Thomas Edison
We can learn so much from others. Thomas Edison was a scientist and inventor with over 1,093 patents. He was also home schooled, fired from a few jobs and deaf from an accident. You probably think of the electric light bulb when we say Edison? The excerpt fro a article below demonstrates the perseverance and willpower of one. Can you relate to this? Take a moment to read the passage below and think about it.

Overload Principle
The overload principle states that in order to keep making gains from an exercise program, you must find some way to make it more difficult. This is because bodies adapt to exercise. The problem is that once your body adapts to a given workload, it will not continue to adapt unless the workload is increased somehow. If you do not continue to adapt, then eventually you will plateau and regress. Having stated that it is necessary to make conditioning programs more difficult, one caution should be kept in mind: you must observe specificity when applying the overload principle. Performing a set of twenty might be a way of making the workout more difficult, but if you need to enhance the phosphagen energy system then you are violating specificity. There are a number of ways to apply the overload principle to a strength and conditioning program:
- increase the weight lifted
- increase the volume of work
- change the exercises employed
- modify the order of the exercises
- alter the rest periods

Yard work is a great workout and helpful to your family!
By using the outdoors as your own personal gym you'll rake-in the benefits! Fresh air is always uplifting, especially in the Springtime. Being outside is a great way to relieve stress and relax. Plus, sunshine helps boost Vitamin D production, which aids in the absorption of calcium.
Heavy yard work is a great way to add variation to your regular exercise program, while light gardening can be great for exercise beginners. If you do yard work as a way to burn calories, take full advantage of what the great outdoors have to offer:
- Use a push mower instead of a riding tractor. This adds intensity so that you're working harder, elevating that heart rate, and burning more calories.
- If you are raking up leaves, change the movement and direction to make full use of your muscles. Rake in front of your body to target your shoulders. Rake both right to left and left to right to work both arms evenly. This way, you'll help prevent blisters by avoiding repetitive motions too.
- If you're using a wheelbarrow to haul yard waste, soil, or mulch, take an extra loop or two around your garden before you set your goods down.
- When digging, switch back and forth between hands so that you are utilizing both arms.
- Instead of using a small watering can, heave the heavy hose around the yard with you. You’ll also have to use those muscles to put it away and wind it up when you're done.
You may have experienced some aching muscles after working outside in the past, but there are actually several things you can do to prevent this soreness while still enjoying the outdoors:
- Yard work utilizes your major muscle groups just like any workout. So, always warm up first by simply taking a short walk around your yard or down the block to get the blood flowing to your muscles.
- Then, try some light stretches for your hamstrings and lower back (especially if you'll be doing a lot of bending).
- It’s a good idea to take a few breaks throughout the day to drink some extra water and do some additional stretching.
