As Outdoor Enthusiasts I really need to go into something unpleasant—Flying Biohazards. Upsets me on a Visceral level!
This past weekend the paths were full and a little breezy—I got nailed. Foul!! The guy was running way too fast for me…otherwise, he would have heard from me. My best girl friend does it.My husband does it. I stay in front or way behind.
“Snot Rockets,” “Loogies,” “Golfer’s Blow,” “Skiers Blow,” “Air Hankie”—They’re all the same thing. Nasty. I don’t know how this became okay with people. You don’t see people doing it in the gym. People who spit, blow snot, or hawk loogies–you’ve got to change your ways! Please, I’m begging you. Stop the Flying BIOHAZARDS!
Solution? Carry a Kleenex, use your sleeve, use your collar, I don’t care. Just don’t blow it on me. There is a nice way, a more discreet way to do it—pull over and aim low and out of the line of sight. Thank You!

How often do you eat while you drive the car, read the paper, or watch TV?
Too often, we combine eating with distractions like these, and studies show that this can lead to double the calories consumed.
That’s because distractions at mealtime lead to loss of awareness and focus on the quality and quantity of the food we eat. What’s more, these studies report we don’t feel any fuller.
The solution?
1. Awareness is Key—Know the pitfalls and avoid the food traps.
2. Set up a few rules for yourself—for example: no eating in the car or while standing up.
3. Create distraction free zones, like the kitchen—During mealtimes turn the television off, and keep books and newspapers off the table.
4. Get familiar with the “Law of Least Effort”—which states the more convenient the food, the more we consume; like fast food versus healthy homemade.
Small behavioral changes can put you in the nutritional drivers seat.

This week on Outdoor Fitness on Sirius Satellite Radio:
Is there a correlation between the 67 % of Americans who are overweight and the 63 percent who, according to the National Sleep Foundation in Washington, DC, say they don’t get the recommended eight hours of sleep per night?
A growing number of sleep researchers assert that there is and so does my guest Cherie Calbom, the author of SLEEP AWAY THE POUNDS. Cherie will explain how a good night’s sleep can help you lose those extra pounds.
Then I chat with Steve Friedman, the former Senior Editor at GQ, and the author of The Agony of Victory—A behind the scenes look at Athletes battling their demons.

Hi Tina,
Going on a Winter Mountain holiday. How much will I feel the high altitude?
Regardless of your fitness level, an extreme change in altitude places new demands on the body due to the reduced oxygen present in the air. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, immediate physiologic responses occur in altitudes above 5000-6000 feet. Therefore, if we take our training to an altitude for which we are not adequately conditioned (for example, if you routinely exercise at sea level and travel to an elevation of 8,000 feet ), decrease the intensity of the session to allow physiological adaptations to occur. Adverse reactions to altitude can happen if we are not adequately acclimated.
Many a mountain trek has been cut short by the over zealous trekker seeking the summit. Medical wisdom advises as a general guideline, about 2 weeks are needed to adapt to altitudes up to 7,500 feet. For each 2,000 foot increase, an additional week is required for full adaptation. That gradual acclimatization is the best way to prevent altitude sickness, cerebral and pulmonary edema.
Warning signs for altitude sickness include headache, nausea, fatigue, and sleeplessness. Affected individuals must be evacuated to lower elevation immediately.
Have fun and stay safe. Tina www.outdoorfitness.com
