I think my response time has increased too after my exercise regimen of p90x dvd workout or insanity and a sprinkle of jump rope with jump rope dudes. Atleast two times I caught things that slipped out of one hand, without skipping a beat. I was going for a spice box wiht the right hand, it slipped. I caught it with my left hand. Bravo!!

Ready for More



I did about 30 min of elliptical and thought I was going for the 60 min, 10 year younger feeling. Then I realised, as a gymizen, I had some responsibility of using a machine only for 30 min. But I knew I had this blood rushing from the Spanish pop, I knew I could do more. I went for p90x plyometrics. I did mean Airborne Heismans. Faster game day hudles and switches. I wish you such a powerful day where you feel you can do more than you can.

So many heart rates
