Run to Win

The Health and Fitness blog has an animated picture of a swiss ball bench press. Back in March, I wrote an animated How To for the swiss ball bench press. If you have not given this exercise a try yet, then I highly recommend that you do.

It does not seem like a complicated thing to tie your shoes. A simple bow tie is all it takes, right? For everyday use, that is all you need. For running, it just is not enough. I’ll show you how to tie your shoes so that you never have to worry about a knot that won’t come out or a shoe lace that always comes untied.

You could run for 3 or 4 years and never have a problem, but that first time you will still curse your shoes out. A regular bow tie can easily come undone, which leads to an unsafe situation. If your shoes are not tied, then your foot will move around a lot more inside the sneaker. This will only gets worse as the laces loosen more with each step that you take. You also run the risk of stepping on your laces, having somebody else step on your laces, or getting your laces caught in your environment somewhere. This tends to lead to falling down, which is a good thing to avoid.

Okolo has decided to have his own set of animated exercises on his website (much like I have done), and he has begun with how to do pushups.

He has an animation of himself doing a pushup, along with instructions of how to do them. He also explains how to do handstand pushups.

Along with my own animated version of how to do pushups, you can also see how to do assisted pushups for those that are not yet comfortable doing regular pushups.

Bud Gibson expanded upon my normal bridge and swiss ball bridge articles to show how to do a swiss ball bridge with a knee tuck. I am definately going to have a go with this exercise; it never even occurred to me to try something like this.
