Sunday Mornin, you sure looked fine.....

You had to be there! 2007 Hot Air Jubilee at its finest. There is nothing like getting up early for the 7am balloon launch. I took video from my Treo phone, but I cannot figure out how to upload it to share with you...sorry about that.

Summer time is a great time to start a fitness HABIT, so you're hooked for winter at staying fit. I am working diligently at my Kettlebell practice for my certification in October. Making my first trip to pickup "hand care" items today to take care of the blister and callus on palm of hands, but it's all good! Here are some 25 best fitness tips for giggles and truth!
25 fitness tips from Covert Baily
Some I agree with, some I don't. But overall it's very balanced perspective. I wonder what would happen if someone gave him a KB (kettlebell).

1 Exercise. If exercise were a pill, it would be the most widely prescribed medicine in the world.
2 Eat a balanced diet, lower in fat, lower in sugar and higher in fiber.
3 Diets don’t work. Exercise is the bottom line behavior for weight management.
4 Throw away your scales. Measuring your body fat is a better indicator of health than your weight.
5 When trying to lose fat, aim for a maximum of 2 pounds a week.
6 If spot reducing worked, people who chew gum would have skinny faces.
7 Crash dieting, over exercising and fasting will slow down your metabolism.
8 People don’t stop exercising because they grow old, they grow old because they stop exercising.
9 It’s easy to lose weight. The challenge is to keep it off. Exercise works.
10 Don’t worry so much about your heart rate when you exercise. Use common sense and pace yourself so you can talk.
11 When you exercise, remind yourself, “I’m building fat-burning enzymes.”
12 If you get out of breath when you exercise, you’re going too fast.
13 One of the best ways to reduce stress is to exercise.
14 The older you are, the more important it is that you exercise. Exercise makes bones denser. Exercise helps maintain mobility.
15 Labels don’t lie, but liars write labels.
16 Statistics are like bikinis. They only reveal half the truth.
17 Upper-body weight training will help women maintain lean body mass.
18 More muscle equals less workout time.
19 Don’t say, “I don’t eat red meat.” Say, “I don’t eat greasy meats.”
20 There’s no such thing as cellulite. The word was dreamed up by people with products to market to describe skin with texture that shows underlying fat on some women more than others.
21 The best aerobic exercise is the one you’ll do every day.
22 The best time to exercise is when you will do it.
23 If you don’t seem to be getting more fit, you may be exercising too hard.
24 If you exercise more than 45 minutes 5 days a week, you aren’t doing it for fitness sake.
25 Beware of medically monitored diet programs. If you need a doctor, there must be something wrong.

Diane,
That's funny you mentioned calluses. I just asked for some tips on my blog. Let me know if you get any good ones! Thanks!

Hi Kettlebell lady
I went and purchased some Cornhuskers Oil, hoping it will help. Also trying to tape my hands, but am finding that using a pumice stone and keeping it "sanded" down seems to work best. Rif and Tracy had some previous posts on hand care that helped. Also tried gloves with fingers cut out, not sure I like those either, but let me know if you find something good!
