Competition for Better Fitness

Kris Jones — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:02:07 +0000

If you’re still having trouble getting past your plateaus, whether they be weight loss or weight lifting, try bringing in your competitive spirit into the equation. When you against you isn’t enough, challenging a friend or family member can increase your feelings of accountability and provide the extra motivation to get you in the gym and in shape.

The only way a competition works is if you’re very specific about the parameters and measurements. Loose goals with no clear cut winner will only lead you back to where you were before. Instead, write down what it takes to win including weight or measurements and/or date. If you and your opponent both take the competition seriously, you will both reap the rewards from competition.

The challenge shouldn’t be too long or you might lose sight of the end. I recommend 2 months until the end with challenging but reachable marks (or just straight up who does better). If you do this right, you’re going to see results win or lose.

Lawrence Taylor on Dancing with the Stars

Aren’t we all rooting for Lawrence Taylor on Dancing with the Stars? He looks so uncomfortable! I just want to give him a big hug and help him along. Well this week should be extra special because another football player and former Dancing alum Warren Sapp has given the original LT some encouragement.

According to People, Sapp’s advice was that, “You can’t worry about the judges. You just go out there and have fun. If you’re not having fun then why do the show?”

So true. Part of not being so stiff is just relaxing and enjoying yourself. Here’s a clip from LT on the show:

Hopefully this week he’ll feel more at east. Even so, do you think LT has a chance of winning?

Congratulate Milo on the occasion of Windows Vista Weblog finishing 6th in the Best Windows Vista Site competition.

The office has been a bit desolate for a while. So Colleen is taking over Office Tweaks. Join me in welcoming him.

Jason introduces us to the Super Bowl Single Girl. Pardon the dumb question, but why would anyone want to raise $3M and pay it to some television network? Aren’t Mr. Right’s for sale anymore? The big cynical question is: what if she realizes that she isn’t interested in Mr. Right? This comedienne is funny. So I wish her the best.

Claire wants you to take the Linux Graphics Survey 2008. What’s in it to you? Take these tips for Ubuntu users as a gift.

Jason has a tutorial to easily import table data into Excel from, say, a web page. Could use it some day, but I’m more interested in the reverse process.

How would you feel about a URL that is mysterious about what it can contain? I think it can be one of the types of spam. Jayvee thinks that stripping away those preconceptions can also be a refreshing browsing experience. A debate is slowly brewing up at his post. Come join us.

Juan is excited that Barack uses Mac. I’m more excited about this MacBook X-ray. What a geek!
