The 5 Minute Prison Workout

Mike Rowe, the host of the Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs, explains a workout called a burpie he learned by reading an article about a guy who did them in jail. A burpie is almost a full body exercise all in it’s own and only takes about 5 minutes to do a complete session. It’s funny where most of our information comes from.

Running Slows the Aging Process

Thanks to this BBC article it is now pointed out that exercise can slow aging. I know the scientific method requires constant reinforcement, but it seems to be point out the obvious. Oh well, at least we have data against the nay-sayers now. I need more coffee.

Running on a regular basis can slow the effects of ageing, a study by US researchers shows.

Elderly joggers were half as likely to die prematurely from conditions like cancer than non-runners.

They also enjoyed a healthier life with fewer disabilities, the Stanford University Medical Center team found.
