Fall is here and winter is coming. That means wind, rain, snow, and ice. In NoDak, it also means about two hours of daylight, but I can’t do anything about that. Since I you are all a bit craggy, let’s talk about improving your balance.
Yes, there really are exercises that will help you improve your balance. If you have something weird going on in your inner ear, see a doctor. If you have muscle weaknesses or imbalances, then read on.
Here are a bunch of exercises you can do to improve your balance. They can all be done without weights. If you need more of a challenge, then go ahead and grab a dumbbell or attach ankle weights.
Stand on One Leg
Stand on your right leg and lift your knee to about hip level. Hold for five seconds, then progress to 10 seconds. Return to start position with both feet on the floor, and then repeat on the other side for one rep. Do this movement five times on each side. When you can hold the pose for 30 seconds on each side, stand on a less stable surface, such as a couch cushion, a step, or a BOSU ball.
Lateral Thigh Lift
This is like the step up move above, but instead of lifting your knee in front, straighten your left leg and extend it out to the side while balancing on your right leg. Hold for five seconds and, then progress to lifting and lowering the leg five times. Repeat on the other side and do five reps in total. This move helps to strengthen the outer thighs which help in lateral movement, like catching yourself if you trip or fall sideways.
Single Leg Squat
Starting on the floor, step your right leg up to about hip level, then slowly bend your standing left leg for a single leg squat. Straighten the right leg to stand back up and step back down to repeat on the other side. Repeat for five reps on each side.
Catch and Hold
Starting on one leg, step your other leg up to about hip level, and then have a partner toss you a light ball while you try to catch it. This challenges your balance because you are no longer looking at a fixed point—your eye is on the moving object, and you are concentrating on hand eye coordination.
Tree Pose
Stand upright near a wall or chair and balance on your left leg. Lift your right foot to the inside of your inner thigh, calf, or ankle (avoid placing it on your inner knee). Press your hands evenly against each other in prayer formation. Hold for five long inhales and exhales and repeat on the other side. To progress, try closing one or both eyes and lifting your arms overhead.
High Lunge
From standing, bring your hands to your hips and step your right leg back into a lunge, balancing on the ball of your right foot with your heel off the ground. You can lower your back left knee down for a modification. Keep your hands at your hips or practice extending them towards the sky. Hold for five long inhales and exhales, then repeat on the other side.

Not glibfit.
Do they have an RDA for gravy in Canada?
I cleaned my yard with the snow blower today, counted that as my exercise. Need to carry in a wheelbarrow of wood yet. Tomorrow the driveways. Weather is a little warmer for the next few days, with some sunshine. Early winter is a little dreary.
I could go for that KFC sammich for dinner, l could be a token Canadian wannabee. No racism.
I walked for four hours yesterday. I think I am good for a couple days.
Oh, then again, with the cold snap the leaves have fallen, Better get raking!
Remember Pete Way of UFO fame? Remember sleazy 80s metal? This week’s music.
Not bad.
I didn’t make it to the gym yesterday. I spent the first half of the day at a recount. The rest of the day was at a NHLA event. I didn’t go to the gym today. Tomorrow is deficit deadlift day. This month’s program is going well.
At this time, I have no plans on cutting back at the gym or with the trainer I work with. If I don’t have a job lined up by the time I receive my last severance check, I’ll cut back on working with the trainer. Probably fewer sessions.
I am reviewing you resume Monday. Expect a slightly revised version to come back to you. Head of IT is back Monday after Thanksgiving- she just reviewed all open posts to see where she needed help (for reasons other than your immediate need). I hope you have a good Thanksgiving, I know this is a hard time to have a company shut down.
Thank you!
Skimming through headlines and whatever, this occurs to me:
I have no idea what the press could or would do differently if their explicitly stated goal was to reinforce Trump’s narcissism and megalomania.
Their incessant shrieking about his Satanic power to destroy civilization singlehandedly is truly amazing.
To your point:

I couldn’t do a one legged squat when I was twenty. My ankles have never had the range of motion to do that.

