Today’s Training
MT class. 3 students + coach B. Worked on back roundhouse kicks and then movement drills. After that, mitt work and teep kicks. On the heavy bags, same combination as previously: 1-2-switch kick, 2-3-back kick. Disappointingly, no elbows, but I’ll drill those when I go in to train tomorrow.
After class I went home, started reading articles about genetics and/or obesity, clicked through to yet more articles about genetics and/or obesity, and looked up from my computer approximately three hours later. *sigh* Linking a couple of them below so you too can waste large chunks of time. I shudder to think what will happen to my productivity once I get a smartphone with a reading app.
– At Core Economics: “Magical Explanations of the Rise in Obesity?” by Paul Frijters. Quote: “All this is not to say that the causes of obesity are easily understood or that an understanding of biological mechanisms might not help us find that elusive diet pill, but center stage in an understanding of the problem must be our own choices: despite all our current knowledge of what makes us fat we keep choosing to eat more than we should and to exercise less than we should. We fail to adjust our habits, to avoid temptations and to surround ourselves with cues that would help us exercise more and eat less. We in full knowledge of what we could be doing, choose not to.”
