Health fair kicks off Canton Marathon
Posted: at 1:17 pm
They came from near and far to sign in for the inaugural Canton Marathon.
The Aultman AultCare Fitness & Health Expo at Memorial Civic Center began Friday afternoon and runs today from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Its a mandatory stop for everyone participating in marathon events.
Brothers Phil Sannes and David Resneck-Sannes will be running in familiar territory, sort of.
The two were Repository carriers in the 1950s. The full marathon course theyre running goes through both of their old paper routes, in the Belden Village area, which has changed since the advent of rock n roll.
It still amazes us when we come here how much things have changed and stayed the same, Phil Sannes said. The brothers grew up in North Canton. I played my last (Hoover) high school basketball game right there, he said, pointing to the Civic Center auditorium.
He flew in from Raleigh, N.C., to run, and his brother flew in from Santa Cruz, Calif. Resneck-Sannes, 69, has run in about 80 triathlons and 50 marathons, he said.
Ive only run in 30 marathons, 64-year-old Phil said. His best time is three hours, 35 minutes. A few years ago.
Davids best time is 4 hours, 32 minutes. The 69-year old isnt expecting to match that. The heats a factor, he said.
Their goal? At our age, survivals good, Phil said.

Meet Miss India Fitness Physique 2012!
Posted: at 1:16 pm
At 35, Karuna Swami is in the best shape of her life and fitness is both her career and her passion. In an interview with rediff.com, she discusses how a super-fit mother of six inspired her, why Indians have no commitment to their health and how looking like a celeb is not the be-all and end-all of exercise and dieting.
The venue is UK Fitness Centre, the location Andheri, Mumbai. Uday Swami, a body builder, greets us and then proudly introduces his wife. Winner of Miss India Fitness Physique 2012, Karuna Swami walks in beaming, her face lit up. Giving all our contemporary actresses a run for their money, the lady claims her body is 'out of shape' at the moment.
"People these days simply associate being thin with being fit -- I don't understand why. If you have broad shoulders, be proud of your broad shoulders, but tone your body instead of losing weight," she starts off.
Despite being a sports enthusiast since her school days, Karuna faced opposition from her father initially -- he wanted her to be a teacher. "During our days, it was only if someone didn't do well after graduation that s/he was encouraged to resort to the fitness profession. It was one career which desperately needed professionals; even a person without any expertise or knowledge could become a trainer," she says.
Although her struggle wasn't easy, today she proudly flaunts her trophy and believes the respect she receives was totally worth the wait. With more than 15 years of experience in the fields of yoga, aerobics, gymnastics and body building, she breaks fitness myths for professionals who have no time for their well-being.
The Swamis recently launched a 'Fitness Modelling Programme' at their Juhu centre, which combines fitness training with body sculpting and brings any fitness enthusiast to par with international standards. The three month long rigorous training programme began in May 2012 and invites applications from everyone.
Karuna also conducts regular sessions for women and holds competitions on a mass level to encourage sports across the country.
In the following pages, she discusses her career, the fitness programme she and her husband are offering at their centre and simple tips to incorporate health into your daily routine.

EXTRA: John Travolta talks marriage, family and new film
Posted: at 1:16 pm
Posted on: 6:16 am, June 16, 2012, by Nick Dutton, updated on: 11:55pm, June 15, 2012
GLENSIDE, Ca. (EXTRA) John Travolta sat down with Extras Jerry Penacoli to discuss his new film Savages and opens up about his 20-year marriage and dealing with personal adversity.
On working with Director Oliver Stone for his new film Savages:
It matters to him your performance. You dont get that a lot. Meaning that a lot of directors are preoccupied with everything, as they should be. But hes preoccupied with your performance. He listens to every word and every choice. And he takes it apart and wonders if it can be done differently or better.
On keeping his marriage together:
Well, weve always been stable with each other. We use our communication skills. We understand what is going on in life and in the industry.
Coping with personal family tragedy:
I think the toughest part was just the loss of our son and once we were able to get through that, and times we didnt think we were going to. I think we figured we could handle anything. Everything else pales in comparison.
Extras exclusive interview with John Travolta airs Monday, June 18 right after CBS 6 News at 7 p.m. withBill Fitzgerald.

