Determination, Dedication, and Discipline

2008 puts me about 17-18 years into this industry and marks my 7th consecutive year that I have been teaching Kardio© classes in some form or another. I wholeheartedly thank all of you who have made this journey worth while. For some, physical fitness is a one man/woman endeavor. It’s a road some go down alone. And that’s okay. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that. But I will not deny the fact that over the years my support system has grown and so have I.

I’m not an emotional kind of guy. I don’t cry at the movies, I don’t punch walls when things don’t go my way, and I am very slow to anger. Typically, I consider myself pretty even keeled. But it blows my mind when I look around at all the people who have shown their support and the lengths at which they’ve gone to do so. It is a joy and a privilege to have realized my calling on life at a young age and I thank each of you who's allowed me to experiment at Your Expense!” It means a lot to me to have family and friends who will do whatever it takes to ensure that I’m at my best. That’s what I call one hell of a support system and without it I may not be as a successful as I am. So, really, we win together!

I woke up “extra” hungry today. Hungry!!! Not as in six whole eggs and six whites with cheese and ham, three blueberry pancakes, and two bowls of Peanut Butter Captain Crunch. Hungry, as in heavy squats, leg presses, walking lunges (done outside – walking up 18th street), leg extensions, leg curls, seated, standing and lying and stiff leg deadlifts…That's being hungry. I am always hungry. Hungry to strive forward, to better myself, to learn from mistakes, to stay focused, to stick to my game plan… One month ago - as I sat drenched in sweat, breathing heavily, recovering from my most hell raising - kick assz - Kardio© class EVER, I had a revelation. I was wasting my fucking time! I was winded and tired, I had almost puked & passed out in front of my class, but there was still high octane in the tank, and here I am idling in the '78 Cadillac Coupe deVille with the Ferarri engine that I call my body. I thought to myself, “Don't just sit there… Punch it...!” Time is money… And I ain't got enough of each. I probably never will, and the more I accumulate of one, the more I'll have spent of the other. As such, we need to make the most of our moments and squeeze as much productivity as possible out of each gym session we are blessed with. Don't get pimp slapped by the hands of the clock. Take back your time. Take control of your workouts and get that race car in the red…!


HAPPY NEW YEAR ! ! !

KEEPING YOU SAFE

A quick note concerning my last entry concerning the Pin Number Reversal - it has been varified and it DOES NOT WORK! pooh ~

However - this entry is promoting common sense and it alway works...

This year, millions will use the Internet for some portion of their holiday shopping. And with it comes a surge in online crime. Surrounded by the familiar comforts of home, it’s easy to lose sight of this.

So, here are some tips to make your online transactions safe:

-Keep your Internet security software completely up-to-date.

-Always check the wireless network you connect to is secure. Free wireless hot spots are not always safe.

-Password-protect your computer, PDA, and other digital equipment.Make your password memorable but not easy to decipher. Don’t base it on your name, email address or birthday. Also, if you write down your passwords, never leave them in plain sight or in easy-to-find places near your computer terminal.

-Know your merchants. Make sure their Web site is legitimate… When entering sensitive data, see to it the web address starts with "https" and look for a small picture of an unbroken key or closed lock in the bottom right area of your browser window. Without these, don’t transact online.

-Use one credit card with a low limit and if possible never use a debit card - or anything requiring you give a pin #. If you have the option of credit or debit - USE CREDIT. If your credit card number gets stolen, you won’t lose more than $50.

-Consider Bill Me Later as ways to pay without using a credit card.

-After the holidays, watch your credit card statements carefully for a few months. Verify you made all of the purchases listed.

-NEVER use public computers to shop online!!!
(like - duhh)

Life is full of changes...think ahead!

PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse. For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you. This information was recently broadcast on FOX TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.

~ we are consuming poop ~




To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine and those who don't.

Ben Franklin said: "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria." In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop ~ Wine = Health.

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.

hmmm ~ YOU B THE JUDGE...



She used to be brown.

She could get down.

Now, she's light.

