Freedom New Mexico: Karl Terry Robert Elliott, a former Cannon Air Force Base airman, was hired in June as the director for ENMU's aviation science program.
Robert Elliott doubts that he'll ever meet his students in person.
With his computer serving as a virtual classroom, Elliott will teach
online courses in aviation science from Eastern New Mexico University's
Roswell campus. His students are located in across the country and in
South America and Africa.
The former Cannon Air Force Base airman was hired in June as the
director for ENMU's aviation science program, which was created last
year. The program offers bachelor's degrees in aviation science,
according to the program's Web site.
"ENMU-Roswell, which is our branch campus down there of about 4,000
students, has a very strong two-year program in aviation," said Steven
Gamble, ENMU president. "What we are offering is the next two years
after they get their associate degree that would allow them to get
their bachelor's degree."
Gamble said the university will also try to offer the program to airmen attending the Community College of the Air Force.
Elliott retired from the Air Force in 2004 with the rank of senior
master sergeant. He spent the final 12 years of his 25-year military
career at Cannon.
He said in his last position at Cannon as chief wing inspector his
responsibility was to make sure all units were ready to respond to
He pursued a career in education after leaving the Air Force and was
an academic advisor at Wayland Baptist University before he was hired
by ENMU. He hopes to earn a doctorate degree in higher education from
Texas Tech in December.
He received his associate degree in aircraft maintenance technology from the College of the Air Force.
According to the program's Web site, all of the courses, which
include Federal Aviation Administration regulations, aviation
management and information management, are taught online.
Elliott said he will use distance education software that allows him to interact with his students in real time.
"That's what I'm really looking forward to, in an online
environment, is having that additional face-to-face, synchronous
contact with the students because that does make a huge difference,"
said Ellliott, a Dayton, Ohio, native. "One of our barriers, though,
that we have to try to knock down the wall on, is that fact that we're
going to have students in significantly different time zones."

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

- Abstract
- Individuals who are involved with the death of a person with a terminal illness will often classify the death as either 'good' or 'bad'. Families and healthcare practitioners assess many factors when determining their 'success' or 'failure' in assisting someone in the terminal phase. Palliative care nurses are particularly vulnerable to self-assessments about care of the dying, because death is a daily occurrence. Feelings of failure, unmet expectations and feeling of regret about not being able to prevent a traumatic death may be a source of stress for palliative care nurse and may affect their abilities to function effectively. This article reports the findings of a study involving interviews with 20 palliative care nurses to determine their perceptions of a good and bad death. The study also examined the expectations they hold of themselves and that they believe others hold of them in helping patients to attain a good death. Clinical implications are discussed based on these findings.

So can you use breakbeats in Fruity Loops? I don't know anything about how Fruity Loops works so please forgive me but that may be an alternative to your drum situation.
Yeah I Can
But I Don't Have Any
Except The Corny Ones That Come With FL Studio
I Sort of Just Started Fucking With It
So They Have a Pack of Drums Called Realistic and They Are the Nicest Sounding Ones
I Used Them For Every Beat I've Made
And I Just Sequence Them In the Step Sequencer
But Thats What Makes Them Sound Shitty
They Are Too Mechanical I Think
And FL Lets You Put a Swing On the Sequence That Makes it Sound a LITTLE More Natural
But I Want Some Mean Drum Packs
Some Shit With Random Hits Like Trash Cans and Polls And Shit
I'ma Have to Start Searching the Torrent Sites

