Once again getting ready to watch my Penguins in a Game 7, this time for the ECF against the Ottawa Senators.

Someone hold my hand.

Here's a fun workout to do at home: Get a deck of playing cards, assign an exercise for each suit--- Pushups = Diamonds, Squats = Spades, Situps = Hearts, Jumping Jacks = Clubs

Shuffle the deck, and pull the top card. The number is the reps, the suit is the exercise. Pull a 6D = 6 push-ups.

Face cards are 15, Aces are 20.

Do the whole deck.

6D - Ha,.. not able to do a single currently - Though any exercise can be tailored to the current state - A full pushup may not be doable,.. but a modified - 'half' pushup could be. Start by standing two feet from a wall and perform the push up that way....

Any push-up counts as long as you're trying

Just a few things reading back through this thread:

-It begins and ends with diet. You can workout as much as you want, but if your diet isn't on point, the pounds aren't going to come off as quick. I eat super clean during the week and splurge a little on the weekend, and it's a fine balance for me. Also, having healthy snacks around is key, especially when I take my....cough MEDICINE cough....

-High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is shown to burn calories and fat at a higher rate than typical cardio. So you run/elliptical/row as fast as you can for a 30-60 secs, then walk/jog/whatever at a slower pace for 60-90 secs, repeat for 10-20 mins. I prefer it because of the variety as compared to just jogging for a long time.

-If running or jogging is hard on your joints, go for the elliptical. Great alternative with low impact.

-If you can't afford a gym membership, bodyweight exercises and kettlebell exercises are great alternatives. Push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and squats at a high volume can give you great results and a great cardio workout.

I held on to the high school mentality of being the biggest and strongest bro for too long, and now after a few injuries, I've reworked how I approach fitness and I'm in better shape at 31 than I ever was at 17.

I'm currently stressing over Game 7 between the Penguins (GO PENS!) and the Capitals (DIE OVI DIE!)

If you've never watched playoff hockey, I HIGHLY recommend you tune in to two solid Game 7 matchups: PGH vs. WSH and ANA vs. EDM.

There's nothing like the NHL playoffs, and Game 7's are always incredibly intense.

Los Angeles, today

I haven't had a cup of coffee in two months. I'm studying today so I figured it would benefit me. My brain feels completely super powered after a large coffee from Dunkin. What a crazy feeling.

I'm doing something like that, but instead of coffee, it's...ummm...green...and today is gonna be interesting.

So I assume that this guy still uses a paper filing system, a full filing cabinet, communicates ONLY via letter or telephone, has never bought anything online, and still drives a covered wagon...

It occurs to me that none of those things are actually secure at all.

I don't think they care about "security", as much as they care about "making it harder to figure out the terrible stuff we're doing."

All it cost ISPs was $30,000 for ol Jimbo to feel this way...

Currently listening to Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN." for the second time. Great album!

Still marinating on WrestleMania last night. So good.

Very cool!

It's so cool. When we see the kinds of programs this helps and the diversity that it attracts--not only in the programs themselves (I WANNA GO SAILING), but also in the students that engage in these--it's really amazing and worth it.