I’ve been saying this for years. 60 and you’re out. If you get elected at 59 and 364 days the following day you’re out of there. No finishing your term, no nothing, 60 and good bye. Mandatory. There needs to be new thinking, no beholding to the geriatric crowd. There are 350M people in the US.
If a Fed/state/local politician can’t steal enough before 60 they are too stupid to be in office. Maybe voting should be the same age, I dunno.
If there is a minimum age to vote, drink, etc there should be a max age at least to vote.
As much as I like Rand Paul, I’m at the point I’m voting against anyone who has had a parent in government.
I like it fourscore.
Most policies don’t come home to roost for a few years. Maybe we could bump it all the way up to 65. I just wish there was a way to make it people with skin in the long term game. Realistically, I’m not sure if anything changes with a younger crowd, but I’d like to think so?
Pelosi, Brown, Fienstien, Milk….the lot of those CA pinkos… they got their power by giving blowjobs to Jim Jones. If you are too young to remember Jones, look him up.
Yeah that whole saga is almost unbelievable.
“No matter how bad you think they are they are 100x worse.” – Mark Levin
If Jim Jones were alive today he’d be running a startup with a high ESG score.
👍
He was also very good with equity, diversity and inclusion.
And provided free Flavor-Aid to his followers and their kids.
Be careful what you wish for.
You want the Squad running the country, all those oldsters retiring is how you get the Squad running the country.
Yeah, I’m thinking 45-65 would be fine.
The Squad is certainly punching above their weight class already. We hear more of their shenanigans than most of the other 435. The seniors are doing very little to curtain the Squad nonsense.
/Climate Change
It may seem that way, but I have a feeling that Nancy was standing in the way of some of the more damaging ideas of the Squad. Nothing goes through the House without her approval. Younger leadership is going to be more receptive to the “Democratic Socialist” craziness.
I’m watching the Grey Cup pregame festivities (because Canadian gridiron football is way fun to watch) and the theme seems to be “apologies to First Nations.” So of course they had an official Indian welcome message, the coin toss was done by an Indian (complete with headdress), and the Canadian national anthem was performed by a First Nations chick.
Who forgot the words. To her own country’s goddamn national anthem. At the beginning of the biggest sporting event this side of the Stanley Cup (which doesn’t visit Canada anymore).
I’m still not sure if a) it was an honest fuckup and she, being Canadian, feels bad aboot it, or b) she did it on purpose as a thumb in the eye to her people’s conquerers.
I’m surprised they’re not already doing “land acknowledgements” at American football games.
We acknowledge that this game is being played on land that the Iroquois stole from [insert name of earlier tribe here].
Heh. It could be like the begats in the bible.
lol that’s where I tapped out.
The Neutrals.
Here’s a libertarian land acknowledgement:
“We recognize this land was stolen from the rightful owners through eminent domain… And so we’re giving it back to the rightful heirs.”
Serious question, what’s the point of land acknowledgements? At best it can only stoke resentment, no one is giving away their land. And guess what…. Almost all it’s value is because of the white eyes, so? The value of women’s next to nothing of value is almost nothing…
Soothing white guilt.
SoothingStoking white guilt.FTFY [because there is no forgiveness or redemption in this religion]
If the Canadians were really sorry, the Indians should be allowed to urinate on Justin Trudeau at the start of every sporting event.

Thanks for the exercises, Chafed. I obviously don’t have the space for equipment, so this is helpful.

Man, my allergies just flared up all of a sudden…how about you?

