Kids Who Play Sports Aren’t Exercising As Much As You Think

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain that your kid might not be exercising as much as you think when he/she plays a team sport. Research shows that kids who play team sports are only actually moving, burning calories and exercising about half the time they are there. FYI this includes practices as well as the actual games. Soccer is the best team sport in terms of exercise time. And free play is much better for getting kids to move more and be more active. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Does Sitting on An Exercise Ball Improve Your Posture?

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how sitting on an exercise ball does not help your posture. It has long be thought that replacing your desk chair for an exercise ball was a good way to improve your posture. This has not been shown to be true. While you may improve your core strength a little and burn more calories than if you are sitting in a chair your posture does not improve. Actually your posture gets worse because of the way your spinal column is stressed in the ball sitting position – it increases the amount you slouch. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
