You’re Never Too Old
I thought this BBC article was extremely cool. Exercise classes keep Flo fit at 100. Flo Harmsworth is a good example of the old adage, “It’s never too late to get fit.” At the age of 90 her doctor prescribed exercise classes to help combat the painful effects of peripheral vascular disease – narrowing of the arteries. Her legs were aching and, despite having a very active life, she was starting to find it too...
Dishonest Or Incompetent? Your Choice…

Max-OT: Week 5
Finally. Got. Through. An. Uninterrupted. Week. It felt good, despite the fact that I had a major case of DOMS in my quads following the leg workout. And it’s not like I made any earth-shattering progress this week, either. It FELT like progress, however, given the general disorganization of the last 3 weeks.
