Dear Poll: Have You Ever Walked in on Your Parents Having Sex?
Thankfully I can say no to this question — I've never walked in on my parents having sex, but I do have friends that have! Of course, I'm thrilled to know that my parents still love each other and their fire still burns for one another, but I'm relieved to have virgin eyes when it comes to witnessing their sex life. So ladies, even though this is one seriously embarrassing topic of conversation, tell me, have you ever walked in on your parents getting busy?
Do Tell: Have You Ever Walked in on Your Parents?
I was at happy hour with some girlfriends the other night and we all started trading stories about our parents; how they met, how long they have been together, etc. Well, all of a sudden, my friend stepped it up a notch and told a story about the first time she walked in on her parents having sex! Needless to say, that certainly sparked conversation and all the other girls chimed in.

What's the Deal With Race Walking?
One of the most fascinating events I watched during the Olympics — though not the most action-packed — was the men's 50-kilometer race walk. The route is more than 30 miles (that's longer than a marathon), and these guys were totally booking it; gold medalist Alex Schwazer of Italy finished in three hours and 37 minutes. The striding style is best described as jaunty: arms pumping, hips shaking, and feet always on the verge of breaking into a jog.

You Asked: 60-Minute Brisk Walk vs. 30-Minute Jog
Dear Fit,
I'm trying to lose weight, so cardio has become a part of my weekly routine. When it was cooler out, I had no problem jogging 30 minutes, about four times a week. I live where the temps are in the 80s and 90s right now with a considerable amount of humidity, and it's been brutal jogging.
How to Make Your Walk Work Harder
Since tomorrow is Start Walking Day, I wanted to stroll out some tried-and-true tips for getting the most out of your walk.

Walk with Your Peers: WalkStyles.com
Have you ever joined an exercise group or class only to realize everyone is at least 20 years older (or younger) than you? It definitely puts a damper on things, especially since most of us are more likely to continue an exercise regimen if we're enjoying it. I am not saying you can't hang out with people who are not in your age group, but when it comes to exercising it may be beneficial for some of us to stick with those in our own range.
