Question by need to lose weight: How do i connect a snakebyte fitness board to a Wii?
I have bought my kids a snakebyte fitness board and I have followed all the instructions and cannot sync the fitness board to my Wii. Can anybody please help me?

Best answer:

Answer by John (PsychoSeraph)
A lot of people have a tough time syncing their balance boards. Here are some syncing tips:
-be sure the batteries in your balance board are NEW.
-make sure the Wii Fit disc is in the Wii console and don’t try to sync the balance board until prompted.
-hold the balance board VERY CLOSE to the Wii console while they are trying to sync. In fact, have it almost touching the Wii, just to be sure.
-here are some more tips/troubleshooting help:

Are county health and human social services primarily only for women, children and the elderly?

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

Question by doggy_dog_gone: Are county health and human social services primarily only for women, children and the elderly?
I am working class and couldn’t afford mental health services for counseling on my own. I called county social services but unless I was a police code 5150, there didn’t seem to be any social services counseling. Instead the primary chunk of social services seemed geared only towards mothers with children, children themselves, the chronically homeless, addicts, or the elderly.

Is it a mistake for childless adult males, who aren’t suicidal but need mental health counseling, to seek county services?

Best answer:

Answer by curlyQ
Counties do have social services for all residents, but they do gear towards those with less help available. Mothers with children and elderly are typically at the top of that list.

That said, counties do still provide counseling to all residents – the cost is on a scale. You may not be a top priority to the county you live in, but your emotional health is important to them. It is a win/win situation when people feel good.

Call the human services office in your county and ask for an appointment with a counselor. Chances are that won’t be able to see you for a week or so. People employed within the county are guaranteed fast appointments, which probably affects the time others wait (as well as holidays). Once you’re seen initially, appointments then become regular.

Hope that helps. Take care!

Question by : What health/fitness benefits will I gain from standing up for about 7 hours a day at work?
I’m a hairdresser and I stand up all day. I’m usually quite tired when I get home, so i’m thinking this must burn a few calories in itself? I also walk everywhere and I plan on joining a gym, but I was curious as to what this could do by itself.

I’m looking to become a certified fitness instructor (group fitness/aerobics/steb/kickboxing). I know a few people who have gone different routes for their certification and wondered if anyone knew which company/association was the best to go through.
