How much help is too much help?

My Grandfather did most things physical for my Grandma. As a result my Grandma's health went downhill. Are you really helping people by “making life easier for them”?

I just watched an old lady take 2 minutes to cross the road. Every step she took was progress. I felt sad for her. Not as sad though as if she couldn’t make it at all.
Should I have helped her? Or would I have been doing her a disservice by helping her? Would I have been contributing to her getting weaker by helping her?

I can’t know all the reasons my grandparents have aged differently. There are too many variables. I can’t know if it was environment, their diet, lifestyle, or genetics, but I do know that blaming randomness is too easy. The choices we make in our lives affect our future.

The training we’re doing today isn’t just about today.
EXERCISE IS GOOD!

Lunch Time Bash: Wednesday 12.15pm

"Cindy"









A challenge that consists of 5 chin ups, 10 push ups and 15 air squats. Once through this sequence is one rep. The winner is the person with the most reps after 20 minutes. Walter, Rich, Polisi, Sue and Jim took on Cindy. The score card:

Walter-20
Rich-18
Polisi- 17
Sue-15
Jim-12

Walter took out the title with an impressive 20. Special mention must go to Sue and Jim for their gutsy performance. Check out the photos of the guys in action.

Guilt-free Coffee

Guilt-free Coffee
A recent study from Sweden and Finland has found that people who drink coffee may lower their risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers followed more than 1400 over 20 and found that those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day were less likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer’s compared to those who drank little or no coffee. Of course, don’t forget the many studies that show moderation is the key to safe coffee drinking.

Improve Your Cycling

Three ways that improved core stability will improve your cycling:

1. Less lateral hip rock during pedaling. (Therefore more efficient pedaling. When you watch the great cyclists ride, their hips remain still)
2. Better posture on the bike (therefore more efficient pedaling and more aerodynamic positioning)
3. Better force transfer from your whole body to the pedals.

Training Tip

You need to analyze your training, qualitatively and quantitatively. If you don't know why you're doing what you're doing, stop doing it.
