We have a young lady say that she has to buy new jeans because her legs and butt have grown so much over the last few months that her jeans don’t fit anymore.
Another young lady told us that she didn’t want her thighs to grow any larger. Another young lady said that her shoulders and arms were looking too strong. Needless to say, the variable strength program we’ve been running for the past few months have gotten some exceptional results. Maybe too exceptional.
So we are going to dial it back for the next few weeks and put the focus on something very important this time of year: cardio.
Why is cardio important this time of year? Because of the influenza virus. This is a virus that’s been around forever ages, and does actually kill people. It affects the respiratory system and shuts the body down.
Knowing this, we can use cardiovascular exercise to help prevent and/or fight against the way this virus attacks.
When you do cardio exercises you are forced to take deep breaths. These deep breaths not only help you distribute oxygen throughout the body, but they also clean out waste, toxins and build-up that is stored in the lungs. Clean lungs makes for less restricted breathing. So cardio helps you distribute oxygen throughout the body, and helps clean out waste from your system, but more than that it also strengthens the workhorse of your cells, the mitochondria.
The stronger your mitochondria, the better you can resist assaults from viruses, frequencies, technology, and other pollutants that makes people sick. So now is the time to step up your cardio game. We are not saying that you won’t get sick, but your body will definitely be able to fight back with strength if sickness tries to touch you.
If you feel it’s necessary to go get the flu shot, you are encouraged to look up the ingredients like you should be doing with your food. Getting something injected directly into your body will affect your DNA, so this is no small matter.

Let’s talk about Seven Remarkable Endurance Feats
The Official International Association of Athletics Federations world Marathon record for men is 2:01:39 set September 16, 2018 at Berlin Marathon by Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_world_record_progression#:~:text=World%20records%20in%20the%20marathon%20are%20now%20ratified,September%2016%2C%202018%2C%20at%20the%202018%20Berlin%20Marathon.
Once upon a time the women’s record holder in the marathon was Paula Radcliffe of the United Kingdom in a time of 2:15:25. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_world_record_progression#:~:text=World%20records%20in%20the%20marathon%20are%20now%20ratified,September%2016%2C%202018%2C%20at%20the%202018%20Berlin%20Marathon.
The predicted human capability of the marathon based on physiological chracteristics as described by Joyner (1991) is 1:57:58. This equals a 4:30 per mile pace.
The longest certified road race in the world is the 3100 mile Self-Transcendence Race in New York City that takes place around a half-mile city block in Queens, NY. Only 30 runners have completed the race, which requires each contestant to complete 2 marathons per day for 50 days. https://3100.srichinmoyraces.org/
The longest bicycle race is the Tour d’Afrique, which is 12,000 km (7500 miles) and 120 days traveling from Cairo, Egypt to Cape Town, South Africa. https://www.africa-ata.org/sports3.htm
One of the longest swims ever recorded by Martin Strel in 2009. The Slovenian man swam the length of the Amazon River (3,272 miles) in 66 days. Starting February 1, 2007 finishing 66 days later on April 7, 2007. side note: Q. McCohn is highly skeptical of this report based on numerology. Feb 1 = 201, “66 days later,” finishing 4/7. All occult numbers. I’d imagine one might find some interesting things if they dug into this man’s history.
Another outstanding swimming feat was a performance by Benoit Leconte, who swam across the Atlantic Ocean from Cape Cod to France, which is 3,736 miles. he averaged six to eight hours per day of swimming. https://benlecomte.com/#atlantic
