about a month after a student was arrested for planning a violent and elaborate attack. but officials say.. the additional police presence is not tied specifically to that threat. elizabeth graswich/san ramon unified school district: it has more to do with what's going on, in terms of just climate and i think that in general our families like all families in the united states are feeling a little bit nervous related to what's been taking place across the nation. in april a freshman was arrested on suspicion of planning an attack set to take place on april 20, 2021... he called it columbine 2.0. police say.. they found a tactical vest, camouflage helmet and a toy shotgun at his home and arrested him. students we talked to say.. this is now their new normal. jillian weber/studentit was a little bit disheartening because it does kind of seem like that is very much the trend at the moment. it's frightening to be a student at this time but it's really cool there's a lot of surity here for our protection. alia badian/studenti heard pretty much the same thing. we were informed by our admin and everyone had a conversation with their parents about it. but our admin handled it i think the best way possible in the situation. and it's been really lucky to have such supportive people working for our school making sure everything is okay. about 2800 students attend the high school. and roughly 700 of them are in the graduating class. so officials say... making sure everyone stays safe is a huge task.

are you able to walk for miles on a treadmill, but your thighs burn and you're quickly out of breath when you climb up some stairs? our health expert, karen owoc, is here to explain why stair climbing is so different from walking. stair climbing improves cardiorespiratory fitness. it is officially classed as a "vigorous" form of exercise. stair climbing is a more powerful form of walking because it: requires you to pull your weight against gravity. á requires more effort which means you accrue health benefits more rapidly.
7:48 am
á burns 2-3x more energy (even at a slow pace) than walking on a flat surface at a brisk pace. stair climbing and sex researchers in canada monitored healthy male volunteers averaging age 64 while they walked, lifted weights, or climbed stairs. stair climbing was the most demanding. stair climbing was: á twice as taxing as brisk walking on level ground. á 50 percent harder than walking up a steep incline or lifting weights. á faster at attaining peak exertion than walking (thus, explains the "huffing and puffing" going upstairs). how to reduce mortality and stop middle-age weight gain á climb 8 or more flights/day: per a harvard alumni study, men who imbed an average of 8 or more flights of stairs per day decrease mortality by
7:49 am
33% compared to sedentary men. note: compare to 22% lower death rate in men who walked 1.3 miles per day. á climb stairs for 7 minutes every day: studies show it can cut your heart attack risk in half over 10 years. how to train don't attempt to charge up several long flights of stairs without a warm-up and when you're not in condition yet. á start at a slow, steady pace. á begin with just a flight or two. add more flights as you improve. á take the stairs whenever possible. á wear comfortable shoes. avoid wearing heels. á if you have a long climb, walk part way, then switch to an elevator. the takeaway: stair climbing can be a health plus and is a great way to increase core strength (abdomen, back, gluteals), thighs (hamstrings + quadriceps), and calves - all the muscles you need for good postural control and for being functionally.

8:47 am
are you able to walk for miles on a treadmill, but your thighs burn and you're quickly out of breath when you climb up some stairs? our health expert, karen owoc, is here to explain why stair climbing is so different from walking. stair climbing improves cardiorespiratory fitness. it is officially classed as a "vigorous" form of exercise.
8:48 am
stair climbing is a more powerful form of walking because it: requires you to pull your weight against gravity. á requires more effort which means you accrue health benefits more rapidly. á burns 2-3x more energy (even at a slow pace) than walking on a flat surface at a brisk pace. stair climbing and sex researchers in canada monitored healthy male volunteers averaging age 64 while they walked, lifted weights, or climbed stairs. stair climbing was the most demanding. stair climbing was: á twice as taxing as brisk walking on level ground. á 50 percent harder than walking up a steep incline or lifting weights. á faster at attaining peak exertion than walking (thus, explains the "huffing and puffing" going upstairs). how to reduce mortality and stop middle-age weight gain á climb 8 or more flights/day: per a harvard alumni study, men who climbed an average of 8 or more flights of stairs per day decrease mortality by 33% compared to sedentary men. note: compare to 22% lower death rate in men who walked 1.3 miles per day. á climb stairs for 7 minutes every day: studies show it can cut your heart attack risk in half over 10 years. how to train don't attempt to charge up several long flights of stairs without a warm-up and when you're not in condition yet. á start at a slow, steady pace.
8:49 am
á begin with just a flight or two. add more flights as you improve. á take the stairs whenever possible. á wear comfortable shoes. avoid wearing heels. á if you have a long climb, walk part way, then switch to an elevator. the takeaway: stair climbing can be a health plus and is a great way to increase core strength (abdomen, back, gluteals), thighs (hamstrings + quadriceps), and calves - all the muscles you need for good postural control and for being functionally.

additional police presence is not tied specifically to that threat. elizabeth graswich/san ramon unified school district: it has more to do with what's going on, in terms of just climate and i think that in general our families like all families in the united states are feeling a little bit nervous related to what's been taking place across the nation. in april a freshman was arrested on suspicion of planning an attack set to take place on april 20, 2021... he called it columbine 2.0. police say.. they found a tactical vest, camouflage helmet and a toy shotgun at his home and arrested him. students we talked to say.. this is now their new normal. jillian weber/studentit was a little bit disheartening because it does kind of seem like that is very much the trend at the moment. it's frightening to be a student at this time but it's really cool there's a lot of security here for our protection. alia badian/studenti heard pretty much the same thing. we were informed by our admin and everyone had a conversation with their parents about it. but our admin handled it i think the best way possible in the situation. and it's been really lucky to have such supportive people working for our school making sure

are you able to walk for miles on a treadmill, but your thighs burn and you're quickly out of breath when you climb up some stairs? our health expert, karen owoc, is here to explain why stair climbing is so different from walking. stair climbing improves cardiorespiratory fitness. it is officially classed as a "vigorous" form of exercise. stair climbing is a more powerful form of walking because it: requires you to pull your weight against gravity. á requires more effort which means you accrue health benefits more rapidly. á burns 2-3x more energy (even at a slow pace) than walking on a flat surface at a brisk pace. stair climbing and sex researchers in canada monitored healthy male volunteers averaging age 64
9:49 am
while they walked, lifted weights, or climbed stairs. stair climbing was the most demanding. stair climbing was: á twice as taxing as brisk walking on level ground. á 50 percent harder than walking up a steep incline or lifting weights. á faster at attaining peak exertion than walking (thus, explains the "huffing and puffing" going upstairs). how to reduce mortality and stop middle-age weight gain á climb 8 or more flights/day: per a harvard alumni study, men who climbed an average of 8 or more flights of stairs per day decrease mortality by 33% compared to sedentary men. note: compare to 22% lower death rate in men who walked 1.3 miles per day. á climb stairs for 7 minutes every day: studies show it can cut your heart attack risk in half over 10 years. how to train don't attempt to charge up several long flights of stairs without a warm-up and when you're not in condition yet. á start at a slow, steady pace. á begin with just a flight or two. add more flights as you
9:50 am
improve. á take the stairs whenever possible. á wear comfortable shoes. avoid wearing heels. á if you have a long climb, walk part way, then switch to an elevator. the takeaway: stair climbing can be a health plus and is a great way to increase core strength (abdomen, back, gluteals), thighs (hamstrings + quadriceps), and calves - all the muscles you need for good postural control and for being functionally. in the face of senseless violence, we need hope.
