Homemade Gefilte Fish
Last Updated on Wednesday, 01 December 2010 11:52 Written by TFTI Thursday, 19 August 2010 17:52
- 3 pounds (net) ground carp
- 1 medium onion, cut into pieces
- 3 full tablespoons matzo flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 (about) cup water
- Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons sautéed onions
For fish soup
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 big onions, cut into pieces
- 1 small bunch parsley
- a little fresh dill
- 2 big carrots, peeled and cut into rounds
- 4-5 fresh carp heads (Ask the butcher to clean them)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Water
1. In a big and wide saucepan place oil and onions and fry lightly on medium fire. When lightly brown in color and transparent add 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon sugar and ground white pepper. Mix. Add 2 cups water; stir and cook covered. Simmer for 15 minutes on small fire.
Note: At this stage you take 2 tablespoons of the sautéed onions with a slotted spoon and ground them in your food processor with the fresh onion to a fine cream-like consistency. Add to ground fish.
2. Add all the other ingredients and about 6 cups water; bring to boil. Skim off foam from top; cover and let cook on small fire about 3/4 - 1 hour. Strain liquid in colander. Save carrots for decoration for later use. Put liquid back into saucepan; bring to boil again. Taste, and add if needed salt or pepper or sugar to you own flavour.
Preparation for the Gefilte Fish
1. Put all the fish ingredients except the water in your electric mixer. Beat with the beater and add slowly the water 1 tablespoon after another. Taste- yes yes you have to taste because you can't add flavour after you put to cook. I just take a little in my mouth and spit. You can add to your own liking. We don't eat it sweet. [ARCHIVIST'S NOTE: For safety, please don't taste raw batter. Poach a little bit and taste that, then adjust the raw batter]
2. With wet hands, make patties and put carefully in the simmering soup. When you finish with all the ground fish, shake pan. Bring to boil. If you need to add more water this is the time, (the water should cover fish.)
3. Cover pan and lower fire. It must simmer all the time, and cook for 1-1/2 hours. (Some methods cook with out the lid on, I do ). From time to time shake pan again and sprinkle cold water on top of fish.
4. Cool for 20 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer fish patties to glass plate and put on top of each patty the cooked carrot. Cool and keep in refrigerator one day before you serve.
5. Strain the liquid in a colander. Transfer to a glass jar, cover and refrigerate.

'Night of the Iguana' benefit helps theatre in the schools
August 25, 2011 —
FORESTBURGH, NY — The Forestburgh Theatre Arts Center (FTAC) at The Forestburgh Playhouse will presents Tennessee Williams' "The Night of the Iguana," in a special benefit performance to support the FTAC's theatre in the schools program, on Sunday, September 4 at 8 p.m. The play will be preceded by a gala pre-show cocktail/dinner at The Tavern. Tickets to the show and gala cost $75/person. Season subscribers pay $55. Tickets to the show only cost $40 with a subscriber price of $20.
"The Night of the Iguana," a searing emotional journey of loneliness and redemption that takes place in a run-down hotel on the Mexican Riviera in 1940, is the last and generally regarded as Williams' most mature work. The FTAC's theatre in the schools program will bring another Tennessee Williams masterpiece, "The Glass Menagerie," to area high schools and the Eugene D. Nesin Theatre in Monticello this fall.

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping to start solids smx soon, especially bc he doesn't seem to nursing as much and I want to make sure he's getting enough in his tummy. I've heard a lot about mom's making their own baby food and using baby food processors. Which one is the best? I guess I'm looking for something that will puree foods instead of simply chopping or mincing bc when I tried to give squished veggies yesterday and he seemed to have a hard time swallowing.
Thanks ladies!

Drawing on its legacy in teacher preparation, including NCATE accreditation since 1954, KSC's Education program integrates the liberal arts with professional training at all levels from early childhood through high school. All Education majors must also declare a second liberal arts major.
Do You Want to Be a Teacher?
I want my students to love learning as much as I do, and I believe this is best achieved at the elementary level, so I set my focus there.
Across the state, nation, and around the world, teachers trained at Keene State College are in the classroom every day, working with students at all levels of ability and talents, teaching the academic and life skills that lead to happy and productive lives. Do YOU want to be a teacher?
