I Run This Body

Running is not easy, especially for those who struggle with endurance, breathing, pace.... Does that mean you shouldn't do it? No! Challenge yourself and do things outside your box. You can't build strength somewhere you're letting your weaknesses conquer.

Too cold? Too hot? Can't get it right? It's okay.. If you have stairs, use them. If you don't, no worries!! Use a chair from your kitchen table and do some step ups and downs. It's well worth it!!

Podcast Links

1)     Suggest a blog or video that offers a how-to guide to podcasting. What did you like about the blog or video?

http://www.eofire.com/how-to-podcast/

I liked this blog because it gave a step by step process and gave detail on each step. I also liked the fact that they had videos on there to go to. This blog offered a dual perspective for podcasting how-to. I was able to understand better how podcasting works and I enjoyed the section on the history of podcasting. 

2)     Suggest a free podcast hosting service. What did you like about the podcast hosting service?

http://www.podbean.com/

I found this to be the easiest hosting service work with. There’s many different options available when creating your podcast. It is very simple to use, which is good for me because I have a hard time with things like this—any type of technology I am not familiar with. I know this is somewhat of a popular site; in case this was used already.

3)     What are some ways podcasts can be used in professional settings? Why/when would podcasting be the appropriate new media tool to communicate the information? Discuss ways podcasts can establish credibility in the workplace.

I think podcasts can be used in professional settings for product promotion, other offers through the company, information about the company, and how-to guides for the field of interest. If businesses used podcasting for these things it would be another way to network their business and give a wider range of people, the information. The business could potentially expand and by word of mouth the podcast itself would expand—chain effect.

Not just for moms!

     Here's a quick clip of my brother doing push ups with my daughter. Don't want to do a workout on your own? Ask a friend or dad to get involved too! This can be quality time spent with your family and getting your workout in for the day! I wanted you all to know that it is possible to complete a workout in many different ways, alone or with someone, any time.. any place. Enjoy!

     Another great at home workout just for you and your kids! Let them join in with you so they can learn the importance of physical activity and determination.

     Equipment needed: timer and your child! If you don't want to involve your kids in your workout--grab some laundry detergent (full preferably), brick from outside, or anything that has some weight to it. Use your resources, we're not at a gym.
