<p> As a busy parent, it can be very difficult to stick to your <b>workout schedule</b>. There are meals to make, toys to play with, plenty of diapers to change and laundry to do. The list of chores can be endless. You get so caught up in the world of your children that you end up neglecting yourself. Hereâ€™s a tip though &#8212; parents need exercise too!</p>
<p>You will feel better, you will move better, and you will be healthier for your children. If that isnâ€™t reason enough, I donâ€™t know what else is!</p>
<p>Here are some tips on how to fit exercise in to your busy day.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Schedule it in.</strong> Just like you schedule in a play date or plan for a shower, schedule in some time to exercise. It can be as simple as 10 minutes during your kidsâ€™ naps, but the way to stick to it is to have it on your daily schedule. If itâ€™s written down, you are more likely to get it done.</li>
<li><strong>Be creative!</strong> You might not have time to go to an official gym or have an hour for a full-body workout. That is okay, there are plenty of quick and easy ways to fit some exercise in your day. Folding laundry? Do some squats! Going to the mailbox? Do lunges on the way there. Down on the floor picking up toys? Do a quick set of 15 push-ups. How creative can you be?!</li>
<li><strong>Have your kids join you!</strong> Take them on a bike ride, long walk, or even a swim. Get some jump ropes and spend 30 minutes jumping rope with them. Chase them around the backyard or play hopscotch. The key here is to move your body and we all know that kids love to move!</li>
<li><strong>Make use of down time.</strong> While your kids are napping, you can be moving. Again, a jump rope or a flight of stairs can provide you with an easy indoor workout.</li>
<li><strong>Be flexible.</strong> If you planned for a morning workout and it didnâ€™t happen, donâ€™t give up completely. Be creative and fit in some exercise later on in the day.</li>
</ol>
<p>The reality is that us parents need to take care of ourselves too. If we donâ€™t take the time to exercise and be healthy today, weâ€™re going to have to make time to be sick later.</p>
<p>So get up and start moving &#8212; there is no time like the present!</p>
<p><em>How do you stick to your workout schedule?</em></p>

<p><b>Lifeline screening</b>. No we&#039;re not playing <i>Who Wants to Be a Millionaire</i> &#8212; more like <i>Who Wants to Be a-Live</i>.</p>
<p>These days, there are literally hundreds of different types of blood tests and screenings, and there seems to be something dangerous and hazardous hiding in everything from the food we eat to our children&#039;s toys.</p>
<p>So, how do you make sure you are aware of your true overall health condition without becoming a paranoid hypochondriac?</p>
<p>Below is a list of tests and screenings that should be included in your regular checkups, brought to you by <a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/82211.php">Medical News Today</a>.</p>
<h2>15 Types of Blood Tests and Lifeline Screenings</h2>
<p><b>UNDER 40 (Men and Women)</b></p>
<ol>
<li>Blood pressure test every two years if normal.</li>
<li>Cholesterol at least every 5 years. (In fact, a <a href="http://www.fitbuff.com/fitbuffs-morning-mix-baby-cholesterol-lonely-genes-chocolate-desire/" title="Cholesterol Should Be Tested as Early as 15 Months">new study says cholesterol should be tested as early as 15 months old</a>.)</li>
<li>Skin cancer screening every 3 years by your doctor or dermatologist, and a self-check once a month.</li>
<li>Fasting glucose test for diabetes if there is any family history of the disease or if you are overweight.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>UNDER 40 (Men only)</b></p>
<ol>
<li>Testicular self-exam once a month to check for any lumps or swelling.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>UNDER 40 (Women only)</b></p>
<ol>
<li>Breast self-exam once a month to check for any lumps or changes.</li>
<li>Once a year, get a professional breast exam with your doctor.</li>
<li>Pap smear once a year to check for cervical cancer.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>OVER 40 (Men and Women)</b></p>
<ol>
<li>Continue all of the above, plus the following:</li>
<li>Skin cancer screening more often, once a year.</li>
<li>Colonoscopy every 10 years.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>OVER 40 (Men only)</b></p>
<ol>
<li>Digital rectal exam every year to check for prostate cancer.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>OVER 40 (Women only)</b></p>
<ol>
<li>Clinical breast exam every year.</li>
<li>Mammogram every year.</li>
<li>Bone density scan every 5-10 years.</li>
</ol>
<p>Of course, the most important thing is to get in for your regular checkups in the first place. Many of us put these off (especially us guys) and don&#039;t visit the doctor unless we have an arrow through our head.</p>
<p>These <i>lifeline screenings and types of blood tests</i> will give you the comfort of knowing your healthy and potentially catch any major health problems before it&#039;s too late.</p>
<p><i>How often do you visit the doctor? Do you get your annual checkups, or can you not even remember the last time you set foot in a hospital?</i></p>

