Cam Newton has certainly has taken a beating from the media and other critics. He has now shut everyone down again with winning the Heisman. Congrats Cam!!! I think he is the best athlete this year barnone. Some may disagree, but check his stats. Anyway, with all the allegations that were surrounding him and his father was a sure sign of destruction, but he rose like a true class act athlete. May he continue to have a great future in football and grow as man of God.

STRETCH and STRENGTHEN


Guess What? Dumbbells can undo your tight spots. The firmers below were shown to increase overall flexibility by 92% in five weeks in a study at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. Researchers say that contracting, then relaxing a muscle allows it to stretch more than it did pretoning. Try four sets of 10 reps each move; what have you got to loosen?


Shoulders:- Stand holding a barbell in front of chest, elbows bent, palms facing forward by shoulders; press arms overhead. Lower barbell behind head to touch upper back.

Hip Flexors:- Lunge forward with left leg, bending knee 9 degrees, and lower right knee to floor. Return to standing; repeat with right leg to complete 1 rep.

Butt:
- Stand
with feet just wider than shoulder-width apart and toes pointed out 45 degrees, then bend knees until thighs are slightly lower than parallel to floor.

Hamstrings:- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a single dumbbell in both hands in front of hips. with back flat, hinge at waist to lower weight toward floor.
