Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Friday, December 15. 2017Stronger legs without weights? For weekend mountain hikers and fitness nuts. Piano-movers may ignore this post.Walking, jogging, running, and elliptical don't do anything to build lower body strength. Those things are about cardio and endurance - which are also useful things to pursue with exercise. Strength for full functionality is something different. It's not easy to build lower body (hips, glutes, legs) strength without heavy weight exercises like deadlifts and barbell squats, but there are some exercises that can help get in shape for skiing, mountain hiking, etc. - and are good cardio too. I generally do 3 sets of each of them once weekly in addition to my heavy weight regimen: - Mountain Climbers - 50-100/set (left+right = 1). They toughen your core too, because it's a dynamic plank. - Body weight squats. I combine them with 90 degree 10-second squat-sits every 10 squats. It burns. - Squat and press, with lighter hand weights - a good full-body calisthenic. Or Step Up and Press. - Lunges - forward, backwards, sideways. I do them with lightish hand weights, like 10 lbs. - Kettlebell swings. Don't use your back - use your hips. - Box jumps or jumping squats - Stairmaster machine, at whatever speed you can handle. Your body adapts quickly to this demand. People say it's a fat-burner too but I doubt it unless you go for 45 minutes at a brisk pace. (the first 20 minutes of any cardio exercise burns zero fat)

A Christmas present idea, if you are anywhere around NYCTickets for a performance of Shadowlands at the Acorn Theater. We saw it last night with friends. The acting is top-notch. Many of us know the story of CS Lewis' late-age romance with a younger brash NYC Jewish woman Joy Davidman, the story of her subsequent death from cancer, and, especially, the story of how Joy led Lewis from the safe, emotionally-cloistered cocoon life of a timid Oxford don, and unleashed his soul and spirit. BTW, we are fans of the West Bank Cafe down there on the west end of the theater district. Comfortable, decent food. Thursday morning links

Mrs. BD and I have explored most of the parts of Italy (and pretty much all of Sicily too). Still need to get to Bologna, tho. Anyway, Mrs. BD's favorite area is Umbria. It has the mountains and the villages, the Sibillini national park, the black truffle, norceria, and of course Norcia itself which is all about food, St. Benedict, and our friends the Monks of Norcia. Also, Assisi - but one visit to that tourist trap is enough.

From today's Lectionary: Comfort my peopleIsaiah 40:1-11 40:1 Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. 40:2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins. 40:3 A voice cries out: "In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 40:4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. 40:5 Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken." 40:6 A voice says, "Cry out!" And I said, "What shall I cry?" All people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field. 40:7 The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the LORD blows upon it; surely the people are grass. 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever. 40:9 Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings, lift it up, do not fear; say to the cities of Judah, "Here is your God!" 40:10 See, the Lord GOD comes with might, and his arm rules for him; his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 40:11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms, and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep.

Aerobic exercise, and balanced fitness programs in general for ordinary peopleYesterday we had some agreement and some disagreement on the topic of the value or the role of "Long, slow, " aka aerobic, cardio workouts in a fitness or conditioning program. My Conditioning program, which I hope to continue until something knocks me out of the ring, includes some pure cardio but it is a balanced and varied program designed to address all of the aspects of physical fitness. What's the rationale, and what's that program? (Somewhat lengthy post below) -
