Long bone growth in the arm, forearm, thigh, and leg, ceases later and smaller bone growth in the hands, feet, and spine, ceases earlier. In essence, you’re as tall as you’re going to be by your mid-to-late teens, and at the latest, by approximately age 20 or so. A great [...]

The concept of a so-called long game is interesting in that it implies a more than common degree of patience and a commitment to outcomes that are evaluated over decades and generations, rather than months or years. Importantly, strategies and tactics that produce desired results in the [...]
The ” how to get strong abs” rule. As a result of this not-so-subtle imperative, a flat abdominal musculature is one of the primary goals of all exercise programs. Flat abdominals have great aesthetic appeal, not only to the “owner” of those abs but also to the female or male’s spouse or partner.

Whether you’re going out for a walk or a run, to the gym to lift weights, or to the pool to swim a few laps, the self-affirmation involved in the concept of “going out” or “going to” something for the sake of exercise is quite substantial.

The golden ratio (1.618), derived from the Fibonacci sequence, is demonstrated in flower petals, pine [...]
An adult human spine typically consists of 26 moveable segments: seven cervical vertebras, twelve thoracic vertebras, five lumbar vertebras, one sacrum, and one coccyx (tailbone).

Intervertebral discs comprise about 25% of the height of an adult spine. Intervertebral joints connect vertebras and these [...]

In the film classic “The Empire Strikes Back,” the iconic Jedi master Yoda inscrutably refers to “the Force” during training sessions with his disciple, Luke Skywalker. Yoda informs Luke that he “must feel the Force around you.” Yoda himself is frequently seen assuming what may only be described as intergalactic yoga poses. Elsewhere in the film, Luke offers this Jedi-type benediction to the departing Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca, [...]