Our mission is to prepare highly effective teachers who utilize research-based teaching practices and create developmentally appropriate educational environments for diverse learners. We integrate liberal arts knowledge and professional preparation for each program we offer, and incorporate state and national standards for each specialty area. Keene State College has been an NCATE-accredited institution since 1954. Each education program option, from preschool through high school, meets state and national standards.
What Does It Mean to Be a Teacher?
Becoming a teacher means hard work.
All students seeking to graduate with teacher certification must complete:
- KSC's Integrative Studies Program
- All of the requirements for an Education major or one of the specialized K-12 programs (Physical Education, Dance Education, Music Education)
- All of the requirements for a liberal arts major in an academic content area (if completing an Education major)
Becoming a teacher means having practical, hands-on experience before you graduate.
All students seeking to graduate with teacher certification must complete:
- At least two semesters of practical field placement work in schools (or child care centers) with highly competent teacher/mentors
- A full-time, semester-long student teaching experience in an approved partner school
Becoming a teacher means being accountable.
All students seeking to graduate with teacher certification must:
- Take several national qualifying tests and pass with acceptable scores
- Demonstrate high standards in personal and professional dispositions
- Maintain a GPA of at least 2.5
Becoming a teacher means being ready to learn and grow.
All students seeking to graduate with teacher certification will:
- Learn the art and science of teaching specific subject areas
- Take coursework in child development, historical perspectives, and theories of learning
- Understand how to work with diverse learners and to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of every child

My education classes with Dr. Cuper—she is a phenomenal teacher, and has helped me stay inspired to be a teacher. She challenges us to really think and she is always pushing us to go beyond what we think we are capable of. I have so much respect for her. I see her as a role model, and know that I will be in contact with her after Keene."
How to become part of the Teacher Education program at KSC
Earn a Master's Degree in One Year
Did you know that there are two programs specially designed for KSC graduates who want to earn a Master's degree in one year? One program leads to an additional certification in special education PLUS a Master's degree; the other leads to a specialization of your choice PLUS a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. (Both require completion of the bachelor's degree and a teacher certification program before admission).
Undergraduate students desiring to become certified teachers must apply and be accepted into the Teacher Education Program as sophomores. This program, administered by the Professional Educator Preparation Office, coordinates the education and certification of teachers across all academic programs and works with current students and cooperating field sites to ensure that each student has a successful student teaching experience.
- Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification: For Students who already have a bachelor's degree and want to obtain teacher certification
- For Students Seeking a Graduate Degree
Student teaching placements and partnerships
The Marlborough School and Keene State College have been working together for over three years to create a pilot program for a partnership that benefits the children of Marlborough and college students in the elementary teacher education program at Keene State College.
Keene State has developed a network of area elementary and secondary schools and child care centers as partners to provide well-supervised field experience placements and student teaching experiences that align with the Conceptual Frameworks underlying our programs. Here are a few examples:
- Marlborough (NH) School teachers work with KSC education faculty and student teachers on an innovative program to bring aspiring teachers into today's highly diverse classrooms.
- Winchester (NH) Elementary School is working with KSC faculty and elementary education students to pilot a program that encourages children to be fascinated by scientific inquiry, while inspiring KSC elementary education students to become highly competent teachers of science.
Accreditation and why it matters
Better prepared for new, more demanding licensing expectations.
"The largest research study to date on teacher qualifications, conducted by the Educational Testing Service and released in 1999, showed that graduates of NCATE-accredited institutions significantly outperform other candidates on state licensing exams. ETS concluded that attending an NCATE institution increases the likelihood that candidates will meet state requirements. In short, you will be well prepared for challenges in the classroom." MORE
All KSC Education programs are accredited under the rigorous standards of NCATE, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. Each year, KSC graduates more certified teachers than any other college in New Hampshire.
What does accreditation mean to a student? Teacher licensure is a responsibility of each state, and every state maintains its own set of requirements. Attending an NCATE-approved program makes it easier to get licensure in other states, as the other state understands the level of quality of your teacher education program. Of the more than 2,000 teacher preparation programs in the US, only 670 are NCATE-approved.
Keene State College has voluntarily chosen to engage in the challenging work required to maintain NCATE accreditation since 1954 (when NCATE was first established). Ours is the only program in the state of NH that has continuously maintained its NCATE accreditation status.

Welcome to VermontApril 05,2013The latest report on the impact of tourism in this state underscores the way that Vermont has succeeded in turning its natural beauty into a vital engine of the economy.
