>> yes, that was better news. >> i said mark who is playing today. >> red skins i said really? they are still playing. this thing is we are all hoping maybe one last game against the divisional foe the eagles you sum it up for one last hoorah, ring in 2012 the right way it did not work out that way we have been talking about rex grossman all year. gain yesterday rex was indifferent wasn't good rex or bad rex he got hit here trying to find armstrong, you can say well, that is not his fault but -- because he gets hit on the play, he had three that got hit. >> why do we have to see it again and again. >> 256-yards touchdown and fix, pass rating 54.7 bott testimony line is this red skins are 5 and -- bottom line is this, red skins are 5 and 11 rex

and 8 as starting quarterback. the three games they had with beck were a complete and colossal disaster but weren't much better necessarily, with rex grossman at the help. so, if they go draft a quarterback is he going to start right away? are they going to throw him right into the fire and say this is the guy because rex grossman is not the guy, he is an unrestricted free agent do you want to sign him? the off season begins right now that is the way it is. >> at the end of the first half y'all it was a calamity to say the least we call this a fire drill what we mean is that red skins have no time outs, rex grossman throw it is ball underneath, gaffney he can't get out of bounds the clock is tick tick tick tick. got to rush the kicking team on or keep that team on and bite the ball they didn't do either they were in the middle guys coming on, coming off first half expires you can't even get the chip shop field goal off it

doesn't look good on the coaching staff when you see this type of thing happen. what we found out after the game they had a communication break down and they basically said they couldn't hear and the communication device in the head set so rex couldn't get the play from mike which basically said throw to the end zone don't throw it in the field of play rex has got to know that himself he shouldn't have to be told that by mike shanahan or kyle shanahan for that matter it just leads to a disaster after the game you can tell the frustration of the coach. there are things you do poorly, you try to work on, in the off season and that is one of the areas we are working on obviously the big one is turn overs they lost the turn over battle like philadelphia, you don't make the turn overs, regardless how good you are. we make a turn over quite a bit. i thought we made strides, we will continue to keep on working. >> some of the things we got to go through to get to where we

are trying to go. and you know, who knows, you know, what would have happened if something would have happened differently in the season it didn't we have to take it for what it is and know that we didn't get to build on it. >> i guess that is really the glass half full approach, saying they didn't take a step back it is hard from the outside looking in to think they didn't take a step back that is what they believe or are telling us mike shanahan hit it on the head when he said we have a lot of areas we have to improve in. 5 and 11, steve spurrier famously said, not very good. they are not very good. two teams played last night for nfc east title giants and cowboys, red skins swept the giants here they are, victor cruise, takes offer here to break a score with tie, and alison i want you to see the dance at the end he does a salsa dance do you like it

ready? >> classic. break it up, like it. brad shaw makes the cowboys look foolish on that touchdown run, 21-0 at the half they win easily 17 points now the representatives from nfc east red skins beat that team twice you look at it and go wow they are the fourth season of playoffs hosting a playoff game next week what could have been for the red skins it was not meant to be. sadly it is over. 5-11 not very good. >> thank you dave ross. get out of here. >> time 7:23 a.m. on monday morning coming up next another successful year for the sober ride program. >> paying tribute to the president's past vacationing in hawaii obama's get a glimpse into their family history. >> big spike in gym membership to kick off the new year haven't we heard this story before. before you start that new years resolution there are basic things you should know like stretching before a work out.

the first in the nation. typically the person who comes out on top in iowa do we see them standing there at the end of this whole season. >> not always iowa always faces a crisis of confidence in terms of is it really fair this one state gets to have such an influential role in the process if they pick ron paul there will be some questions about that because these are so far out of the mainstream, for either party. >> we have been talking about ron paul looking good going into iowa. let's talk about him now and who does look like they are on top going in. >> his numbers are good romney is number one in the polls there was a poll came out saturday night it is the most influential poll, des moines register poll, the best predictor, romney, ron paul, rick santorum. rick has all the momentum and the poll was conducted over four days, last two days, rick

santorum bumped paul from second place you see him rising, ron paul falling, lower tier candidates not looking as good newt gingrich now in fourth continues to free fall he is now complaining the negative advertisements against him have been unfair. >> want to talk about both those issues first the ads, doesn't seem like we have been hit with a bunch of them yet but is that different in iowa? >> yeah, i mean in iowa, the air waves are just filled with these advertisements all the time. >> what is the tone? >> the tone has been brutal for newt gingrich but usually you don't win any points with voters when you complain about tactics, and get into debates whether the ad was fair or not you have to keep to the issues, to be effective. there have been talks newt gingrich just had so much baggage going into this entire race, this contest, is that what they are hitting him on? his record in washington?

