Hard Not To Be Humbled

 

 

In spite of hundreds of people being all around, I always feel like I am here by myself. What an amazing place. I get misty eyed and wonder how anyone can not love American history.

 

Double Unders

Double unders (DU). After 10 months I have become a much better jump roper. I can now do a single DU anytime I want and can jump consistent SUs . But, I still do not 'get' double unders. Im closer. But not there. And that irks me. A lot.

Here is a compilation of tips and links I have come across or been offered. Someday I will post that I have them. Someday SOON I hope.

• "Stop doing single unders, you have to just tell yourself that you will do double unders and get out there and do them" --LG
• Rope as long as ground to nipples. Slower, higher jumps. (Few other people mention the speed as slower than SU)  --Mike McGoldrick,   http://fitr.tv/blogs/fitr-tv/6332336-how-to-do-picture-perfect-easy-double-unders
• "Make sure the hands stay to your side, so that if you drew a line from hand to hand it would go through your body" http://fireofthegodsfitness.blogspot.com/2012/07/double-under-demo-intro.html

A Bit Early??

 

Before Halloween.

Before Thanksgiving.

Obesity Epidemic

 

On Tuesday a new report was released discussing the American obesity epidemic. This 124-page report by the “Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation was titled “F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future.”

At present, 36 percent of us are considered to be obese. By 2030 it is anticipated that 50 percent of us will be fat.

FIFTY percent.

How do we begin to break this cycle?