Throughout the Great Recession, tourism continued to grow in Vermont. The report from the Department of Tourism and Marketing showed that in 2011, nearly 14 million people visited the state, creating 37,910 jobs for Vermonters, or about 11.5 percent of all jobs. That job total was up 13.1 percent over the total from 2009.
Visitors accounted for more than a third of all jobs in restaurants and bars and for 6.8 percent of all retail jobs, far above the national average. Spending by visitors produced $274.5 million in tax revenue, which was up 37.5 percent over 2009.
Vermont has always drawn visitors, eager to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and a summer climate cooler than the sweltering metropolises to our south. But it was the advent of winter sports that brought tourism to Vermont on a massive scale. Now winter is the busiest season for tourism, yielding $577.4 million from 3.87 million visitors in 2011. The second-busiest season was summer, which produced $489.2 million from 4.14 million visitors. Those numbers make clear that though more people come here in summer, winter visitors spend more money.
For the sake of the states prosperity, it is a good thing that the state has embraced its role as a tourist mecca. The Rutland region shows why. The latter half of the 20th century saw the decline of many traditional industries, which has made for a rough economic transition, made far easier by the rise of the ski industry, particularly at Killington and Pico ski areas.
Northern Vermonts ski industry has shown the greatest gains in recent years due to major investments at the Jay Peak and Stowe resorts. Following Tropical Storm Irene, it was tourism in the Mount Snow area that suffered. In response the state plans to step in with additional reconstruction aid. Meanwhile, Killington is taking steps forward under new ownership to carry out long postponed development projects.
But winter is not the whole story. Combined, business during summer and fall exceeded the revenue from winter. It will be remembered that in 2009 National Geographic ranked Vermont as the sixth-best tourist destination in the world. The magazine cited the states scenic countryside, lively small towns, historic streetscapes and local business. It is a tourist magnet in the summer, the magazine said, but it never seems overrun by visitors.
Spring has been the laggard among the four seasons, partly because it is so short and iffy. Yet the state has had success marketing maple season, driving up visits in early spring.
During economic downturns, Vermont often benefits because it can provide vacations close to home for millions of people who might feel constrained from traveling on expensive vacations to Paris, the Caribbean or Colorado. Part of the reason is that tourism is anchored here in the form of real estate.
The real estate market may fluctuate during good and bad times, but the presence of ski condos and summer homes keeps people coming back. In fact, one consequence of the vacation home market is that in some places it drives real estate values beyond the means of Vermonters. At the same time, the state benefits from tax benefits derived from second homes.
National Geographic cited the states successful efforts to protect its environment as a key to its continued attractiveness. It is a continuing effort among groups at the state and local level dedicated to promoting the states working landscape and the pattern of historic villages surrounded by open and productive land. It turns out that environmental protection is good for the state to the tune of billions of dollars but especially if a vibrant, productive local economy is able to make good use of our abundant natural resources.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Action movies try to kick ass by ignoring the laws of physics, which is like trying to win at wrestling by ignoring the use of your limbs -- you're left with ridiculous plots and big men making stupid facial expressions. Everything that moves, impacts, or explodes is by definition physics. The machines, pyrotechnics, and computers they use to fake those things are even more physics. The only good part of action movies that physics can't explain is Jackie Chan. But he's a problem for biologists, because he disproves the survival instinct, and advanced students of hypothetical insurance theory.
JCE Movies Limited
Jackie Chan, personally fixing everything wrong with the Transformers movies.
But real-world scientists and engineers make "special" effects look like a euphemism. Behold, four real science and engineering videos that apply a significant podal positive impulse to a lot of gluteus maximus.
4Explosions: Nuclear Tanks Versus Every Other Vehicle
An international organization of engineers tried to destroy nuclear containment vessels by ramming trains and trucks into them. That's not an engineering test, that's an action movie plot escaped into the real world.
They forged 50 tons of solid steel indestructibility and then tried to destruct it, which is what happens when engineers get sick of philosophers wondering whether God could create something even he couldn't destroy and decide to do it themselves. Either that or it's a top-secret program to develop a taxi service for Jason Statham.
via Free Science Lectures
"We've arrived at a kickass explosion, Mr. Chelios."
They start by dropping containers from a crane, which sounds boring until you realize that they've built the most impenetrable anything they can conceive of and are now playing conkers with the Earth's crust. Then they utterly destroy a locomotive by ramming it into the indestructo-box at 100 miles an hour, and the box is fine. If Hephaestus had been half the engineer these guys are, Pandora could never have caused any trouble.