Once I get my kid to bed I will watch
Well, at least there’s one libertarian on this site
Yes. My allergies are acting up as well.
First time through MASH (the movie) because reasons. Funny, a little disjointed/episodic. All these actors we grew up with knowing as middle-aged, then old, are so YOUNG they’re unrecognizable. Tom Skerritt, Robert Duvall, Rene Auberjonois, geez.
+1 Damn Army
+1 Damn Army Jeep
+2 pros from Dover
Odo is in that? Huh I didn’t catch it. I think I saw it once in the aughts and I definitely knew him well from DS9 by then.
But yeah I’m watching a lot of 70s TV lately and it’s crazy how the same actors keep showing up in all the shows. (Odo is one of them.)
You know what… scratch that. I had only seen a handful of eps of DS9 by then. It’s possible I would not have recognized Rene Auberjonois.
Odo == Father Mulcahy.
I’m so used to the TV cast and characterization that I can’t even reconsile that in my mind.
#meneither
It’s an issue I have as well. I kept hearing about how the movie was awesome, but I tried watching it four or five times. The fact the cast didn’t match the ones I had seen on TV for years kept throwing me out of the movie.
I think the big problem I had with the movie was the scene where two of the characters went to Japan on leave.
Well, like I said, it’s episodic.
The reviews I have seen say the football game is de trop.
It was in 50’s and 60’s TV, too. Fun catching McCoy or Spock or Angel Eyes in old episodes.
Spock was on a Columbo.
I dunno what Angel Eyes is.
Not only was he on Columbo, but the case the Lieutenant put together was so weak that the fact the he didn’t confess means he’s likely getting off. You only piece of physical evidence just happens to show up in the pocket of the investigating detective who’s been unable to pin anything on the suspect up to that point? A good attorney would rip that to shreds.
I lost count of how many times Columbo break ‘n’ entered to gather evidence.
Lee Van Cleef, made famous by the “Man With no Name” movies. Close friend of our own Swiss Servitor.
The old Twilight Zone episodes or Night of the Lepus showings are much better because of that.
You should see him in The Eyes of Laura Mars, which also has a young Tommy Lee Jones.
Yup, already seen it a couple times by the aughts.
The Eyes of Laura Mars was not one of the movies I could get my hands on back in the early 90s when I was on my The Fugitive-fueled Tommy Lee Jones binge, so I haven’t seen it. Also, he was not as compelling when he was young as he was as he matured. He was also in Love Story.
Rolling Thunder?
Although set in the Korean War, Altman made it as his protest to the Viet Nam War, which was then in progress. Several years after it came out I read the source novel. The movie followed the book fairly closely, with some changes for the new audience. I found both quite enjoyable.
The TV series, however, is unwatchable.
I grew up on that show but I can see that.
I’m watching some episodes of Quincy lately and if you thought MASH was preachy, holy crap.
Cozi aired a fascinating episode yesterday in the dinner hour, Science for Sale. It’s a mediocre episode, except that watching it after three years of coronavirus makes it look a lot different.
A doctor doing cancer research uses genetic engineering (they didn’t know mRNA at the time) to come up with a new medicine to reduce tumor size. But it has the side effect of a new, fast-mutating respiratory virus, although Quincy recognizes that it only affects the very young, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. A cancer patient from the experiments carrying the virus gets out and infects some hobos. One of them dies and that’s where Quincy comes in.
The scientist doing the research is actually willing to admit he got it wrong; also, as was common back in those days, the pharma exec was the obvious bad guy of the piece. Can’t imagine TV shows of today bad-mouthing Pfizer or Moderna.
Hell, Big Pharma was still evil as recently as early 2020.
I thought the first two (or three?) seasons with Trapper and Henry Blake were pretty good.
The first couple of seasons followed the movie pretty closely and weren’t too bad. After that, “woke” many years before “Woke”.
Like the Ludovico effect, the instant I see Alan Alda I begin to retch.
When it comes to Altman (who directed MASH) I would rather spend my time with McCabe and Mrs. Miller. One of the two best westerns.
I didn’t really care for McCabe and Mrs. Miller.
I recently watched The Player, which for the most part I liked.
The Player isn’t bad at all.
I watched Kansas City while writing 1520 Main, but to me, it seemed like a pet project because he’s a hometown boy.
It’s the laugh track.
Yeah, it’s so awful. But it was de rigeur back then and we got used to it.
IT WASN’T A CHICKEN!!!!
Movie: good
Early run of show: not bad
Late run of show: unwatchable.
My tomato bread was kinda dry and flaverless. It did soak in the butter when I made grilled spam and cheese with it. My tomato soup just tasted wrong, I think the crushed tomatos I got might have been pre-seasoned and that threw everything off.
And I screwed up by not browning the spam long enough.
I have made everything in this meal before successfully, but botched it today. *sigh* oh well.
No soup for you?
I still ate the soup. I needed food.
Ugh I hate when that happens.
Winter is definitely here. Over a foot of snow (no snowmagedon here, thank goodness) and it’s been below freezing for a couple weeks. Tuesday starts a stretch of highs at or above freezing, so that give us something to be thankful for.
This desk jockey needs to get Glibfit. These balance exercises, along with the stretching book I bought but haven’t looked at yet, should be a good start.
Half a foot of snow on the ground. I generally clean up the snow 3-4 times a winter. Last year I had to burn propane and the truck got stuck in my driveway, broke through the packed snow. The driver really got upset but I think he was too young to know that you have to keep the speed up, even with a big truck. I’ll try to keep the snow level down a little better but my F150 will go through the packed snow easily.
Cleaned 2X already. So far I’ve been burning wood but at some point I’ll turn on the gas.
Here’s the deal. A couple years ago I had a metal roof installed, with a snow barrier about 4 feet from the eaves. Last winter we had a lot of snow and when it began to move it tore off the snow barrier. The roofer replaced it for free. This year I see a big overhang of snow that has melted and frozen. When that breaks off it will fall on to the patio and lock me inside. I only hope no one is underneath that avalanche when it breaks off, would be serious. It’s almost like the snow barrier isn’t doing much good.
Sounds like the snow barrier may be doing more harm than good.
Shoveling snow is good exercise.
Operating the Bobcat is more fun.
We got some flurries tonight. Just the right time to melt and turn the roads to ice.
That sucks. We had a little of that when we had our big storm over a week ago, but thankfully, it got pretty cold before the snow, so that kept the melt/freeze/ditch action to a minimum.
Didn’t you get your invitation from Gov. DeSantis to “come on down?”

