THis article is very illustrative, but I would like to know to learn a couple of warm-up routines and I can't find any, at least on this site.

This is a very interesting article. I always thought that you should stretch before doing any type of exercise and that stretching was the same as warming up.

Talk about going backwards!!! Thankx for this article.
I was stretching BEFORE warm up.

Sooo I guess dancing then walking instead of walking then dancing.
Dancing then housework..I will try this.

Glad I read this article, I never thought warm up and stretching were completely different. Now I know I have to do both.

Physically limited people needs to read this article. The warm up in physical Therapy is stretching...There are other ways inwhich physically limited people can do as a warm-up. I will try this new approach to a warm up and see what happends.

Chef Meg's Zucchini Muffins

These muffins are very filling!

The whole wheat flour makes for a dense muffin, which I like. You only need to eat one! If you want a lighter muffin try using whole wheat pastry flour, which is more finely ground and available in the bulk bins at larger grocery stores.