Quick Question: Will online learning revolutionize education?
Posted: at 1:15 pm
Here's how five people answered this week's question posed by Capital Times freelancer Kevin Murphy. What do you think? Please join the discussion.
"I've taken online courses through a community college and it may work for some people but for my interests, I could never see doing it online. Being able to talk to people is how I learn best. I'm going to school to be a lawyer and I would never go online to get that degree. I really value the social aspect of what I do whether it's work or education or hanging out with friends so, as much as I like the online community, I just engage more and learn better when I'm with people."

"A year ago I started using the Internet to actually help me get better educated because I can't afford to go to college and I have been consuming as much information as I can. I ask questions and the Internet is an easy, affordable way to get those questions answered and I learn as I go along."

Fitness classes that can rock your body
Posted: at 12:11 pm
If the thought of another grueling boot camp class has you yawning and dragging your feet, why not try a workout that makes fitness feel like a party?
Whether you like to dance, spin or just channel your inner rock god or goddess, there's a class out there that will fit the bill, and still burn fat and build muscle.
The L.A. Times scoured Los Angeles gyms to come up with three total-body workout classes that bring the music and fun from the clubs into the studio. Think of these as alcohol-free happy hours or your time to release stress while keeping your fitness goals on track.
Prices vary, depending on whether you belong to the gym where the class is offered or buy packages of classes. Some sites offer discounts for the first class. Single classes cost around $20 to $25.
Buti Yoga
(Multiple locations. Classes can be found at http://www.butifitness.com.)
Buti Yoga, developed by yoga and fitness expert Bizzie Gold, is a sexy hybrid of Miami Booty Dance, yoga and CrossFit-type plyometric moves (explosive moves to build power).
Set to loud Afro-Brazilian funk, hip-hop and reggae music, Buti's intense 60- to 90-minute workouts will have you swiveling your hips during warrior one pose and shaking your bum during deep prayer squats.
The suggestive moves are enough to make some first-timers blush or giggle, but Gold believes that Buti's sexy stance is good at building self-esteem and body awareness.
Buti (pronounced booty, not beauty) also amps up the calorie burn. Plank jumping jacks, squats and mountain climbers keep your heart rate elevated between longer poses or vinyasa. And many classic static yoga moves, such as triangle pose, have been transformed into dynamic exercises to help participants stay in a cardio zone.

Positive Soccer Coaching: Never Blame a Child on the Soccer Field
Posted: June 15, 2012 at 10:14 pm
In a recent youth soccer game that I was coaching, a player on the opposing team made a defensive error. My team took advantage of the miscue, and we scored a goal. The other coach immediately yelled at his player, blaming him for the goal. It was loud enough for all the players and parents around the field to hear. The child also heard the comments and slowly walked up the field with his head down.
It Happens Often
Believe it or not, incidents like this one do happen in youth soccer. I have seen it happen over and over again in local soccer games. Nothing good can come from blaming and embarrassing a child on the soccer field. Coaches should never blame children for anything they do on the field.
Kids Do Try
Kids do try on the soccer field. They want to win. After all, that is the point of the game of soccer. So it makes no sense to blame a child on the soccer field. The last thing they want to do is make a mistake and give up a goal. And they feel bad enough when errors happen.
Filling the Emotional Tank
Coaches in the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) are taught to fill players' emotional tanks. In other words, the best way to motivate young players is to praise and encourage them. Blaming kids on the soccer field just drains their emotional tanks in one shot.
The Magic Ratio
PCA also recommends a magic ratio when providing feedback to young players. They suggest giving five compliments to ever one criticism. By providing praise along with criticism, players are more likely to listen. On the other hand, a coach who only gives criticism will quickly be tuned out by the players.