It escalates like an engineer keeping promises to his 8-year-old self. When the train doesn't break the box, they try again with a bigger train ramming a truck. Then a rocket-propelled truck ramming a wall. Then a rocket-sled-train ramming a wall. These people use The Fast and the Furious to cure insomnia.
via Free Science Lectures
This is actually The Fast and the Furious 7, from a finer future where they no longer waste time pretending to have plots.
This video is everything the Transformers movies should have been. True, the vehicles don't transform, but they also don't hang around with Shia LeBoeuf, so that's a better than fair trade. These vehicles do nothing but kick ass, and then they explode so that they don't have to even look at anyone who wanted more than that.
via Free Science Lectures
This video is everything we know about gas-powered engines: stupid and awesome. It's not a recording, it's a never-ending series of Christmases for anyone who understands that petrol is made from living things and that burning it releases all their joy back into the world as velocity. Then they cut the middle man and dump a container in a pool of jet fuel and set it on fire, because a rocket-sled engineer's idea of "icing on the cake" can be seen from neighboring countries.
3Unbelievable Explosions: Exploding Lakes
The second law of action movies* states that the more gently a car nudges the ground after meandering off a cliff, the more hilariously violently it explodes. This video does it for real.
*The first law of action movies is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, the only physics law to apply to both forces and Arnold Schwarzenegger characters.
This was the disposal of war surplus material metallic sodium. Sodium is a highly reactive alkali, meaning it has only one electron in its outer shell, and not to simplify chemistry too much, but that electron is a suicidal bastard. It reacts (which often means explodes) as soon as it touches anything, especially water. After World War II, the U.S. Army found themselves stuck with nine tons of Instant Doom (just add water). After three years of winning "not getting blown to smithereens" roulette, they decided to cash out. But the sodium gods demanded that something be blown up, and the powers that be sacrificed Lake Lenore.
Alex Wong/Getty Images News/Getty
"We had actionable intelligence that lake could have contained scuba-diving terrorists."
Those barrels roll gently into the lake, whistling casually, before suddenly remembering that they're portals to hell. Then they blow hell up. In movies, "detonation" is a transition, an instant of going from non-exploded to better than that. For sodium in water, detonation is a new state of being. Metallic sodium reacting with water releases hydrogen and heat, creating a continual Hindenburg at the water's surface. The stuff goes up like Guy Fawkes' wet dreams and just does not stop exploding. The Catholic church's greatest secret is that the U.S. Army killed Satan in 1947. After destroying Hitler, they figured it was only a short hop up, and since they had nine metric tons of constant boom lying around anyway ...
via markdcatlin
That's one ton per level of hell, and this stuff is hotter.
It's the pyrotechnic equivalent of syphilis: It only happens because of American soldiers having bad but fun ideas during the war. It resulted in miles of chemical plumes, which the chirpy newscaster relays in the same manner as someone who's just seen an interesting bird in the distance, despite being the exact opposite of that ever happening. This is the same newscaster who cheerfully praises the Army for choosing a lake without any fish in it, because back then "environment" was just a useful Scrabble word for men who'd failed the army physical.

Malcolm Anderson of Beeville Lodge and Charles Hemphill, a member of George West Lodge, organized the effort. Lodge members assembled and delivered a total of 140 kits to the schools. The Fantastic Teeth Fan Club, sponsored by Masonic Home and School of Texas, works to prevent suffering from toothaches, reduce missed school days due to dental problems, and cut costs for dental treatment.
Prevent tooth decay kits contain: a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, healthy teeth sticker, two-minute timer (optimal brushing time), Tips for Healthy Teeth educational info for parents in both Spanish and English, and a summary of MHS services. According to "Oral Health In America: A Report of the Surgeon General," tooth decay is the single most common chronic childhood disease — five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than hay fever.
Poor children are affected by this epidemic more frequently than other children, with nearly 12 times more restricted-activity days due to dental issues than children from higher-income families. With more than 1.5 million Texas children living in poverty, there is a great need for preventive dental care. Dental problems also directly affect success for children, with more than 51 million school hours lost each year to dental-related illness.
Teachers have judged both classroom performance and classroom behavior to be significantly poorer among children in need of dental care. Pain and suffering due to untreated dental disease also can lead to problems in eating and speaking.
Masonic Home and School of Texas (MHS) is a nonprofit organization with a history of helping children across Texas for more than 100 years.

