gym advice

beautiful day

[pchang]

I too, took a hike to the beach (4 mi. round trip) and got some unwanted excitement. A boy (about 10 yrs. old) waded into the high surf. A wave knocked him down and the back wash swept him into the ocean. Luckily there was no rip tide. He was able to bob up and down for a bit before his father and another adult male helped him back into shore. For a second there, I was getting prepped to go in after one of the adults.

Nature is benign here.
The whole europe was empty so naturally the first indoeuropeans who came around populated the best part (greece).

And shortly thereafter caused the first ecological desaster, by cutting down all the trees in order to build ships and weapons/shields for their Phalanxes
(followed,shortly thereafter, by the romans, who did the same on the italian peninsula)

it's also very interesting to follow the first 4 races that eventually made up the ancient greeks.

The ionians were among the first to arrive so they didn't have to fight for anything. so they focused on the arts and built great things. ionian rythme columns are very elaborate. ancient athens incorporated a lot of ionian influence.

the dorians OTOH came last and had to fight for each inch of land. They didn't perform greatly in arts but they did so in war. The dorian art is very plain and spartan (their descendants). dorian ryuthme columns are very austere and clear cut.

so if you don't have to fight for anything you become a hippie

The Europe wasn't empty, who do you think the Basques are?

[Bereta_Eder]

we are talking about serious people here


yep it wasn't empty but very scarcely populated

there were even other people in greece proper, the pelasgoi, they got assimilated though and almost not a trace of them is left

I'm feeling so energetic

Ok. There is a park that has outdoor gym intsruments.

For those that exercise, can you propose a light exercise regime for me who I am not trained?

Like do 10 push ups and 10 blha blha

Just propose if you can and know a program that I can perform every day.

It has nearly all the gym instruments there, so whatever is in the gym it probably has it.

Sex is the best exercise. The more you do it - the more fit you get - in both senses of the word!

Do it enough and you won't need the gym.

And it's fun outdoors too...

true but where can you find a good goat these days...? :/

I guess they're in short supply in Greece, between the economic meltdown and the refugee crisis...

[Bereta_Eder]

what meltdown and refugee crisis?

[Sava]

Is buying weed an "important business transaction"?

For some.

[onodera]

what meltdown and refugee crisis?

I've read that Lesbians are very frustrated with the migrants now.

[Sava]

that's because your state run media hates lgbt people

[NICE MOBIUS]

I think he's referring to the fact that it's all kicking off on the island of Lesbos right now...
