I saw this on a poster at a school I teach at and though people may be interested in a Japanese version of the food pyramid or in this case a food cone. It is being introduced by Pikachu, so the information is (I think) aimed at children. Obviously it is no big surprise to see that variations of rice and ramen are shown in the largest to eat carbohydrate category, but It is interesting to see that fruit and dairy are the foods that should be eaten least.

Just because you have a certain level of fitness when you do your normal physical training, it does not necessarily mean that you will be able to demonstrate a similar level of fitness when you do another activity. For example, if you normally cycle for your fitness, you train your body to be efficient and effective when you are on a cycle but when you need to run (unless you also run regularly,) you may find that your cycling fitness does not cross over to the same level.
This does not mean that your training is totally wasted on another activity, only that your body has adapted to a certain movement pattern and set of demands. Once you train the new movement patterns, you will find that your previous training has paid off.

If you want a fun way to increase your grip strength and the strength and co-ordination of your forearms, I think you should check out the Powerball. Coupling a small gyroscope and your muscles, the Powerball is a highly addictive training tool. The more effort you put into the Powerball, the faster the gyroscope spins and the more your muscles feel the effects. I envisage it being very useful for anybody playing a racquet sport, baseball, cricket and martial artists. The manufacturers also state that it is useful for carpal tunnel syndrome. I think it is great fun and it does give me a serious forearm pump. If you have a chance, give one a go.

If some people eat one food not on their plan, their failure to be perfect sets in motion a psychological chain of events that leads to frustration and the inability to get right back on the plan. The all-or-nothing mentality sets in and BAM, they’re back to nothing. But it doesn’t have to be this way. 100% nutritional discipline is never required for optimal progress. The difference, in results, between 90% adherence to your nutrition program and 100% adherence is negligible. So allow yourself the extra 10% wiggle room. This will allow you the freedom to eat a few extra things not on your menu without the guilt and subsequent crash.

When I was a child, I used to love to use the monkeybars. Unfortunately there are not too many sets of monkeybars around any more,(the joys of our society). If you think about what you can do on a set of monkeybars, you can see that they can give you a great upperbody workout and really work the flexibility and mobility of the shoulder girdle.
There has been a move over the last few years away from the standard weight training workout toward a more functional, fun approach based on similar movements to the “workouts” we had as children. One of the movers and shakers in this area is Jon Hinds and his Monkeybar Gym.
In this video, John demonstates some good training options while in a playground.
If you like what you see, the Monkeybar Gym has a set of DVD’s available on their training. I will review these shortly. To check them out click on the image below.
