The News Today and the Workout

I look to make various comments on the news of the day at times and really today it just seems like a re-hash of a lot of the same old thing: Reaction to Trump saying one dumb ass thing or another, Hillary lying about her e-mail server and terrible things happening to normal people trying to live their lives in Syria and Iraq. Is football season starting soon?!

Seriously though, here is a sign that at times we can still have faith in humanity. It seems that after a brutal murder of an elderly priest in France, Muslims around the country are attending Catholic mass as a sign of solidarity and to denounce the actions of someone that claimed the killing in the name of Islam.

GO TIGERS! and the Workout

There was an amazing story the other day on the Sportscenter with Scott Van Pelt that everyone should watch. I know that football is a dangerous sport. People get injured everyday and the head trauma that causes CTE is terrible. I get that. But, for the folks who wonder what good comes out of a sport like football... please watch this video about the Benton Harbor Tigers and their retired 74-year old coach. Elliot Uzelac showed up and showed these kids what it is like to have someone care about them. There is no Cinderella in this world, but you will not be disappointed and if you are like me, you will probably get a little choked up.

Hand Release Push Up, 10 repetitions
Bicycle Crunch, 10 repetitions
PVC Wraparound, 20 repetition
Air Squat, 10 repetition