Actual kettlebell swings and not “kettlebell squat/swing/something”
Oh, she was something.
Naptown Bill doesn’t know what he’s missing.
Whoa… that’s actually decent squat depth and form.
A bit of a butt wink though, but otherwise fine.
Lol for real. That has to be the most on point and on brand thing you have ever posted.
Just got a call from my sister – my BIL may have the ‘VID – home test was positive, symptoms like a bad cold. He’s going to the doctor tomorrow for another test. Then we have to decide how to proceed with Thanksgiving plans. Fortunately, we have reservations at a restaurant, so we just have to decide whether we’re still going and, if so, how many of us. 🙄 If BIL is confirmed positive, he certainly won’t go. Sister is asymptomatic so far and says she only plans to test if she starts having symptoms.
That sucks.
Anybody “at risk” coming? If I were your sister that would likely determine if I would attend.
The home test yields false negatives. If your BIL is positive there the odds approach 100% he will get a positive PCR test.
Demand all guests use the cone of silence.
http://www.wouldyoubelieve.com/graphics/cone_title.gif
I sympathize. Every Thanksgiving somebody is sick and 90 year old relatives are coming over. I don’t think I have ever had a full Thanksgiving.
No one particularly at risk, though TT is 70 and has had other health “adventures” not related to respiratory stuff. My other sister had COVID for Christmas of ’20, which caused us to postpone our plans for THAT holiday.
Well, that sucks.
Our plans are to fly to visit my son at college for wed-fri and then have a dinner with the SoCal relatives on Sunday. Today was getting the house in some sort of shape – pulling the table leaves out, trying to find the nice napkins (still missing), removing all the HS graduation stuff which was still lying around even though the kid isn’t even here, lol.
Boss and boss-boss are on vacay next week, so I figure I’ll help myself to some World Cup all day every day.
Fortunately, boss-boss-boss has never shown any interest in what I am doing. I hope that also applies to the project with a hopelessly optimistic deadline that they threw me on. The one I’m still waiting on requirements for.
I kid, of course but thank heavens the next demo for boss-boss-boss-boss isn’t due until the Tue. after Tksgiving.
Stupid question… why does LA have a roofed football stadium?
The first three answers that came to mind – Air Conditioning; Smog; Shade
The first answer that came to my mind was Graft. I thought I heard the talking heads say it cost 5 billion dollars.
I remember MetLife (NYC) costing a record 2 billion not so long ago.
That’s the answer to why does LA have a stadium. I was focused on the roof, since you don’t need it for graft.
I think the roof is crucial to the graft in a city where you don’t need a roof.
There was always going to be a stadium.
It’s actually built with private money. It’s in LA so there is still graft but less than a public project.
I can’t find any details about that but the same was claimed about MetLife until it wasn’t.
Stan Kronke, the Ram’s owner, bought all the land and paid for the stadium. He is developing the immediate area around it.
Fun fact: all 4 of the major teams in Boston (Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics) play in private stadia (Gillette, Fenway, Garden x 2).
One of the few things we got right – no ridiculous bond issuances for that nonsense.
The “pull tabs” funding for the Minni stadium seems particularly sleazy.
It’s not solely a football stadium, as with most modern arenas it’s designed for multiple purposes, you don’t want to have to sit in the rain to watch Hootie and The Newest Big Act. A roof or retractable roof makes sense even in cities that don’t historically have inclement weather.
They’re all designed for multiple purposes. Hootie isn’t going to avoid MetLife because it doesn’t have a roof. He might have to reschedule but that’s where he wants to play.
Are we sure Darius Rucker is doing stadium tours in 2022?
lol no
He’s the second coming of Charlie Pride.
It’s used for multiple events including soccer and concerts. Lizzo played there this past Friday. The tennagers and housefraus who went don’t want to sit in 55 degree weather.
😐
Jealousy is unbecoming.
It’s quite nice. We went to a Chargers preseason game to check it out, we were 8 rows back on the 10 yard line. Its glass all around beneath the ‘sail’ roof, so it gets sun inside. I think it might be open-able as well, but not sure. It was quite hot when we were there.
Besides climate control, the roof structure also supports a MASSIVE overheard screen, plus all the little cameras on wires and lights.
I would add we already have the Coliseum and the Rose Bowl for enormous open air stadiums, so it’s not like LA needed another of those. What they wanted was VIP boxes – the roof was probably immaterial as long as it had two levels of boxes.
Its Cali. It drops below 70 and they think they will freeze to death.

