Lower body day

It was quiet in the gym last night, and hot. I was a sweaty mess by the time I finished the first round of leg extensions, and not just because I took the weight up. Even after all the squats and presses, I still felt good enough to try keeping the weight up for the second round. That didn't work quite so well: I had to take the weight down halfway through a set. But I feel like I am getting stronger and stronger.

I don't have any kids, but I found a couple of interesting articles today for those of you that do:

• MedicalNewsToday.com reports that kids who walk to school (there must be a couple of them left) remain more physically active throughout the day than their driving-to-school counterparts.
• Nubella is pointing to an article which says that kids who spend more time outside get better grades.

So there you have it, parents: maing your kids walk to school is good for them, good for their grades, and you can save on gas.
