In a blog post on the website on Tuesday, the administration suggested additional flexibility, without specifying a new deadline.</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">It was the administration's latest move of the goalposts as it tries to recover from technical failures and political missteps that dogged the enrollment drive for weeks after it opened on Oct. 1. Trying to make up for lost time, the administration has announced a series of last-minute changes and delays to get as many people as possible covered under the Affordable Care Act, Obama's major domestic policy initiative.</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Before Monday's rush, more than 1 million people had signed up for private coverage through HealthCare.gov - which serves 36 states - and 14 state-run marketplaces, according to state and federal estimates.</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The figure, though likely to climb by Christmas, is still short of previous estimates that 7 million people could enroll by the end of March, the last date to obtain health insurance coverage in 2014. About one-third or more will need to be young, healthy adults whose payments into the system would help offset the costs of covering older, sicker people.</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">"Sometimes despite your best efforts, you might have run into delays caused by heavy traffic to HealthCare.gov, maintenance periods, or other issues with our systems that prevented you from finishing the process on time," Tuesday's blog post on HealthCare.gov said. "If this happened to you, don't worry - we still may be able to help you get covered as soon as January 1."</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">MINIMIZING THE CONFUSION</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The problematic rollout of the health law known as Obamacare, which was passed in 2010 and survived legal challenges, helped send Obama's popularity ratings to record lows and stepped up Republican efforts to gut the law and use it against Democrats in 2014 congressional elections.</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The more recent changes, which the administration has said are intended to show flexibility, have introduced a new element of confusion for consumers as well as the health insurance companies who have been pressed by the government to allow new members to pay, and even sign up, past Jan. 1 for retroactive coverage. So far the industry has agreed to extend the first payment deadline to Jan. 10.</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">"Health plans will continue to do everything they can to help consumers through the enrollment process and to mitigate potential confusion or disruption caused by all of these last minute changes to the rules and deadlines," said Robert Zirkelbach, spokesman for American's Health Insurance Plans, an industry trade and lobbying group.</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The Affordable Care Act requires most Americans to be enrolled in coverage by March 31 or face penalties that start at $95. This week's deadline, which had already been moved to Dec. 23 from Dec. 15, applied to coverage starting on Jan. 1.</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Last week, the administration said people whose plans were canceled because they did not meet new standards of coverage under the law would qualify for a "hardship" exemption that allows some people to avoid a penalty for not signing up for health insurance.</span><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 4px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Several state-run exchanges have also moved their enrollment deadlines. New York and California, two of the largest, added a one-day grace period similar to the federal insurance marketplace. Massachusetts said on Tuesday it would allow sign-ups until Dec. 31 given heavy volume and technical problems that have hampered its exchange. Rhode Island, Oregon and Maryland had already extended their deadlines beyond Christmas.

Fitness Health Benefit

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Genie Wallace</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>It is regrettable that many people find themselves overweight and out of shape. Modern lifestyles factors, which include processed foods diets, sedentary office work environments and the various media outlets, have caused a good portion to ignore or forget the effect these have on their health. Working out can help you drop some weight, lower cholesterol levels, improve stamina and build immunity. An exercise machine, like a home treadmill trainer, can make it easy to incorporate regular fitness and exercise activities into your busy routine.<br /> <br /> Benefits of Having a Treadmill<br /> <br /> Treadmills are used to walk, jog and run on. Some people use them to condition their bodies, such as to lose weight. Others use them to train on, most often for races and marathons. Treadmills offer more opportunities for engaging in intensive cardio workouts than other gym fitness units. There are various treadmill workout apps to lose weight, build muscle or simply improve stamina. Treadmills are great fitness machines because they can be used in so many different ways. Athletes use them to train on, casual users use them to stay fit, and overweight people use them to lose weight.<br /> <br /> Standard Treadmill Features<br /> <br /> Speed adjustment is a basic and important feature on treadmills. Incline adjustment capability is another commonly found feature in treadmills, and it allows you to lift the tread belt to different heights. The purpose of these options is intended to help make doing exercises fun and different. You'll have the ability to personalize your workouts so that you're always interested and engaged.<br /> <br /> Modern treadmills have many inbuilt workout programs. These programs include workouts designed for targeted fitness goals such as weight loss and training. Just select the app before you begin and follow the treadmill's instructions. As the workout program advances, you'll note that the speed and incline of the tread belt running change. The pace and the resistance levels will vary, so go with a program that you know you'll be comfortable with.<br /> <br /> Some treadmill programs work to exercise your heart. A heart rate sensor assists in these types of workouts. Most heart rate monitors are either clipped to the body somewhere or held in the hand. More expensive treadmill trainer models utilize a chest-strap heart rate monitor, which many say is more accurate when it comes to monitoring your heart rate and calories burned. A treadmill trainer can have several different monitors, in addition to a heart rate monitor. These monitors help you monitor various fitness levels as you workout.<br /> <br /> Something you might be surprised to know is that treadmills usually have customization settings. Built-in system memory can enable you to retain personalized workout analytics or programs. The capability to remember customized workouts is most helpful when there are multiple users of the treadmill machine. Select treadmills have the ability to store workout history. If you're interested in documenting and referencing previous workout sessions so that you can keep track of fitness progress made, choose one of these.<br /> <br /> iFit Live technology is a advanced treadmill feature that gives you hundreds of virtual courses reproducing those at the live destinations. For example, athletes can train from home for a marathon being held in another city. See how well you compare against others on certain race courses with iFit Compete Live. Any treadmill machine that has Internet connectivity and is compatible with the iFit Live technology can run this multipurpose feature. Advanced treadmills also have full-color LCD touch screens and a music player to keep your rhythm going when you exercise.<br /> <br /> Parts of a Treadmill<br /> <br /> A treadmill trainer consists of a wide conveyor belt controlled by an electric motor or flywheel of varying power. The belt moves over rollers, which accommodate to whatever speed setting you've fixed in the treadmill's electronics. The running deck fits with the treadmill machine belt and rollers to support and move you through. Select treadmills have running decks that can be elevated, providing different inclines to work out on. Mix up your exercises and never be bored with another workout session.<br /> <br /> Almost all running decks are mounted on damping materials to make the treadmill trainer shock-absorbent. Decks are furnished with a cushioned belt to lessen impact on the feet, but usually the level of cushioning can be adjusted. The components just described all work in conjunction in giving you varying workout experiences.<br /> <br /> Yet another good thing to note about a treadmill's design: some have foldable decks and others have non-foldable decks. The foldable variety be more effective for home gyms where space is limited. The running deck can be folded up to meet the treadmill machine arms. Foldable treadmills tend to cost more than non-foldable ones. You'll find that non-foldable treadmills are more commonplace as they are less costly and more long-lasting in construction.<br /> <br /> Assortment of Treadmill Systems<br /> <br /> It's important to look at a treadmill's feature set, but take note to the treadmill's design and intended user type. A treadmill machine engineered only for walking will cost less than a jogger's treadmill; a running treadmill trainer will be the most expensive. More body weight causes more impact and wear on the treadmill trainer; it needs a more robust motor to support heavy users and thus comes at a higher price. Taller users need a treadmill with a longer tread belt that can easily accommodate their long strides. The more often a treadmill machine is used, the more important it is to get a reliable and durable machine. Any workout system you get is an investment into your health. Take some time to do your research and read some <a href="http://www.fitnessexercise.mynetworksolutions.com/">exercise treadmill reviews</a> and see what people are raving about.<br /> <br /> Take Away<br /> <br /> There are various techniques that exercising helps improve your health and your fitness. A fitness treadmill at home can help you attain these benefits. Take some time to think about what your health and fitness needs are. Also, measure the space available at home to place the treadmill and think about the type of users and designed usage. Be sure you take into account the prices of different treadmill trainer models. You can get carried away and pick something that's beyond your price range.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'><a href="http://workoutwarrior.hpage.com/">Treadmill review sites</a> are useful places to get more details. Look into some and see what folks are raving about and what products are best-selling.</div><br /> </div><br />

