Get Physical: A Hilarious Game of Badminton
I don't know what it is about playing badminton, but that game is just so funny to me. I love the dinky racquets, the flimsy net and of course the shuttlecock (I call it a birdy) - it seems to have a mind of its own!
The game is pretty simple.

What's the Diff: Total Calorie Burn and Net Calorie Burn
Although fitness is about moving your body, there is an awful lot of jargon to follow. One seriously good side effect of exercising regularly is burning calories. But do you understand the difference between total calorie burn (TCB) and net calorie burn (NCB)?
I Don't Buy It: Celsius Calorie Burning Beverage
Products that seem too good to be true typically leave me feeling cold, and Celsius is no exception. Hoping to be a super soft drink, the new beverage is being marketed with claims that you can burn 100 calories simply by guzzling one can of the carbonated stuff. The drink apparently boosts your metabolism and causes your body to burn more calories, creating a net-negative-calorie effect.
WalkJogRun Your Routes
Running the same routes over and over can become a bit of a drag. It's hard to come up with your own routes if you don't know how far it's going to be or how hard it's going to be (this one is key for those of us that live in hilly areas of the country). A new website has combined a running route planner and a distance/speed calculator all into one.
Walking Tours: Podcast Walking Tours
Oftentimes when we travel, we miss opportunities to see the city while still being able to burn off a few extra calories.
Instead of paying an arm and a leg to ride a crowded and sticky double decker bus that keeps you sedentary for hours on end, think about downloading FREE walking tours for your iPod (or any mp3 player). They're great options for anyone who likes to learn about a new place but doesn't like to sign up for the full tour.
Tennis 101: How to Score
Welcome back to Tennis 101. While Maria Sharapova is showing us how it's done during this week's riveting US Open tournament, I'm offering a primer for the rest of us.
Now that you know what to expect from your first lesson and how to behave on the court, it's time to tackle the more complicated stuff: scoring a tennis match.
Exercise No Good For Weight Loss?
A couple of years ago the Cardio Free Diet introduced popular culture to the concept that exercise and weight loss were incompatible. Recently we learned that exercise doesn't boost fat-burning. Now Time magazine's new cover story investigates the seemingly detrimental relationship even further.
DrSugar Answers: How Can I Cut the Nicotine Habit?
DrSugar is in the house and he's answering your health questions.
Dear DrSugar,
I have been smoking ever since college, which I know is dumb, but I just haven't been able to cut the habit. I started smoking only at parties, but now I'm at about a half pack a day for the last few years.
What's the Deal with Spikeball?
I noticed a new game recently while at the beach, called Spikeball. I've never seen it before so I decided to do a little research.
Basically, Spikeball is a lot like volleyball except instead of hitting the ball over the net, you hit it onto a circular net/trampoline to volley the ball to your opponents.
