A New Way to Exercise
by Michael Soto

In the New York Times, there is an article on a new way to exercise by running up stairs. The article is called Skip the Elevator, Take the Stairs and in the article you can read about how a man finished his lunch and was asked by his two co-workers to walk up the stairs to the top floor of a ten floor building. By the end of the stair climb the man was out of breath and found his new way to get in shape and it was free no charge.

The reason I decided to write about exercise is because people all they do now a days is eat and eat. They don’t bother to get in shape so they continue on eating with out any worry about having a heart attack. What we need to recognize that obesity is a big issue for people in this time where there is a fast food restaurant on every corner. I do know how hard it is to resist but I have a workout plan where I could balance my weight so I stay in shape, so you could do the same as I do.

People need to wake up and know that this is an issue everyone should take seriously and let the people know that you could change. All you need is discipline and you will get in better shape than what you are in.

Relationship Stress
By: Cindy Alvarez

Stress is an internal process that occurs when a person is faced with a demand that is perceived to exceed the resources available to effectively respond to it, and where failure to effectively deal with the demand has important undesirable consequences.

Relationship stress triggers fight responses that make us feel like running away from everything. When this happens, our emotions and the emotions of others can seem threatening and overwhelming. Some get angry and say things they end up regretting. Either way, our inability to listen and speak intelligently in the face of relationship stress makes things worst.

By learning intelligent skills, you can learn how to stay calm and focused in the moment, and to communicate clearly and powerfully even in tense situations.

Here are some helpful steps to overcome relationship stress

Step 1: define the problem specifically- i.e. “my partner never talks to me” or “I can’t stand to be next to _ for more than two minutes.”

Step 2: relate to each of your relationship problems as feedback- i.e. assume you are partly the cause of the problem.

Step 3: identify the specific conversations and action patterns within you that are causing your relationship problems to occur or persist.

Step 4: remind yourself that these hidden patterns exist in your body, not your mind.

Step 5: take action to neutralize these hidden causes- i.e challenge your stress-producing conversations; disrupt your automatic behavior patterns; create relationship enhancing contexts.

Step 6: if your relationship problems don’t improve, repeat steps 1-5 and/or get coaching.

Weight Loss

Most people think that dieting is the solution for losing weight fast. Others are thinking about the latest diet pill that just came out. People seek for solutions but they don’t always search for the safest one. Safe dieting has become a huge issue in the United States; “Safe weight loss programs do not promise fast, easy results that set your body up for failure.”

Safe dieting means to eat healthy like cutting out fats and carbohydrates from your diet. If you usually have 60 carbohydrates a day then safe dieting would be to eat 45 carbohydrates a day.
