alternate title: aspartame is *not* bad for me.

spent the afternoon reading more about delta debugging and trying to have more of a breakthrough in my research. current trace alignment approach is mediocre, at best. it’s easy to lose focus sometimes, so i use diet coke to keep me going. now this foot business seems to be gradually improving it’s nice to regain some of my concentration. very much looking forward to my trip to panama over winter break.

about the shot setup: had a lot of diet coke cans and bottles that i was about to recycle and i had a stack of research papers to re-read. i took a plate, crumbled up some napkins and coffee grounds, threw it on the table and framed the shot while rearranging various cans and bottles for optimal messiness.

macbook pro still in the shop, installed trial of capture nx 2 on mac mini and edited this photo on my tv : )

strobist info: sb600 shot into silver umbrella behind camera. obvious natural lighting from windows to left of camera and in front of camera.

Exercise Routines to Lose Weight

Different Styles of Exercise Routines to Lose Weight

yoga stretch.jpg Pilates – a series of non-impact exercises designed by Joseph Pilates to develop strength, flexibility, balance, and inner awareness.

Pilates, pronounced /pɪˈlɑ:ti:z/, is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany.[1] As of 2005 there are 11 million people who practise the discipline regularly and 14,000 instructors in the United States.[2]

Pilates called his method Contrology (from control and Greek -λογία, -logia), because he believed his method uses the mind to control the muscles.[3] The program focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles.

Yoga (Sanskrit: योग, IAST: yóga, IPA[joːgə]) refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India; to the goal achieved by those disciplines; and to one of the six orthodox (āstika) schools of Hindu philosophy.[1][2]

Major branches of yoga include Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga.[3][4][5] Raja Yoga, compiled in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and known simply as yoga in the context of Hindu philosophy, is part of the Samkhya tradition.[6] Many other Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including the Vedas, Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita and various Tantras.

Jazzercise – an aerobics class or video set that is set to motivating music and encourages movement

Aerobics – repetitive, rhythmical, relatively low intensity exercise involving large muscle groups

weight lifting / strength training – specifically toning and strengthening muscles in specific areas, usually used in combination with general fitness exercises are part of a good diet for weight loss

Martial arts – methods of unarmed combat, the arts of combat or self-defense, such as aikido, karate, judo, or tae kwon do, usually practiced as sport are part of a good diet for weight loss

Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat. While they may be studied for various reasons, martial arts share a single objective: to physically defeat other persons and to defend oneself or others from physical threat. In addition, some martial arts are linked to beliefs such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism or Shinto while others have their own code of honour. Many arts are also practised competitively, most commonly as combat sports, but may also take the form of dance.

The term martial arts refers literally to the arts of war. It comes from a 15th-century European term for fighting arts now known as historical European martial arts. A practitioner of martial arts is referred to as a martial artist.

Cardio – activity which elevates the resting heart rate (intense aerobic activity)

Running or sprinting – running at various paces to increase heart rate and improve health are part of a good diet for weight loss

Water aerobics – a cardiovascular workout in the pool with minimal impact on the joints. Body toning and flexibility work are usually included

Walking fit – walking on a variety of inclines either indoors or outdoors, sometimes using hand and ankle weights or incorporating arm movements into the walking rhythm for weight loss

A good diet has at least 30 Minutes Daily Activity and Movement to lose weight

What Makes Up a 30-Minute Workout?

To maximize the benefits for a diet plan, your 30-minute workout should consist of both resistance training and cardiovascular training, Ross says.

Ross likes to make a workout two-thirds resistance training and one-third cardiovascular training. In a 30-minute workout, that’s 20 minutes of resistance and 10 minutes of cardio. Yes, just 10 minutes. But 10 strong minutes, he says.

“People don’t need more time, they just need more intensity,” he says. “The body responds more to intensity than it does to the duration of a workout.”

To lose weight a more intense workout burns more calories per minute, and will result in a much stronger post-exercise reaction, says Ross. In essence, he says, when you push the intensity, you traumatize the body (but in a good way).

“The metabolic system sends a message that it needs to make this person a lean, mean, fighting machine,” he says.

For resistance training, Ross and Kolber say the important thing is to cover the whole body. Kolber opts for covering many major muscle groups at once, by combining lower- and upper-body exercises. Ross establishes an exercise “template” targeting specific types of movement so that he covers all the major muscle groups and can vary the actual exercises.

Positive diet programs and attitudes make weight loss easy and fast

Being More Active Everyday and Lose Weight

January 9, 2009 · Filed Under Fitness Tips · Comment 

Business man.jpg – A good diet should include exercise or move at least 30 minutes a day every day to lose weight.

- It doesn’t have to be in a 30 minute block, incorporating small bits throughout the day help too (5 minutes here, 10 minutes there).

- Add movement to everyday tasks to increase your activity level and burn calories without realizing it and lose weight.

- Do some crunches in the morning before you even crawl out of bed and lose weight as part of your diet.

- Walk to the store when you only need a few items.

- Jog while taking the dog out or while taking the kids to the bus stop and lose weight.

- Dance while you sweep the floor and lose weight.

- Walk in place, on the treadmill, or do some yoga while watching a favorite television show (how long is that showing again, 30 minutes maybe?) and lose weight.

- Stretches in the shower and lose weight.

- Fidget!  If you can do nothing else, fidget and be a busy body ~ it burns lots of calories and can have you in a constant state of motion at work, in the car, and waiting in line.  Bounce those legs, shake those feet, and twiddle those thumbs to lose weight.
