StrengthCast Featuring: How To Improve Your Tone, Strength and Flexibility and Full Body Mobility Routine | Cameron Yuen & RSP Nutrition

 

How To Improve Your Tone, Strength and Flexibility

• Author Jeffrey Smithz

If you need to tone your body, or gain flexibility and strength there is no easier, low maintenance way than with resistance bands. Resistance bands can be used at home, or outside, and are convenient to take with you if you are traveling.

Everyone, from men, women, children, senior citizens, body builders, and even armed forces personnel are able to use resistance bands. Body builders, for instance, have incorporated resistance bands in their workouts for over a decade, using them to increase resistance when performing barbell lifts and to augment resistance for squats. They can completely replace pulley exercises, giving body builders the optimum gain for building muscle.

In this video, Cameron Yuen takes us through a mobility program that can be used as a warmup or as a separate routine.

Resistance bands are also used in physical therapy to strengthen weakened areas that have sustained injury. Combined with light exercise, resistance bands get you moving freely again, and they are perfect for maintaining the mobility gained after physical therapy. They also work well with exercise programs, including Pilates and Yoga. They are designed to gently work you into the best shape without adding unwanted bulk. Exercises using these bands tone your body from head to toe enabling you to burn fat and tone muscle even in the abdominal region, which is where excess fat is usually found.

Resistance bands require no other apparatus - they are able to be used on their own. They are made from of high quality rubber and come in a range of resistances (hence their name!), and the easy color coding makes a workout with them a breeze, whilst enabling you to continue having success at achieving your fitness goals.

Most manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty, however I can think of only one who includes a User Manual as part of a purchase and they are proresistancebands.com. The User Manual not only explains how to use the bands, but also includes numerous exercises and instructions to work each muscle group.

Incorporating resistance bands into an exercise routine is super easy, and you don't need to learn any complicated new routines. The bands are cost-effective, and you save on storage space too because, unlike bulky exercise apparatus, the bands fit neatly into a drawer. Also, combining bands to create even more resistance and challenge your muscles even further is sometimes done, once your body becomes familiar with a regular resistance. They evaluate your range of movement and improve your muscle tone. Strength training reverses bone loss and prevents bone degeneration, whilst encouraging brain-boosting properties which can help ward off age-related dementia.

Muscle tone is a use-it-or-lose-it part of the body. Using resistance bands to improve your muscle tone is beneficial no matter how old you are. Toning enables you to burn calories more effectively and it helps manage chronic conditions such as arthritis and heart disease. Exercising increases positive mood chemicals from the brain, improving concentration and focus. The rewards of resistance band exercise are massive. Whether you are a trained athlete or a beginner, the bands can be used safely with no supervision, so there is no need for high-priced personal trainers!

Bands do not rely on gravity to give resistance. This promotes natural movement that you cannot reproduce with dead-weight bar bells. Twisting side-to-side, punches, kicks, movement that duplicates golf swings, basketball throws and baseball pitches are all more natural and effective when done with resistance bands, providing you with a constant free range of motion.

Overall, they are a safer way to exercise, and are an inexpensive alternative to add quality to your life.

P@ndemic Town Hall #2 | P@ndemic Illness Is Easily Preventable! And 7 Daily Habits You Can Do Every Day to Be Healthy

7 Daily Habits You Can Do Every Day to Be Healthy

• Author Jeremiah Say

Without realizing it, your daily habits have the ability to make or break you. The outcome of your life start with the basics, and that includes your daily habits and your lifestyle. By choosing to focus on the wrong habits, you give power to all the wrong things. With this being said, the following are 7 healthy habits you can have in your everyday life: (Continued below......)

In the video below, we’ve gathered some of the world’s leading doctors to shed light on the truth about COVID-19 and its treatments. Join our host KC Craichy as he dives in to the tough questions with our panel of health experts in our second Pandemic Town Hall. Learn more at The Truth About Vaccines.

1.  (.....Continued......)Eat healthier

The food you choose to consume can affect you just like any other aspect. If you keep on eating the wrong food, this can be dangerous to your health and provoke certain illnesses and diseases. For instance, if you keep eating meat but avoid vegetables and fruits, this isn't a healthy diet. By eating healthy, this means a balanced diet of protein, vegetables and fruits, nutrition, carbohydrates and fiber.

