I personally don't care what my abs look like, but having a strong core is one of the best ways to prevent injury. Every once in a while for kicks, I will ask a lady who is considering kettlebell training to punch me in the stomach. After shrinking back at the thought, they always decide to try. It's fun to watch their shocked expressions. Those who train with kettlebells are not just toned; they are rock hard. I am just the poster child for kettlebell training, nothing more. THE BEST REHAB TOOL ON THE PLANET I'm personally not a big fan of all the 5k promotions. If you're going to walk it, that is great, but if you are using it as a part of your plan to get into shape, it's most likely a bad idea. I am speaking generally, of course, but many people have pounded the pavement with an extra 20-50 pounds and have injured themselves trying to do the right thing. My training is always focused on strength first, then endurance. One of the most difficult things as a trainer is to eliminate the fear that I am going to crush them during a training.

But the disease also features chronic inflammation. Cells known as microglia—neural cousins of pathogen- eating macrophages of the bloodstream—swarm around amyloid plaques and dying, tangle-ridden neurons. They seem helpful, gobbling up amyloid beta as well as disease-damaged cells. But does their immunological enthusiasm also cause harm to healthy cells—could it accelerate the disease or even help to initiate it? Scientists have debated these questions for more than two decades, without any firm resolution. Now a burst of new research suggests that inflammation does, indeed, play a major role in Alzheimer's—and that targeting specific elements of that inflammation could be useful in treating or preventing the disease.