Is Diet More Important Than Exercising?

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Howe Russ</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>You have probably heard people in gyms around the world asking the question is diet more important than exercise so today we are going to help you get to the bottom of this popular issue.<br /> <br /> Depending upon who you ask and their own fitness background, it's highly likely that you will get a different answer every time you pose this question to somebody. Ultimately, many of us base our decision purely off our own experiences and opinions. For instance, everybody has a friend who is always trying to latest celebrity diet plan. That friend will probably put huge faith in their eating plan being the most important factor because it's what they know.<br /> <br /> Likewise, however, those with a long background of exercise under their belts will be much more likely to advise you that you need to concentrate more on the fitness aspect of your lifestyle. Many people even go as far as to advise that if you do this effectively, you can pretty much eat whatever you want. So who is correct?<br /> <br /> Neither approach is correct if you are trying to achieve your best possible physique.<br /> <br /> Rather than see the potential benefits of both areas, people tend to place a priority on one over the other. This ends up leading them down a path towards failure, of course. For instance, if you ever hear somebody telling another person that your diet makes up 80 percent of your results and exercise only accounts for the other twenty percent, try to avoid falling into the same mentality.<br /> <br /> At the end of the day you should be applying both factors if you want to see results and maintain them. If you are trying to work out how to lose weight and you only apply the rules of one principle you will tend to fall into one of two categories, both of which can be seen at most gyms and workplaces around the world:<br /> <br /> * The person who consistently follows new eating plans, often picked up from celebrity gossip magazines or New Year weight loss plans. They don't combine this with regular exercise, though, and even though they are able to drop some pounds through a healthier lifestyle they don't actually look any healthier at all. They haven't worked out, so their body is no more toned than it was three months ago.<br /> <br /> * The person who seems to live in the local gym. They are there every time you walk through the door and they are still there when you leave, yet they certainly don't work there! These people are more than happy to do endless hours of cardio or throw the weights around, but the most they look into their eating habits seems to be a protein supplement when they're finished exercising. These folks are usually equipped with fairly well defined muscles in their shoulders, arms and chest but pair it with a pot belly or undefined, flabby abdominal muscles.<br /> <br /> The fact of the matter is that common sense must prevail if you are to get anywhere. If you are interested in dropping unwanted pounds and actually maintaining the results you should be avoiding falling into one of the two popular stereotypes shown above.<br /> <br /> It's almost like trying to decide whether fuel is more important than your car. At the end of the day, neither is very useful on their own. The correct approach is to apply both factors to your lifestyle and realize that neither is more important than the other. They are not in competition for your attention, they are two things which are designed to work together. If you are able to apply the basic principles of a good nutritional plan and a healthy workout program you will see positive change and the results will be sustainable, too. <br /> <br /> In a recent interview, former bodybuilding champion Jay Cutler was asked the question is diet more important than exercise and his answer perfectly summed up the correct approach. Whether you are trying to discover how to lose weight or get bigger, ultimately it's 100 percent diet and it's 100 percent exercise.<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>About the author: Find out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oGRMaqPfdk">how to lose weight</a> with the UK's most watched Fitness Instructor Russ Howe PTI for free.
