Clear Eyes, Full Bellies.. Means it 's Time to Run

A post Thanksgiving thought. The average Thanksgiving meal equals 3,000 calories and 229 grams of fat (enough fat grams to almost bring your arteries to catastrophic standstill) according to The American Council On Exercise http://www.acefitness.org/ .

With another holiday just around the corner is it really the time to jump-start the new fitness routine in hopes of shedding the pounds we just consumed and of course the ones hanging on before that? Hmmm... time for another leftover piece of Pumpkin Pie.

These are some scary figures though.

“A 160 lb. person would have to run at a moderate pace for four hours, swim for five hours or walk 30 miles to burn off a 3,000-calorie Thanksgiving Day meal,” said Dr. Cedric Bryant, ACE chief exercise physiologist. “Many people start by snacking throughout the day and that combined with the meal can lead to a total caloric intake of 4,500. All holiday delicacies can be enjoyed so long as they’re eaten in moderation and combined with a proper exercise plan.”

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts Can't Lose..... Not So Fast.

So I started thinking ....

Best of the Best Martial Arts Championships and Starting Over

Well, after a 15 year hiatus I went back to competition status winning 1st place in forms last week. While the tournament name "Best of the Best" was kinda catchy... most of the competitors were anything but. That's not to diminish my accomplishment after 15 years of being out of the sport of Taekwondo. In fact, what the tournament did was put the taste to compete back in my mouth.. not just forms (poomse), but sparring.... Olympic style sparring. Which leads me to my next question. Can a 35 year old man saddle up again and compete with the big boys (big boys meaning the youth of the sport)?

If the answer is yes then I'm not quite there yet. Time is my worst enemy.

The link below provides some video from last Sunday's Best of the Best featuring a few of Master Lanre's students that attend Chang's Martial Arts www.changsmartialarts.com in Chicago. I of course start off the footage with my 1st place poomse. Enjoy-

As 2007 approaches and we muddle through life I'll provide occasional updates to that unanswered question.
