Maintaining your workout schedule during the bitter cold of Winter can be a real challenge, however there are a few tricks to fortify your Winter workout.
1: Work out with a friend – It’s much more fun to work out with a friend then alone.
“Make play dates with buddies, so instead of going to a movie, go to a yoga class together,” Glor said. And, some gyms offer complimentary sessions with your membership with a trainer.
2: Get a trainer
It’s harder to let someone else down, then it is to let yourself down, Glor said. So if you have a trainer – you won’t be likely to cancel on them.
3: Put on your sneakers and go
“Put it on, and before you know it, you are going to be like, ‘Well, I’m already dressed, I might as well go,’” Glor said.
4: Don’t watch the clock
“My trick, and what I tell my classes, is we’re just gong to work out for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes if you don’t feel like it, go home,” Glor said. “Most of the time when you are there, you’re blood gets flowing and you want to stay for half hour, 45 minutes or a full hour.”
5: Multitask
No matter the season – everyone’s biggest excuse is finding time to work out. Glor’s tip? Do two conditioning moves at once and cut your work out in half.

Processed food ingredients are made in large parts from the most common industrial chemicals, like phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid and ethylene, which comes from natural gas. That, for me, is sobering. I’m not saying,, “Oh, shocker, we rely on petroleum for our food.” Petroleum is needed to transport locally produced organic food too.

Sleep apnea is proving to be a drain on insurance companies.
Snoring was once considered an annoyance, however, research has shown that complications can increase the risk of several serious illnesses, including heart disease, stroke and dementia.
Testing can be a lucrative business, and labs have popped up in free-standing clinics and hospitals across the country. Over the past decade, the number of accredited sleep labs that test for the disorder has quadrupled, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
At the same time, insurer spending on the procedure has skyrocketed. Medicare payments for sleep testing increased from $62 million in 2001 to $235 million in 2009, according to the Office of the Inspector General.
Although the initial cost may be a burden on insurers the hope lies in the prevention of more serious and costly ailments in the future.
