About the book

Gary Paulsens Lawn Boy is about a twelve year old in Minnesota who receives a lawn mower from his grandmother as a birthday present. Lawn Boy starts mowing a neighbors yard and progresses to a 15 person crew of workers. Through investments he ends the summer with over $500,000 dollars, a growing stock portfolio, and sponsors a prize fighter. The book provides some light finance lessons on how to make money, save money, and invest mon-

he age-old workout question; which is better, lower or higher intensity levels? First of all, it depends on your definition of whats better? The word better is contingent on what kind of exercise you are doing, what are your goals, hows your health, whats your fitness level, your personal exercise schedule, etc. If you can run or walk vigorously for 30 minutes, will it provide greater health benefits than walking more slowly for 30 minutes? But what if, the moderate exercise is done for longer time so that it burns as many calories as the shorter intense workout, without all the huffing and puffing. Could it be just as good or maybe even better? Calorie for calorie, research supports that vigorous exercise is almost always better for heart health, calorie burning and weight loss, building of the HDL (Good) cholesterol and may be more beneficial in improving insulin sensitivity and other metabolic factors.

other problems; therefore its not the best option for many people. The best guidelines come from the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association. Their advice is that healthy people do moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for at least 150 minutes a week (30 minutes, 5 days a week); or you can do vigorous aerobic exercise for at least 75-minutes a week; or a combination of moderate and vigorous activities. On average, one minute of vigorous activity is considered equivalent to two minutes of moderate activity. Up to a point, the more exercise you do each week, the greater the benefits, especially for weight loss. Moderate exercise means working hard enough that you raise your heart rate, break a sweat, yet you are

still able to carry on a conversation. Vigorous exercise increases the heart rate and sweating even more and it would be hard to hold a continuous conversation. Lower-intensity exercise does have its advantages. People are often more willing and able to do it and stick with it. Theres less chance of injury. It does promote weight loss, given that you do the exercise for longer amounts of time. The bottom line is that you should exercise most or all days of the week and work up to more strenuous activities, if possible. Any exercise is good and consistency is the overall key to long term function and health. If you have a choice and want to do the best with your exercise time then increased intensity is the better way to lose weight and affect your health.
