Television Statistics
According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day (or 28 hours/week, or 2 months of nonstop TV-watching per year). In a 65-year life, that person will have spent 9 years glued to the tube.
 

Here is the quickest and most effective way to create more time in your life. the "i'm too busy excuse" is lame and everyone knows it. people nowadays are creating their schedules and living their lives around their favorite television shows and watching their favorite sports teams. I'm an avid sports fan, but men, this next comment is aimed at you, how many fantasy football leagues are you in? how much timem, in addition to the tv watching, are you spending making trades, acquiring guys from the waiver wire, etc.....

my point is this, which i'm sure will ruffle some feathers because it makes them uncomfortable and will likely result in not so many "likes" on facebook, tv isn't adding one ounce of value to your life 99% of the time. i'm no so naive to think that one can't get some positive input from tv or a good movie a fraction of the time; however, we spend way too much time allowing the negative input from the 99.9% affect our minds. 

I can tell you this, at the end of your life, the last thing on your mind is going to be: 
1) Man, I wished I would have watched more grey's anatomy
2) Gee whiz, sons of anarchy really enlightened my life and i hope their is SOA in heaven.

What will likely be on your mind is this:
1) those 9 years i spent on the tv; i really dropped the ball on that one.
2) what if I would have spend those 9 years chasing after long-lost dreams and played with my kids more or spent more time with family or heaven forbid exercised a bit more? Perhaps it would have prolonged the life? Perhaps?

Life is an occasion folks, rise to it! Make a difference. get off your duff and out of your cave and do something that will impact another person's life for the better. i'll bet everything i have that it'll make you feel better than any episode of "grey's."  

Let’s face it, everyone is fascinated by a nice butt. In fact, some people
even become famous for having nice ones (J-Lo and one of the Kardashians);
however, how do you go about getting a nice butt? Why is it important to have a
strong, good functioning back side?

A good start towards getting a nice butt is getting off of yours in the first
place. At a very basic, yet essential level, in order for our butts to be doing
its job, we have to get up off our lazy butts and move around (there is an
exception to this in an exercise I’ll explain later). The primary function of
the butt is hip extension and abduction, as well as various stabilization
functions of the pelvis. In an area (hips/low back) where so many injuries
reveal themselves, how important do you think it is to have a strong, properly
functioning buttocks? Pretty darn important.

One of the biggest issues in people’s lack of glute development is the fact
that we sit on it all day long. Sitting puts our glutes in a lengthened position
while simultaneously shortening our hip flexors. If you do this on a regular
basis at your job or because you are lazy (sorry, no sympathy for laziness)
muscle imbalances develop at the LPHC (lumbo-pelvic-hip-complex). The shortened
hip flexors hinder the butt from its function of hip extension. Well if the butt
can’t extend the hip, what do you suppose will? If you said the low back or
hamstrings, you are right on the money! What do you suppose happens when these
muscles are forced to take on the role of hip extension because your butt isn’t
functioning as it should? You guessed it, low back and hamstring injuries.

So if you are one of those people who sits down for your job, or you are one
of the “lazy” ones, here’s a good strategy to start getting your bum functioning
correctly.

1) Foam Roll your hip flexors, quadriceps,
and IT bands, as these are likely overactive tissues.

2) Stretch the same areas that you just foam rolled

3) Isolate your butt and re-educate it on what it’s function is again, which is? (hip
extension and hip abduction)
 
4) Perform dynamic movements to get the glutes integrated in
functional movement.

Key Point: This is also a great strategy for you distance
runners out there, as the shortened stride you are accustomed to doesn’t allow
for good hip extension. You could use some good butt strengthening as well, and
it may help prevent an injury or three.
