced routine, you’ll just need a stability ball and a bit of open space… And the ability to ignore whatever craziness is going on with my hair in this video :)
What was your favorite elementary school gym class activity? How do you make your workouts fun these days?
PS: How about them Packers? No better excuse to hit the treadmill for some incline walking than an apartment with no TV and a big game on :) (That was my cagey plan yesterday so that I wouldn’t miss the game.) Hopefully the Packers will roll (*groan*) on through the Steelers in a couple of weeks!
