1. Warm Up: On the treadmill, set the incline so that it is challenging (most machines incline to a fifteen, a six or seven incline should be sufficient), with a walk pace that gets you walking briskly without…
I completed the Cody, and stuck the routine! All I had to worry about now, was the judges calculating my final score. If you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, don’t worry, not many people wouldn’t either. I’m describing a scenario which happened at one of my recent trampoline competitions, a sport gaining popularity, but not as popular as the sport I left before joining my current passion.…
Why buy an American made vehicles you ask? I’ll tell you why because buying American made vehicles creates American made jobs. Everyone knows that American made vehicle’s make a distinctive sound. Take for instance the Ford mustang and the Chevy corvette. Who doesn’t like the sound of these vehicles or design? A few things I will discuss about American made manufactures will be the quality they put forth in designing these vehicles, the job security it helps with in America and how American manufactures have now stepped up to the plate with their new innovated designs for the auto industry.…
I was wondering if I could come in and talk to you about the physical education requirements needed to graduate. I have my own strict personal workout routine that I do daily, and adding a sport would be both physically and mentally tiring. I understand that I could just stop my routine to save my time and energy for the sport, but I have done this routine for years and it keeps me fit and awakens my brain. The workout applies to my body, my strengths, and my weaknesses personally. I am contacting you to ask for a time that I can come in and talk to you about what the real benefits of and reasons that doing a sport are and how it differs from my personal workout. I also wanted to come in to ask you if there is any alternate possible way to…

“I’m tired”, Max tells Jack. “Quit whining and walk faster, we’re both tired”, Jack answers back annoyed. It’s Tuesday afternoon, Jack and Max have been walking three whole days now with only a couple of rests in between to regain their strength and use the restroom. Jack needs to get to a town called Silverstar to deliver a package to someone that’s supposed to meet him there. Because Max didn’t have anything else to do and was bored out of his mind, he decided to accompany him.…

PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
Attention Getter: I would like to start my presentation off by telling you all to ask yourselves a series of fairly straight forward questions. I want you to take a look at you’re, any hand and ask your selves “Who’s hand is this?” Do the same with your other hand, and now both legs and your arms if you would like. If I am not mistaking the answer to all your questions are mine right. They are your hands, legs, and arms. What I am trying to get through to you all today is that your body is your body and that a person should be able to profit of his or her own body if done in a safe and controlled way.…
It seems to me that people do everything possible to avoid running. I don't understand it; I think that I would be living in a room with padded walls if I didn't run. To me, running is more then just a way to stay in shape or lose a few pounds. It is time that I can think; everything is so much clearer, nothing to bother me or cloud my mind; just the ground, the music in my headphones, and me.…
The summer, a time of warm weather, long weekends, friends and holidays. It is also the time where many of us put down the junk food, get off the couch and come out of winter hibernation to enjoy the outdoors. It’s often not long after playing your first game of beach volleyball or running to catch the bus when you realise that your heart is racing, sweat is pouring down your face and you are breathing heavily. As you look up and watch everyone still running around you or as your stepping onto the bus only one thought is running through your mind “WOW I am out of shape!”. Now I am not here today to try and convince you to get into better shape. Starting a fitness routine is a commitment that an individual needs to decide on for themselves when the time is right for them. It is at this time when many people have the same debate, do you shell out the money for a gym membership? or do you invest in a home gym? My goal today is to persuade you so when or if you do decide to start a fitness routine you will choose to or at least consider the benefits of purchasing a gym membership over investing in a home gym. I believe this can be done by examining what many people think are the benefits of investing in a home gym. Which are saving money, convenience, and not having to deal with other members. After looking at these three points it will become clear that not all of them are completely true and joining a gym can satisfy these needs just as well if not better.…
Attention Getter: Exercising is very important when it comes to your health, both physically and mentally. However many people enjoy it, while others do not.…
Running or walking on a treadmill puts less strain on your joints as compared to running outdoors. This is because the running belts on treadmills are padded and softer than the roads or sidewalks outdoors. Overweight or obese people find this advantageous, because it lowers the chance of injury. Treadmill exercise is also a good option for people who have knee problems.…
