Hoop it up

Leave a comment

This is probably what I need. Strengthening my core is certainly something that could use some improvement. I remember hula hoops from my youth. This device looked a little different.

Recently I tried a hula hoop at my grandson’s birthday party. I failed after a few attempts which made me think I’ve either lost my coordination or have really poor hip control.

All of this points to the need to challenge myself a bit more physically and get my muscle tone and coordination working a bit better.

Yesterday I got a good bit of physical activity. A little walking and some strength training at home. Let’s see if I can keep this going again today.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • There is a lot to be said for making your own schedule. I’ve noticed some people are troubled by it.
  • Companies that eliminate work from home are shorting themselves of good people on purpose.
  • To the kid who passed me on the shoulder on a motorcycle less than a half mile from the Ellicott City police station doing at least 55 in a 35. Dumb shit like that is going to get you killed.
  • And why are doing a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia?