"The mind and body are not separate. What affects one, affects the other." ~ Gracious Quotes

2. Have a healthy sleep schedule

If you're constantly sleep deprived or have a habit to over-sleep, this isn't good for you either. If you lack sleep, this causes you to lose focus and attention-span. On the other hand, over-sleeping makes you lose your productivity and the time you would have spent on work. By having a healthier sleep schedule, this improves your energy, mood and focus for the day.

3. Exercise daily

Regular exercise isn't just proven to improve your overall mood, but it maintains your health and well-being. By engaging in exercise, you're taking proper care of your health and your body. Furthermore, you get to improve your heart condition and build endurance and strength in the process.

4. Drink water constantly

Various diseases are caused by dehydration, which makes water as the ultimate cure to avoid illnesses. The recommendable intake is 6 to 8 glasses of water a day, no matter what you have planned for your day. Whether you're going out, doing work, or staying at home, drink as much water as you can.

5. Never skip a meal

Even as you're trying to lose weight, don't ever skip a meal. This is unhealthy and may trigger diseases in your colon, which is why always take your breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you're on a diet, lower your food intake but still take a bite.

6. Avoid having coffee before meals

Caffeine is one of the fastest way to become acidic and can cause acid reflux. A lot of people make the mistake of taking their coffee in the morning before having breakfast, which can cause you serious problems in the future.

7. Meditate

Even if it isn't directly related to your body, this has everything to do with your mental health. We're always constantly thinking of things- all at once, This can be an unhealthy habit, which is why meditation is the best way to break that habit. By focusing on your breathing and taking a break from all your thoughts, you get a healthier mind which in return, gives you a healthier heart. It may seem like a basic habit, but it's much more than it seems.

Tactical P.E. Presents Mixed Martial Arts May Very Well Be Great For Your Kids and Crowder Demonstrates PROPER BJJ Police TAKEDOWN!

 

Mixed Martial Arts May Very Well Be Great For Your Kids

• Author Boris Basset

Mixed Martial Arts Can Be Very Good For Your Kids

While many parents think about what extra curricular activities would be great for their child, a lot of them never contemplated mixed martial arts. Mixed martial arts is a good blend of a number of martial arts such as judo, jujitsu, tae kwon do and karate. They take time to learn, and before your children can move on, they have to learn the basics of one. (Continued below............)

Inspired by a recent viral police video... Crowder demonstrates the best (and safest) way to take down inner-city hooligans... like Smooth Manny. Get the LWC Podcast here.

LESSON 1: TRAIN

LESSON 2: GEAR

LESSON 3: FLEX

LESSON 4: FIGHT

LESSON 5: PREPARE

(..........Continued.........)The question you may be pondering is why would mixed martial arts be beneficial to children? It is an activity that is great for the mental as well as physical health of those who take part, and that is what your kids would get. The intensive aerobic sessions can reduce the chances of your young ones getting cancer, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Although it can be good for learning self defense, it does have an incredible impact on your child's health. When they have just a few lessons under their belt, you will notice improvement in their self confidence and leadership skills. As they know how to guard themselves, they could protect themselves from bullies.

One would assume that a young child that learns mixed martial arts will become violent but that is certainly not the case. Research has shown that boys and girls with no self confidence, no training and no discipline are the ones who start almost all fights at school. As a way of getting attention, these young children will pick on the weak and smaller kids. There have been scientific studies that show children with ADD and ADHD have benefited from learning mixed martial arts. The training in mixed martial arts entails plenty of repetition, which actually helps children with ADD or ADHD to stay focused when doing tasks. This helps them a whole lot later, as the symptoms of the two disorders are better kept in check.

Generally, any activity that your kid does, whether it is mixed martial arts or some other sport or activity will have a positive effect on them. Several research studies have demonstrated that mixed martial arts can help with a child's mental development and they will not likely grow up to be violent. Kids learning mixed martial arts will likely grow up to be model citizens who are dependable and compassionate. Your young children might like it, and it could be good for them, especially if they are lacking in self confidence and maturity. Look into the many gyms to find out what types of programs are offered for boys and girls. Watch various classes to find out what your young ones think, and what the trainers are like. This might not be something you want to force on your kids, but allow them to decide for themselves if they would like to do it.

Not all children even like recreational activity, not to mention something like mixed martial arts. It is probably best that your child does an activity that will not only be pleasurable but will improve their physical and mental well-being.

