I sleep with a big plastic wad in my mouth so I don't grind my teeth down to little nubs. I've tried cardio and HIT to reduce stress and there is no comparison - the endorphin buzz from HIT is so much better. I was amazed at how much better I felt after one of those workouts. It's incredible. And the best part is I no longer have to hide when I see Patty carrying her pillow. Yo Dave,

I saw a great deal of elderly patients. The patients that were the most active were the ones that were the healthiest. I decided that if I wanted to be one of those active octogenerians, I needed to get fit. That meant starting strength training. I started training and within 5-6 months, not only did I lose 25 lbs, I felt stronger and had more energy. At age 40, I had my first and only child, and now continue to have the energy to work full time, run after my five year old, maintain my weight, and work out twice a week. I am still shooting to be of those eighty year old ladies playing golf 5 days week and babysitting my grandkids on the other two days! That is why I do strength training!!! Hi Dave,

Occassionally, in the course of one day, I encounter mean people, angry people, negative people, bad drivers that almost kill me and maybe even a cashier or two that obviously hate their job and want to take it out on their customer, me! So, as hard as I try to protect a positive space, space invaders I encounter,break through my barrier and invade me. There is nothing better than walking into the gym with the urge to take a pillow and hold it over the face of the next mean person I encounter to walking out of the gym after a butt kickin work out not even remembering how I felt when I walked in the gym. HIT is a great stress reliver. Not sure if I should mention this, but if you didn't get it, these times are more prevalent during a certain time of the month. HIT is also a great "time of the month" get your mind and cramps under control. Sorry guys. How about Strees release.
