The Importance of Elbows in Both Self-Defense and Competition Fighting
In today's world, where self-defense knowledge can save your life and possibly others around you, it's good to know the tools at your disposal, especially the ones that can stop an assailant in their tracks and get you out of harm's way fast. Perhaps the most efficient of these tools is the elbow.

It is the start of a new year, and with it comes resolutions. Many will join traditional gyms while others will start new diets, all in the hopes of getting fit or losing weight. We all know maintaining a healthy lifestyle has been associated with providing many health benefits, but it does take a lot of work and many will give up just a few weeks later.

So get this; it’s October 31, 2017. It’s Halloween, Tuesday night. I’ve been consumed with this evening for the last week and a half and not only because it’s a deeply cherished holiday of mine.

I Tried the "One Punch Man" Workout for a Week
100 Push Ups. 100 Sit Ups. 100 Squats. 10 Kilometer Run. EVERY. DAY. These are the workout guidelines for Saitama (AKA One Punch Man) the bald protagonist of One Punch Man, who wields godlike powers that allow him to destroy virtually any enemy, in especially violent fashion, with a single punch. Created by the mysterious manga author ONE, One Punch Man is a satirical take on the cliches of popular superhero manga like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto. Despite the original intent of parody, One Punch Man has found a surge of popularity that has launched it to the same Triple-A status as the titles it satirizes, complete with its own anime series streaming on Netflix. For those familiar with the lore, Saitama is an average looking, bald man who might just be the most powerful being in the universe, thanks to his trusty regimen of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run every day for 3 years WITHOUT REST. Allegedly, this workout routine can give you the power to fight androids, cyborg animals, monsters, space aliens, kaiju, and other colossal titans with just ONE PUNCH. I decided to try it for a week and see if this routine could help me give Goku a run for his money (That's a Dragon Ball Z reference for those of you who aren't nerdy), and this is what happened.

Growing up I put gymnastics first above everything else from school to even eating. I lived and breathed gymnastics. Along with gymnastics I did clubs and dance. I got homeschooled for two years to pursue a further career in gymnastics but that fame to a hault when my gym closed.

Running isn't as complex as other exercising methods, but it's also one of the best ways to work out. Not only are you strengthening your bones, but you're building cartilage, heightening hearing, reducing risks of heart disease, and helping migraines. Running is great for keeping you looking younger and feeling more healthy.

How Every Runner is a Good Runner
Running, in its basic form, is putting one foot in front of the other with a lot more effort than walking. It takes a considerable amount of effort, both mentally and physically, to commit yourself to the difficult but intrinsically fulfilling happiness which creates the epitome of elegance and strength.
What Is Better for You? Cycling or Running
Cycling and running are two of the most popular endurance sports worldwide. There are many aspects of each which make them attractive; notably the health and social benefits. You wouldn’t think that two such positive activities would have such a divide, but this seems to be the case. Or rather, this is what some would have you believe.
Evan LewisPublished 7 years ago in LongevityHow to Choose a Running Shoe
The most important thing a runner needs is shoes. A lot of novice runners flock to the wick-away shirts, spandex leggings, or iPod armbands; but the truth is, these things don’t help you become a better runner if you aren’t wearing good shoes.

The first time I ever played disc golf was the result of a friend of mine bugging me about it for a good month solid. He kept telling me about this thing where you take Frisbees that aren’t actually Frisbees and throwing them around in the woods.