I’ve seen the word “curated” used more in the last few months than in my previous 50 years combined. WTF
Hmm…looking into it (like I have nothing better to do) it apparently has been on lists of overused words for a decade or so. I’m always the last one to know.
bespoke.
I never heard that word before The Diamond Age so that’s what it always conjures in my head.
For some reason I just hate that word. No idea why, it just makes my skin crawl.
Yesterday was 7 hours of lifting and moving metal and wood as we pulled seven large boats and put them on cradles so the owners can work on the undersides. We’ll put them back in the water in two weeks and pull the next seven.
Today was pulling on various ropes for three hours to raise and lower sails during a high wind race. At least I got multiple free saltwater baths as part of the deal.
Good stuff. When do we get the senior version? I am old damnit. I’m trying to do Yoga, but it really kicks my butt. I have to slow down and stop trying to go through the Asanas fast like I used to.
Also, want to add weights really soon. Anyone have any advice for a good bench and weight set for home that does not take up too much room?
I’m mostly doing the VR fitness thing, but it really works although it’s mostly aerobic and I really need to add the strength stuff. I do from 45 minutes to 1 hour 4-5 times a week. I have went from 235 to 189 lbs and have toned up a lot. I need to drop another 10-15 lbs and add it back in muscle. I am seriously considering HRT cause I’m old. So OK to cheat. I did cheat a little, the last day of this month will be 6 months with zero alcohol.
That’s fantastic progress Hype.
That really is great progress. Fantastic work, Hyp!
Have your T levels checked – it’s definitely not cheating if they’re low.
Yeah, I’m going to do it soon. I already got the order from the dr I saw at the clinic that does that stuff, I just have to drop in to LabCorp and get it done. Then I have to show the lab results to my GP if the level is low enough to get my insurance to pay for it. I’m doing it regardless if it’s low. It must be low or else where the hell did all my muscle mass go? And I feel like I’m 60! Oh, yeah, I am 60. Never done it before, they do the pellets where I went. Not even sure if that is good or what is supposed to be.
I think they’re subcutaneous, slow release pellets?
I’m familiar with the gel – slather a bit on every mornings and you’re good. Avoid skin to skin contact with females. Fine to wash it off after about 4 hours.
“I think they’re subcutaneous, slow release pellets?”
Yes, that’s what it is.
WHELL!!!! Wasn’t that lovely. Heh.
Good game. Better than some of the duds earlier today.
Chargers are good. Worthy opponent.
What is going on with Scientology? I’m see TV ads pretty regularly. Do they suddenly need more members? Did they put all their money into FTX?
😲 I’ve never seen a TV for them.
“ad”
Local to you, perhaps?
I don’t see a lot of ads in general, but no Scientology ads at all.
Interesting. Maybe so. I see them during football games. That’s about the only live TV I watch.
Scientology or just schlepping Hubbard’s books? I haven’t watched TV for years, but I remember 20-ish year ago there were pushing the hell out of Dianetics.
Bob Iger returns as Disney CEO effective immediately, replacing Bob Chapek after a brief, tumultuous tenure
Disney, in a shocking late Sunday announcement, said it had re-appointed Iger as chief executive, effective immediately, after Iger’s handpicked successor as CEO, Bob Chapek, came under fire for his management of the entertainment giant.
Hmm, I wonder what spurred that.
Shares of Disney have fallen about 41% so far this year, as of Friday’s close. The stock hit a 52-week low Nov. 9.
Yup, that’s a good way to get canned.
BUT THEY’RE WOKE!!!!
It is and there is more to the story. Iger has been undermining Chapek from the beginning. He never fully gave up control.
I avoid all things Disney so I have no insight to offer here.
How about someone not involved in the downfall of the company?
Most things are down… Partly just had timing for chapel. Agree with others re iger.
Chafed!
Just got back into town, but I want to tell you how much a dig this week’s installment.
I am not familiar with a bunch of those, so it’s time to branch out.
Really, squats are so you can get off the fucking toilet when you are 80 and balance work is so you don’t have to worry about falling.
I got one of these:

