by Heather Long | More from this Blogger

Good morning and Happy Saturday to you. We covered a lot of ground this week in the Fitness blog and whether we were talking about workout programs and trends or losing weight at your desk, we've been tackling a lot of topics. The temperatures are continuing to drop and several areas saw their first snow this week, so look forward to some snow based sports information and working out in frigid conditions.

In Budokon or Pogo Bootcamp? What's around the next creative corner? We talked about all the changes in the fitness industry that are taking place to address boredom with performing the same fitness routines over and over. In Tai Chi Heals Body & Mind As You Age we talked about the fact that there is a relationship between the practice of this martial art and the health of the elderly. In 10,000 Steps May Not Be All That we discussed that the 10,000-step program gets people up and moving, but they need to keep it brisk and not just focus on counting steps.

In My Monday Feet Were Made For Walking we discussed the 1k Susan G., Komen Race for the Cure happens on October 21. In Weight for These Quotes: Food for Thought we talked about some fun quotes with regard to weight loss and dieting. In The Season for Skiing we tackled the fact that the snow season is starting and that skiing, the winter sport, is something you can prepare for skiing before the snow starts falling.

In Kids Need Brain Fitness, Too we discussed the fact that our brain needs fitness as much as our bodies and while we are focusing on our children's physical health, we need to keep their brain fitness in mind too. In Kid Fitness: Flexing the Mind we addressed that there are plenty of exercises that can help older and younger children alike. Finally in Why is Joining a Health Club Hard?

In Mental Health Day we looked at the need for a mental health day and how it can improve your fitness overall.

In a We Need to Feel Pain we discuss that there is the reason the body feels pain. Pain is our body's way of telling us that something is wrong or that we're in danger of something being wrong. In Maintaining Fitness in the Holiday Season we addressed that the holidays are fast approaching and it's important to keep fitness in mind in light of the stress and more.

In Want to Lose Weight While Sitting At Your Desk? we talked about a number of different ways you can increase your calorie burning while sitting at your desk. In Friday Fitness Fun Quotes we looked for some inspiring nuggets day by day and these pearls of wisdom are both fun and inspiring. In One Size Does Not Fit All (Part Deux) we revisited a discussion that we began back in March about the fact that marketing One Size Fits All does not appeal to the modern audience and demographics.
