Do Fitness Video Games Really Work?
Since the 1980′s, video games have traditionally been the enemy of many of health and fitness advocates. Fitness experts balk at the thought of young individuals, who once spent the majority of their free time outdoors and playing sports, sitting idly on the couch in front of the television set, mashing away at the buttons on their controllers for hours on end.
However, as with all things in life, the video game industry has changed and evolved over the last several years and, in fact, has begun producing fitness-based interactive videos.
In the past half-decade, all major video game consoles have introduced fitness hardware add-ons, including the Wii Fit for the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation Move for the Sony PS3, and Xbox Kinect for the Microsoft Xbox 360.
A countless number of video fitness games that have been designed to take advantage of this hardware has led to households everywhere beginning to compile a large stock of games centered mostly around dance, aerobics and a variety of other forms of cardiovascular activity.

5 Awesome Foods to Build Muscle
In general, most individuals that regularly strength train are looking to either significantly increase their muscle size and density or, at the very least, proportionally tone and sculpt the various muscles of their body.
There are three primary functions that contribute to increasing quality lean muscle tissue: regularly and consistently performing the strength training workouts, consuming nutritionally rich whole foods that are well balanced in terms of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, and ensuring that your body receives plenty of sleep.
The intent of this article is to discuss 5 foods that are ideal for supporting muscle growth and development. After every weight lifting session, you should be thinking about consuming high quality carbohydrates, not just protein.
In addition to restoring glycogen levels in the muscle tissue that was lost performing the exercise routine, the carbohydrates will also provide a healthy boost to your insulin, the hormone that acts as a vehicle to bring amino acids directly to your muscles.

6 Exercise and Eating Myths
Engaging in regular physical fitness activities leads to a vast array of health and fitness benefits, including a more well sculpted physique, increased physical strength, a lower percentage of body fat, improved cardiovascular endurance and stamina, increased levels of mental concentration – the list is virtually endless.
However, exercise can have negative consequences as well. For example, some individuals feel that by regularly performing an exercise routine that they, in essence, have a license to ignore the basics associated with consuming a solid dietary intake regimen that is focused on nutritionally rich whole foods. In fact, in some case, they overestimate the calories burned during their workout, and overcompensate by eating rich, fatty, sugary foods that they’d normally avoid on rest days.

Aiming for Core Fitness? Don’t Forget to Exercise Your Back
There are several different types of exercise to choose from when adding an exercise routine to your daily lifestyle. This being said, prior to deciding on a type of fitness to regularly perform, you will want to define your personal fitness goals and thereafter, determine the exercise type that best targets those goals.
If achieving improved overall core strength and toned, defined abdominals is one of your primary health and fitness goals, you are probably participating in some type of fitness program that includes regularly performing plenty a fair number of sit-ups, knee raises, and abdominal crunches. Although you are obviously on the right track, new research suggests that too many individuals with these types of core fitness workouts forget to incorporate exercises for the core area that specifically target the muscles of their back.
According to Peter Park and Dr. Eric Goodman, co-authors of a new book entitled Foundation: Redefine Your Core, Conquer Back Pain, and Move with Confidence, most people already spend plenty of time in their daily lives contracting their abs, pushing their shoulders forwards, and subsequently putting little to no resistance on their back muscles.
This occurs when you’re driving your car, sitting on the couch watching television, surfing the Web on a computer, and sitting at a desk at work. Goodman says that the key to true overall core strength is to exercise the back regularly, which, in turn, strengthens the spine and improves overall posture.