Asthma TriggersSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
An asthma trigger is a factor that can lead to sudden difficulty breathing or other symptoms of asthma ( asthma attack ).
Some triggers are substances a person may be allergic to ( allergens ). Allergens cause the body's natural defenses ( immune system ) to produce chemicals called immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. These chemicals bind to allergens, causing inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to the lungs. The allergen may also cause asthma attacks. These triggers include:
- Pollen.
- Dust mites .
- Animal dander .
- Cockroach droppings.
- Mold.
Other triggers can cause asthma symptoms without affecting the body's immune system. These include:
- Cigarette smoke and air pollution.
- Viral infections, such as colds and influenza , and sinus and other upper respiratory infections .
- Exercise. Many people with asthma have symptoms when they exercise.
- Dry, cold air.
- Medicines, such as aspirin or beta-blockers.
- In adults, hormones, including those involved in pregnancy and menstrual periods (just before or during periods).
- Gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) . Some experts debate whether GERD makes asthma worse. Studies have shown conflicting results as to whether GERD triggers asthma. footnote 1

The best gyms in London
Discover the best fitness centres across the whole of the capital
From state-of-the-art gyms with heavenly swimming pools to local, dynamic dance studios, we round up the best places to get fit in the capital. So no more excuses, London: it's time to get in shape.
Best gyms in central London
Central YMCA
A perennial favourite with those working in the West End due to low membership rates, a fully equipped Pilates studio, large cardio theatre and up-to-date resistance training equipment. It isn't glamorous but that's not the point here; Central YMCA provides every possible type of workout and activity from boxing to bellydancing, taught to a very high standard (YMCA Fitness Industry Training is an industry leader and many of its graduates instruct here). A good 25-metre pool is divided for lane swimming; there's also a chapel, therapies and a decent café to boot.Read more
This centrally located gym offers some of London's wittiest workouts from its 'Tour de Holborn' spinning class to the 80s-flavoured 'Voga' class. Located underneath High Holborn, this compact space combines the atmosphere of a nightclub with state-of-the-art facilities. A full-size boxing ring dominates the main space, along with a large movie screen. There's also an impressive free weights area, spinning studio and two exercise studios. While the boxing theme might suggest a macho environment, more than 50 per cent of members are women. A newer branch in Covent Garden (at 42-49 St Martins Lane, WC2) boasts a vast studio and Olympic-sized boxing ring. Further branches in Bank, Farringdon and Westfield London.Read more
It's easy to see why City types love Speedflex. The gym is plush and expensive-feeling (think marble fittings in changing rooms), and its workouts brutal and efficient. Less than ten minutes in, you can expect a face redder than a baboon's bottom. The workout room is dominated by seven intimidating machines which calculate resistance based on your own force. The point is high intensity training without next-day soreness. Speedflex is about leanness rather than muscle building, so you won't end up with Madonna's arms.Read more
Jubilee Hall Sports Centre
Affordable membership and an unpretentious community atmosphere means this London stalwart attracts a healthy mix of people from well-honed blokes bulking up to more average-shaped folk who just want to keep fit. There's no pool but there is a huge open gym and exercise studios which more than make up for the absence of dipping facilities. A variety of classes are offered, including hatha yoga, burlesque and flamenco. The cardio and weights machines are hi-tech, and the café has wi-fi access.Read more
Aegis Training Ltd
Founder Greg Smith and partner Zack Cahill have put together a high-calibre team of specialist trainers and therapists. Their 3,000 sq ft gym near Liverpool Street station offers ample workout space, plus rooms for a range of treatments. There's no joining fee; you simply pay for as many sessions as you want. Aegis also provides one-one-one, semi-private and bootcamp training.Read more
The Third Space
Spread across four levels and connected by open steel staircases, the club's facilities include a skylit climbing wall, boxing ring and even a table tennis table set on a glass floor above the pool. The gym is kitted out with the latest cardio and free weights equipment, and those about to compete at high altitude can prepare by working out in a hypoxic chamber with reduced levels of oxygen to simulate conditions at 8,500 feet. There is also a Pilates and Gyrotonic studio and 130 free classes every week as well as a gym kit laundry service, wi-fi access, integrated medical centre offering complementary therapies and a live DJ. The Third Space has a second gym in Marylebone, which opened in 2011 and offers reciprocal access for members.Read more
The Place
A beautiful glass-fronted building, The Place lifts an otherwise barren spot just off Euston Road. Inside you'll find a clean modern space catering for both dance students (as young as five) and visitors to the excellent Robin Howard Dance Theatre. The large studio has 300 seats raked to a stage 15m by 12m and affording a truly electrifying visual experience. It's the perfect host to the annual 'Resolution!' season that acts as a platform for fresh contemporary choreography. Founded in 1990, 'Resolution!' is a must for those looking for genuinely emerging dance talent, though any night at The Place is a safe bet, as the venue prides itself on being a leader in modern and inventive physical performance. There are also classes and courses for adults and children of all standards in ballet and contemporary techniques.Read more
Since 1982, Danceworks has offered Europe's largest selection of classes in six well-appointed studios. You can choose from more than 160 dance, fitness, martial arts and yoga workouts each week. New trends include belly dance, poledancing and singing classes.Read more
Pineapple Dance Studios
Debbie Moore named her studio after the pineapple warehouse in which her studio was founded in 1979. It still retains its 'Fame'-era charm and there are more than 30 dance classes each day.Read more
Barry's Bootcamp
If Baywatch were a gym, this LA import would be it. Barry's Bootcamp became famous a few years ago for helping to cultivate the infamous size zero physiques of Hollywood starlets. Take a class at the Euston branch, and you can see how the weight fell off. Or, rather, how the weight was sweated, dumbell-lifted and sprinted into oblivion. A class at Barry's sweat dungeon - a basement gym with just one room, fitted out with a long run of state-of-the-art treadmills and lit like the Ministry of Sound - is said to expend 1000 calories.Read more

