Health and Fitness Videos

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I have recently fallen in love with a new video site: VideoJug.com They have hundreds of videos on many subjects, including health, sport and fitness. I’d like to highlight some of the videos on the site that I think are interesting.

1. How to Detox Your Mind and Body – I like this one because you hear a lot about how to detox the inside of your body, but this video concentrates on detoxing the outside of your body.
2. How to Prepare Yourself for a Detox Program – Another detox video, I know, but it has a lot of good advice if you’re after a detox.
3. Best Tips for Dieting – A lot of advice I’ve already heard, but it’s a good way to receive the advice and a good reminder.
4. Fit Exercise Into a Busy Schedule – Goodness knows most of us have a hard enough figuring out the regular day-to-day things without trying to figure out how to incorporate exercise in. This video gives a few tips.
5. Introduction to Nutrition – This is a multi-segment video that touches on nutritionists, nutrition, the food pyramid, etc.
6. Nine Quick Food Facts – Some of the questions on here may seem a bit ‘simple’, but there is a lot of good advice and facts here that you may not know. There are also a lot of very important simple changes you should make for your health.
7. Why You Should Eat Fruit – A bit of a funny hokey video, but it has good information.
8. How to Add Vegetables to Your Diet – Pretty self-explanatory.

I hope you like these videos and take the time to nose around VideoJug.

Thirteen Things that Make Me Laugh

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

They say that laughter is the best medicine, but even better than that, laughter is a great way to have fun and burn some calories as well. A full belly laugh can make you feel great and can be shared with the people around you.

That’s why this week, I’m listing Thirteen Things that Make Me Laugh. I’m going to try to find all my favourite comedians as well as some funny videos I like and will link to them all in this list. I hope you enjoy some, if not all, of them and have some great belly laughs today.

NOTE: Most of these videos are not suitable for work (or for young people) for various reasons. None are out and out swearing machines or talk about really disgusting stuff, though, because I’m not into that kind of ‘comedy’.

Thirteen Things that Make Me Laugh

1. Dylan Moran
2. Adam Hill
3. Joe Cocker Live (With Subtitles) - Very funny
4. Man from Wales on losing luggage in Australia
5. George Carlin
6. Paul Hunt - Comedy Gymnastics
7. Unsportsmanlike Behavior - Michael Phelps Spoof
8. Fainting Goats - I don’t want to laugh, but I do. A lot.
9. Simon’s Cat
10. Sugar Sammy
11. Dane Cook
12. Bad Parking
