Jump at the Chance to Slim Down

By Carly Young, November 18, 2011

After you hear the word "plyometrics," the first thing you might ask is "plyo what?" But aside from the overly complicated name, this full-body exercise technique can give you the body of your dreams. Otherwise known as "jump training," plyometric exercises are designed to mimic the movements that are performed in sports like basketball, skiing and tennis. There is a lot of dodging, jumping and charging in these moves, all of which will raise your heart rate and ensure you work up a healthy sweat.

The leaps and bounds of plyometrics will increase your speed and endurance and also increase your muscular power because of the stretching and contracting involved. For example, one type of plyometric training move involves jumping straight up as high as you can, landing in a crouch position, and then jumping up again. When you land from the jump, your quadriceps muscles will stretch as you bend your knees and then contract as you leap up again. This pre-stretch lends more power to the second jump.

Some quick safety tips for all plyometrics: When you come down, make an effort to be light on your feet, so your landing is low-impact. And instead of coming down on your whole foot at once, which can aggravate the knees, think of rocking on your foot and land from toe to heel. It's fine to do these moves on your living room carpet, but think twice if you have hardwood floors (or a low ceiling!).
Take Action:
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"

And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

HHS website helps companies insure gay employees
By Chris Johnson on November 18, 2011 - Washington Blade

The Department of Health & Human Services has expanded its website on health insurance companies to include a filter allowing small business owners to locate plans allowing for same-sex partner coverage.

The website, healthcare.gov, was established as a result of the health care reform law that President Obama signed into law in 2009. The website provides details about the Affordable Care Act and offers a searchable database enabling individuals and businesses to find health insurance plans.

In addition to providing a filter enabling small businesses to find plans covering same-sex partners, the expansion of the website - activated on Friday - lets businesses find product choices for a given zip code, sort them by out-of-pocket limits, and find plans with mental health and maternity coverage.

Secretary of Health & Human Services Kathleen Sebelius said the change fosters a more transparent and competitive marketplace in addition to allowing businesses to find plans in an unbiased manner.

"This new information will help business owners navigate what has traditionally been a complicated and confusing decision," Sebelius said. "Both owners and their employees can feel more confident that the plans offered will be the best to suit everyone's needs."

An informed source said the change is just a first step and a later iteration of the website will enable individuals - not just employers - to find health insurance plans that allow for same-sex partner coverage.

According to HHS, the website is the first to bring together information and links to health insurance plans in one venue. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services collected the benefits information from insurers. More than 530 insurers provided information for more than 2,700 coverage plans.

Fred Sainz, vice president of communications for the Human Rights Campaign, welcomed the change.

"This is good news and another sign of progress," Sainz said. "Anything that makes it easier for companies to ensure that all their employees, including those with same-sex partners, have access to health insurance is a good thing."
