“Are you killing it in the gym, but not seeing results? Chances are, you’ve fallen victim to bad advice” (CNN.com/studentnews). We are told many different thing when it comes to exercising, we read magazine that tell us the “right” way to exercise, but it is’t always accurate. You know how crunches are the key to flat abs? WELL GUESS WHAT thats not entirely true. Yes crunches are a good way to tighten your abdominals a bit but don’t exactly slim your midsection. Why, you ask? Because you’re not really burning off a lot of calories so it doesn’t help majorly with fat loss. Instead you should planks and bridges, and if you do, do crunches make sure to do then the proper way; soft surfaces for your back, and tailbone. You know how after a workout, you’re drenched in your own sweat, that must mean you burned a lot! DANG! Sorry to disappoint you, but just because you’re soaked doesn’t necessarily mean you burned the soda you drank for lunch or the yogurt you had for breakfast. ” ‘ Sweat is a biological response that cools your skin and regulates internal body temperature’ ” (CNN.com). Do your knees hurt after you ran a mile? Well, you know what they say, ‘running is bad for your knees’. SIKE! I know stomping on the pavement is bad, rather than running on grass, however it’s not completely harmful. Wearing the proper shoes and building leg muscles help your legs. Jogging before starting a run and jogging in between help your joints a bit . Also, you should stretch to recover faster. Wait! Actually thats another myth, if it helps you then by all means reach towards the sky! However, the University of Milan study found that there no significant change to people who stretch after they exercise. It’s crazy how many myths there are about exercising! Keep doing what your doing if it works for you but keep in mind that some things you believe in aren’t necessarily true. “I think you should still exercise and eat HEALTHY because moving your body is always good” says Max L. Glaser
“Your phone always knows where you are. And now, if you want, your Facebook will always know where you are too” (cnn.com/technology). Facebook has a new gadget on their mobile app called, “Nearby Friends” so your friends can track you in live. Why, you ask? This social media is so that it will make it easier for people to meet up. However, people won’t be able to see where you’re at unless, you want live-tracking turned on on your Facebook account settings. Because Facebook does let you choose who can see what on your page, and if you want it to be private or not, the new gadget will let you decide who can and cannot track you. Not only can you track down a friend, but you can also see which friends are near you from a mile or two away or their time being at the location. How is this different from Instagram, Twitter, etc. “Cheak-In”? Cheak-In states where you’ve taken a photo or where your eating. Nearby Friends tells your exact location and the time being there. Also you had the option weather or not you want people to know, and who specifically you want to share it with, even when you are not on the Facebook app. Personally, I don’t mind Nearby Friends because you do have the option weather or not you want it on and who gets to track you down, but then again I would’t want people tracking me down and inviting my privacy. Is this what the police and FBI are gonna start using?![steve-jobs[1]](http://joyofteaching.lwn-stg.194-164-93-166.plesk.page/guadalupem/files/2014/02/steve-jobs1.jpg)