Girls' Hooded Sweatshirts with Drawstrings
2 of 3 photos
3 of 3 photos
"YMI" girls' hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings
The sweatshirts have drawstrings at the hood that pose a strangulation hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines about drawstrings in children's upper outerwear. In 1997, those guidelines were incorporated into a voluntary standard. Then, in July 2011, based on the guidelines and voluntary standard, CPSC issued a federal regulation. CPSC's actions demonstrate a commitment to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on neck and waist drawstrings in upper outerwear, such as jackets and sweatshirts.
For additional information, please contact YMI Jeanswear at (888) 394-1398 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.ymijeans.com
About 500
This recall involves girls' sweatshirts sold under the brand name "YMI Jeanswear." The sweatshirts have a front zipper and a fur-lined hood with a drawstring stitched to each side. "YMI" is printed on the label at the neck. The sweatshirts were sold in gray, purple, pink and black, with either a snowflake or a flower design on the front and back. A heart charm with "YMI" engraved on it is attached to the zipper. The recalled sweatshirts were sold in children's sizes six through 16.
None reported
Consumers should immediately take the recalled sweatshirt from their child and remove the drawstrings or return the sweatshirt to a dd's Discounts store for a full refund.
dd's Discounts stores nationwide from December 2011 through January 2012 for about $13.

CNJ staff photo: Liliana Castillo Amanda Herrera totals up the Salinas family's purchase of fireworks at a fireworks stand north of Clovis.
By Thomas Garcia: Freedom New Mexico
Fireworks vendors in Curry and Roosevelt counties said sales are picking up as July 4 nears.
"We have been open since June 20 and have already had to order more fireworks," said Karlee Johnson of TNT Fireworks in Clovis.
Johnson said that her family has operated the stand for four years and this year hot sellers are artillery shells.
"We have had a lot of adults come in and buy the artillery shells," Johnson said. "We have one package that is double stacked with artillery and has over 500 shots."
It is called the TNT Peace Maker, runs about $400 and is for a true firework enthusiast, Johnson said.
"Sales have been slow for the first week of operations but we expect them to increase this weekend," said Lawrence Hill, a vendor at Mr. W. Fireworks in Portales. "We can sell the artillery shells and we have a wide variety of other fireworks that are allowed."
Popular items include a 234 shot Saturn missile in the shape of the American Flag or with the 220-shot Amazing Ballet, Hill said. For the younger crowd there are 36-inch Morning Glory sparklers and a four-minute sparkler called Fire Exporative, Hill said.
However, fire department officials for Clovis and Portales advise that there is a ban on using aerial fireworks inside city limits.
Portales Fire chief John Bridges said even with the recent rains the area is still dry and the hazard for a fire is there.
"For Portales the ban includes Roman candles and bottle rockets, but shower fireworks such as artillery shells are allowed," Bridges said.
A Roman candle or bottle rocket are flaming projectiles and when they land they are still hot, Bridges said. The sparks from an artillery shell typically are cold when they fall to the ground and pose less of a threat, Bridges said.
The city of Clovis has a city ordinance that has been long in place banning the use of artillery shells, according Clovis Fire Marshall Allan Silvers.
Fountain, smoke, ground and smoke devices are allowed inside city limits, Silvers said.

It's Freddy Time, Two Straight Losses is Enough

I just came across this page. I enjoy your insights. The ChiSox are my favorite AL club and I fear that like my main team (the Dodgers vs.the Cards), the sweep vs. the Twins is not only a poor omen post All Star break, but the Sox are on the road awhile and they need a spark to keep ahead of the Tigers & Twins. That spark needs to be a trade. I'd like to see Brett Myers but NOT Adam Dunn. How about you?
I'll be checking in more on this page!

Fergal says the best way for keeping limber is to: do the HAKA three times a day, now that we're the best rugby team in the world we'll be doing it before all our games, won't we?

Gardening tips from listeners...
Noel Leahy in Kilkenny: Avoid moss in the Spring. Moss take advantage of winter conditions and it is not enough to spray, rake and seed. You must tackle the underlying problems
1) avoid soil compaction
2) improve drainage
3) remove any direct sunlight obstruction
4) treat for acidic pH levels
Damien Peelo in Rathgar: Dry out uncooked egg shells and spread them around the young plants such as lettuce, cabbage etc as a natural way to keep slugs from feasting on your hard work.
