A Realistic Barbie [One More Thing Before We Go]
posted by Ernessa T. Carter
Just in case you were under the impression the current version of Barbie was in any way realistic and more importantly wasn’t creating unrealistic body expectations for the girls in the doll’s target market, researcher Nickolay Lamm created this model of what a real-life Barbie would look like. From Lamm: The…Barbie vs “normal” Barbie images were created with the help of a 3D printed model of a normal woman. This white model was made using measurements that match up closely with CDC measurements of the average 19 year old woman in America. The end result is what Barbie would look like if she was a healthy, beautiful, 19 year old woman. It’s super-disturbing. And if my daughter ever ask for a Barbie, I think I’ll let her save up for one, but explain that Barbie is actually an alien from another planet and of course not meant to represent women from this one.

The 7-Minute Workout [One More Thing Before We Go]
posted by Ernessa T. Carter
I’m going to do this 7-minute workout for 7 days straight, starting next Sunday. Anyone interested in joining me? Here’s the breakdown: In 12 exercises deploying only body weight, a chair and a wall, it fulfills the latest mandates for high-intensity effort, which essentially combines a long run and a visit to the weight room into about seven minutes of steady discomfort — all of it based on science[…] In the program outlined by Mr. Jordan and his colleagues, this recovery is provided in part by a 10-second rest between exercises. But even more, he says, it’s accomplished by alternating an exercise that emphasizes the large muscles in the upper body with those in the lower body. During the intermezzo, the unexercised muscles have a moment to, metaphorically, catch their breath, which makes the order of the exercises important. The exercises should be performed in rapid succession, allowing 30 seconds for each, while, throughout, the intensity hovers at about an 8 on a discomfort scale of 1 to 10, Mr. Jordan says. Those seven minutes should be, in a word, unpleasant. The upside is, after seven minutes, you’re done. Find out more at the New York Times’ Well blog....
