For the June issue, I produced a 24-page Health and Fitness Guide, conceiving, pitching, and assigning all of the s. Articles include:
-Doctors Ditching Medicine for Medi-Spas
-Meeting Non-Weight-Loss Fitness Goals (Running Faster, Toning Up, Decreasing Heart Rate, etc.)
-The Biggest Threats to the Health of High Schoolers
-One Local Girl's Success with Gene-Based Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis
-Fifteen Common Health Myths Debunked
-Five New Healthy Food to Eat in 2013
-Q&As with Westchester's Health Experts-Why Health and Fitness Should Be a Family Commitment
Of course, I couldn't resist writing of of my own, a slideshow gallery about gadgets and apps that can get people started on the road to fitness.
Gadgets and Apps to Get You Going
Here, my favorite:
THE RUNNING DEAD: Nothing motivates as much as sheer terror: It gets the heart pounding and the legs moving. Do you think you’d have as much trouble with your get-up-and-go if you were running for your life amidst the zombie apocalypse? The Zombies, Run! The 5K Training app deposits you in the middle of one of 30+ missions; you need to run (in real life) to avoid (virtual) zombies, all set to your favorite adrenaline-pumping music. You’ll also be sent to collect critical supplies and return them to your base to save civilization as you know it. Available for iPhones/iPads, Android, and Windows phones, $1.99; zombiesrungame.com.
