Never too late
Back in 1973 I was doing a bit of yoga at a local studio, my teacher was 47 the same age as my mum. I tried getting mum into doing some exercise but she would say "it's to late for that!" Now I'm 62 and realize there's no reason not to start a health and fitness program at any age. My mum ...

Milk
Seek out the best-quality milk from local sources when possible. This means milk that is more expensive than the stuff from the convenience store around the corner, but as with meat and eggs, I think what that extra money buys — better animal welfare, fewer pesticides, support for a more sustainable...

Re: PEOPLE THAT HELP OTHERS
Being kind and helping others is something we all should do all the time.

Getting rid of belly fat ~ easy
At 148 lbs I tended to have some belly fat that I didn't care for, yes skinny folks can have belly fat. I trimmed down to 138 lbs and the belly fat disappeared and have a very lean torso where muscles pop out in bold relief. All I did was cut down on carbs, bread, snack bars (protein or granola) etc...

Re: Come on, let's get this party started!
Haha! someone gave me an video game station a couple of years ago, I must admit I like rpg games and sit back and play for an hour but I'm not obsessed like some other friends who play into the wee hours online as a social thing. I find time to work, rest and play. Recently I've been eating quite cl...

Re: Dynamic Tension and Wing Chun !
A year ago I did a Boot Camp, for a month I went 3 mornings a week starting at 6am to 7. It was pretty much all body weight workouts, the only machine was the rowing machine which I liked, (it had that fan type wheel at the front} you could set your distance and time. They had big rubber bands but t...