Siobhain Kennedy in Ballyfermot: When planting lavender, make sure you add some sand to the compost as it will flourish better it this type of soil conditions, also trim back this years growth but not to severely to prevent it becoming too woody.
Kevin Murphy from Sligo: Do not plant trees in exposed areas until spring as the young trees will be damaged by strong winds before they get a chance to get established.
Siobhan in Newbridge: Get the daffodil bulbs planted in clusters so that in spring you will have a wonderful splash of yellow to hearld the onset of spring.
Bernie Kirwan from Gorey: My gardening tip for today is after all the hard work weeding, clipping, cutting and sweeping, have a long soak in an epsom salts bath so you can do it all again the next day without an ache or pain.
Mary Cox from Limerick: Use your used teabags to line your pots and prevent the compost coming through the holes at the bottom. The teabags also provide nutrients for your plants to get their little roots growing.
And when we asked for a gardening group to give themselves a shout out, we heard from Clare Mitchell in Tipperary, she said: In Gurteen national school we have a wonderful group of parents who design and manage our special children's garden for the joy of all and include grandparents also.
Favourite walks from listeners....
Mark McCloskey, Drogheda, Co Louth (Monday): The lovely walk from Clogherhead beach, up over the head and then back down into Clogherhead Pier is beautifully scenic and also a good pulmonary work out and is made all the better by calling in to Kirwan's fish shop on the pier for a cup of their homemade seafood chowder giving me the energy and enthusiasm for the nice walk back.
Fergal Mc Loughlin, Sligo (Tuesday): Slish Wood in Sligo - earthy, forest scents and the lake water of Lough Gill lapping on the shore as the sunlight skips along the water surface and breaches the cover of the foliage... no place can compare!
Joe Deering in Tullamore (Wednesday): The Glenbarrow walk near Rosenallis, Co Laois. Walk through the spruce trees and listen to the sound of the Barrow making its speedy way from the mountain. Move along to the waterfalls and look at the water descend at speed and then settle in tranquil pools. Beautiful hidden place for a family picnic and a magical place.
Noel Mc Goohan in Co Donegal (Thurday): My favourite hillwalk is the Knockallagh ridge in Co Donegal. Fantastic views over Lough Swilly and Mulroy Bay, looking as far as Tory Island to the West and Malin to the East.
John Sheehy, Stillorgan in Co. Dublin (Friday): I walk with three friends in our own little 'club'. We call ourselves the Deer Hunters, as we usually walk before work in the mornings when the deer are out and about. We often go up Djouce or other mountains in Wicklow at about 6 a.m. and love the peace and serenity at that hour. Would highly recommend it!
10 Tips for Fitness Walking
Before starting a walking program, check with your doctor if you have a chronic medical condition or if you have had a recent injury. But don't assume that you aren't able to start exercise walking if you do have medical issues. Exercise walking can help control disease progression and relieve symptoms in people with cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and many people with arthritis or other musculoskeletal problems will experience symptom relief from a medically supervised exercise walking routine. Exercise is an important part of all weight-loss programs that will help with many chronic medical conditions.
Invest in good shoes. Since these are the only expense and equipment you'll need, pay attention to the fit and quality of your shoes. Shoes should fit when you try them on without any areas of pinching or pressure that could cause blisters or calluses. Wear the type of socks you'll wear when walking when you purchase your shoes, and remember that you'll likely need a larger-sized shoe than you normally wear if you plan to wear thick socks. Shoes should have good arch support and a slightly elevated heel with stiff material to support the heel when walking and prevent wobbling. Trekking poles or other accessories may also help, depending upon the climate and terrain where you'll be walking.
Always warm up by walking at a slow or normal walking pace for five minutes before picking up the tempo of your workout.
Pay attention to your heart rate and breathing. Walk at a pace that challenges you and elevates your heart rate, but don't overdo. You should be able to talk and carry on a conversation while you are exercising; if you can't, you may be working too hard.
Use good walking posture. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends maintaining the following posture when exercise walking: Swing your arms. Keep your head up, back straight, and abdomen flat. Point your toes straight ahead. Take long strides, but don't strain.
Consider getting a pedometer to track the distance you've walked or the number of steps you've taken. Watching your improvement over time is a terrific source of motivation.
Tracking your steps on smart phone apps or Fitbits can provide additional motivators.