his marriages? what exactly are they going after. >> so many things to choose from, when it comes to his record they are mostly hitting him on hypocrisy, times he took stands as a liberal calling him an unreliable son versa tiff. >> let's -- conservative. >> let's talk about did something happen or is this the cycle of an election year. >> this has been a fantastic story line for reporters like me you have had these shifting sands and voters are looking for the conservative alternative from mitt romney they have gone from candidate to candidate and been brutal when it turns out that person doesn't look electable and find flaws they didn't see first glance newt gingrich was the first one and now rick santorum. >> what happened to michelle bachmann. >> she had a difficult decline her campaign is kind of?

shambles at this point she is dickering with campaign aids who left her campaign and said they needed to go to ron paul it has been a mess for her and now lowest in the polls. >> so funny i don't know if we have short attention spans just waiting for the next thing but when herman cain was in the race he got all this momentum, then dropped out who got his support or did they go away. >> gingrich got the support and then his support is faulterring and now santorum, so you can see these like mountain tops in the polls where all these candidates had their moment in the sun but romney has stayed level. the inferno's is his base of voters stayed the same -- inference is that his base of voters stayed the same. >> end of the day does he win iowa? >> well, it is difficult to predict for a couple reasons

first of all 41% of people say they haven't picked up their mind as of saturday night the second reason, it is just, not quite like a vote, you know you go into these polling centers and people tried to convince their neighbors how they should be going in this vote there is a lot of peer pressure it is unusual for how it works we will have to see how it goes he is leading in the polls now. jonathan strong, roll call reporters and friend of this show appreciate you coming in today. >> new developments involving suspicious car fires in los angeles, the very latest after the break. >> ringing in the new year with a new baby next, we will introduce you to the region's first baby of 2012. stay with us, fox 5 morning news continues ahh... so much better than last year.

if you vow to get fit in this new year and are working out, new to it the gym can be intimidating scary place. >> annie yu is live in northwest dc with some basic things you should know good morning. >> reporter: good morning matt and alison welcome back alison. we are here live at sport and health clubs northwest dc we have been stretching this morning and mitch, the senior vp of fitness here and jeff, the fitness director joins me

now mitch why is it so important we have been stretching for 30 minutes. >> because we want to have fun basically, one of the ideas is many of us sit very very often we sit for 6 or 8 or 10 hours a day at a desk, at a computer or calf muscles get tight, hip flex ors and chest muscles get tight those three stretches are very important to try to loosen up. aches and pains develop. >> this one is the hip flex or stretch imagine if you sit very often the hip flex or gets pretty tight and shortened what i am doing now is i am stretching this hip flex or as i lane into the stretch you will feel it stretch along here you want to hold it for 20 to 30 seconds and then switch sides and repeat. >> why is it really important to do this before and after a work out. >> i like to do it after a work out specifically after the

muscles are very warm i don't want to stretch a cold muscle that could maybe result in some tightness and pulling and even some injury so i want to do it and make sure i keep my muscles elastic if they are tense and constricted then i try to run for instance or jog or play tennis i could much more easily pull a muscle and get injured that is something we don't want to do. >> what is the second one. >> the second one is we showed you the calf stretch against the wall another one that would be great to do is a chest stretch. >> okay. >> again if i am sitting very often i am going to hunch over after sitting for 6 or 8 hours and my chest muscles get tight i want you to put a hand, against a sturdy column, could be a door way, and i want you to turn away from it, and you will feel it stretch, all along the chest here. >> turn away. >> turn away >> i feel it right in this area. >> these are stretches you should be doing before how much time would you spend on these stretches. >> if you hold each one for

about 30 seconds, and then you repeat, it is only maybe 5 minutes of stretching. >> mm-hmm. >> make sure you always stretch afteryou are warmed up. >> jeff i have to ask you, there are a lot of sport and health clubs and other gyms in the area what sets you apart from them. >> um, so, i think the biggest difference between us and any other gym is just the people that work here how much -- how professional our are, how educated we are, and how much we care about our members and the fitness goals of the people, yeah, that is the biggest difference all the gyms have roughly the same equipment, instead of just machines it is the people from mitch on down to our trainers. >> i think my arm is stretched out probably, what are somethings people can do at home because i mean we may get some snow and they may not be able to hit the gym what is an easy thing they can do. >> what i like to do is grab a

pair of light dumb bells i want to show you something that incorporates a lot of muscle grooves and burns a lot of calories if i just sit, make believe there is a chair behind you and basically going to sit, curl and press up. >> we will do this coming up we will do some cardio stay with us on fox 5 morning news

