The Best Week Ever!!

I've recently recieved some questions on how much and what to do for exercise in a week span. So here is a littl tid bit just to follow up with that question. It is recommended that everyone engage in at least 30-40 minutes of cardiovascular exercise (continuous activity) at least four times per week and resistance training (moderate to intense strength training with periods of rest between sets) for 20-40 minutes at least three times per week. Cardiovascular exercise and resistance training can be performed on the same day but it is recommended that resistance training occur before cardiovascular exercise in order to better maintain glucose stores (as glycogen) for increased energy and greater muscular response during and after exercise. This equates to a minimum of 180 minutes to as much as 280 minutes or more total exercise time per week.

Philosophy

A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING = PHILOSOPHY

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, go together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."

God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee!
