Parkinson’s: When Someone in Your Family Has It

Yes, it is a serious health condition and there are no cures for it but believe me living with a family member with Parkinson’s is possible. I am not someone who preaches a lot of stuff. I have learned my lessons the hard way. I have a long history of trial and error, repeating the mistakes and eventually realizing what actually works. My mother has Parkinson’s for the last three years. Yes, at times, things get too difficult, particularly now that she has suffered a hip fracture. However, I have channeled my energy towards helping her recover and manage her condition rather than waste time searching for answers like “WHY God did this to us?”…what has happened cannot be undone, so I might as well get on with it. Like some folks say-Life Happens!!

Deadlifts: No Escaping These for All Round Strength and Endurance

Deadlifts are Best for Overall Gains | #LoveLegDay

Deadlift is often called an Old World exercise that can take its toll on the knees and the back. However, I believe that it is among the safest and the most effective ways to add some serious bulk. You just cannot gain all-round, comprehensive fitness without a fully-body workout. Deadlifts are among the best options in this niche along with weighted squats and bench pressing, though benching is more about the pectorals and arms rather than the entire upper body. I consider deadlifts to be the most critical exercise for the lower body and I mean the entire lower body, including lower back, glutes and hams.
