Four years ago, short track speedskater Allison Baver wasn't finding speed in workouts with her female American teammates. So, at the World Arena Ice Hall rink, where the U.S. short track team trains, Baver started chasing the guys. One practice, I told my coach, 'I'm going to skate with the guys today.' He's like, 'No. Girls and guys separate.' That's the way it's always been, you know. On purpose, I lapped the girls to show him, 'Look, this isn't helping me. I need to start skating with the guys.'
The best exercise for you depends on the stars, say the authors of "Zodiaction" (Bantam, $15), a book that bills itself as "the first-ever workout program based on your astrological sign." Authors Ellen Barrett and Barrie Dolnick reason that millions of people seek guidance from the horoscopes in their personal lives, so why not when getting physical? The 208-page book breaks down the best workouts - and the ones to avoid - for each sign. It's clearly female-centric, too, but for what it's worth, here's a quick spin through the wheel: - By Richard Seven, The Seattle Times
Mary Carillo and John McEnroe won a mixed doubles title together at the French Open in 1977. As the tennis world returns to Paris for the French Open this weekend, both are still on top of their games -- as broadcasters. Carillo has joined forces with the Tennis Channel, the cable network that will carry more than 75 hours of match coverage to viewers from Stade Roland Garros.

Compulsive exercise (also called obligatory exercise and anorexia athletica) is best defined by an exercise addict's frame of mind: He or she no longer chooses to exercise but feels compelled to do so and struggles with guilt and anxiety if he or she doesn't work out. Injury, illness, an outing with friends, bad weather - none of these will deter those who compulsively exercise. In a sense, exercising takes over a compulsive exerciser's life because he or she plans life around it. Of course, it's nearly impossible to draw a clear line dividing a healthy amount of exercise from too much. The government's 2005 dietary guidelines, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), recommend at least 60 minutes of physical acti...

When Len Godfrey first spotted Jackie Thomas at the Portland hospital where they both worked, his interest was piqued. It was 1980, and Jackie had recently joined the staff as a nurse. Len, an X- ray technician, was attracted to her beauty and smile, but also to assumptions about her personality he made based on her choice of profession and reputation in the workplace. You meet on friendly ground to start with and there's a certain amount of professionalism and trust," he said. "You know this person is already a registered nurse, she's probably a quality person with a personality, good communication skills and a good understanding of healthy living skills.
