Exercises to improve speed and running ability Saying "take longer strides" may not not mean a whole lot to someone if that's the exact and succinct wording. Can you provide some background as to how she trains, other activities that she does (or has done in the past), and how long she has been playing soccer? Is this just a physical issue? |

Could juggling heavy balls hurt the body? Slightly weighted balls are available though for beginner jugglers to develop wrist strength and control. It minimizes the wild throws new jugglers tend to do when they just "throw things up in the air" with light balls or bean bags. |

Starting to lift weights - True commitment or start as I can? Consistency is definitely key (and maintaining it more so) even if it's very little initially. Don't just jump into it all at once. Find out what works best first, and go from there. There is nothing wrong with starting small. |

Crunches before or after sit-ups? Is there anything else that you can add to your answer? It doesn't really help the question being asked. Can you suggest other exercises instead of sit-ups? |

What to replace large quantities of meat with in my diet? I almost asked a question until I saw this answer. For a long time, I was wondering why meat filled me up so much better than carbs even when I switched to eating wheat pasta and brown rice. |

Establishing a proper push-up form for younger children Can you explain that further and post it as an answer? I'm having a little trouble picturing what you are describing. |

Establishing a proper push-up form for younger children I will also say that some kids will just bounce up and down rapidly and claim they've done something like 60 push-ups. I want to break these habits too. |

Establishing a proper push-up form for younger children Push-ups are part of our basic exercises in my martial arts school. Children are very capable if you give them the chance. |

I don't walk, jog, run but I hope to. How can I get into habit of running? Wanting to run is not enough. @Rhea makes an excellent point about making excuses. Don't give youself any. What exactly is stopping you from doing it? They're likely just mental barriers. Establish a system (be active on this) so that it will change your behavior and create a habit (so it eventually becomes more passive). |

How bad is high fructose corn syrup relative to the alternatives? +1 for the awesome video, and including the cost factors of sweeteners. Nutrition does have a lot economics behind it. |

How much exercise for children? Considering other health issues is important as @md5sum put it. Environmental factors can also play into health. |

How much exercise for children? I'd say get them away from all the stimulation and ge them outside. Kids can be huge bundles of energy. Let them get it out of their systems. |