The Rock Almighty Devotional, Praise, and Worship with P.O.D. and Why We Give Presents At Christmas

 

Why We Give Presents At Christmas

• Author Paul Smith

Every year on December 25th we celebrate the tradition of giving gifts to our friends, family and loved ones whilst very few of us understand the reasoning behind doing so. There is a lot of history that people rightly and wrongly associate with the giving of gifts at Christmas, which in many ways is a relatively modern tradition. (Continued below.....)

(....Continued.....) One of the earliest significant customs of giving Christmas presents during the winter solstice was throughout the Roman festival of the Kalends, which occurred at the beginning of January. Leading officials of the Roman Administration were expected to present presents to their Emperor during the festival, these presents were known as strenae.

Originally, these presents were believed to be branches of evergreen taken from the grove of the goddess Strenia; but Caligula wasn’t very keen on olive branches, so, the Roman dignitaries began to give presents of honey and cakes which pleased their Emperor.

Modern beliefs in the Christian religion is that the giving of giving presents at Christmas can be tracked back to the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh that were given to the Christ child by the three kings.

The visit of the three kings who followed a star to the Christ child was originally celebrated on the Feast of Epiphany on January 6th. Time ensured the tradition of giving presents came to be more associated with Christmas than with Epiphany. However even today in many countries presents are given on January 6th rather than December 25th.

We can be certain the ancient Church didn’t celebrate Christmas as much as it observed it as a holy day. The tradition of giving presents at Christmas grew in popularity throughout the middle ages, bringing us to the modern commercialized era of present giving.

During the nineteenth century, the idea of present giving took on new dimensions, as the works of Charles Dickens and Thomas Nast helped shape our concepts of Santa Claus and other notable aspects of the holiday.

The belief that Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus) brings presents comes from the legend of the generosity of Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra. Remembered for his generosity and kindness, he died on December 6th, in the year 345 when it became customary to give presents on the anniversary of his death.

For a long time Christians would give presents on both Saint Nicholas' Day and Christmas Day, but over time the two dates fused into one and Saint Nicholas was borrowed from his own day to be the patron saint of December 25th.

The reality of modern day gift giving is that we give presents to our friends, family and loved ones as a sign that we value and care for them, rarely because of the history that surrounds Christmas.

Guidelines for all Religions and for all People of Goodwill for a Loving and Peaceful World and Charlene Bollinger Speaks in Washington, DC

 

Guidelines for all Religions and for all People of Goodwill for a Loving and Peaceful World

• Author June Stepansky

People of different views and different lifestyles share many similar values and ideals. These guidelines are about our shared similarities that emphasize how alike we all really are. Here are some of the values on which we can all agree and on which we must ultimately work together to strengthen.

The golden rule is a universal value that all of us share--Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

All of us love our families and want our children to be educated, healthy and happy.

All of us want to have adequate shelter and food and medical care for our families

All of us want to be productive and be able to find work and have fair compensation for our work.

All of us want to be feel safe and be protected from cruelty and injustice in our various environments.

All of us want to be respected even though some of our opinions and customs may differ from one another.

All of us want to live in a country that respects our freedoms and our rights.

All of us want to live in a world that is safe from preventable disasters, from both the violence of our fellow man and from man’s abuse of nature.

All of us want to have the freedom to pursue our unique destiny and fulfill our unique dreams.

All of us share the dream of a safer, better, happier world for us, our children and our children’s children forever.

Because we all basically have so much that we share in common, each of us must strive to become more compassionate and more understanding of those differences between us which will always exist in a diverse society, and we must all strive to become more tolerant of those differences and to value the skills of compromise-- in our families, in our communities and in our international relationships, so that we can ultimately live together in harmony in a more loving and peaceful world.

To this end, let us all as caring individuals of all religions and of all races and nationalities pledge our united energies and our maximum efforts. By our united action not only can we give our lives added meaning, but we can also insure that this world, which belongs to all of us, will eventually become the fulfillment of all of our hopes and all of our dreams.

Two Gun Stories We Can Learn From. And Suspect Gets Shot While Trying To Take The Officer's Gun

 

Two Gun Stories We Can Learn From

by Joshua Gillem on  

This stock photo has nothing to do with the post.

Sometimes we see news stories that highlight what not to do when you're a gun owner or carrier of a concealed gun. It's always a delight, or not depending on your outlook on life, when two stories fly across my desk on the same day.