<p>An interesting study from psychologists at the University of California at Santa Barbara shows anger can actually help someone think more clearly. Usually, you think of an angry person as someone who isn&#039;t thinking much at all, leading to violent and/or rash behavior. While this can certainly be true in extreme cases, it turns out that simply getting a little &#034;peeved&#034; can improve your analytical thinking.</p>
<p>The researchers studied two groups of college students. The first group they riled up by making the students write about a past experience in which they were very angry. If that didn&#039;t work, then they would ask the students what their goals and dreams were, only to shoot them down with harsh and negative comments. Nice scientists, huh? Luckily for the second group, they weren&#039;t angered at all.</p>
<p>Then, the students were shown two different arguments designed to convince them that college students have good spending habits. One argument was very strong and backed with facts from reputable sources, while the other was filled with loosely opinionated comments and unsupported claims.</p>
<p>The angry students saw right through the weak argument and dismissed it as irrelevant, but the calm group was equally convinced by both arguments.</p>
<p>Their findings, detailed in this monthâ€™s issue of the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, suggest that anger helps people focus on the cues that matter most to making a rational decision and ignore cues that are irrelevant to the task of decision-making.</p>
<p>This could be because anger is designed to motivate people to take action, and that it actually helps people to take the right action.</p>
<p>So, what does this mean for you? Within reason, instead of waiting for you and your spouse or you and your co-worker to cool down during a disagreement, you should try and solve it then. You both will be thinking more clearly and are actually more likely to come to an ideal resolution.</p>
<p>Of course, this is a very thin line, and you need to use your best judgment in each situation. Sometimes, it really is better to follow the age-old rule of counting to 10 and revisiting the subject after you&#039;ve cooled down.</p>
<p><i>What is your experience with minor arguments with your spouse or co-worker? Do you usually walk away until you&#039;re both calm, or do you try and solve the problem right then?</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p align="center"><img src="http://www.fitbuff.com/images/wednesday.gif" title="Wednesday is Brain Power and Stress/Relaxation Day" alt="Wednesday is Brain Power and Stress/Relaxation Day" border="0"></p>
<p>According to a recent study of nearly 250,000 males between 18 and 19 years old, the first-born had an average IQ score 2.3 points higher than their younger siblings. Doesn&#039;t sound like much, right? But, those 2.3 points increase a child&#039;s chances of getting into an Ivy League school by 30 percent. The results also proved that IQ is, at least in part, determined by social birth order and not by genetics, putting an end to a nearly 70 year old debate.</p>
<p>But, don&#039;t start resenting your older brother just yet. While the 2.3 points are fairly significant, they only reflect the educational potential of an individual. So, even if you weren&#039;t the first to arrive on the scene in your family, you are still entirely capable of being more successful than all of your siblings combined. It&#039;s all about how you use what you&#039;ve got.</p>
<p>There are several theories as to why first-born children usually have higher IQ&#039;s. One, they are usually given undivided attention during their early developmental years. As additional children are born, the attention of the parents is spread more thinly across the entire family.</p>
<p>Another possible explanation, parents usually spend more money on the oldest sibling, simply because that child is the first one to require the extra expenses. For example, the oldest child would most likely be the first to want to take a class of some kind, get involved in sports, go to college, etc.</p>
<p>The theory that one of the researchers thinks is most accurate is called &#034;niche partitioning&#034;. Basically, the oldest child is given the most authority and responsibility, therefore the parents tend to see him as a surrogate parent to the younger siblings. This higher ranking then drives the later-born children to find their &#034;niche&#034; in the family.</p>
<p>Because older children already occupy the &#034;disciplined and wise&#034; niche, younger children have to find other roles to play. &#034;So, younger siblings look for other things to be good at,&#034; said Frank J. Sulloway, a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, Institute of Personality and Social Research. &#034;It may be that that extra 2.3 points in IQ reflects an investment of time to get that, and the later-born is investing that time in something else and is getting 2.3 extra points in something else,&#034; he added.</p>
<p>Given that each child is finding his or her own niche, the difference in IQ is nothing for parents to worry about, Sulloway said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p align="center"><img src="http://www.fitbuff.com/images/saturday.gif" title="Saturday is Family Life and Work Life Day" alt="Saturday is Family Life and Work Life Day" border="0"></p>
