Low Calorie Cooking Tips

Sometimes all it takes is a quick switch to lower the calories
and add a new twist to the flavor of an old favorite. Here are
some ideas for savvy substituting:

* Broil, grill, roast, steam, stew, stir-fry rather than fry.

* Use two egg whites in place of one whole egg in most baked goods.

* Add spices (e.g., cinnamon) to sweet baked goods to enhance the
flavor when you reduce sugar.

* Flavor cooked vegetables with lemon juice, flavored vinegars,
and herbs instead of fat and salt.

* Substitute lowfat yogurt for mayonnaise or sour cream in dips
and dressings.

* Serve fresh, baked, or broiled fruits for dessert in place of
sweets.

* Drink sparkling water with a lemon slice or fruit juice mixed
with sparking water instead of soft drinks.

It just makes good sense to eat the best diet you can. The effort
it takes to make wise food choices can bring big rewards in terms
of general health and fitness, weight control, and an enhanced
sense of well being.

Ways To Stay Fit
By Lynne Bailey and Hester B. Golden

There are many ways to get and stay fit. Here's a few:

YMCA, adult or community education classes such as step aerobics,
aquatics, low-impact aerobics, weight training, jazz and other
forms of non-professional dance, tai chi, yoga (some teachers
combine fun, jazzy dance routines with yoga), horseback riding,
swimming and countless others. Go and see for yourself!

For those of you who want to do partner activities, consider
swing, ballroom and western dance classes. Roller and ice
skating are fun couple activities. You can do a lot of
dancing on roller and ice skates!

Water sports, like rowing, kayaking, surfing, windsurfing, water
skiing, etc.

Basketball, touch football, soccer, tennis, badminton, table
tennis, base ball, softball, volleyball, running, jogging,
speed walking, bicycling, nautilus or other exercise machines,
stationary bicycling, stretching (invent your own, I learned
some great ones from my cat! Imagine your an animal and stretch
like they would.) isometric exercise. Try playing some of the
traditionally competitive games and sports without scoring.
(note from Lynne - My husband and I have discovered that tennis,
especially is a lot more fun that way!)

Be creative and design your own fitness routine. If you need new
ideas, as I mentioned earlier, watch a work-out video. For those
who can - hire a personal trainer. Or, keep it simple. Take a
hike or work in your garden!

For you off-beat athletes, consider karate, aikido and other
martial arts, juggling, hackey-sack, outdoor roller skating and
roller blading (some people use ski poles while blading),
frisbee-tossing, archery, pole-vaulting, discus throwing, 50
yard dash, invent whacky relay races, white-water rafting,
rock-climbing, hang-gliding - the sky's the limit!

How To Build A Squat Rack.

This rack was copied from my local gym. The construction of it has been slightly modified to make it more suited to the home constructor. The original used pins that had stepped ends that would require a lathe to manufacture. To overcome this...