Please know that whenever I cover stories like this it's not my intent to sound snarky or to poke fun at the people involved, though that does sometimes happen because I'm a naturally snarky person. My goal with these types of articles is to teach you (and me) what not to do with our guns.

These stories serve as a reminder of sorts to say, don't be stupid. And I think we can all use reminders from time to time.

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) ** Los Lunas, New Mexico — On November 19, 2020, at approximately 8:32 a.m., a New Mexico State Police Officer observed a grey Chrysler 200 passenger vehicle with an Indiana license plate and rear end damage traveling north at a speed of 93 mph on Manzano Expressway in Los Lunas, NM. The posted speed limit in that area is 45 mph. Support Police Activity Donate to PoliceActivity: https://www.patreon.com/PoliceActivity

Let's get started:

Shooting a fleeing suspected burglar —

I'm fairly certain we've said on more than one occasion that shooting at a guy who is just stealing your property (when there is no threat to life), even though it is a crime, is a no-go situation in most instances. This story out of Yakima, Washington shows us why.

The Yakima County prosecutor, Joe Brusic, is looking into the recent shooting of a burglary suspect, as he fled. The 24 year old male received a gunshot to the back of the head while fleeing in a vehicle, after burglarizing a building.

The suspected burglar told the County Sheriff's Deputies that the property owners opened fire as he drove the vehicle around them, and that he was subsequently hit in the head. It has been reported that other shots hit other parts of the vehicle.

While Brusic wouldn't comment on if the property owners will be facing criminal charges, he is investigating the matter further, even though the suspect told deputies he didn't personally intend to press charges.

Brusic said:

To use potentially deadly force to keep someone from stealing property or obtain property back is always a serious matter.

Deputies found a lot of the stolen property to include two trucks, a plasma cutter, and two welders. Some of the property was found at the suspect's residence after the deputies arrested him on unrelated charges that same evening.

The spokesman for the Yakima County Sheriff said this regarding the use of force:

Human life is more important than the property. Reasonable force can be used to protect property — deadly force can be used to protect people. Defending yourself is your right, but it comes with rules, rights and obligations.

I've covered this topic before in this article here, and can say that I've been told by firearm attorneys that it is generally seen as a bad thing to protect property with deadly force and that it should only be used to protect life when life is being threatened.

We don't know if charges will be pressed by the prosecutor, but it doesn't seem to be off the table. Finally, the phrase “when in doubt, whip it out” does not apply to the use of a firearm to stop a burglary in progress.

The correct course of action here would likely have been to call the police, report the stolen goods, and then wait. Does that suck? Yeah, but so does spending some time in jail if they find you guilty.

Source.

Negligence in Public:

We see negligent discharges a lot. Sadly. But that's not the entire point with this story as we'll see. The story takes place in Atlanta, GA and shows that a man was in a mall and “accidentally” fired his gun while adjusting himself (it doesn't say if he was adjusting the gun or something else, but I believe that to be the case).

Nobody was hurt during this incident and the premature discharger fled the scene and has not been identified as of this writing.

Before I get to the point I'm trying to make, let me first say that you should always use a proper holster and that adjusting yourself can be a cause for disaster if you're not using one. Furthermore, adjusting yourself is never a good thing because you may give away the fact that you're carrying a gun to begin with.

All bad stuff.

The point I want to make is that witnesses reportedly told police that the shooting happened after a dispute. This dispute was later found to be untrue by the police, but we need to keep in mind that witnesses never have the full story, and regularly make things up even if they don't mean to.

This is one of the reasons why we always need to line our ducks up in a row and make sure we're squared away. Now, the chances that this clown was illegally carrying a gun are high, but the point remains that any incident concerning a firearm is likely to have mixed reports and signals from those around us.

And of course, there is also always the chance that someone is going to lie to make you look bad for discharging your gun, even if you had reason to do so (for example, your life was in danger).

Source.

Conclusion:

These “what not to do” stories are important case studies for those of us who take carrying a gun seriously. Our main goal with the dissection of these stories, is to learn from them.

It's important to remember that we should only engage someone if human life is threatened because the jurisdiction you're in may not see your property as important as you do.

Also, put your gun in a holster, don't adjust it once it's there, and remember that bystanders almost never see things the way you do and will often give a false report of the circumstances as they happened.
