Nutritional Information Printed on Receipt: Cool or Not?
Nutricate, a new company, has developed technology that prints the nutritional information of your purchased meal right on the receipt. The way I see it, it could go two ways: the new receipts may make some of us feel horrible that we just purchased a meal that has 1,000 calories while others can feel overjoyed with how many calories they are saving by simply saying, "Hold the mayo." I could see this becoming a problem when folks get their receipt and want to change their order completely after they've realized they've just purchased a heart attack on a plate.
MBT shoes = A Toned Backside, No Lie
My backside feels almost dead after sitting on it all day. My favorite way to resuscitate it is walking in my MBTs.

Get Your Butt in Gear: Heart Rate Monitoring Sports Bra
Some people are against wearing a heart rate monitor while they workout because they feel it would be annoying to wear the strap around your lower chest. While I feel zero discomfort whatsoever wearing my strap, you may want to try going strap free.
The NuMetrex Heart Rate Monitoring Sports Bra ($49.50) works with the Polar WearLink Transmitter and compatible watches.

Celebs Like to Shake It
At first, the Power Plate seems like another gimmicky weight-loss product, but its website features endorsements from fit celebs like Madonna, Courteney Cox, and Hilary Swank. On top of that, it's used by over 60 college and pro sports teams, and the Police brought one with them on their reunion tour. That's some serious celeb street cred.

Knuckle Cracking Is A-OK
I have written about knuckle cracking in the past, exposing the notion that doing so causes arthritis for what it is a health myth — one that is perpetuated by grandmothers all over the US. One doctor took his research on the subject quite personally.

Shoe Review: Nike Lunar Glide
After wearing my new Nike Lunar Glides ($100) around the house to break them in, I took them on all sorts of runs while visiting the East Coast.
