SECRETS OF ANCIENT KUNG FU SOLVE MODERN FITNESS PROBLEM Finally, gap between intense martial arts aerobics and soft soothing exercise programs which elongate muscles, such as yoga and Pilate's, has been bridged. A martial arts aerobic has been created that has intensity and an extreme workout like popular kick boxing type programs but with a soft fluid motion that is natural to body. With popularity of Tae Bo, Cardio Kickbox, Cardio Karate, and lots of other similar programs there has been an increase in injuries. Exercisers are turning up with muscle strains, painful hips, back injuries, and overextended knees and elbows. The routines in these programs require that practitioner is already flexible and conditioned for that type of activity. They use a lot of ballistic type stretching which specialists in field have deemed unsafe. Even a few professional athletes have been injured. These programs, however, have some great benefits also. Mainly, they focus on larger muscle groups giving a more intense cardiovascular workout. They have a mental intensity; i.e. you can visualize an opponent and what you're doing to him. Also, they are more likely to attract men, who have shied away from traditional aerobics. They really are a great exercise. With all of injuries related to these systems, softer programs have seen a resurgence. Yoga has once again become popular. Pilate's, which was designed for injured dancers, is on upswing. But these can't give workout that martial arts aerobics can.

Chickenpox: Chickenpox is a viral infection, very common and highly contagious disease, newborns and adults may experience more severe symptoms then children who are at risk before age of ten. Vaccinations have reduced its incidence. The symptoms for chickenpox do not appear until infectious stage has begun these are fever, fatigue, itchy rash, loss of appetite. This virus is transmitted by air (coughing or sneezing) or physical contact with a sick person, one or two days later a pimple like eruptions appear on body they are filled with fluid and look like blisters, then they crust over. During this period itching can be very annoying but scratching them can lead to infection and scarring. Most of us are infected with this disease ones in our lives, after fist exposure to virus, body builds up immunity in form of antibodies that recognize disease and kills virus before it can infect us again. Chickenpox normally starts and finishes in about two weeks but people with weak immune systems or newborns can have very serious complications, if infected prenatally there is a risk of birth defects.
