Your insights, and advise are refreshingly welcomed by this 61 year old who is just weeks away from beginning a new chapter in my life as a personal fitness trainer. That after 40 years in manufacturing and management. Quality of life is what is ultimately important and the pursuit of staying fit, both physically ans mentally becomes ever more important as we age. Personally I thank you for your positive attitude towards life. You provide inspiration for many I am sure.<br /><br />On a related note. I work at 85 - 90% of max heart rate with my cardio work outs and at 65% of maximal strength and between 12 and 15 reps and 3 to 4 sets of each lift. Basically strength endurance training. I find at 61 plyometrics and SAQ is quite challenging. But it can be done at some level.<br /> <br /> My hope is I will be able to help some in the "aging population" achieve their health and fitness goals.<br /><br />Thanks again KP. But I do admit yearning ever so occasionally for my bygone powerlifting days of yesteryear. :-)Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-46259863045736580802013-04-29T01:34:30.556-04:002013-04-29T01:34:30.556-04:00Good post, KP.

At the beginning of Solomon's reign, God appeared to him in a dream and asked what he desired from the Lord. Solomon asked for "a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong."<br />This pleased the Lord, who said, "Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be."<br />Solomon's great wisdom is displayed in the book of Proverbs, a series of sayings that cover most aspects of human life. Remarkably, <b>Solomon seemed to anticipate today's Liberals in these gems.</b><br />Of course, he did not use the word Liberal, but instead made repeated references to fools. <br />One immediately is reminded of a Liberal bloggers and their anti Conservative superficial ranting and raving — for example, the twisted ravings of a well-known female blogger.<br />"As a dog returns to its vomit, so a Liberal repeats her folly."<br /><br />© Dennis Campbe<br /><br />A Liberals once told me that racism is solely a Republican thing, but I didn't listen. They said that the "R" in republican stood for racist, but did I listen? Of course I didn't listen, and do you now why I didn't listen? Because what the Progressives have been saying about the Republican Party is now and will always be <b>"ABSOLUTE BS</b>"!! Progressives Democrats are still livering in a self created dream land. <br /> I've always said that racism or racial hatred isn't owned by either political party. But Progressives haven't figured that out. In their la la land childish way of thinking, they believe that the Democratic Party is all about racial harmony and diversity. They might be in need of a cold slap in the face to wake them up. One only has to read the racial hatred and rantings of that Idiotic wacko blogger called “The Question Man” to understand that .The Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04872395371665009310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-52809371627864087002013-04-28T17:33:55.613-04:002013-04-28T17:33:55.613-04:00Seen on Shaw’s blog,

Because some things that he says in his comments on Shaw’s page just turns my stomach! His allegiance to he (Shaw) is disgusting and loathing and detestable.

But from reading some of your comments I can tell exactly where you stand on this issue. And I can tell you that in the spectrum of my Son’s college expericance, in only his first year of college, he has already had these liberal professors saying stupid things in the classroom such as "Bush is a dumbass".<br /> Teaching in higher education typically attracts a certain type of person, and more often than not that person is liberal “crazy” professor who are Brainwashing our kids!<br /><br /><b>Shaw Kenawe said...</b><br />Yeah. I read that Anon over at FT's blog. Don't know who the person who wrote that is. But whomever it is, he/she visits my blog often, but is too scared to comment. Why do these jokers who detest liberals continue to read my blog and work themselves into such frothing rage? And then go to their conservative blogging pals and rant about what I write.<br />That's some weirdly sick behavior.<br />"I detest liberal values which I think are next to none when it comes right down to it.

As for the one, a man would praise her when he came to understand her; but the other is blameworthy: and they are wholly different in nature. For one fosters evil war and battle, being cruel: her no man loves; but perforce, through the will of the deathless gods, men pay harsh Strife her honour due. But the other is the elder daughter of dark Night, and the son of Cronos who sits above and dwells in the aether, set her in the roots of the earth: and she is far kinder to men. She stirs up even the shiftless to toil; for a man grows eager to work when he considers his neighbour, a rich man who hastens to plough and plant and put his house in good order; and neighbour vies with is neighbour as he hurries after wealth. This Strife is wholesome for men. And potter is angry with potter, and craftsman with craftsman, and beggar is jealous of beggar, and minstrel of minstrel.</i><br /><br />- Hesiod, "Works and Days"Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-1966258507037688952013-04-28T14:31:28.340-04:002013-04-28T14:31:28.340-04:00Thanks for the kind comments.

I don't run much anymore as my feet have been surgically repaired after the training volume required for Ironman triathlons. I do lift quite a bit but keep it to about 60% of max and no less than 10 reps. Always manageable. <br /><br />The other key is staying pretty lean, I have two herniated discs, and as Shaw knows, lean makes it easier on the knees, feet and spine. <br /><br />FT is a brilliant example of adapting with his approach to music. I'll leave that story for him to tell if chooses to. <br /><br />KPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788103894599339102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-45473950688414097762013-04-28T14:30:07.277-04:002013-04-28T14:30:07.277-04:00Apple, Miss White?<a href="http://thersitescorner.blogspot.com/2012/09/to-fairest.html" rel="nofollow">Apple</a>, Miss White?Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-46638849396877244802013-04-28T14:01:53.553-04:002013-04-28T14:01:53.553-04:00Good advice KP....Nice to visit her FT.

Still being young (37) I find it more fulfilling kicking up the cardio. It has just made me feel better. I even recently started biking. A far cry from the football days which parlayed into powerlifting. Through those sports along with my construction job, I have beaten the hell out of myself. But since I started with the swimming, biking, and occasional jogging, my body just feels better than it ever did using weights. I guess everyone needs to find their own feel good activities.

I started out republican and stayed that way. A lot of people say to be a extreme conservatism is to be selfish, and a racist. I take issue with that because I don’t view myself as either. <br />I am always open to discussion and willing to hear the other person's reasoning behind their positions. If I can recognize some measure of value in either a liberal or conservatives viewpoint, I am more than willing to think in that direction, but so far that has never happened...

Even if I attempt to train to do so, my knees tell me it's not going to happen.<br /><br />So what do I do? I adjust to the circumstances and get out there and walk--fast and for long periods of time. (You are the one who gave me this excellent advice a while ago.) I also take the stairs every chance I have (and that's a lot because I'm a frequent user of our public transportation--the subway system here in Boston.)<br /><br />And now that the good weather is back in New England, I'm able to ride my bike on the wonderful bike trails in and around Boston and Cape Cod.<br /><br />I can look back and remember with joy all the wonderful races I ran, but now that my knees limit me to walking, I can slow the pace down a bit and love what that adjustment is giving me.<br /><br />Thank you so much, Kevin. You and your work are very much appreciated.<br /><br />And I hope that the unkind negative remarks here will be as nothing more to you than dried up old leaves that blow away and make room for new growth.<br /><br />Peace.<br /><br />Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.com
