IN THANKS

Welcome everyone...wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with peace and joy and laughter. Since my youth, Thanksgiving has been my favorite Holiday. For me it's a day of appreciation for the people who have had an impact on my life. Friendship and love cannot be measured by fractions, a slide rule, scorecard or money. It's about caring and feelings. Some time ago I founded a company in memory of my father...H.U.G.S. helping, understanding, giving, serving. Love means other. My father often times would say, "water the flower before it dies." So, in thanks, wishing you a special day, 2018. Give someone a hug...always, Jimmy O

TRAINING WEIGHTS

Welcome everyone...questions galore re use of weights. When, where, why, how. Start by analyzing your body motion for a particular sport. Sprinting, running...1/2 lb. wts. to start. Wear just above your knees and not on your ankles. Why? Ankle wts. will throw your natural stride off. When legs are fatigued, they get heavy from the knee up. Doing one leg or two leg hops (4 directional) I wear 1/2 lb. wts. above the knee and ankles, 30 sec. and rest. Sprinting/running I wear wts. around my wrists no more than once a week. NO wts. within 3 wks. of competing. Jackets are excellent as is parachutes. Warning...don't overload jackets. Better light wt. than over wt. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com