She doesn't look quite right.
Rumor has it that Miss Kim has had more than her Breast/Tummy/Hip/Butt/Eye/Lips & hair did... She apparantly has had the same proceedure as Michael Jackson to lighten her skin... (you be the judge)





Did Rihanna really hurt her leg? Or is the hurt leg just a ruse to draw attention away from her now burgeoning chest? Those are new oranges stuffed under her chest where it used to be rather flat! Oh well, the 'I hurt my leg' story sure didn't distract anyone away from her new round breasts.



Vivica Fox scares me. She was recently arrested for a DUI (driving under the influence), but I believe she should have been arrested for lip collagen abuse, especially on her top lip. AND WHY HAS NO ONE SAID ANYTHANG ABOUT THAT BIG OL' 4 HEAD..?????

(WTF)- you be the judge...!



Lip collagen cost - $400

Face lift cost - $12000

Cheek implant cost - $1500

Your natural wrinkled hands - free!

Sorry Priscilla Presley , there is no plastic surgery remedy for old hands. The taut skin of her face looks 40-something and her hands reveal her true age. (that is just weird...)

Tennis - A Total Body Workout!

Head to toe, tennis is the ultimate workout.

There aren’t many sports activities that test every part of your body. Basketball and soccer are good for your legs and your aerobic health. Weightlifting makes you stronger.

Tennis takes care of everything. It requires QUICKNESS and AGILITY to get to the ball, CORE STRENGTH to get power into your shots, STAMINA to be able to play for a couple of sets and MENTAL TOUGHNESS to stay one step ahead of your opponent. All that while having fun, working off stress and energizing your spirits.

Here is what tennis can do for you:


The championship form of Venus Williams demonstrates why head to toe, tennis is the ultimate workout.



Head
Tennis sharpens the mind as it shapes the body. Every time a ball is hit, you must react and respond quickly. And if you’re going to be successful, you must map out a strategy to use against your opponent. This helps keep your brain agile and young—and helps relieve tension.

Arms
Swinging a racquet for an hour or two will help tone your biceps, triceps, shoulders and forearms, and will leave you stronger and more sculpted throughout your upper body.

Flexibility
Tennis forces you to stretch dozens of muscles all over your body, including a few you probably didn’t know you had.

Abs
Core strength may be a hot workout topic these days, but tennis players have known about it for years. That’s because the core, or trunk, which includes your abs and lower back muscles, does the hard work when you hit a tennis ball. It not only keeps you balanced as you run, it provides the power in your strokes, along with your legs and upper body.


Legs
Your leg muscles—your calves, hamstrings and quadriceps—get a full workout from playing tennis. What’s more, the powering explosive movements you make in tennis, such as taking a first step toward the ball or changing direction in a split second, are great for strengthening your “fast-twitch” muscle fibers, which are essential to explosive, anaerobic types of activity.

Heart
Interval training is a great way to improve heart function, and tennis trains the heart in an interval fashion. Your body works at a higher level as it runs around the court and then recovers at a lower intensity during the 20 to 30 seconds between points. This is the exercise routine often used on treadmills and elliptical trainers—and a lot more fun.

It never hurts to be careful

If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM - toss it away from you.... chances are that their more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and they will go for the wallet/purse.

RUN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times;
And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.


If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.


If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you.


Woman are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP ! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.


- The CRYING BABY –

Cops says that a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone has dropped off or abandoned a baby. If you hear a crying baby in the middle of the night CALL THE POLICE..!

DO NOT open the door for the crying baby ----

A $100,000 BET~

An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a Savings Account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money.

After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right) an employee took the elderly woman to the president's office.

The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, '$165,000'. The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The elderly woman replied that she made bets.

The president was surprised and asked, 'What kind of bets?'

The elderly woman replied, 'Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square.'

The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that.

The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, 'Would you like to take my bet?'

'Certainly', replied the president. 'I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are not square.'

'Done', the elderly woman answered. 'But given the amount of money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come back at 10 o' clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness.' 'No problem', said the president of the Bank confidently.

That night, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning them this way and that, checking them over again and again until he was positive that no one could consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet.

The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly woman arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the president's testicles were square.

The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants etc. So that she and her lawyer could see clearly.

The president was happy to oblige.

The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and asked the president if she could touch them. 'Of course', said the president. 'Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure.'

The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, 'Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Bank of Canada !'