It's not every day you get the chance to train with a genuine Shaolin, but Shi Yanzi is a thirty-fourth generation fighting monk sent by the Abbot of the Shaolin Temple in China's Henan province to spread the word in the UK. Archway is where he pitched up, running a busy programme of kung fu, tai chi and sanshou (Chinese kickboxing) classes for all ages and standards – plus, for those wanting to learn more about the culture, occasional workshops in Mandarin, calligraphy and Buddhism. The Temple also has an offshoot in Lewisham.Read more

An old cinema has been converted into a three-tier temple to fitness which houses a raft of excellent facilities.

Although almost entirely underground, this fitness club on the banks of the Thames has such great facilities that you can easily forgive the lack of riverside views. Five studios offer classes ranging from yoga to circuit training, a boxing ring and a state-of-the-art gym with TRX suspension training equipment. There's also a spa offering treatments, a steam room, sauna and solarium. In addition, the club caters to the corporate market with classes and treatments aimed at the time-poor (do a 22-minute exercise class at lunch) and lucrative company rates. There's another branch in Kensington's Olympia.Read more
The Gym Stockwell
If you're looking for luxurious extras, this isn't your place – The Gym has no pool, spa or holistic juice bar. What it does offer, however, is 24-hour access to excellent fitness equipment at rock-bottom prices (one-day membership is £5; monthly membership comes in at just under £20, no contract required). The modern basement space is accessed via a personal pincode and a futuristic space pod entry system, and it can get busy at times (the weights section is regularly taken over by men apparently competing for strongest man of the year). That said, there are perks aplenty – including a range of free classes, from circuit training to boot camp. The Gym has several other branches across London, some of which have monthly memberships starting at a mere £12.99.Read more

Westway Sports & Fitness Centre
The main attraction here is Britain's largest climbing centre, which extends up inside the White City roundabout. However, Westway is also home to eight indoor tennis courts plus London's only public clay courts, while the eight artificial football pitches are heavily used. If you fancy something different try Eton Fives, an arcane game played on a three-walled court (there are four here, again the only ones in London), in which you strike a small ball with gloved hands. The courts have various hazards and the unpredictable bounce demands quick reactions. Members get access to both sport and fitness facilities, with over 50 classes and activities available.Read more
The Life Centre
This is one of London's original yoga centres, having occupied a former church on a quiet street near Notting Hill Gate for more than 20 years.

