DANG BOSTON!!!!!

I am not a huge fan of professional basketball, but I was all for the Boston Celtics in the Final NBA game. I just want someone else to win the title for a change. Yes, the Lakers have 5 championship rings, but they are not the only team to exist. After all where do you go from the championships besides getting more money, endorsements, etc. I mean, we get it!!! Or am I just sour that the Celtics lost?

Weight Training is ESSENTIAL

Weight training is common type of training to develop strength and the size of your muscular skeleton. Weight training is used in a variety of methods and specialized equipment to target certain muscle groups and types of movement.

Weight training is apart of bodybuilding, Olympic lifting, powerlifting, and strongman, which are sports rather than a certain exercise. It is also a safe form of exercise when the movements are slow, controlled, and carefully defined. However, as with any form of exercise, improper execution and the failure to take appropriate precautions can result in injury.

The benefits of weight training overall are comparable to most other types of strength training: increased muscle, tendon and ligament strength, bone density, flexibility, tone, metabolic rate, and postural support. There are benefits and limitations to weight training as compared to other types of strength training.

I love my state even though I live in Atlanta. The University of Texas has remained in the Big 12. It goes to show you that no amount of money can buy this State. LOL. We make our own rules and regulations! :)

I am just tired of all the turning and twisting of collegiate sports. Whats wrong with what is right now? Oh, I get it.. MONEY!!!

Marion Jones Basketball Journey is Humbling

Marion Jones has been through hell and back in dealing with her doping charges that landed her 12-15 months in Federal prison for lying to officals. In her release, she challenged herself to enter the WNBA, knowing she has not played in 13yrs. I am her biggest fan. I believe everyone deserves a second chance. Indeed, noone is perfect and that includes professional (celebrity) athletes.

Her basketball journey has humbled her more than anything. She has to be a bench cheerleader to the rest of her teammates. Jones plays an average of 10 minutes a game and her personal stats are not worth even sharing. I believe she has to earn that trust all over again to fans of the sport and that of her teammates. But she has drew in more crowds due to the fact everyones wants to see how she adjust. I mean she is a former Olympic track and field champion. The girl has talent, period!!

Did I mention she has 3 children.....
