150th Kentucky Derby The Kentucky Derby will take place at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, tomorrow, marking the 150th “Run for the Roses.” The race carries a record purse this year of $5M—$2M more than last year—with tomorrow’s winner taking home $3.1M. The runner-up will receive $1M and third-place $500K. Coverage begins at 2:30 pm ET on NBC, with Derby post time at 6:57 pm ET. The oldest continuous sporting event in America, the Derby features 3-year-old thoroughbred horses born in the Northern Hemisphere racing a 1.25-mile track. This year’s top contenders include Fierceness (5-2 odds as of this writing), who is coming off a win at the Florida Derby, and Sierra Leone (3-1), both hailing from Kentucky. However, the race is known for upsets: A favorite hasn’t won since 2018, and Rich Strike won in 2022 with 80-1 odds. (How are odds calculated?) – 1040
Posing, especially when it’s “isometric,” (contractions without movement of the joint) is a great way to learn about your body! Example: obliques are naturally built at an angle, so when you pose and contract the “oblique” you will build the muscle into its “natural state,” but if you first attack the oblique with a lot of resistance then it is very easy to have the resistance “applied” at the wrong area (direction) and what you will create, instead of a wonderful natural flow, will be a large “thing” in place of what started out as beautifull “humanly” designed muscle that “flowed” but no more! – “The” Trainer/Inside Out Fitness
When I try working on me, I must become very “unpretentious!” I mean there is nobody else to blame. Why? Because it’s me vs. me! In “the world at large,” one might think that “blaming others” might get him/her “up the ladder” of success but when it’s only me vs. me there is nowhere to hide! At first that can seem “unfair” or “undeserved” but I know different! In the end I only see it as “honourable!” Guess what? I like “honourable!” – “The” Trainer/Inside Out Fitness
