Chiropractic Helped U.S. Olympic Medal Count
A chiropractor who also was coach of the U.S. Olympic men's water polo team helped the group to win the silver medal in Beijing, in a match against Hungary, by providing members with daily chiropractic adjustments.
"I can honestly say that without chiropractic, many Olympic athletes would not be able to perform to their potential," said Merrill Moses, the team's goalkeeper. "We take such a pounding on our bodies, especially in water polo, because it's a contact sport. I like to get a chiropractic adjustment every day just to keep my body healthy."

Your life can be changed - and extended - by just a little regular exercise, according to a report by a blue-ribbon U.S. panel.

The panel declares that a moderately paced half-hour walk five days a week will lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and many other disorders.

By the end of the study, students worked up to about 300 jumps per session.

Speed Ball
Are you in beach body shape yet?
Well, if not, there is a new type of exercise that might do the trick!
It’s called Speedball.
Amy is a Speedball fanatic. “I used to wear a heart rate monitor, I think you burn about six or seven hundred calories for the hour. The endurance level that is required to take this class is through the roof,” she says.
Speedball is a cardiovascular and muscular endurance class—both aerobic and anaerobic exercise--using the medicine ball as an athletic resistance tool.
Jill Lavorgna, also a Speedball lover, says, “It gives me the best cardiovascular and strength workout because it does a lot of lateral movements, it really works every muscle in my body and it is constant motion, so I really feel like I am getting a complete body workout.”
