Michael Phelps Endorses Kellogg and Loses Respect of Nutritional Community - Babyboomeradvisorclub.com
Why is childhood obesity such an epidimic? Because of the PARENTS. Forgive me for being somewhat crass, but the next time you see a fat kid at the store I guarantee there's a fat parent following close behind, with a grocery cart filled with Pop Tarts and frozen pizzas and Twinkies and, yep, Frosted Flakes. I hold no grudges against Phelps for cashing in on what he's accomplished, and I refuse to blame him for "setting a bad example." If more parents took the time to act like proper role models themselves then most of these issues wouldn't exist in the first place. Sorry for my rant, but this stuff gets me fired up and I just wanted to throw that out there.
Nice post b christ!!!
Way to go Brilzy!!!!!
I tried to not time myself yesterday. I focused on my thruster form which normally really sucks after about 10 reps-I tend to overarch my back but yesterday I focused on the movement on each rep. When I finished, I called "time" but Joe remembered not to tell me...........until I got it out of him later on....
So starting today, I will try my best to not know my time for 30 days. Its really hard! I still plan on pushing hard, but really trying to focus more on my movement than just going fast...
I am taking a rest day today -
The "Loses Respect of Nutritional Community" part of the title is misleading. This isn't a news article, but rather a rant by a single person named Sharon who goes by the moniker "BabyBoomerQueen". Sharon is one of those shock blogger nuts who is trying to make a buck off blogging. Sharon is also a pretty large gal who in her profile professes her love of chocolate, cakes, and pies. She loves to cook and desserts are her favorite (because of her "sweet tooth"). She doesn't represent the "Nutritional Community" and certainly is in no position to criticize Phelps.
As for Phelps, more power to him.
50 DU's
40 situps
30 KB swings
20 ball slams
10 burpees
Total time 13:52 using 1.5 pood KB and 20# D ball. Great job Meg and thanks Amanda!
AMRAP 20 minutes of:
2 muscle-ups
4 handstand push-ups
8 KB swings (2 pood)
I scaled to muscle-ups with the blue band and HSPUs with one abmat. We also scaled the time to 15 minutes.
This was a brutal shoulder workout but I liked it a lot. Afterwards Ricky had us try unassisted muscle-ups and after a few failed attempts I finally got my FIRST! I am pumped about that since I have wanted to be able to do them since I started CrossFit back in April! Great rest day!!!
Nice work Veronica doing the WOD twice...you are a machine!
