Of course coffee has a lot, but how much more than an espresso? How about a chocolate bar?  They got a lot of their information from an article at the Mayo Clinic.

Recently we bought a fitness ball so I wanted to see what exercises could be done using this tool. The Washington Post had a Live Online chat that discussed it, and provided a link to a set of exercises (with descriptions) posted at the Mayo Clinic. Pretty useful.
