- A mixture between handball and basketball, korfball is a fast, exciting game The main difference is that men and women play on the same team It's also a great way to keep fit! The game began in the Netherlands about

100 years ago, and there are now korfball clubs in more than forty countries around the world There are eight players on each team - four male and four female - and each player tries to throw the ball (similar to a soccer ball) into the 'goal' which is a bit like a basket but bigger You can't touch your opponent, kick or run with the ball, and men can only attack against men and women can only defend against women A game lasts for sixty minutes and the teams change ends after every two goals

- Most people do not see playing video games as a way of keeping fit You sit on the floor, or on the sofa, you look at the screen … and the only part of your body that moves is your thumb But that’s all changing … Thanks to a brand-new game from Japan called Dance Dance Revolution, gamers are now getting onto the exercise floor

In this case, the floor is a grid of nine squares You put one foot in the centre and move your other foot in time to the dance music that gets faster and faster as you go through the levels ‘Most gamers just want to go to a fantasy world when they play a video game, but why not have games which are physical as well?’ says one DDR fan

- For many people, German-born supermodel Claudia Schiffer is the perfect beauty: tall and slim, blue-eyed, tanned and athletic- looking with long, blond hair No wonder people have described her as ‘The most beautiful woman in the world’ But people have not always had the same ideas about beauty Until the 1920s, suntans were for poor people, ‘ladies' stayed out of the sun to keep their faces as pale as possible Five hundred years ago, in the times of Queen Elizabeth I of England, fashionable ladies even painted their faces with lead to make them whiter - a very dangerous habit as lead is poisonous!
