Remember the hula hoop? Remember how hard it was to keep the hoop twirling around your waist? While hooping used to be a fun pastime for kids, inventive fitness buffs have reintroduced it as a new fitness option, twirling its way into the exercise culture for adults and UCLA! Reunited with her childhood spirit and passion for working out, Clarice Marsh, Unit Director of Pediatric Care at Mattel’s Children’s Hospital UCLA has found a new old way for fellow employees to get a low impact, intense cardiovascular workout: hoopdancing!

Hoopnotic Hoops are slightly bigger, a little heavier and very decorative compared to the average hula hoop found in toy stores. Weighing one and one-half pounds and slightly wider than traditional hoops, it invites “hoopers” to maneuver it stylistically around the body. Hoopdancing builds strength in core muscle areas and provides an intense cardiovascular workout for increased energy, flexibility, balance and tone to the entire body.

39 ways to live, and not merely exist

Too often we go through life on autopilot, going through the motions and having each day pass like the one before it.

That's fine, and comfortable, until you have gone through another year without having done anything, without having really lived life.

That's fine, until you have reached old age and look back on life with regrets.

That's fine, until you see your kids go off to college and realize that you missed their childhoods.

It's not fine. If you want to truly live life, to really experience it, to enjoy it to the fullest, instead of barely scraping by and only living a life of existence, then you need to find ways to break free from the mold and drink from life.

Love

Get outside

Savor food

Create a morning ritual

Take chances

Follow excitement

Find your passion

Get out of your cubicle

Turn off the TV

Pull away from Internet

Travel

Rediscover what's important

Eliminate everything else

Exercise

Be positive

Open your heart

Kiss in the rain

Face your fears

When you suffer, suffer

Slow down

10 ways to entertain young children for $1 or less (without the TV)

Sick of paying hundreds of dollars for toys your kids don't play with? Tired of the latest toy catching your child's attention and having it turn out to be something you consider offensive (Bratz) or impossible to acquire (break dancing Elmo)?

Never fear. These classic toys and activities can be created with stuff you probably already have lying around your house. Plus, they will entertain your kids for hours and when they are done, you can chuck 'em without feeling bad you spent your Christmas bonus to get them. Plus, studies show a child will remember a toy you both created far longer than a store bought toy.

Here are the top 10 ways to entertain your young child for $1 or less:

Large cardboard boxes

Rubber band and pencil crazy bot

Make a paper popper

Home Depot Kids Workshop

Plant something

Water sprinkler

Bubbles bubbles everywhere

Catch Fireflies

Paper airplanes

Tin can and string telephone

Stephen Hawking wrote a Childrens Book !?!

World-famous physicist Stephen Hawking and his daughter Lucy have finished a fictional tale that's aimed at the middle-school set but takes on grown-up topics ranging from black holes to the origins of the universe. Lucy Hawking says the book, "George’s Secret Key to the Universe," should give kids a better grasp on the cosmic mysteries that are her father's specialties.

Has the father-daughter team come up with new scientific explanations that can turn cosmology into child's play? “There's something really great," Lucy Hawking told me, "but if I tell you, it would spoil the plot." Despite the Harry Potteresque air of secretiveness, she went on to drop a few hints about what kids will find when they crack the book open in October.

"I'm sorry to be Miss Mystery, but I can't tell you more," she said.
