    Hey there HubMobsters! smile

    Before I even get started on this post, I feel like I should let everyone who is reading this know exactly how awesome it was to see all of us Hubbers come together for last week's HubMob, which was the first one that we have ever had here on HubPages. We had 30+ Hubbers publish a Hub that was based on the HubMob topic of hair and honestly it blew me away to see how many different and interesting Hubs were created and how different each individual one was.

    Also, the fact that so many of the published Hubs have already been given a spot on the first page of Google is so freakin' cool and it shows that when you make really good and informative content, HubPages can get it out there on the web so it's found by Google, Yahoo!, etc. If you want any more information about last week's HubMob, head on over to this Forum topic and take a read: http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/7609

    Now, on to this week's HubMob topic which is Fitness, diets, staying in shape and losing weight: Tips for becoming a healthier person. I picked this topic because I feel that whether you work out, diet, eat a certain way, take vitamins or just sit on the couch - everyone seems to have an opinion when it comes to becoming a healthier person. It's also true that nearly everyone would like to become a healthier person somehow, someway, but not everyone knows exactly how to do that. This week's going to dig deep into this topic of becoming healthier and I encourage you all to put your own spin on it just like last week's topic.

    For example, if you believe in taking vitamins, then write about that. If you are an active outdoors-type person and you think that's the key to staying healthy, then write about that. Also, if you think that staying healthy is simply not stressing yourself worrying about all of these diets, fitness routines, etc., then write about that - it's all up to you on how you want to translate this topic into a Hub.

    To join this week's HubMob, please follow the steps below:

    1. Come up with an amazing idea to write your Hub on that has something to do with the topic of 'Fitness, diets, staying in shape and losing weight: Tips for becoming a healthier person'. Make the topic your own and feel free to have fun with it, research it or wing it. It's up to you on how you write your HubMob Hub.

    2. After you come up with your topic idea, click this link and answer the Request that I entered in for all of you HubMobsters. Feel free to use the tags that I suggested or add a few of your own.

    3. Write a an awesomely comprehensive Hub that completely covers your topic idea. Be sure to add an RSS Capsule that includes the RSS feed to the rest of this week's HubMob entries (Link: http://hubpages.com/request/6966/best?new&rss) and also add one of the HubMob images below to your Hub so that everyone who reads it will know that it is part of the official HubMob topic of the week.

    4. After you publish your HubMob Hub, reply in this Forum thread with a brief description of what topic idea you wrote about, why you chose it and a link to your newly published contribution to the HubMob. I mean, we all want to see, too!

    5. Keep track of your Hub and keep us updated on any traffic that you're getting and post some screenshots if you end up HubMobbing a few search keyword over on Google.

    Yep, that's about it - have fun writing your HubMob Hub this week and please let us all know if you have any questions. Have fun, you crazy HubMobsters. smile

    I just want to say thank you for this hubmob thing.  I'm a creative writer and, frankly, I come to hubpages for a break, if that makes sense.  As joyous and awesome as it is to try to channel the muses, sometimes its nice to just have someone point your writer's mind at a target.  No groping in the dark for subject matter, no wrestling with the maybes of this idea or that.  Just, splat: write on this.  I enjoy writing research stuff a ton, but, it's so hard to "assign" yourself a topic.  This hubmob thing solves that beautifully.  (I'm getting great search engine traffic off my last one, and it was so much fun to research and to write.)

    Truly it's an absolute gift to have hard boundaries, despite how much room there is within them.  This hubmob thing is an awesome idea and I truly believe it helps everyone involved: Google, Hubpages and us.  Nice work, guys, seriously.

    Ryan, you may be the first person to ever refer to one of my hubs as "Really good and informative." In fact, I'm not sure they have even been called "Content" in the past. This was great fun, though.

    Here it is then. A hub on obesity and overweight. What is it, how bad is it (in numbers and risks) and what can you do.

    And I agree with Zsuzsy Bee in agreeing with BT and Shadesbreath smile

    Awesome! I can't wait to see what you come up with...I'm a BIG believer in working out to stay in shape, so I think that I'm going to write a Hub on 'The Benefits Of Working Up A Good Sweat Everyday', or something like that. I'm kind of excited to research it actually. smile

    You mean, we actually made you work a little bit this time? Oh no! smile

    Also, if someone doesn't wrote about the health benefits of sex, I'm going to be one very, very disseminated Hubber.

    Another good one would be 'Fad Diets And Why You Should Stay Away From Them'...fad diets are crazy. My mom gets into these things and it drives me crazy.

    Obviously you didn't see this part, which I guess applies to you:

    I picked this topic because I feel that whether you work out, diet, eat a certain way, take vitamins or just sit on the couch - everyone seems to have an opinion when it comes to becoming a healthier person.

    Anyways, I bet that you get a pretty good workout DJing and I KNOW that the people dancing to your funkdafied tunes are getting an amazing workout on the dance floor.

    That's what you should write about - something like 'How Dancing Can Become An Incredible Workout' or even the health benefits of dancing.

    Also, you don't need to add the 'HubMob Weekly' into the titles of your HubMob Hubs, just make up your own, more search-friendly title that applies to the topic idea that you come up with.

    This is very true.  Some people eat right, exercise 24/7, but have heart attacks, while others eat all the junk food they please, smoke, drink to excess and have very minor complications.  Those are usually exceptions to the rule, but I feel everything is in moderation.  If you exercise by walking more and driving less I think that is a good start.  If you forgo dessert a few days a week and opt for fruit instead, etc.

    Well, SweetiePie - it sounds like you definitely has an opinion on the subject. smile
