Act your age

New study to show relationship between strenous exercise and aging.
"Ulrich Laufs, the study's co-author, who is a researcher at Saarland University in Germany, said one of the key findings was that lifelong exercise was associated with a significant prevention of telomere shortening." Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes thought to be heavily involved in aging and age-related disease.

PS. The CF women are reminding us that last year ONLY CF Women received the Pukie Patch for fully completing Hero Week. Uh-oh!

PSS. Eva pulled ahead in the voting...which means we may have to hear MikeL yell "bring the salt" for the next 3 weeks.

Before I vote, can someone (probably Matt) explain what "pood" means when they mention a kettlebell exercise? I know it's not a typo for "Phoool", right?

If you look it up on the crossfit website, they define it as the Russian measurement term for kb weights...I think 1 pood = 35lbs....go to crossfits website and look up "Faqs"...it's listed under that link.
