		<title>Stretch it out &#8211; Flexibility Training</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Flexibility is an often-overlooked aspect of overall fitness. We remember to work on our cardiovascular fitness, and we remember to work on our strength training...but flexibility training? Most people stop at "a light stretch before the workout" and never give it another thought. A little bit of forethought, however, will point to flexibility being as important as either of the other areas of fitness. When you improve your flexibility, you benefit in a number of ways. You improve your range of motion in your joints, which allows you to do more of whatever it is you do, from working out to shopping, without tiring as easily. It has also been proven that increased flexibility is an excellent way to avoid injury as your body ages.]]></description>

		<title>6 Healthy Steps For New Walkers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are just getting started on a walking regimen, there is one thing you definitely need to keep in mind, a bit of wisdom from the millions of walkers who have come before… “Take care of your feet and your feet will take care of you.”

A walker’s feet can take quite a pounding. Depending on the length of your legs and your walking stride, your feet will hit the ground over 1,400 times, and when they hit the ground, they hit it hard…each step translates to a force of 3-4 times your body weight. With all that pounding, you can expect to walk (all puns intended) into some feet problems at one time or another. You’ll get blisters, stone bruises and more. With all the punishment you dish out to your feet, it just makes sense to take certain precautionary steps to help minimize the potential for injuries or foot pain. By following the steps below, a walker can give themselves a head start in the race to keep their feet healthy.]]></description>
