What is a baby boomer?

People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.

Thursday

Not so good today. Although I slept well when I woke up my right hip was hurting so bad that I did not go to the gym. Maybe I should have if only to stretch and walk around but this was the worse it has ever been. Not sure what is going on. [...]

Wednesday

Lots of pain in my right hip this morning. Worked hard on stretching and activation prior to starting my circuit. I have really been analyzing my pain and I think that I have been assigning the term “back pain” to what may really be hip pain. Today there is a clear difference between [...]

Friday (Diastasis Recti)

I elected to do my class style workout tomorrow afternoon so no workout today.
Had my evaluation with the surgeon. A non-event. I have a Diastasis Recti, not a hernia.
Diastasis recti is a separation between the left and right side of the rectus abdominis muscle, which covers the front surface of the belly [...]

Thursday

Worked hard this morning. After the [...]

Tuesday (Class Style Workout)

This morning I started to do a CLASS STYLE workout. Dave took the classes Jim had been doing and further defined them for me. It was a lot more fun than just doing a circuit of a couple of exercises. Also, I did this in the fitness room where I had plenty [...]

“You can’t out-train a bad diet”

I am ready for a new start. During my talk with Dave this weekend he said “You can’t out-train a bad diet”. For some reason those words have hit me in the face. I simply must get a handle on my eating and it starts now.
We are changing up all [...]

Friday – 6 Month Checkup

Here are the results. No problems found. I am really pleased with the [...]
