Harriet Bishop assembly honors commitment to health and fitness
Posted: at 2:16 pm
Posted: Saturday, June 16, 2012 2:00 pm | Updated: 2:11 pm, Fri Jun 15, 2012.
A whos who of Minnesota celebrities, including a Viking and a princess, converged on the gym at Harriet Bishop Elementary School in Savage recently. Those famous faces werent the main attraction, though. The hubbub wasnt for the royalty or the Norseman, but rather for two modest women committed to healthy living.
Annalisa Hultberg, Smart Choices health and wellness coordinator for the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District, and Jenny Hinman, Harriet Bishops administrative assistant and school wellness coordinator, were named Minnesotas Fuel Up to Play 60 Program Advisors of the Year.
Fuel Up to Play 60, a joint nutrition and fitness partnership between the National and Midwest dairy councils, the National Football League and the United States Department of Agriculture, furnished the morning assembly. The event featured a visit from Minnesota Vikings mascot Viktor the Viking, former Vikings linebacker Matt Blair and current Princess Kay of the Milky Way Mary Zahurones.
I have to thank Annalisa, said Hinman of the honor. She did most of the paperwork.
Hultberg secured two $4,000 Fuel Up to Play 60 grants for nutrition and physical activity in District 191. Those grants helped support everything from running clubs at Hidden Valley, William Byrne and Rahn elementary schools to cafeteria-based initiatives designed to help students make better dietary choices. Students have been doing taste testing yogurt parfaits, low-fat dairy, whole grains and veggies in their lunchrooms.
Ive seen a lot more interest in nutrition from the students, Hinman said. Its kind of cool.
And things have been kicked up a notch at Harriet Bishop.
Students host healthy cooking segments on the schools daily news broadcast, H.B. Buzz, and the buildings dance troupe just closed out its third season.Hultberg gave the credit to her fellow honoree when it came to divulging why Harriet Bishops success stood out.
I think Jenny has been huge in motivating staff, she said. Shes pushed students to take the lead.

Councilmen encourage village outreach programs
Posted: at 2:16 pm
Sunday, June 17, 2012
THE old maxim "health is wealth" has never rang true nor been clearly more understood than today in this age of physical fitness regimes, cornucopia of health spas and keen awareness for physical well being.
Understandably not everyone is able to reach this level of wellness considering various limitations such as but not limited to poverty and scarcity of resources, financial.
Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.
Seen in this light, the effort of the private and public sector to extend health services for free in the community has been continually commended and extolled for trying to achieve the noble purpose of looking out for the health and well being of those considered less fortunate in life.
In relation to this, a proposed resolution has been filed by the City Council seeking to direct all punong barangays in the city to allow and encourage the conduct of medical and dental outreach programs in their respective barangays for the benefit and interest of the poor and less privileged constituents of the City.
Recognizing the health services being offered by many charitable organizations who volunteer to render free medical and dental services by engaging in this outreach programs, Councilman Edison Bilog, in introducing the legislative measure to the august body, hopes to secure the commitment of the punong barangays in allowing the conduct of these programs within the barangays.
The councilman cited in his proposal that undergoing regular medical check-ups are often financially burdensome to those lacking in resources even if this is conducted by the government and offered at a discount.
He also observed, more often than not, that the poor only seek medical assistance when they already feel that something is seriously wrong with their health.
Bilog added the barangays must take advantage of the free medical and dental outreach programs offered by charitable organizations as a way to foster the health and well being of their constituents.

Health fair kicks off Canton Marathon
Posted: at 1:17 pm
They came from near and far to sign in for the inaugural Canton Marathon.
The Aultman AultCare Fitness & Health Expo at Memorial Civic Center began Friday afternoon and runs today from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Its a mandatory stop for everyone participating in marathon events.
Brothers Phil Sannes and David Resneck-Sannes will be running in familiar territory, sort of.
The two were Repository carriers in the 1950s. The full marathon course theyre running goes through both of their old paper routes, in the Belden Village area, which has changed since the advent of rock n roll.
It still amazes us when we come here how much things have changed and stayed the same, Phil Sannes said. The brothers grew up in North Canton. I played my last (Hoover) high school basketball game right there, he said, pointing to the Civic Center auditorium.
He flew in from Raleigh, N.C., to run, and his brother flew in from Santa Cruz, Calif. Resneck-Sannes, 69, has run in about 80 triathlons and 50 marathons, he said.
Ive only run in 30 marathons, 64-year-old Phil said. His best time is three hours, 35 minutes. A few years ago.
Davids best time is 4 hours, 32 minutes. The 69-year old isnt expecting to match that. The heats a factor, he said.
Their goal? At our age, survivals good, Phil said.

Meet Miss India Fitness Physique 2012!
Posted: at 1:16 pm
At 35, Karuna Swami is in the best shape of her life and fitness is both her career and her passion. In an interview with rediff.com, she discusses how a super-fit mother of six inspired her, why Indians have no commitment to their health and how looking like a celeb is not the be-all and end-all of exercise and dieting.
The venue is UK Fitness Centre, the location Andheri, Mumbai. Uday Swami, a body builder, greets us and then proudly introduces his wife. Winner of Miss India Fitness Physique 2012, Karuna Swami walks in beaming, her face lit up. Giving all our contemporary actresses a run for their money, the lady claims her body is 'out of shape' at the moment.
"People these days simply associate being thin with being fit -- I don't understand why. If you have broad shoulders, be proud of your broad shoulders, but tone your body instead of losing weight," she starts off.
Despite being a sports enthusiast since her school days, Karuna faced opposition from her father initially -- he wanted her to be a teacher. "During our days, it was only if someone didn't do well after graduation that s/he was encouraged to resort to the fitness profession. It was one career which desperately needed professionals; even a person without any expertise or knowledge could become a trainer," she says.
Although her struggle wasn't easy, today she proudly flaunts her trophy and believes the respect she receives was totally worth the wait. With more than 15 years of experience in the fields of yoga, aerobics, gymnastics and body building, she breaks fitness myths for professionals who have no time for their well-being.
The Swamis recently launched a 'Fitness Modelling Programme' at their Juhu centre, which combines fitness training with body sculpting and brings any fitness enthusiast to par with international standards. The three month long rigorous training programme began in May 2012 and invites applications from everyone.
Karuna also conducts regular sessions for women and holds competitions on a mass level to encourage sports across the country.
In the following pages, she discusses her career, the fitness programme she and her husband are offering at their centre and simple tips to incorporate health into your daily routine.
