Getting Ripped Abs
Posted by sheila in Strength, Tips and Advice, Training on November 27, 2011
Six-pack abs. Or at least ripped abs. How to get them? Well, it’s really a combination of exercises–both cardio and strength training–plus diet. Eat lean. Burn calories. Build muscle. Peel the fat away. See the results. Here’s a very nice 2-part article on the topic, which not only discusses the above in more detail, but also suggests a number of good core exercises to target all 4 of your abdominal muscle areas, as you need to develop all four to see the results you want and crunches alone will NOT do it.

Training for Cold Water Swims
Posted by sheila in Tips and Advice, Training on November 12, 2011
Not that I am training for any cold, open water swims at the moment. But saw this article on the FINIS Blog, with a number of tips on how to train for such an event, plus comments from other readers, and want to save this link. I suspect that I will do the La Jolla Rough Water Swim again next year. I did it this year. Water temps were in the low 60s and no wet suits permitted. Definitely bears some thinking on how to get prepared for it next year. Thankfully I was only in the water for 38 minutes this year, and hopefully next year even less, but the cold did take a toll on my body.

Inspirational Moments for Autistic Boy

Great video from a high school basketball game when a young autistic boy gets a chance to play. Gives me chills.
Good Core Videos from Rocky’s Gym
So Rocky’s Gym in Santa Cruz has some nice Yelp reviews. Looks like a good place to check out if you’re from that area.
My friend posted one of his YouTube videos on Facebook. Looks like an excellent core exercise that I am going to have to try.