Be sure to carry water if you're walking long distances or are exercising in hot weather. In very hot weather, you may need fitness drinks or other sources of electrolytes as well. Be mindful of the sugar and calorie content of some of these drinks.
In the heat of summer, don't forget to wear a hat with a brim and to apply sunscreen to exposed areas.
Vary your route if you're getting bored. To increase your fitness, add a route with some hills or changes in terrain. Or alternate routes on different days of the week. Keep your workout interesting. Many people walk with a buddy or in groups for support and motivation. While lots of walkers swear by their iPods to keep them going, others prefer to pay extra attention to the sights and sounds around them. Find the solution that keeps you moving.
Side walk! Walking sideways burns 78% more calories than walking forward. Lateral motion takes extra effort by putting your body to work in unfamiliar ways.
Walk away from trouble. A study done at the University of Pittsburgh found that postmenopausal women who had walked regularly for more than a decade, avoided heart disease, falls, hospitalization and surgeries far more successfully than their inactive peers.
A walker's motto: "Always be prepared." Keep a pair of your old walking shoes in your car. You never know when you'll have the opportunity to squeeze in a 10-minute walk.
Why weight?: A weight gain of 11 - 18 pounds increases your risk of heart disease by 25%. More than 25 pounds and your risk goes up 200% - 300%.
Step'n out! The average person takes 9,000 steps each day. In a lifetime that is 3.5 trips around the Earth.
New soles! Your walking shoes should be replaced about every 500 miles. Special tip: buy two pairs of shoes to walk in. Wear one pair to walk regularly in and wear the other pair just on Sundays. When you begin to feel the difference between the two pairs of shoes, it's time to buy a new pair of shoes. Now use your previous Sunday pair for your regular walks and your new shoes as your Sunday pair.
Head for the hills! To increase body toning, cardiovascular fitness and calorie burn, walk uphill.
A man's and women's best friend. Does your dog insist you take her (or him) for a walk? Look for a retractable leash. It can help free up your arms so you can keep pumping them and that will help you get as much or more benefit from your walk as Fifi (or Fido)!
Keep on walkin'. About 80% of hospital admissions are the result of bad health habits such as leading a sedentary lifestyle. Don't let you or someone you love become a statistic. Get them up, out and walking!
A good idea. Freeze water in your water bottle. It will melt slowly while you walk so you'll have a constant supply of cold, refreshing water.
More work, less play? Since 1970, working Americans have seen their leisure time drop from 26 to 17 hours per week. A Walking Vacation is a perfect way to fill this precious time. We make all the plans! You sit back and relax!
Don't be a statistic! Twenty-five percent of people who start an exercise program quit the first week. Another 25% quit within the first six months.
Roughing it! Walking on a rough but level track requires 50% more energy than walking on a paved road.
In the fast lane! Do you know how fast you are walking? To get a close estimate, count the number of steps you take in a minute and divide by 30. For an example, if you take 120 steps you would be walking about 4 mph.
Fight the fat! Blend equal portions of non-fat yogurt with your favourite salsa for a fat-free, low-calorie dressing for salads, chicken and fish.
An ounce of prevention One of the best ways to protect yourself during the cold and flu season is to wash your hands thoroughly and regularly.
A little bit goes a long way. The risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and diabetes can be reduced just by taking the dog for a walk, climbing the stairs or sweeping the driveway.
Walking for daily exercise is low-impact, safe and free. It can also improve cardiovascular fitness and strengthen muscles and bones. Speak to your health care provider before starting a walking program, especially if you have an existing chronic medical condition or have been inactive for a long period of time.
Stay safe while walking
Choose a familiar route that is flat and free of obstacles.
Consider the surface you'll be walking on. A smooth, soft surface that's free of debris will put less strain on your joints and feet.
Wear supportive footwear – wear low-heeled footwear with non-skid soles.
Avoid rushing – rushing increases your risk of falling. Take your time.
If using a walking aid (e.g. cane or walker) ensure that it is fitted for your height.
Be extra careful in cold weather — sidewalks and paths can be slippery.
Cold weather can cause numbness and make it difficult for you to feel any pain or an injury. When it's cold outside, consider walking in an indoor place, like a mall or community fitness centre.
Walk with friends or a walking club.
Carry a mobile phone in case of emergencies.
Dress appropriately for the weather and drink plenty of water.
Stop or take a break if you feel any pain during your walk. Consult a health care provider if pain continues after your walk.
