My feet are in pain!?
I just got a new job at Marshalls retail store and today I only worked four hours and I got out at 4 and my feet are still hurting. It's already 8! WTF is wrong with me? I've been working for a while now so I don't think it's because I'm new. What going on? Also my legs hurt as well, like the bones of the leg. I have Dr. Scholls shoes but I don't really like them. I've tried all kinds of shoes from crocs to adidas but nothing seems to help. What's wrong with me?
Answer:
Do you stand still a lot? Freeze a bottle water and roll your foot over it (with socks on, or a towel on the bottle) to ease the pain.
"Toe taps" and Heel raises (seated or standing) should help decrease the leg pain.
Have you had your foot sized recently? Try going to a shoe store that measures and makes sure the shoes are correct for you.

The History of Taekwondo in the Oympics
A lot of people learn about Taekwondo when they see or hear about it in the Olympics. However, there are two popular questions that come up once someone is exposed to Taekwondo. Those are, 'Where did it come from' and 'how do I get started' and this article will cover both those questions.
Taekwondo is a form of martial arts that originated in Korea. It is, in fact, the national sport of South Korea. In the Korean language, "tae" means foot, "kwon" means fist, and "do" means way. The typical translation of "taekwondo" is "the way of the fist and foot." Considering the number of people that practice and study taekwondo, it is the most popular of all the martial arts. Taekwondo students choose to practice this martial art for a variety of reasons. Some participants enjoy the fact that taekwondo is a sport and offers training in self-defense, while others study taekwondo as a form of meditation or physical exercise.
The roots of taekwondo can be traced back about two thousand years ago, but established rules and regulations for this martial art were not formed until 1957. It is believed that today's taekwondo was begun during the Japanese Occupation of Korea from 1910 - 1945, particularly the years between 1930 and 1940. Fearing resistance to their occupation of Korea, the Japanese forbade the practice of martial arts by Koreans. Koreans organized underground martial arts practices, using many of the martial art techniques they had seen exhibited by the Japanese during the Occupation years, and developing their own special form of marital art.
Taekwondo was not part of the Olympics' line up of sporting events until the 1988 Seoul, Korea Olympic games. In 1988, taekwondo was a demonstration sport for the Olympics. Taekwondo was not an official sport of the Olympics until the 2000 Sydney, Australia Olympic games. Not surprisingly, Korea won three of the four gold medals for taekwondo competition at the Sydney games.
The sportswear manufacturer, Adidas, will be supplying the Chinese Olympic team with taekwondo supplies for the 2008 Beijing, China Olympic games. Adidas has partnered with the 2008 Olympics and will also supply sportswear for the many Olympic officials, volunteers, and staff. Adidas manufactures a full line of taekwondo supplies, including taekwondo sparring equipment, protective gear, and uniforms.
Taekwondo uniforms are V-necked, long-sleeved uniforms, usually made from a cotton and polyester blend fabric. Sparring equipment for taekwondo includes vinyl-covered padded head gear, gloves, and shin guards. A popular taekwondo protective gear is the body protector, a padded body shield for the chest, abdomen, and shoulder area. It is important to remember that all taekwondo equipment should fit properly and comfortably. Look for the approval of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) on all taekwondo equipment.
