Acting US surgeon general: Physical inactivity is major public health issue
“If we’re going to survive as a nation, if we’re going to thrive as a nation, we really have to change that focus on sickness and illness to one of health, prevention and wellness..” – Surgeon General Boris Lushniak

Walking Lunges
This is my favorite lower body exercise which targets the quadriceps and glutes. It can be performed with no additional weight, dumbells or a barbell. The basic exercise is performed as follows:
1. Begin standing with your feet shoulder width apart and a barbell across your upper back.
2. Step forward with one leg, flexing the knees to drop your hips. Descend until your rear knee nearly touches the ground. Your posture should remain upright, and your front knee should stay above the front foot.
3. Drive through the heel of your lead foot and extend both knees to raise yourself back up.
4. Step forward with your rear foot, repeating the lunge on the opposite leg.
The job is what you do when you are told what to do. The job is showing up at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed.
Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can. The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it’s a job.
Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.
