Kettlebell swing tip: “Forcefully exhale through Kettlebell swing tip: “Forcefully exhale through your teeth on the way up; sharply inhale through your nose on the way down. In the future, you will learn how to take two sharp inhalations back to back on the way down.

To help you find the breathing rhythm, loudly call out the number of each rep at the top of the swing. Loud. Louder! 

Later, once you have fully dialed in the breathing rhythm, switch to grunts or Tssa!!! sounds. Do not try to be quiet; the swing is not that type of exercise. The swing is full of spirit, like a karate punch. KIAI!!! 

Along with your battle cry, cramp your glutes, brace your abs, and pull up your kneecaps.

– Pavel, in: Kettlebell Simple & Sinister: Revised and Updated Edition

“The swing is The Thing. It’s the best exercis “The swing is The Thing. It’s the best exercise for almost everyone—beginners to elite athletes, youngsters to elders. I just can’t find another exercise that is as easy on the body and makes one work as hard as the hard style kettlebell swing. It strengthens the body and at the same time, it heals it.”

"Mens sana in corpore sano" is a Latin phrase, usu "Mens sana in corpore sano" is a Latin phrase, usually translated as "a healthy mind in a healthy body".

The phrase comes from Satire X of the Roman poet Juvenal (10.356). It is the first in a list of what is desirable in life:

You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Ask for a stout heart that has no fear of death,
and deems length of days the least of Nature's gifts
that can endure any kind of toil,
that knows neither wrath nor desire and thinks
the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than
the loves and banquets and downy cushions of Sardanapalus.
What I commend to you, you can give to yourself;
For assuredly, the only road to a life of peace is virtue.

How many pushups can you do? Question: Is there a How many pushups can you do?

Question: Is there an office-based objective measurement that clinicians can use to assess the association between fitness and cardiovascular disease risk?

Findings: This longitudinal cohort study of 1104 occupationally active adult men found a significant negative association between baseline push-up capacity and incident cardiovascular disease risk across 10 years of follow-up. Participants able to complete more than 40 push-ups were associated with a significant reduction in incident cardiovascular disease event risk compared with those completing fewer than 10 push-ups.

Meaning: Push-up capacity is a no-cost, fast, and simple measure that may be a useful and objective clinical assessment tool for evaluating functional capacity and cardiovascular disease risk.

Celebrating the #worldpoetryday! "We don't read a Celebrating the #worldpoetryday!

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. 

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. 

To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" 

Answer. 

That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play ‘goes on’ and you may contribute a verse. 

What will your verse be?"

– John Keating, Dead Poets Society

“Our bodies have a beautifully designed system t “Our bodies have a beautifully designed system to handle acute stress. 

When a danger or stressor occurs (real or imagined), our bodies produce a flood of compounds that get us ready to fight or flee. 

Our adrenal glands pump out cortisol and adrenaline. 

Our heart pumps faster, our blood clots more easily, our mind gets sharp, and glucose floods our bloodstream to fuel our escape from danger. 

It’s a great system designed for acute stress. 

However, modern life is rife with chronic stressors. 

Processed food and sugar and starch, toxins, our stressful culture, social media, economic disparities, childhood traumas, and social isolation all register in the body in the same way as acute stress. 

Long-term elevations in cortisol are a disaster for health and longevity. 

The consequences: obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, dementia, autoimmunity, depression, sarcopenia… the list goes on. 

Incorporating daily practices of stress reduction is an essential part of creating health and living a long, vibrant life.”
