TWO Biggest Loser competitors 'dropped like flies' after collapsing while scaling 10,000 stairs during a task called 'The Punisher' at the Sydney Opera House.
Why are we always in a rush to lose weight? It took some time to get on there, and so it should take some time to get it off again. Pushing people until they collapse is not the answer. All it will do is risk a cardiac event. Slow and gentle will get you there, it just takes a bit more time and good things take time. Why do we make entertainment out of watching other people suffer?

Intriguing findings from a new study presented last week suggest the mortality benefits of running are best accumulated in shorter distances, specifically at less than 20 miles per week [1]. In fact, at longer distances, the researchers observed a U-shape relationship between all-cause mortality and running, with longer weekly distances trending back in the wrong direction, toward less mortality benefit.
