  • 4-Minute Rapid Fat Loss Cardio Interval Workouts at Home! - Everybody's Got At Least 4 Minutes To Workout! In the real world, there will be days when we simply do not have enough time to perform the ideal full-length 20-minute interval cardio workouts (not including a highly recommended 5-minute warm-up and cool-down). In most instances, the typical approach we take is to just skip the workout altogether. The flawed assumption here is that no significant results can occur in less than 30 minutes anyways. However, this could not be further from the truth! Both our clients and we have discovered just how much can happen in 4 minutes with the right approach to training. So basically, there is no room for excuses as we all have at least 4 minutes on any given day to workout ;) It's not about time... IT'S ALL ABOUT INTENSITY! The key to these cardio interval workouts is INTENSITY.
  • Too Intense? I Think Not - I'm about 8 years old and I'm playing a new game at my favorite hang out, the Milwaukee Boys Club. The game involves flipping football cards. One person puts up the number of cards that he is willing to play and the other person matches it. The picture of the player is heads and the back side with the stats is tails. The object of the game is to match what the other player throws and then you win all the cards. This was the first night that I learned how to play the game.

  • Makita Impact Wrenches - Makita Impact Driver Makita 6936FD is the most popular 18V Cordless Impact Driver on the market today. Ion battery and optimum charging system produces 280 percent more lifetime work with 2x more cycles. It features a 4 pole motor with dual steel ball . I chose the Makita because of the price for a 5 piece kit compared to say that of a DeWalt five piece kit. Also Makita’s solution of offering the same driver with a less capable battery at a lower price point is just plain dumb.
