circuit training
I came across this while I was doing a search on human musculature:
“Your Questions Answered about ‘Circuit Training’
The human musculature doesn’t care if resistance is from weights or a piston, but do it the right order to get results.”
Full Article here.
I particularly like this quote: “… if you do not regularly change the stimulus to the muscle, all increases in strength or muscular endurance will plateau …”"
Here’s more though I’m not sure I would actually advise these sort of thing for anyone. Still it’s worth a look.
Combat Obesity
Independent Hydraulic Fitness Gyms Have the Solutions
and then there’s this: The 22-Minute Workout
A training system for both men and women in just 22-minutes, the secret lies in what’s in between the stations.
The thing to to note about these exercises is that they’re good for the general public. So who says working out is for hard core’s? 
I think I pulled my lower abs the other day. Everytime I did a leg raise or a sit up there’d be this strain sort of pain. Not quite painful but irritating.
eadwine says I should blog how Im trying to quit smoking.
So here goes:
How did I start? Well I think one day I just went out of the house, tried to look in my bag for my fags and realised, “WTF? I forgot I ran out of fags. I must’ve smoke my last one last night.”
The idea that I’ve been a slave to this habit for the last 10 years or so has been quite shack. I mean I looked at myself and said that I could pick up new stuff, like skiing in a single season, I pick up wakeboarding in less than 3 runs, and I lost weight and got this body in 3 months. If I can do all that shite, why can’t I bloody do WELL for my business AND frigging quit smoking. The idea that I was a slave to something just didn’t sit very well It’s that simple. I didn’t want to be a slave anymore. The shitty thing about it was that I was a voluntary slave.
It’s been about about 3 weeks now? Alright no.. it’s been about 2.5 weeks. I’ve had maybe about 1 fag on the average a day since. But I haven’t bought a pack since. I’ve been close to buying when I get depressed or upset or just plain bored. But the gum has really worked. It tastes like crap after a while but it does help. I was into phase 1 of the withdrawal but that’s over. The typical runny nose, sneezing, coughing and general feel fucked-up-ness. That was over quickly and I must admit that the 1 fag or 2 helped. There were days I had none and there were days I had up to 4. It’s only been 4 days since I had any fags at all. The gum is working. But I’m into phase II of the withdrawal shite now. I get a runny nose if I dont take any stims…. ie: coffee helps, tea helps and Kickstart™ definately helps.
I didn’t go to work today coz I feel like shitz. The morning coffee helped and I’m starting my 2nd pack of nicorettes (2mg). The mouth is still dryish but not so bad. I Soooooooooooo want a fag now. But chew chew chew! So that’s it… so far. I’ve been eating like a pig and my only consolation is that i can still afford it at the moment. I think I’m going to serious switch back to supersets to get some burn and get back to running. It’s been a week.