<p>Kids are notoriously picky eaters. If it doesn&#039;t come in a box with a cute cartoon character promoting it, then they probably aren&#039;t interested. It&#039;s important to get your children to develop healthy eating habits early on, without having to force them to reluctantly choke down something they don&#039;t enjoy. In fact, making them eat certain foods could backfire, leading to binge snacking when you&#039;re not looking and/or having a bad association with a certain food for the rest of their life.</p>
<p>Here are 5 tips to ensure that your child is eating healthy because they know it&#039;s good for them. Teach them early on, and they will continue their nutritious eating habits for the rest of their lives.</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Teach</b> &#8211; First and foremost, talk to your kids and teach them that eating healthy will help them to &#034;grow up and be big and strong&#034;. Just like talks about drugs or smoking, if they know why they should do things a certain way and how it could benefit them, they are much more likely to listen.</li>
<li><b>Variety</b> &#8211; If they&#039;ve been eating lots of unhealthy foods and snacks until now, ease them into their new eating habits. For the first few weeks, allow them to continue eating a few of their favorite foods, but mix in something nutritious with the same meal. Just mixing in a sliced apple or a bowl of corn with their dinner will help to widen their palette and develop tastes for new foods.</li>
<li><b>Schedule</b> &#8211; Stick to an organized schedule for family meals. If you have breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time each day, your child will be hungry at the right times and less likely to fill up on snacks and junk food.</li>
<li><b>Tastes Change</b> &#8211; As a child, and even into adulthood, our tastes and flavor preferences can change dramatically. So, just because junior despises the taste of broccoli now, he could develop a taste for it later on. If there&#039;s a specific healthy food your child refuses to eat, reintroduce it in new ways every few weeks. In the case of broccoli, for example, try mixing it in with a salad or chicken wrap to overcome the &#034;ewww broccoli&#034; stereotype.</li>
<li><b>Meal Environment</b> &#8211; Try to have all meals in an organized setting with the entire family. If you&#039;re all eating and talking at a dining table without television or other distractions, your children will view mealtime as a pleasant social experience, rather than a minor annoyance they endure in between playtimes.</li>
</ol>
<p>Put these tips to use starting with your next meal, and you can begin building the foundation for your child&#039;s healthy lifestyle. And, don&#039;t forget to lead by example Mom and Dad!</p>

<p>I bet if I told you &#034;these 3 small words&#034; began with &#034;I&#034; and ended with &#034;you&#034;, you&#039;d probably think you knew which phrase I was referring to. Suppose I further revealed that the middle word begins with &#034;L&#034; and ends with &#034;E&#034;. I can hear your screaming, &#034;I&#039;d like to solve the puzzle, Pat!&#034;. But, unless you guessed, &#034;I like you,&#034; then no bonus prizes for you.</p>
<p>I like you. Feels good doesn&#039;t it? Can you remember a time right now when anyone (male or female) said, &#034;I like you&#034;? There&#039;s something about those words that establish a connection between two people that is very real. What about, &#034;I love you&#034;, you ask? &#034;I love you&#034; is a great and powerful phrase when used between two people who truly love each other. But, the problem with those three small words is that in sexual/dating relationships, they are often misused, overused, forced, and/or rushed.</p>
<p>When you&#039;re in a new relationship, thinking about when to drop the &#034;ILY&#034; bomb can be as nerve-racking as the first kiss or <a href="http://www.fitbuff.com/first-time-in-the-bedroom-make-her-melt-without-ever-getting-undressed/" title="First Time in the Bedroom?

Sometimes, one partner feels like it&#039;s been so long that they are obligated to utter these three fateful words, just so the other person won&#039;t feel offended or neglected. Now, the other person feels like they have to return this &#034;love&#034;, or they might risk ending the relationship. Either way, many times those three &#034;magical&#034; words often lead to awkwardness or just plain relationship-ending tragedy. How could &#034;I love you&#034; do that?!</p>
<p>The key is knowing how to express the same meaning behind &#034;I love you&#034;, but in a way that you can use near the beginning of a relationship, without drudging up any complications or awkward moments. Enter &#034;I like you&#034;. It&#039;s very simple, very similar, and very much as powerful. Next time your out on a date, and you and your partner are laughing and having a great time, pause for a second, look them in the eyes, and say, &#034;I like you&#034;.</p>
<p>You will create a feeling inside of them arguably more powerful than if you had said &#034;those other three small words&#034;. There&#039;s no pressure or anxiety associated with this phrase, because you can say it to anyone. It will come off as truly genuine and charming. Try it next time you&#039;re out, and watch her eyes light up. Remember, it&#039;s best to catch her off guard. Wait until you two are laughing hysterically or just being silly, then pause, look her in the eyes, and say &#034;I like you&#034;.</p>
<p>What happens later could lead to a different three-word phrase, &#034;I l__t you&#034;. &#034;I&#039;d like to buy a &#039;U&#039; and an &#039;S&#039; please, Pat.&#034;</p>
