Have you noticed how few bumper stickers there are out there these days? Probably a result of the unfortunate demise of the chrome bumper. I liked Kill Your Television, but probably my all-time favorite was Hard Work Must Have Killed Somebody. But what's with all the killing? If you have an old favorite, let me know what it is in a comment.

Weight-lifters often design their workouts around total weight. So 10 reps of 100 pounds equals 1000 pounds. A workout can be intensified by increasing reps, sets or weight. In this example, the goal would be to lift more than 1000 pounds in total, say by doing 11 reps which would (obviously) equal 1100 pounds. The woodpile pictured above easily weighs more than 1000 pounds. Each stick of wood had to be lifted, carried a bit, then tossed into the pile (medicine ball style). Quite a workout--at least that's what my sore back is telling me.

I know my sister is doing Hot Yoga and running with a brain surgeon at 4 a.m. (She should have her own blog, I know). If anybody else has any interesting work-out stories, please share them in a comment.

Lastly, if anybody wants a dollar, just leave a comment and I'll send you a buck (one per customer).
