Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace o Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny As the chickens come home to roast... Unbelievable we have been this stupid. ( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...
Great day at the gym today improving neuromuscular control a day at a time, increasing fitness, strength, and power at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSuper seeing people taking their health and fitness into their own hands. Makes a certified personal trainer smile. First Lady Michelle Obama would be pleased as well I'm sure. High fives for e championing health and fitness.
And the best part? Being away from the BS world of political blogging that the right and left have succeeded in make a perpetual zoo of. Intellectual thought and arguments are impossible as everyone likes their paradigm box.
But enough of that. This weblog is likely to transition into a health and fitness blog over the next few months.
Be fit, exercise, improve your quality of lie, AND, Lift Hard; Die Strong
Until next time... Be Well!
I studied the photo, but failed to lose any weight!
ReplyDeleteWe'll yeah, a necessary ingredient is to take that first step. Get up from the couch and get moving. Recommended - 150 minutes per week of light to moderate cardio activity. A reasonable goal is 1to 2 lbs/week. Diet is equally important.
DeleteSunday morning in the Bay State and looking like another significant volume of snow on the way.
ReplyDeleteTaking advantage of a later afternoon start gives opportunity to get to the gym for a good workout. So following a good healthy breakfast with complex carbs and protein it's clean the car off from last nights snowfall and head to workout heaven.
Remember folks; The Hardest Lift is Lifting Your Ass Off the Couch.
Eat healthy, Exercise, Lift hard, Die strong!
Fitness, Strength, and Power...
Until next time.
Strength training can be risky and unhealthy and is certainly not for everyone. "Lift hard" is in general bad advice. I am fit and I am very strong not because I power lift, but because I get a lot of exercise, and I eat right.
ReplyDeleteJMJ
Jersey, Lift hard is a relative term. I am a National Academy of Sport Medicine Certified Personal Trainer and one can "lift hard" using resistance that is relatively light to moderate.
ReplyDeleteCardio, 150 minutes per week of light to moderate is also important. You are right eating healthy is important as I indicated as well.
The human body is built and designed for movement and activity. There is a principle in e exercise science called SAID, it stands for specific adaptation to imposed demand. In other words the body, over time, will adapt to the demands an individual places on it.
It is a fact that muscles under a proper training program can experience hypertrophy into their nineties if diet and sleep are optimal and there exists no contraindications to e xcercise.
Of UTMOST importance is an individual consults with their doctor secures a clean bill of health and medical clearance before beginning training. Further no CPT worth theur salt will train a person OF ANY AGE without a medical clearance from their doctor.
If an individual is healthy, secures their doctors medical clearance for exercise abd training, follows a well defined and safe training protocol the only limitations are th poo se they place on themselves.
Where there exists certain contraindications a CPT will design o organs with that knowledge in mind.
My idea of a good workout is to focus on the toy box under the veranda.
ReplyDeleteIf this is the 'Ask the CPT corner, I have a question regarding fitness and the vegans . Of the few I know, most
ReplyDeleteare sort of pasty and thin, and take vitamins to replace the various animal food sources. A couple
are into exercise and drink all sorts of concoctions, including some (IMO questionable) unregulated
health food store stuff. Have you had any experience with these types of folks?
For vegans it is very important they eat ample amounts of vegetable proteins, legumes (beans) are a very good source of high quality protein. Vegans should also consider supplementing with a high quality natural Whey protein.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to make your own vegetable greens (fresh raw kale, spinach), fuits, nuts (also a good protein source), and almond milk. There are recipe books with many healthful and delightfully good tasting smoothies.
Key to health food stores is finding a reputable vendor with knowledgeable employees. I personally stay as far away from GNC as possible.
Protien is important to muscle repair and an active body builder or power lifter should be consuming a gram to a gram and 1/2 per pound of body weight. Many consume more during bulking phases of training.
Well (O) CT (O) PUS without knowing what is in the toy box under the veranda I can't comment on the effectiveness of your workout.
ReplyDeleteBut remember;.150 minutes of light to moderate cardio excercise per week is recommended by the AHA.
Lots of chicks at the gymn.
ReplyDeleteYeah Will. From 18 to 70'ish.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm there to work hard.
