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.

070109 – 1st of July ‘Tabata Intervals’

Crossfit at 6AM. Steve, Kelly, Eric, Connor, Angie, Miranda, Dave with Brian and Jerry coaching.

Had a real bad night sleeping. I tossed and turned so much I almost knocked myself out a couple of times. The issue with my right heel is really starting to get old.

Worked hard on the WOD this morning. Felt confident with the KB Swings and the Push Jerks. I modified the burpees by using the 6 inch box for my hands rather than going all the way to the floor. I was able to make up points with the Push Jerks.

If you don’t know what Tabata Intervals are here is a demo video using squats as the movement.

A tabata interval workout using bodyweight squats. Tabata intervals consist of 8 x (20s on / 10s off) of a given exercise or activity. They can be useful for general conditioning or endurance activities.

Charlie was at the gym again this morning for another workout getting ready for the games. The fund raiser is Friday evening. I have not heard a final count yet but based upon what I have been able to pick up we should have a good size crowd on Friday.

Eating—17 days doughnut free. Doing good on plan. Have not weighed myself yet. Maybe I will never weigh myself again. In the long run it does not make any difference what the scale says.

What hurts today—Anxious for the right heel issue to resolve. I have experienced this before and I know it will pass but it’s very painful and very hard to walk when I get up in the morning. Fortunately the other pain I experience during my WOD’s cancels out the heel pain, at least during the workout.

Enjoying my vacation time. The weather has become overcast with some showers.

  • Nice work today Terry. Be sure to stretch out the heel before putting weight on it in the morning, and use a frozen water bottle for massage during the day for pain relief and inflammation control

  • Debbie

    Sorry to hear about the heel. Hope it improves quickly. I laughed at your … Maybe I will never weigh myself again… I really have found the less often I weigh – the better! Hope you are enjoying your vacation :)
