Health and Fitness Chat Wed August 6 at 2:30 EST - This week's Topic: Fascinating Fitness Factoids

Do you know how many calories it takes to gain a pound?

What's the strongest bone in your body?

How many muscles it takes to take one step?

How many times the average person blinks in a day?

Join the Health and Fitness Bunch today at 2:30PM Eastern in the Mafia Chat Lobby to test your health and fitness trivia knowledge!

No prizes (unless the Princess says so! ;) ) but you are guaranteed to leave more informed than when you arrived!

We meet weekly and discuss everything under the sun that has anything to do with health and fitness.

Hope you can join us!

Bumpity bump!

I'll be there

You mean we are going to learn something?? LOL

Everyone is welcome to join us in chat. We have a fun time chatting and sharing.

Bumping..it's almost time

5 minutes to chat.. come on in the chatroom

Here are the answers to those questions... :)

1. It takes 3500 extra calories to gain a pound.

Think about that the next time you scarf down that Whopper and Fries. :affraid:

2. The strongest bone in the human body is the Femur--the bone that attaches from your hip to your kneecap. Although it is a hollow bone, the femur is pound for pound stronger than annealed steel.

If you want to keep it that way be sure to "do the dairy" thing. Don't forget a calcium supplement!

3. It takes 200 muscles, all working together to take one step.

How do babies EVER learn to walk?

4. The average human blinks around 12,000 times a day.

That's based on a 16 hour day by the way. :)

Thanks to everyone who stopped by today--and we hope to see you next week!

Next week's topic? It's the Work at Home Mafia health and fitness chat's first ever Whiney Wednesday.

Bring your gripes, your complaints, your whines (c'mon, you can't fool me. I KNOW you've got something to kvetch about. ) to the chat lobby next Wednesday at 2:30 eastern and lay your burden down!!

See you then!
