Working the body
At some point in our lives, we stop to think if we could become better at what we do physically. May it be fixing our posture, refining our walk or just simply getting rid of some bad habits we’ve developed. Whatever the reason the main goal for such a change is to feel better. Some might argue that there are people who do it to look better but I believe that looking better and feeling better go hand in hand. Your inner wellness will be reflected in your outer physical shell.
For the past week I committed to following a workout schedule/regime concocted by Julien Greaux from BodyBuilding.com. The workouts are designed around the use of minimal gym equipment utilizing one’s body weight as the main resistive force. I had set a goal of working out for a minimum of four days in the week with a day of rest every two days. I managed to work a total of three days before succumbing to my lack of discipline and general laziness. This test has only been associated with the workout part and not the type of foods to be consumed to provide maximum effect of your workouts.
Here is the video to day one of the five day work out routine done by Julien Greaux.
All of his videos can be found at the following link: Videos
I plan on following this work out plan for the remainder of the month of October and review my progress.
World Press Photo 2011
I was lucky and privileged enough to attend the World Press Photo 2011 exhibition yesterday evening with a few friends. I’d been hearing about this event on the news for the last few years and was always in awe at the quality and depth of the images displayed each year. This year Montreal was the host city and it was being held at the Marché Bonsecours in the Old Port.
The expression “pictures are worth a thousand words” pales in comparison at the range of emotions one might go through when viewing the collection of best picture in this year’s edition. Some might say that the general feeling and theme of the images was that of violence, death and despair. But, as one goes through the whole exhibition, you realize that those are but a fraction of what is being depicted in the portraits and landscapes.
Unfortunately, the event ends today Sunday October 2nd 2011. For those who did not know or were unable to attend the event can still enjoy and be moved by the images by visiting the official website: World Press Photo
