I went for a massage session the day before. This lady masseuse was pretty good. I specifically asked for a good masseuse that really knows how to give a good strong massage, not those who just lightly press a few points and a general run through. I like those that really use their strength and know just what acupuncture points to press.
This lady was good. Today is my third day after the massage and I still feel the ache/pain on my back. I would have thought that the pain equates some blue black at the back and really feels that way. But I know that my back should not have any blue black at all if the massage was good. And my back is as good as before.
Almost no adolescents are meeting all four key obesity prevention behaviors eating five fruits and vegetables, spending less than two hours in front of the TV or computer, at least one hour of exercise and no sugar-sweetened drinks. Although some teens are meeting each goal separately, only 9 percent are eating the recommended servings of produce, according to a presentation today at the Pediatric Academic Society meeting in Toronto.

No, not that Spiderman 4 is coming out…
I went for a beginner’s class for indoor rock climbing last Sunday. Gave up a yoga class for that… but it was worth it. I am oldest in the group and yet I came out of the course practically muscle ache free ( except for two bruises on my knee and arm - which I am not even sure when I go them from ). Hey, I even conquered a wall that the rest of the gals in my group did not conquer ( I went with a group of 4 other girls… all at least 5 years younger than me… ) 
Hee hee…

Glorious headstand… still working my way towards that 
During Bo’s class last Thursday, he taught us how to go into headstand using another variation.
I tried the 2 basic ways of going into headstand, using the Ashtanga yoga way and the Hatha yogaway. Ashtanga way is by lifting both legs simultaneously into the headstand. This is more difficult for me as it requires tons of core strength. Besides by going up this way, the body may not be able to be entirely straight. The usual hatha way is to go into the pose by first bending one knee followed by the other slowly. So half way point is that you will be balancing in half headstand with legs bent in. Once you are balanced here, begin to extend the legs up ( either single leg at a time or both ). In effect, you will work your way up to the full headstand step by step.
