As Autumn falls, the days grow darker. More time for the With A Shout team under the lights. The sources we scour for news and information grow by the day. We are expanding the team based on the number of news sources we like to go through to pull out the best 5 to 10 minutes of updates for you!

The only way a bunch of readers and writers of news, Music, and all things running on high energy can keep up the power is with a passion for fitness. It’s not a job requirement, but all the like minds at W.A.S. have this passion. We have all experienced the ups and downs of fitness training, injury, and the inevitable age fight. Today we found something interesting, leading to a discussion in the office about what we should be counting.

In a write-up from M.I.T. Technology Review, they discuss what happens to the weight we lose. That was interesting enough, you might think evaporation or secretion, and you wouldn’t be wrong. Most of the loss comes from your lungs in the form of carbon dioxide when you exhale. This led to more online research, and we found an article from the National Institute of Health (N.I.H.) that the average number of breaths a person at rest takes is 15. The average number of breaths for someone exercising is 50, or an increase of 200% per minute.

For the fitness conscious, it’s surprising this hasn’t been publicized more. Burn more calories than you take in, but sweat, and breath, not so much. Work also goes to time in a hot sauna, and there are even gyms that promote a better workout in a hot environment to produce more sweat. Hotworx is one of those gyms, and its website states that activities are virtually instructed and completed in an infrared sauna. The benefit is the isometric workout and the increased sweat that removes toxins while you work out.

The benefits of saunas and sweat have been debated in the past; if weight and fat loss are removed from the body through peeing, work, and exhaling, it would seem that a good sauna could help.

Axios reminded us today that the Fair Labor Standards Act or Wages and Hours Act went into law on October 24th, 1938. This law established a minimum wage of 25 cents, and overtime began after 44 hours per week in your first year, 42 hours per week in your second year, and 40 hours per week every year after.

We haven’t decided how happy we are about that yet ;-) Our office likes Tim Farris 4 Hour Work Week better.

Interesting facts (or fiction) about some of our favorite rock bands!

Young and his sister created Angus Young’s schoolboy uniform, who also tried a Superman and a Spiderman costume before going with a schoolboy. This sister also named the band after seeing AC/DC on a sewing machine.

Would you believe that Eddie Van Halen didn’t own an acoustic guitar in 1979? According to Nancy Heart, he did not, and she gifted one of her own. Eddie was so grateful he stayed up all night and wrote Nancy a song.

The only other group of people Liam and Noel Gallagher fought with more than themselves was another English alternative rock band, Blur. We decided Song 2 wins!
