Ready to pump you up

No sexual innuendos, Harvey. Russell Wardlow posted a link about self-resistance training. If the isometric stuff looks familiar, it should. The old "Look Like Charles Atlas!" ads in comics used to push this type of training to prevent bullies from kicking sand in your face. I never understood the message because all self-respecting bullies in my day carried firearms. Getting close enough to punch them in the kisser wasn't a viable option. Anyhoo, body-weight strength training has been around a long time and can be pretty effective. Like anything else, it involves discipline and commitment.

I wonder what the Alliance fitness instructor thinks about this type of exercise?

1 Actually, you should e-mail her with that. It's a question I also wonder about, and she needs an excuse to blog more. You might also ask her about exercise balls - which only sound dirty. My wife swears by them, and I use one a little bit myself. Those suckers put a SERIOUS hurt on you. In a good way.

2 I've owned and used an exercise ball for a while. Runner's World had a great article on using one to firm up the abs. Any idea that might get Heather blogging again is a good one. I'll drop her a line and see what happens.
