Fitnesstraining für Couch-Potatoes: Workout auf dem Sofa

Leipzig - Nach der Arbeit noch ins Fitnessstudio hetzen, um die lästigen Kilos loszuwerden? Das fällt gerade in der kalten und dunklen Jahreszeit schwer. Das heimische Sofa versprüht dann meist viel mehr Anziehungskraft. Doch wie das Nachrichtenportal www.news.de berichtet, ist das selbst für Couch-Potatoes keine Ausrede mehr. Das Sofa-Workout von Autorin und Sportwissenschaftlerin Doris Burger ist ein Fitnesstraining für Faule, die zwischen Fernsehen und Abendessen noch schnell ein paar Kilos abtrainieren möchten.

Während der Vorspann der Liebesschnulze oder des Krimis läuft, beginnt das Workout mit einfachen Übungseinheiten im Sitzen. Daran schließt sich das...

Mobilizing couch potatoes. (Getting some action)

In the process of creating macro change and incentivising participation, I've learned the hard fact that while all see the value of change, few are willing to pay the high price.

This is a global issue on every front that applies to and confronts every change agent. From the economy to the ecology, to education, apathy is a global issue that places the few and the passionate on bloody frontlines with no meaningful support.

My agenda is to vividly paint out how to extract value from even the most flacid couch potatoe. My agenda is to illustrate how to squeeze blood from turnips. No matter what your personal initiative, there must be a solid supporting pyramid behind you to achieve it. But like a pyramid, not every tier needs to be expected to provide the same level of support.

Drawing from pre dot com experience and three years of experience extracting every drop of value from penniless, self-entitled, freeloading, 20k+ youtube teen subscribers (as you can see from the critical comments saying I should give away all my ebooks and mp3s for free), my agenda is to show how to identify each tier of a web viewer base. Then, arm my fellow change agents with the munitions needed to surgically extract* maximum value from every tier of their web readership. This means sensitizing CEOs to convert social capital into legal tender where financial capital is not forthcoming. My agenda is to prove that you can squeeze blood from turnips because it is now necessary.

If you want me to help you personally reach your goals: Twitter social media forum

Yours,

* while I use dramatic language for impact, your relationship with your web viewership must be sustainable. They must be happy to let you "extract value" from them. In other words, you must let them extract just as much if not more from you... (by giving back more than you took)

busy busy busy

Late last week by busy busy schedule started up once again. It's times like this when I rely heavily on my planner.

Last Wednesday and Thursday I worked at Make-A-Wish in the Detroit office. Right now I'm coordinating police assistance with the Wish-A-Mile 300 Bicycle Tour (WAM). Then on Friday I went to the beach with Courtney, Annie, and Olivia... but it was way too chilly to go swimming so we only stayed for a few hours then went home.

Saturday was the 4th of July so Courtney and I went out to my uncle's lake house in the Irish Hills with my parents and the rest of my extended family. We ended up camping out in their yard and spending all day sunday hanging out and swimming and whatnot. It was probably the best weekend I've had so far this summer. It was nice and relaxing and I got a lot of sun!

Today, I was back at MAW so that I could call and talk to more police officers and tomorrow will probably be the same. I am working all day (9am to 9pm) at the Wyandotte Street Fair with my uncle so this leaves Wednesday as my only day off this week. Wednesday will be a fun filled day of laundry and packing because early early Saturday morning my parents are I are leaving to go out to our cottage in Indian River for a week. And I will probably be doing a whole lot of MAW work while I am there since WAM is right after I get home and I am super super busy.

Three days after I get home from vacation I will be leaving and driving all over the state working the MAW's Wish-A-Mile Bike Tour for 4 days. As soon as I get back from WAM, I am house/dog sitting for one of my uncles for an entire week. After i get back from house sitting, I have 6 days to have all of my belongings packed and ready to move back to Grand Rapids.

I just have to remember to breathe.

And here are some pictures like usual. Pictures are from the Detroit Science Center, fireworks over Devils Lake, and a baby Pom shaved to look like a lion.