Congenial owner Don McDuff and his team also sell supplements and technical workout clothing from the gym's shop, and you can also book physio, personal training and sports nutrition services.Read more
Seymour Leisure Centre
The main hall at Seymour used to house one of the most attractive swimming pools in London which measured, bizarrely, 44 yards. Now a floor seems destined to cover it permanently, giving over the space to racquet sports and five-a-side football. Swimmers are still catered for in a bright but narrow 30-metre pool that's also used for sub-aqua. There's a large gym here, an extensive programme of classes, a physio practice and a beauty salon in the basement. Good value considering its location.Read more
I just started the pay-as-u-go program with the guys from http://www.payasugym.com/ and I am pretty happy with it. I really don´t have the time to spend in one gym because I have a lot of business trips and this thing gives me the chance to save a little bit of money and stay fit. You should try this thing...
Just starting training at www.embodyfitness.com in the city if london. After 20 years of using gyms i think i have found some where that actually does what it promises. The results they deliver are the best i have ever seen in london and the personal trainers are cutting edge versus what i have paid for in the past. You need to commit on your side which i am doing and i am 4 weeks in but i already feel so much better and the results are really starting to show. I cant recommend it highly enough to anyone who really wants to make a proper change.
I'm currently studing abroad and I have my classes and internship at Piccadily and Holborn. What would be the best option for me? Also trying to save money kinda
I love to be a regular member of Reebok Sports Club, It is an amazing gym in the East London (Middle of Canary Wharf). I needed a place to have great salon treatment. I have tried a Sun undone infusion facial at the Reebok Sports Club. It is a huge gym with swimming pool, sauna, steam room and spa including all ranges of treatments from laser and pedicures to massages and facials. During my facial (of 50 minutes) my face is infused with Vitamin C and steaming, extraction, cleansing, masks and a gentle massage. I just feel so relaxed & super cool.
Afterwards, my skin looked SO AMAZING, glowing & clear! I was so impressed by their facial treatments. Simple advice gets a swim in their pool - about 20 meters long before your treatment! I had clicked amazing pictures of Reebok Sports Club - Spa!
The muscle Works Gym on Bethnal Green London is my favourite gym in London, it's a muscle factory dedicated to building every muscle in your body loosing weight and keeping you fit, the head of personal training is fitness guru Nash Jocic of NashFit training, Nash keep an eye on your work outs and also offers great advice to new students.http://muscleworksgym.com and NashFit Training can be found here : http://nashfittraining.com
Rather than just a gym, I recommend working with a professional but affordable personal trainer through CoreFit London (http://corefitlondon.co.uk/). By doing that you don't have to work up the motivation to go - they'll come to you, so you have to be ready. And you don't have to buy into an annual membership, you can buy a set of sessions and be done in a month, three months or continue it for as long, or as little, as you like! Highly recommended!
If you are looking for a super cool, state of the art gym, check out 200 Aldersgate by Virgin Active Classic. This has to be the best gym in London! Here is a review.www.rolllikeboss.com/2013/04/londons-best-gyms-work-out-like-boss.html
@Randy Totally agree- I was a member of Virgin Active Classic and found this to be one of the best clubs I'd visited, always clean and front of house and gym floor staff were excellent and always welcoming. Ladies changing room was also immaculate but OMG the ladies cleaning staff member was a right cow! Was always starting a row with someone (who would rarely fight back) and would moan and lay blame on anything left around to the nearest person to the "damage".
One woman left a towel behind and I got such a load of verbal I nearly didn't return. It would appear as though someone had a word with her at one point because there was one week where she would say something out of order then as soon as another member of staff came in would make a beeline for them and confess her actions. But it all went back to normal a few weeks after and again I was watching anything from someone being shouted at to muttering under her breath at another member. Best advice is to stick your headphones in and try to carry on regardless.
Gym floor is very clean and constantly being cleaned. Free Costa coffee and Twinnings tea, free multi-channel TV on the screens (I think about 15 or 20?) and machines. Free use of Mac computers, free charging point lockers, classrooms were a little on the chilly side but nothing a jumper wouldn't solve.
Only issue was with the toilets which would constantly flush whilst being erm, used. It would be really disconcerting to be halfway through ...something, for the toilet to suddenly flush. It was also just as disconcerting to go to leave and find the toilet had not flushed! If they could fix this and change the ladies changing room staff (or train her in customer relations) I'd give it the full 5 stars. Still the best of all the gyms I've tried for facilities though.

