It’s a beautiful day

I feel some muscles that I didn’t know exist, the sun is shining and I’m productive. Later I will break in my new running kicks and track what I do and how far I run with Sporty Pal.

Yesterday I spoke with my lovely one about positive thinking and talking a bit less negative (strawberry I swear a lot). I decided to replace the word “f#ck” with “love” and “sh!t” with “strawberry”. So in the future I “Strawberry! Love you, motherlover”. That’s rather weird stuff but makes me smile so it works. Hah!

I also picked up two great books yesterday. One small guide about positive thinking in a nutshell and Focused and Fearless: A Meditator’s Guide to States of Deep Joy, Calm, and Clarity.

The title sounds a bit esoteric and all that but what I have read of it so far is pretty well written, good advice with a touch of Buddhist philosophy. So yeah, life is good and I keep on working on a better version of myself. Guess that’s why life is good.


Continuity Is A Key Of Cardio Training.

You need a minimum of 20 minutes of continued elevated pulse to get the best results at least 3 times a week. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity most days of the week.

Cardio training increases life span. Several studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine, scientifically linked exercise with increased life spans for the first time. A famous study looked at 17,000 male alumni of Harvard University between the ages of 35 and 74. Results show that the physical activities of the men increased, their death rate decreased.

Men who spend at least 2,000 kilocalories per week doing moderate exercises such as tennis, swimming, jogging or brisk walking lowered their overall death rate by 25-33% and decreased their risk of coronary artery disease by an astounding 41% when compared to the more inactive fellow alumni.
