Coordinated Aerobic Exercise & Strength Training: The Low Impact Fitness Trampoline
Posted in: Today's ChiliFew of us today have time to do all the types of exercise we need to
stay fit. Not only should aerobic exercise be an integral part of our
daily routines, but strength training is also very important. Fitness
experts advise you to focus your strength training on upper body or
lower body, rotating them on different days and, further, on large
muscle groups and small muscle groups. If you can’t spend a few hours at
the gym every day, here’s at least one exercise machine that works
several muscle groups and gives you an aerobic workout too: The Low Impact Fitness Trampoline.

What do you do when you procrastinate? Look at cat pictures and GIFs on the web? Really? Why, me too!
It seems like a lot of us do nothing but scour the internet for the latest feline-related funnies, so it isn’t really surprising that something like Procatinator actually exists.
It’s a hilarious website that partners up a random animated kitty with an appropriate song from YouTube. Consider it a soundtrack of sorts for the cat that’s being featured in the GIF.
The site was started back in 2011, so it’s definitely been there for a while now, serving up laughs and hours of mindless fun to people who constantly put off important stuff like work for later. I mean, why do it now when you can do it later?
Spoken like a true procrastinator.
Procatinator was created by Ernesto González Aroca and Claudia Mussett.

If Disney’s Princesses Texted
Posted in: Today's ChiliPeople are naturally fascinated with royalty. Case in point? All the attention Prince William and Kate got when they had a baby. This fascination extends beyond reality, as artwork and spoofs are often created with Disney’s Princesses as their muses.
Another one of these is this series by Tumblr user Missmaceymouse.
Here, she imagines the princesses having an iPhone and the messages that they would send to their friends and significant others. Ariel is still looking for more thingamabobs, Cinderella can’t seem to stop losing her shoes, Aurora is still a big sleepyhead, and Mulan is still, well, Mulan.
Check out the gallery below for the full series.