time traffic. traffic. prediction for the new year i think your mic needs to be on. >> it is not on matt? >> mine should be on are we okay? we are doing all right with the mic? audio issues. okay let's look at the past year and talk about -- >> i would rather not. >> because you didn't nail it. >> i only got half of them right out of 8 i got arguably four right. >> what was your biggest miss. >> probably failing to see that the mayor grey and the district, would have all the legal troubles and these scandals would erupt i basically anticipated, grey would be sort of welcomed as sort of effectual, low profile, but you know, decent mayor instead, these big scandals blew up in his face my other big mistake i expected maryland would approve same-sex marriage during 2011 of course it

didn't. it might in 2012. >> i want to get back to talking about mayor grey and the district, that might be the cover city politics what are your predictions for the near future. >> well, my main prediction, i did a column this is my column that i ran sunday, this is the third time i've done it it is sort of a predictions for the washington region in the coming year and takes sort of a whimsical, multiple choice fore mat, quiz, approach, some of them are jokes but mostly it is serious i do reporting for it my prediction specifically for the district had to do with which of the top three politicians would be indited, during the year, mayor grey, council chairman kwame brown or councilmember harry thomas junior. i predicted that only thomas would be indited during the year and neither grey or brown

would be indited. >> so the brown allegations you don't think will stick. >> not to the mayor what i said i expect that the u.s. attorney, will conclude that even if grey's come pain knew about the sulemon brown dealings there isn't enough evidence the prove that grey himself did. >> it sounds like that has been -- there has been two other investigations that is similar to what those investigations have found. let's talk a little bit about virginia as well and some of your predictions for the senate race there >> i predicted, really two big races in virginia, coming up november, the presidential race, whether or not virginia goes for president obama again, or goes for whoever is the republican nominee for president, and then the senate race between kim cane and republican george the highest profile u.s. senate race in the country i go out on a limb and

predicted democrats will win both, virginia will stay in the democratic column and presidential race and cane will win but i can't say i am real confident about that prediction certainly, both republicans could win both races or there is a possibility a lot of people are speculating it could go for the republican nominee for president but cane who is quite popular, could squeak through and win the senate seat for the democrats and it would be a ticket splitting thing. >> interesting i want to ask you because i thought it was interesting you talked about this occupy movement here. >> right. >> freedom plaza, mcpherson square you believe they won't be staying as long as some others. >> no, i believe they will be staying that is my prediction, i am going out on a limb there. you get two occupations in the district which is unusual they are quite different the one at mcpherson square is more radical, caused more trouble all the arrests have been at

mcpherson square the one at freedom plaza has the permit, just extended their permit the question i asked in the column was will they both be allowed to stay will they both be kicked out or will one be allowed to stay, freedom plaza and mcpherson square kicked out i predicted that they both end up staying, certainly freedom plaza will stay they co-operate with authorities and you know, both the white house and the district government, are sympathetic to their goals. >> they just got a permit last week. >> yeah so the real question is whether mcpherson square people are going the learn to get along with the authorities and not be -- whether they will be allowed to stay whether their civil disobedience will be in an orderly way, you know, for demonstrative pumpses and not actually cause -- purposes and not actually cause trouble or destroy property or hurt anybody if they can learn to do

that i think they will be allowed to stay too. >> even with the congressional committee looking hard. >> yeah, but i think that could help them because, if the white house and the district government are seen as buckling under to pressure, from very conservative house republicans that is going to annoy the democratic base and i think the white house and district government may prefer to keep the democratic base happy and defie the house republicans but if the mcpherson square protestors cause damage, really start you know blocking traffic at rush hour frequently, doing anything else that hurts their image and reputation, with the public even more than it has already suffered then i think they will have to back down and kick them out. >> thanks so much we will see how you do >> i hope i do better >> thank you sir. >> alison. >> it is now 8:23 a.m. on monday morning, well, how is

>> ravens? >> are they -- >> in the town in dc it is because they are our neighbors north, we ride them a little bit now because they are in the playoffs each and every year and red skins sadly are not. we have to buy osmosis live vicariously. >> do we? >> we don't have to,. >> let's talk about the skins,. it would have been nice the go out with the win but to look at the glass half full red skins did their fans a service by losing that game, that ensured they had the sixth overall pick in april that could be huge when talking about potential quarterbacks we have four months to dissect that. we will dissect yesterday first, santana moss had an incredible day, this is a sure touchdown, in the bread basket, number 8 doesn't like that it doesn't make him look any better later right before end of the half santana gets tugged

on right there, by defensive back no call from the referee so santana, infuriated takes off his helmet that is an automatic, 15-yard no brainer penalty you can't take your helmet off he knows that. but little things like that, there goes the flag, backed them up out of field goal range they had time management issues end of the first half lead to a complete and utter debacle in the first half, and lead to a 31-10 defeat after the game i guess you could say the guys still trying to be positive as best they can. there are things you do poorly you try to work on in the off season. that is one of the areas, the big one is turn overs they lost the turn over battle, you don't make the playoffs when you turn the football over regardless how good you are we turn the football over quite a bit there are areas we need to work on i thought we made some strides we will continue to keep on working. >> feels like that is some of this things we need to go to.