The Abyss, Staring Back
I enjoyed Tropic Thunder. I understand why some people boycotted seeing it and I appreciate their arguments but I also think the movie made a valid point about the treatment of the mentally retarded in popular entertainment. Maybe that's why I was a little taken aback this past week when President Obama made a Special Olympics joke on The Tonight Show. It wasn't so much that he made the joke because, let's be honest, most of us have probably made a Special Olympics joke at some point in our lives. I know I have. But as a friend once told me, "It's not really fair to make jokes at the expense of a group that can't defend itself." And it's not what I expected from this President.
But I was surprised that I experienced an eerily similar feeling yesterday when I checked in at RSBS and read:
As if facing Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic's upcoming
semifinals isn't enough pressure on the already limping USA squad…There is much more to fear… for example: Rape! Dear readers, Ted Bundy, Mike Tyson, Kobe Bryant… these guys ain't got nuthin' on the Japanese.
Now, I'm not disputing my friend and colleague's point about the horrific events that took place in Nanking. As a self-confessed sino-phile, I'm sure he is eminently qualified to talk about this tragedy. Beyond that, the historical record tells us that Japanese troops were indeed responsible for those atrocities. But to imply that the current Japanese national baseball team has any connection to that event seems like fear-mongering at best and outright xenophobia at worst.
There are legitimate reasons to fear the Japanese. The US team has been decimated by injuries. The Japanese took apart an excellent Cuban team. And Team USA's in-game management has been mediocre at best. But there is no reason to resort to tired stereotypes when pointing out the Americans' impending doom.
Now, I'm sure that no offense was intended and that my co-author was merely attempting to use his post as a satrirical parody of turn of the 20th Century "Yellow Journalism" in America. But, perhaps my friend Jeffy should be mindful of Little Jeffy's prescient channeling of Friedrich Nietzsche as illustrated above. And Jeffy, don't hate him 'cuz he's right.

It's good to see that Jeff is still the Rush Limbaugh of MLBlogs.
Team USA should be fearful of Team Japan – but let's call it what it is – just a game! Nothing more; nothing less.
Well said, Russell. I just hope that doesn't make me the Noam Chomsky.
Does that make Alyssa the Sarah Palin?
–A barely phased Jeffy
Maybe the two of you should consider couples counseling? :O) Ha, ha!!
I wouldn't expect a special olympics joke from the president, or any significant public figure for that matter. I'm excited for the game tonight, and I know I'm going to be biting my nails off and pulling out my hair throughout the whole game. Oh yeah, and I have a history quiz. Oops.

Rabbinic Mitzvahs
On Chanukah and Purim, we say the blessing, Asher Kidishanu - "Which God has commanded us..." Yet aren't those words inappropriate, given that nowhere in the 613 mitzvot of the Torah are these holidays mentioned.
The Aish Rabbi Replies:
Good question!
There are two types of mitzvahs: Torah-level and Rabbinic-level.
Torah-level refer to the 613 mitzvahs delineated in the Five Books of Moses.
Rabbinic mitzvahs are legislated by the Sages. The reason we say the same blessing ("which God has commanded us") is because the Torah itself gave the power of legislation to the Sages, as it is written, "You shall not stray from the word that [the Sages] tell you, whether to the right or to the left" (Deut. 17:11). Therefore, since the Torah gave the power to the Sages to legislate mitzvahs, it was as if the Torah itself sanctions these mitzvahs.
Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto wrote: "God's authority decreed that these Rabbinic mitzvahs be kept just like the Torah mitzvahs... One who violates these transgresses God's word as much as one who violates the explicit commandments."
There are seven Rabbinic mitzvahs that have this blessing. They are:
1) washing of the hands before bread
2) lighting of Sabbath Candles
3) lighting of the Festival candles
4) making an Eruv (carrying area for Shabbat)
5) reciting Hallel (Psalms of praise)
6) lighting the Chanukah menorah
7) reading the Megillah on Purim

