Want to Live Longer? Start Jogging

Danish researchers have found that jogging at least an hour a week will help you live longer.

Jogging was associated with a 44 percent reduction in the relative risk of death over 35 years compared with deaths among non-joggers, according to Dr. Peter Schnohr, chief cardiologist from the Copenhagen City Heart study.

And the benefit was observed for both men and women.

That reduction translated into an "age-adjusted survival benefit of 6.2 years in men and 5.6 years in women," Schnohr reported here at EuroPRevent 2012.

"The results of our research allow us to definitively answer the question of whether jogging is good for your health," Schnohr said in a prepared statement. "We can say with certainty that regular jogging increases longevity. The good news is that you don't actually need to do that much to reap the benefits."

Moreover, the optimum benefit was realized for those who jogged at a slow-to-average pace between an hour and two and half hours done in two to three sessions over the course of a week.

Donald Driver Hopes This Week's DWTS is an 'Instant Classic'

That would mean this week is Classical Music Week on Dancing With the Stars and it's an important week for the remaining dancers.

Donald Driver and Peta will have their work cut out for them as the other teams are showing improvement.

It's the stretch run, call it the 4th quarter for a football player like DD, so he knows he needs to be mistake-free while raising the bar on their routines.

The man usually does a lot of the leading during Classical Music Week, so Donald needs to be right on the mark.

I think he's getting better and better even though his scores are all over the board.

Donald Driver Dances the Fox Trot

Motown Night was great and so were Donald and Peta.

They danced the always difficult Fox Trot and once again he nailed it.

More positive comments from the judges.

He should be primed and ready for next week.  Results tonight.

Driver to Paso on 'Rock Week'

It's "Rock Week" and Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd say they're ready to tear it up when they do the paso doble.

Literally meaning "double step" in Spanish, the lively dance is modeled after the sound, feel, and movement of a Spanish bullfight.  Driver should excel in this dance.

The duo finished last week in the upper half of the leaderboard and have improved their scores each week.

Monday's "Dancing with the Stars" airs at 8 P.M. Eastern on ABC.

DWTS: Martina's Foot Faults and Driver's Quicksteps

We had to wait until the last 30 minutes of the show to see how Martina and Donald would fare this week.

After a tough week of practice, where Martina aggravated an old tennis injury, she took to the floor with Tony Dovolani for a jive.

After a slow start, the former world No. 1 loosened up a bit.  She hit some of her moves and they even played up the judges a little.

The judges were as nice as they could've been to the tennis legend, but she did misd some steps and was mechanical with her turns.  

Martina gets a 17 and it's not looking good for the 20-time Wimbledon champ.

Following Martina it's Donald Driver and Peta.  They get a quickstep, and this dance should be perfect for a fleet-footed wide receiver.  Or is it?

Peta worked Driver like it was training camp.  It paid off as Driver was able to show off his nimble feet.  A tough routine and he nailed it.  

Len thought it was great and said he underscored "DD" last week.  The fans loved it and Packers fans around the world I'm sure are voting.

Driver gets a 24.  Touchdown!