and you know, who knows, you know, what would have happened, if something would have happened differently in the season it didn't we have to take it for what it is and know that we can build on it. >> what it is guys, it is a 5 and 11 team we are kind of talking, you are hinting around, beating around the bush about the shanahan situation again he has a 5 year contract this is just year 2 the first year was not good, 6 and 10 with questionable personnel decisions, but they did do well in the draft okay this is where i want to give the shanahans credit. two of those we will look at now here is evan oyster this kid was a 6 round pick. sixth round they got this guy late in the draft looks pretty good 20 carries, 110, lead in receiving, 52-yards he was virtually the offence. another guy they got is a

fourth round pick out of nebraska he was banged up. i want to make a point about this, he is clearly givenning on a toe and knee situation not only did he play he scored the red skins only touchdown. he is limping, considerably watch this on the touchdown run you will not believe this just watch helu. is he right? you tell me he is givenning his way to the end zone -- gimping his way to the end zone yet wanted to be out there with his teammates, the guys in this locker room still believe whether we believe it or in the there is a reason why they are giving it their all. glass half full you got those rookies we just talked about other guys coming back that were big time picks last year jarvis jenkins, hankerson once they get healthy just maybe you group them with that sixth overall pick they are going to get and things could look better. back to our neighbors to the

north, the punisher, roy rice from rutgers with two huge touchdown runs yesterday in their big win over the bengals why was it a big win? it cemented the number two seed for the ravens in the playoffs meaning they get a buy next week, don't have to play for two weeks can rest up if they win their first round game they could host the championship or go to new england and be one step from the super bowl. let's not get ahead of ourselves, take care of business do what you got to do, and we will see you in a couple weeks. >> they look strong. >> really good. >> a win on the road yesterday was impressive. >> see you next hour. >> 8:39 a.m. on this monday morning on friday we told you about verizon's $2 fee for paying bills with a credit card. >> that didn't go over well now the company is changing its tune more on that when we come back stay with us. >> funny how they do that. >> mm-hmm

sport and health club northwest. when we are talking about cardio how do you get the most out of your work out. >> there are so many choices here they are all good we like you to choose the one you love have people work up to 30 minutes for their heart rate where it is in their 30 to 70% of their max rate zone. >> you have to work up to that level. >> we don't want anyone injured or over do it too soon work up to it slowly but get to that 30 minutes of intense stuff, moderate intensity is good. and any of these pieces of equipment can make that happen for you. >> let's start with the treadmill this is the most popular one in the gym maybe. >> one of the most popular. >> how do you get the most out of using the treadmill >> we love to recommend is that intervalue training now intervals can be very gent 8, to very -- gentle to very very intense the idea you might take a minute where you go harder than you are used to experiencing and then back it off and go kind of easy for a

minute then go right back up, for another minute of pretty intense stuff relative to what you can handle and what is comfortable for you you oscillate between hard easy, hard easy gets you in shape faster burn more calories fast ever and really good for you. >> you should spend a minute at reach speed. >> doesn't have to be a minute could be depending on your fitness level when you start out initially it could be 2 minutes easy, 30 seconds harder pace then 2 minutes easy, 30 seconds as you get more fit, the hard intervalue gets longer and the -- intervalue gets longer and the rest intershall shorter. >> i have heard 30 minutes is not enough time to burn is that true? should you aim for 45 minutes. >> it is everything good all burns calories as you go beyond 30 minutes into a longer period of time, it is sort of can teach your body how to utilize

source as a preferential source of fuel longer can be better but we want to be safe that is the most important thing if you are injured you are out. >> so what are some other machines there is clearly a lot in this gym. >> a bike is a great way to start, there is no impact on the body, very easy to do, everyone knows how to do it and as long as you get your heart rate up you are in good shape. >> right now our friend is going what is it 80? >> there is two ways, i can either pedal faster or increase the inon thety of echappe tall stroke either way my heart rate is going to respond. for those who say i want to lose weight or get into shape what kind of mind set should you be in. >> for me if you make the decision this is important, for me i don't know anything more important than my health so for me there is not a question of am i going to do it today i just know i am what i find and everyone else finds this, once you begin, once you get yourself to the health club, that is the hardest part then once you are there, it is not