Miss baseball?
Apparently the groundhog does, too.
Former Chicago White Sox owner Bill Veeck once said, "There are two seasons, winter and baseball."
Snowballs, skis and trays from the dining halls have all been some of the most popular items to play with throughout this and every winter season.
Isn't it time for some new toys?
Although it is still January, I am ready to put a glove on my hand and toss around a white leather ball with red stitching.
I'm ready for baseball.
The feeling of the ball smacking into your Rawlings mitt, the ding of an aluminum bat colliding with the ball, and the dirt accumulating in your shoes as you round the bases create memories that last a lifetime.
Sadly, my time in organized baseball has been over for nearly five years. I find it hard-pressed to get pickup games going, as many of my friends have given up their childhood recollection of their first Little League games. Some even go as far as saying baseball is a dying sport.
I'm here to defend our national pastime.
The first thing I hear from anti-baseball narcissists is that it's a boring game. "It takes so long in between pitches, and it's never exciting," they moan.
OK, so there's no hard-hitting action like in hockey or football. But it's far from dreary.
There are nine guys out in the field ready to move on any pitch. Each player has specific game plans for each hitter and has to adjust to every pitch. There can't be any flaw in their concentration at any time.
Furthermore, the precise skill of hitting is far from simple.
Ted Williams, a 19-time All Star and two-time MVP, said hitting a baseball was the hardest thing to do in the sport.
Based on the national television ratings, baseball has indeed taken a backseat to the National Football League. In all honesty, that makes sense.
After all, it's kind of hard to plan a life around 162 Major League Baseball games.
ose against the sport have plenty of ammunition to put down the nearly 200-year-old sport, as no instant replay and the lack of a salary cap seems to have hindered interest in the sport.
But, unlike any other sport on earth, baseball is built on tradition. The dirt fields and humble beginnings have translated to the modern game with a blue collar ethic and desire for personal achievement. Baseball is embedded in the soil of the founding of America.
Can any sport hold a candle to that distinction?
While basketball and football may be easier to play with simple equipment, baseball has been here from the get-go.
Even today, the mentality of the sport is carried out by the die-hard players, coaches and fans.
Last Friday, West Virginia head baseball Greg Van Zant tweeted that his squad opened practice with "great effort" and a well-prepared attitude. Although, he has drawn harsh criticisms in his 15 years at WVU, Van Zant appreciates the central ethics of being a baseball player.
While we are all suffering through the harsh conditions of the winter doldrums there is something to look forward to that will rid ourselves of the freezing torment: Baseball.

Oh I miss baseball, and 20 inches of snow doesn't help. But camps open up in two weeks and it's almost here.
Nice piece for the paper.
Another one of my favorite baseball quotes, which has become my mantra as the snow continues to fall:
"People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."
—Rogers Hornsby
Great piece. I'm excited for the Super Bowl, but of course, nothing can beat Opening Day.
thats awesome you write columns for a college newspaper
especially for west virginia university
your column is really well written too
reminds me to be grateful i got 4 years of high school baseball left
Put my money on your horse today! Don't let me down, Big Ben. Don't let me down!
Like the article you wrote. Have you looked into any NABA leagues in your area? Check out this site to find a league in your area if possible. http://www.dugout.org/
Congtratulations on making #13 in the ranking! Hope you do get to go to Spring training with your buddies! You all will so much fun! Punxsutawney is right, Spring is in the air!
Well spring is in the air our here in L.A too…then winter, then spring again, then winter. We're bouncing from 40 (sometimes closer to 30 for me at night – I live closer to national forest than Downtown) to 75/80 and back again, such is January in Southern California but no whining here. Frost on the car is hardly the same as snow and ice. Great article! You really sum it up well. And congratulations on your ranking! 13 is very impressive.
It's ten below in Michigan's U.P. I can't believe I'll be watching baseball in two months. I hope the little critter is right about an early spring.

