Kevin B. Quinn: Personal Trainer, NASM

MAGA? Your list of enemies grows long. Non Christians. Mexicans. Captured US Soldiers. Venezuelans. The Enemy from Within, Haitians. And now the Puerto Ricans. Meanwhile your list of supportive friends includes: The Proud Boys, the K*K and so many convicted felons.

I wrote this back in July 2020 during the pandemic and came across it tonight. Decided to repost it. There is so much anger and hate in our country and I don't want to be a part of any of it. Let your angels fly.

I can't support this opinion with scientific fact. I can't back it with medical research. And I can't prove it with fitness studies. But I am convinced that fear, anger, bitterness, resentment and hatred are every bit as detrimental to our physical well-being as eating a tub of shortening. I can't stop the grouchy man who's yelling at people in the drug store. I can't make people park their car in only one space. And I surely have no control over this virus or the news. But, I don't have to let the "grouch" in. I can walk away from people who act as if they are victims. I can vote. I can control my fear by taking reasonable health precautions. And no one has the power to make me angry unless I give them that power. Instead, I will be grateful for this life and all I have been given. I will celebrate when something good happens to my friends and family. I reserve the right to smile and laugh and say silly things. I will take care of my body with exercise. I will enjoy a Margarita or a donut or a bowl of fresh cherries. I will feel wonder when I see beautiful things and always cry good tears when something touches my heart. I will be friendly. I will say "hello" or "hey now!" And I will help people. I know that I will be healthier and happier because I choose to live this way. But I just can't prove it.

Either not enough MAGA evangelicals prayed for their savior, or their prayers weren't fervent enough to change the trial's outcome. Which is it?

Yep.

Clearwater Florida 1/2 Marathon this morning. I’ve trained hard, I have support and this beast is ready. (but I’m crazy nervous because this course has some ridiculous bridge hills).

Runners stretch with reach and rotate 5. Deep lunge to hammy stretch 6. Groin stretch with rock backs After watching this video and seeing how tight my hips are, I’ll be doing these with you 😭 If these looking interesting, save this post and try it out when you have time!