It’s challenging but fun as hell. Perfect to keep in the office.
Have a great week GlibFitters!
LOL
My surgery from a couple years ago did not help in this area. And of course I can only speculate it will get worse from here.
Though to be fair, it helped in other areas. Such as not having to wear a plastic bag.
Good. Squat.
I do some squats but without any weights, because I don’t have any weights yet. I guess I need the weights, cause not sure where my ass went. It used to be there. I guess it went away with all the rest of my muscle mass. Getting old sucks ballz, dudes, don’t let anyone tell you different.
Do you think that you need weights to get off the toilet? Dude, you’re lighter post-dump than when you went in.
Go back in the archives and look for bodyweight workouts. No excuses for not doing something.
Also practice getting off the floor with one hand. Both sides.
You’re suffering from the heartbreak of Male Pattern Ass Loss (MPAL). We should start a charity and get people to wear a ribbon to raise awareness.
Whoever is in charge of that website should be shot. There is no description or explanation for the Slackblock. I don’t know WTF it is, how it works, or why I need one. Heaven forbid they have video of someone using it so I can understand.

I think I need to alter my dropset workout… I like it for time efficiency but I still get very bad DOMS for legs and I feel it may be the squat dropset.

10 bullet wounds and he’s in stable condition. Humans are really tough.
Mornin y’all.
Morning. School is off all week so wife and kids are home. It’s back to the dungeon for some quiet.
All week?

Good morning, Sean, RoaT, and U! (And Lack somewhere upthread maybe?)
Not really awake yet, so…no further comment.
☕?

I’d rather not have to.
All right, I’ll see you guys when I reach my cube.
Well, I’m in my cube. They rebooted my desktop over the weekend without telling me again.

You go, girlfriend!
Plus Italian so I bet she can cook.
That sounds Racist to me.
I’d let her hit me with a rolling pin.
Odds that nothing more will happen?
Did someone “Make a Deal”?
It was either a goat or a ceramic dog.
Chia pet?
They got the wrong booby prize.