Maybe it's Pierce Morgan's show he's referring to? Not sure, the guide doesn't list his guests.

The best results?
Are you sure about that?
Have you tried other training methods?
The best results in what? Strength and Size?
What about flexibility, breathe control, cardiovascular endurance, strength endurance, agility, balance, body composition, body fat%, core strength, and stability...you may very well be inferior in all these components.
The truth is, it takes more than 2-3 days to train these components.
Also important, whats your reason for exercise?
Ask yourself that.
Now ask yourself, why did the first man exercise? What is the original reason of exercise? Is that reason lost? When you go into a gym, it is hard to recognize what the true reason for physical training is. Everyone is so full of **** these days... modern training has lost its roots.
The truth is, the history of physical training, or working out, is based on WAR. Ancient warriors would train so they would be prepared to protect themselves, their families and their property from attack. Their training was not so much about looking better, but performing better. I think modern day exercisers should take this cue from Ancient Warriors.
This guy was trained to KILL YOU.
You work out twice a week. The days you rest, sit on the couch and watch TV...theres someone out there training 4-5 days more than you in preparation to kill you as you rest.
If you were unfit, you didn't survive! That's how it was back in 1300 in Puerto Rico with Tainos, even in more accient times of the Greeks and the Chinese. Training, and getting the physical improvements from training, was not about looking good in spandex or taking your shirt off at the beach. Their motivation for training was nothing less than SURVIVAL.
Imagine workout out as if your life depended on it. I really mean that.
Forget about what the bodybuilding community tells you about training muscles. Exercise is really about movement. Two types of movement really... The movement of your own body AND the movement of objects.
I see you do your squats, various olympic lifts and pullups, that's GREAT. I love those exercises.
Bodyweight calisthenics are the best way to train your body to move in the way it most naturally moves. Every movement of the body can be trained and improved with bodyweight exercises. On the other hand, dumbbells or kettlebells are the best ways to train the body to move objects. Just like an Ancient Warrior, combining bodyweight and dumbbell workouts are the best way to build a strong, attractive and functional body.
I understand quality over quanity. Yes. I apply that to my fitness.
Sometimes less is NOT more. Sometimes less is just less.
People seem to spend a lot of time and energy trying to AVOID the one thing they often need more of which is time on task.
For example, when I start my boxing session; I shadowbox my life away in 5-6 rounds. That means I act like as if I'm fighting and giving it all my energy. By the time I spar, I'm so tired that can an old lady can beat me up with the ammount of energy I have. That's my secret. Because when I come back the next day, my body is prepared physically and mentality to do demage. Why? I trained my stamina and muscular endurance to a level that I raise the peak every time. Its doable, so why not do it?
I tell you what, the biggest complement I get in my gym is my foot and hand speed, time, swiftness but most important is my endurance.
I sparr 4 times a week.
Everyday I sparr 3 men, 3 rounds each for a total of 9 rounds.
I continue my workout after that, hitting the bag, hitting the pads with my training, speed bag, working under the rope, skipping rope, 250 pull ups, 600 push ups...whatever it may be, it's just for the reason I'm training for...these are simply workouts because theres fighter's in my gym who do more than I do and at a higher quality.
It's not just related to boxing, I use to be a strength and conditioning assistant to the Manhattan Jaspers, D1 basketball team in the MAAC. They do what you do in a week times 2 in a their monday workout routine. Theres a reason why they're D1 athletes, theres a reason why I'm an amatuer boxer, and theres a reason why you're blobman.
