A school in Illinois that I don't know the name of has over 400 guys (Just guys) on the team and 300 girls. There is a movie made about it called Green Running.

My team definitely has the most athletes compared to any other sport at our school. We have close to 100 runners this year. Dakota Ridge High School in Littleton Colorado. We have state next weekend and we are going to dominate!

Cherry Creek High School in Greenwood Village, CO gets close to 300 runners per year.

--------------------------------

I'm not sure that there is a movie about any school in Illinois called Green Running, but there is a movie about York Community High school, in Elmhurst, IL called Long Green Line. but that's all I can think of. York's in my high school's conference.

My high school (Lyons Township High School in La Grange, IL) girl's XC team is the largest in the nation. We had over 300 members in 2007, and it fluctuates every year of course, but it is always more than 260.

I think that is the name of the movie. I couldn't remember exactly. We watched it at cross country camp last year. That is a lot of members at your school...and just girls. Do you have a lot of sports at your school because at our school we have football, womens and mens tennis, womens and mens soccer, womens and mens basketball, hockey, women's swimming, wrestling, womens lacrosse, baseball, softball,.... you get the point. Many people are involved in those sports therefore leaving only 100 people for cross country.

How do you exercise if you have scoliosis?

Hi

I have Scoliosis and had my correctional surgery in 1989 and now have a Harrington rod

There are many ways you can help yourself exercise when you have Scoliosis.

Have you tried:

Yoga for Scoliosis

Pilates

Rolfing

Swimming (not breast stroke, bad for the neck)

My favourite way to keep my spine in shape is Yoga for Scoliosis written by Elise Miller and swimming in the Summer, although I cannot do many lengths I tread water for a while and do 20 lengths before it gets too much, I also have a float to help support me and I have Yoga exercises for the water also.

I have a web page that also lists many ways you can exercise when having Scoliosis, I do urge you to talk to your Dr before you take any up any form of exercise, each person has a different case of Scoliosis, mine if Thoracic mainly and was a 76º curve before surgery.

I hope you find something that suits you, it is difficult and I understand

Simone

---- Hi,

I also have had surgery for scoliosis (in 2006).

I find that pilates is a great help for me and swimming was also good.

I think it all depends on what you are able to do and also it is better to find something that will not only benefit you but you will enjoy it at the same time.

But like Simone says I think you should definitely talk to your doctor before taking up any kind of exercise.

Katie =================

It is important to correct and maintain your posture as far as possible. Scoliosis always involves imbalances of spinal and other musculature, which can be improved by physical exercises. In general, you need to stretch muscle groups that are taut and shortened, and strengthen weak muscles. Because each case of scoliosis is somewhat different -- I am right convex but you may be left convex, and so forth -- it is advisable to be diagnosed by a physical therapist.

The physical therapists most knowledgeable about scoliosis treatment have been trained in the Schroth method, a system practiced in Germany since the 1920s. You can find a Schroth therapist through the list on the National Scoliosis Foundation's homepage: http://www.scoliosis.org For detailed information on the method, see the manual by Christa Lehnert-Schroth. A local physical therapist could learn enough from this book to help you.

http://www.schrothmethod.com Hi! I had it to. The best way to excercise is do yoga. My scoliosis got better

What is the difference between continuous and non-continuous heart rate monitors?

A continuous heart rate monitor constantly measures the heart rate. Typically, these monitors have a chest strap that transmits the heart rate to a wrist watch continuously over the period of workout.

A non-continuous monitor is a monitor that has to be told to measure the heart rate. These monitors are typically watches without a chest strap. The user measures the heart rate by pushing on the watch so that firm contact is made with the user's pulse. The watch then displays the heart rate while the user pushes on the watch.

Do colonics help you to lose weight?

Removing toxins from the body does help the body to lose weight, since fat is partially a way for the body to defend itself from toxins. Some fat is a stress response to toxins, and the stresses from the acidosis caused by toxins. Fat can have a snow-balling effect as excessive weight makes removal of unwanted materials more difficult, while overall weakening the immune system; leading to even more weight gain, stress, and/or diabetes eventually.

While this method might actually help a little, I do not recommend it. There are better methods which are much cleaner and safer than this approach, and which do not compound the problems by disrupting the intestinal flora, or risking an infection. One of the best things generally going for alternative medicine is that it is less risky and invasive, and it has been that way for reasons. The practitioners usually remember the principal: "First do no harm".

Colonics help in removing stuff that clog your colon. The main aim of colonics is to help relieve constipation as well as de-clog the colon so it's not really intended for weight loss. If you are interested, you could also try colon cleansing or detox diet to lose weight.

Most Colonic therapist will instruct you to take a probiotic to increase the amount of healthy bacteria in your colon before and after. We live in a red meat society and you probably have worms of some sort in your colon. A friend of mine did a series of 4 in a month. He eats a lot of raw fish and lightly cooked red meat, not only did he loose 7 lbs and have a flatter pooch, but he also noticed a lot of worms.
Not in the long run. Initially you will lose some straight afterwards (in the same way that you would if you overdosed on laxatives- you will have an empty intestine). However they have no more effect than that. Also, the risk of getting peritonitis or a punctured colon is also worth considering before you embark upon colonics.

Whats is Shareholders exercise on control of the company's business?

Shareholders (owners) appoint CEOs and VPs, and if any of them are taking the company in a direction that they believe is too risky or will prove unprofitable than they will act in the interest of the company and sort of veto whatever bad decision they believe the CEO or VP had made. This can also be just firing them.

After eating a meal why do you have to wait before exercising?
