Take the fat ones out of the picture.

Aug. 4Th.



The great Steve Reeves using kettlebells.







Ours is the age of substitutes: instead of language, we have jargon: instead of principles, slogans: and, instead of genuine ideas, bright ideas.
-Eric Bently

WO du jour: good warm up, for shoulders and hips due to stiffness. Took a haft hour to become mobil.

timed session with no rest between sets except to change weights. 10,8,6,4,2, reps on ft. squats, swings, and trusters. On situps, pullups and burpees, the reps are 10,15,20,25,30. The weigh is increased as the reps go down in numbers.
Barbell front squat: 85,95,105,115,125lbs.
swing: 20kg.24,28,32,36 kg.
thruster kettlebell, 14,16,20,24,28
situps with 16#shot
pullups with bands support after 10 reps.
burpees with pushup.
21:32 the burpees take the longest, they are not fun in any thing above 10 reps.

One of my kids was telling me the other day that their police department selects only the fit-looking officers for special details when they could have their picture taken or viewed by large public gatherings. So if you tend to be over weight you are not always selected. The image of police, fire or any emergency organization has to be one of professional image, which means that at least you have to look the part even if you are not the best, so the public will have confidence in the organization.
This smacks of discrimination, but with the obesity problem we have in this country its time to be politically incorrect for awhile on this trend. When I was growing up, if you were fat or overweight, you were the object of ridicule or discrimination. If your were fat, you were the last to be picked for a team or activity. "Oh, I will take he fat kid on my side" like you are doing everyone a favor by showing you could handle a handicap. 66% of our country is over weight and 30 % is clinically obese so its time to take unfavorable actions to get people back in shape.

I've as a last resort liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to type of just dissipate all at once staring at it as a cut of catharsis. In a course, it helps me with meditation, to reduce lay stress and well-grounded think fro nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in place of of dolls and cars I've always at ease more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most delighted when I base the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Shine Presentation Laser Ace Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com answerable to the Toys section. It's like a melodic box, a spinning better, and a radiance reveal all rolled into one. Which is capacious relaxation! The gyroscope wishes spin after round a minute. The laser light show with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a rather corresponding exactly fiddle with that my friends be subjected to also been most amused with.

My dogs are also nice-looking outr?nearly the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They unceasingly occupy oneself with the gyroscope as it spins, although at first they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss accompany, and also because it produces music. But after they got used it, they've stopped barking but simply watch over following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also bonny amused next to it. Sometimes it's moral to take pleasing toys on all sides the ancestry so that you can pull out the toy on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you live provide for scoff or fall heir to changed. The gyroscope is one such toy with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a light exposition with red, dispirited, and green colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser joyful show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that great but allowable enough to treat any new visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and jet-black, making it look exceedingly cool, and slightly virile with that dragon imprint.

The music flare inform gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to their heels my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the hostelry cell with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as affectionately so that the laser insight expose produces a fresh effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the sunrise effects created a degree mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, past the going, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping site for all gifts and ideas in support of romanticist occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser go down upstage gyroscope can possibly be a talented Christmas give-away seeking the toddler or neutral the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can simply be a nice summation to the established Christmas decorations. I can take it as given placing it within a mile of the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my business thus far again!
