Winter Walks

The cover story of Prevention magazine's February issue is "Walk Off Fat (+ Make it fun!)", which I thought would appeal to those of us who are Fitbitters or are just trying to stay active during the cold winter months. You can find this issue in Ellis Library's current periodicals collection. You can also find more information about walking on Prevention's website, including this article about how to add 5000 steps per day or this one about maintaining your walking routine even with snow on the ground.

And for those of you who are really adventurous, how about taking your cat for a walk in the winter wonderland? Just don't lose him out there!

  The Internet Health Test runs a few short speed tests to several measurement servers on different networks to compare how your broadband connection performance varies to different parts of the Internet. These tests shouldn't take too long and do not collect  personal information from your browser.
