could you live with yourself?
If you were to accidentally kill someone you didnt know by accident could you go on with life. Like if you were in a subway one nite on your way home from work and you tripped on the newscart with your shoe,( the shoes you got from your mother last christamas that felt real good all year but got a little worn out after all the mountain biking you did this year and all the running and frisbee golf tournouments you and your partner entered but didnt win because your partner plays like crap most of the time, and cant tell which way the wind is blowing no matter what you tell him, but you play along because his sister is cute and likes to flirt with you and one day you might nail her curtain rods for her, if she asks politly) and you pushed him into an oncomming train and he fell and the train squished him after it dragged him down the subway rails for a few miles till he finally died in agony from massive blood loss. Could you go on living?

Olympic triathlon training #2
rockstartriathleteacademy.com Olympic Triathlon Training Myth #1: You Have To Shave Your Body To Do A Triathlon. Whole body shaving can reduce turbulent flow of the water against the skin, and assist with a quick wetsuit exit both of which can shave a few seconds from your time thus making whole body shaving a good choice for an elite athlete or individual who wishes to gain as many advantages as possible. But it might be a waste of time and razors if you’re just getting into triathlon. However, shaved arms and legs can assist with ease of cleaning wounds from bicycle crashes. Waxing can be expensive, and razor can be be time consuming, so both have their disadvantages! So if you do decide to keep yourself trimmed (especially you guys), we advise an electric razor for the initial shave, followed by a three or four blade handheld razor, used along with a good shaving cream. Olympic Triathlon Training Myth #2: There Isn’t A Big Difference Between A Road Bike With Aerobars and a Tri Bike With Aerobars. A short summary of the difference between a road bike and tri bike is as follows: The road bike geometry is designed for an upright riding position and greater utilization of the gluteus and hamstring muscles, which is not ideal for aerodynamics or running off the bike. The steeper aero bike geometry results in greater aerodynamic advantages and quadriceps utilization, both of which are crucial for time trialing and running off the bike.

My daughter asked for spinning shoes that she would use during spinning class. I’ve check all local sports stores and none had them or heard of them. Are there special shoes for spinning and where would I find them?

Sure cycling shoes look cool, but besides the attractive aesthetics, cycling shoes differ in so many ways and offer tremendous advantages. Stop hammering your feet by shoving them into pedal baskets!

Hi! I am a practicum student in a 5th grade classroom. My mentor teacher gave me a worksheet to teach to the students tomorrow but no answer key. I just want to be sure I teach them the right things because I am quite confused. In which of the following scenarios is friction used and when is friction reduced?
a canoe glides down a river (I think reduced)
grease a bicycle chain (I think reduced)
butter a cake pan (I think reduced)
oil a door hinge (I think reduced)
lotion helps remove a tight gold ring (I think reduced)
a dolphin glides through the water (I think reduced)
press on a car’s brakes (I think used)
swan dive into a pool (I think used)
slide down a snowy hill (I think reduced)
walk across a wood floor in shoes (I think used)
rubbing two sticks together starts a fire (I think used)
grate cheese (I think used)
pedal your bicycle (I think used)
build a house of cards (I think used)
smooth wood with sandpaper (I think used)
walk across a wood floor in socks (I think reduced)
skate across the ice (I think used)
walk across the road (I think used)
slide down a grassy hill (I think used)
rub your hands together to warm them (I think used)
Thank you so much! Explanations would be nice, but you don’t have to.

So, I’ve checked out previous arch pain questions and no, I don’t think I have plantar fasciitis. I don’t have pain in the morning, they don’t feel tight, etc. But I do have overwhelming pain in the arches of my feet while exercising. I recently started getting serious and (as much as I can) trying to do 30 min of in-home exercise a night (stationary bike, wii fit, exercise videos, etc.). I’m not technically overweight (my BMI is high-average), so I don’t think I’m overstressing my feet…I’d just like to get back to a certain size for which I own some neat duds 
I did a belly-dancing video barefoot (thats what they called for…and I’ve done a class and you’re supposed to do it that way, but it just killed my arches). On wii fit you’re not supposed to wear shoes on the balance board, but the running (not on the board), step aerobics, and “bicycling” absolutely kill my arches. I LOVE Zumba and that’s the only video I’ve been able to do comfortably, but the last two tries I’ve had to take breaks and today stop the video because it was killing my arches. (If I go and ride my exercise bike though, it feels better after a while). I tried a Billy Blanks Boot Camp Tai Bo thing, but that killed my thighs (different story there!!!). Ugh. Should I just take a few days off…will that make whatever is bothering me go away so I can restart my “training”? Or, did I screw something up and need to go to the doctor? Should I wear shoes, or not? What does everyone else do?
My question is…sounds like the orthotic insoles are the way to go, but what about activities with no shoes? I tried my Zumba video with and without shoes and some moves were better with shoes/some without.
