What’s in The News?
Physical Activity and Your Daily Routine!

Daily exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. If you  make time for running, jogging or walking daily, you are doing it right!  Many of us cannot seem to find the time for these activities. That  should not stop us from trying to stay fit. A proper diet should also be  part of your daily routine. It can be as simple as walking alone or  with friends and family. Take the time to establish your physical daily  fitness routine and stay healthy.

Choose activities that you enjoy and can do regularly. Fitting  activity into a daily routine can be easy — such as taking a brisk 10  minute walk to and from the parking lot, bus stop, or subway station.  Or, join an exercise class. Keep it interesting by trying something  different on alternate days. Every little bit adds up and doing  something is better than doing nothing.

Make sure to do at least 10 minutes of activity at a time, shorter  bursts of activity will not have the same health benefits. For example,  walking the dog for 10 minutes before and after work or adding a 10  minute walk at lunchtime can add to your weekly goal. Mix it up. Swim,  take a yoga class, garden or lift weights. To be ready anytime, keep  some comfortable clothes and a pair of walking or running shoes in the  car and at the office.

More ways to increase physical activity.
  • Join a walking group in the neighborhood or at the local shopping mall. Recruit a partner for support and encouragement.
  • Push the baby in a stroller.
  • Get the whole family involved — enjoy an afternoon bike ride with your kids.
  • Walk up and down the soccer or softball field sidelines while watching the kids play.
  • Walk the dog — don’t just watch the dog walk.
  • Clean the house or wash the car.
  • Walk, skate, or cycle more, and drive less.
  • Do stretches, exercises, or pedal a stationary bike while watching television.
  • Mow the lawn with a push mower.
  • Plant and care for a vegetable or flower garden.
  • Play with the kids — tumble in the leaves, build a snowman, splash in a puddle, or dance to favorite music.
  • Exercise to a workout video.

    “Prefix, Suffix, Affix” New Words in English!

    What is an “Affix?”. An “Affix” is a letter or letters added to a  root word to change it’s meaning. Prefix and suffix are terms used to  further describe an affix. In other words “Affix” is a word used to  describe both a “Prefix and Suffix”. A “Prefix” is placed before a word.  A “Suffix” is placed after. New words are created from root words. Many  words have both a “Prefix and Suffix”. There are many forms and  specific reasons for adding letters to words. The main idea is to create  other words with different definitions in English. Below are a just few  examples. Check your dictionary for prefixes and suffixes to better  understand this subject.
