Chapter # 2: Requirements Chapter # 3: Maximal Oxygen Uptake Chapter # 4: Economy of Motion Lactate Threshold Training Chapter # 1: Introduction Chapter # 2: Practical Approach Chapter # 3: To Sum it Up Nutrition Fat: Carbohydrates: Proteins: Conclusion References Author Bio Publisher What is Endurance? Endurance is personal to everyone; it's what we use to bring out our top athletic potential. Still, there are multitudes of versions to the definition of endurance. Some define it as running a 10K race while some define it as riding a bike for a century. Individuals strive to show their level of endurance by competing in worldwide events like racing in the Olympics, riding a bike in the Tour de France, or going 8 hours in the lava bath in Hawaii. They do all this to show their superb mental and physical control. Endurance provides us with the physical, mental, and chemical tools required to enable the body to maintain a constant speed over long distances. It is an expression of the aerobic system of the body. This book will base its knowledge upon the fact that aerobic muscle fibers burn fat for energy, which powers all the nerves and blood vessels associated with the particular muscle to come into action. Thus, training the aerobic system can, in effect, increase a person's endurance allowing him/her to cover 5 miles in 40 minutes, when previously it took 45 minutes, at an average heart rate of 150. This particular feature of endurance is known as aerobic speed. While endurance increases our potential output, it does so without harming the body. It is one's ability to improve his/her athleticism without sacrificing his health at the same time. If you look closely, you will notice that consciously or not, you spend most of your life increasing your endurance and longevity at something; whether it's sports, puzzles, or everyday chores. This book will focus on improving your physical performance by training for endurance.

Athletes eat it whenever they need a quick, natural shot of energy and most of the population enjoys them just for their flavor, not knowing about their health benefits. And this is exactly why this book must be read by all; almost everyone known oranges contain vitamin C but there aren't many people who know what comes as a result of it. Better yet, there are many other nutrients and health promoting compounds present in oranges that have far-fetched effects on the human body that would drastically increase the daily intake of oranges by the common populace, if found out. But everything needs to be built from the bottom-up and this is exactly what will be done in the forthcoming chapters. Oranges are spherical fruits belonging to the citrus species consisting of two major types: sweet and bitter. The sweet orange is the one that is generally consumed and is known by its scientific name as Citrus Sinensis whereas the bitter orange is known as Citrus Aurantium. Popular variations of the sweet orange include Navel, Jaffa, Valencia and Blood-oranges which are a hybrid species, more aromatic in flavor, smaller in size and with red hues throughout their flesh. Most people do not get into the classification and to refer to the sweet orange as simply orange. The orange tree is a multi-seasonal, flowering tree growing to a height of 9-10 m; some species have been reported to grow as long as 15 m. Its oval leaves are 4-10 cm long and are alternatively arranged throughout the stem. The bottom of the tree, including the trunk and roots is called rootstick while the fruit bearing part of the tree is known as scion. Almost every variety of sweet oranges contains 10 segments (carpels) and six seeds. The orange fruit has a green color when it is unripe and upon reaching ripeness turns orange to yellow-orange. The word orange is derived from the Sanskrit word for "orange tree"; the Sanskrit reached the European continent after going through Persian and Arabic derivations. Oranges are believed to be originated thousands of years ago in the Asian region ranging from South of China to Indonesia. Oranges were not cultivated in the Middle Eastern region till the 9th Century and it wasn't until the 15th Century that they made into Europe, thanks to ethnic groups like Moors and traders like the Portuguese and Italians who voyaged to Asia. From Europe, oranges found their way into the Caribbean islands in the late 15th Century when Christopher Columbus brought the seeds on his voyage to the New World. Spanish explorers brought oranges to Florida & California in the 16th and 18th Century respectively. Currently, some of the largest producers of oranges include Brazil, USA and China with each country producing 18, 8 and 6.5 million tones of oranges annually making orange trees the most cultivated trees in the world. Coming to the health-promoting side of oranges, it should be known that an orange has over 170 different healthy phytochemicals and more than 60 flavonoids, almost all of which act as strong anti-oxidants & anti-inflammatory bodies. Looking at these qualities it wouldn't be wrong to relate oranges with the proverb, "an apple a day"!

Table of Contents Introduction Work as an Emotional Substitute Sacrificing Family Time First Casualty - Marriage Economic Compulsions Effect on Health Social Obligations Tips for tackling workaholism Great Expectations Working Does Not Automatically Mean Workaholism Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Workaholism is a comparatively modern phenomenon. There has been a disturbing trend in a majority of people, growing addicted to work. Apart from this, affecting their general health, in the long run, it is also going to adversely affect their domestic happiness. This book is going to give you plenty of tips on how to recognize workaholism and how to manage it. Workaholism is some sort of obsession. In fact, there are a number of people I know, who begin to feel guilty, if they do not do one particular work at one given scheduled time. There is something wrong in the state of matter somewhere, if they are found enjoying themselves at a time, when they would usually be chained to a desk. And that is why they get stressed out, and spoil the enjoyment of everybody around them, because they are not at their desk, beavering away. If you are surprised at this, do not be. I come in that particular category. Since my 20s, I found myself getting upset, when I was not at my piles and miles and miles of files, doing a hard days' work. I used to get annoyed, if somebody interrupted just to pass the time of the day. The seniors loved me, my peers kept contemplating justified pesticide because according to them, I was showing them up by pretending to be so dedicated and hard-working and earnest and all that jazz. It was also playing merry - pranks with my personal life, because I was missing out on important family occasions and obligations, because I was so busy working. I remember one of my friends just joking about a new fragrance for perfumes. Just add a little bit of the fragrance of dust from the file storage cabinet and an aroma of old files and papers, with a little bit of a woodsy smell reminiscent of an office desk. That would be a hit perfume for workaholics. So how do you recognize the fact that you are a workaholic? Are your feet tapping as you read these words, because you just want to get to your files? Do you have your cell phone, right on the table, ready to message you with some work or message from your office? Do you check your email, three times a day, every day, or even more, to see the status of what is going on in the office?

Chapter 3 How to get started Chapter 4 The Cardinal Rules of Gun Safety Chapter 5 Parts of a Gun Chapter 6 Learning to Fire your Gun Chapter 7 Practical Shooting - the sport Chapter 8 When you are under attack Chapter 9 Additional Safety Precautions Conclusion Author Bio Bonus Content Introduction Mental Attitude Towards Violence How to Stop from Panicking? Facing Your Attacker Rules to Protect Yourself Going Out to a Party? When You Are Walking What If You Are Being Followed? Traveling on Your Own Traveling in Your Car Relationships Going Wrong No Means No To drink Or Not to Drink; That Is the Question Learning How to Fight Back How to Protect Yourself Against Grabs Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I wrote this book to share what I have learned in gun handling and to give some idea, not only to women but also to men, of how a woman perceives this man-dominated "gadget" or equipment. I would say that 99% of women who know how to handle a gun or who are engaged in practical shooting as a sport, were influenced by a male in their lives whether it is the father, husband, brother, boyfriend, uncle or a male friend. Gun ownership, inarguably, is a man's world. But, it did not say that women cannot dip their fingers to it, if it is necessary, or even if she was just plain interested. In my case, the guilty party was my husband who suavely got my nod, first, for him to own a gun and later on, to join him on his shooting practice, tournaments and gun shows. I have to admit that in the beginning, I would cringe whenever I would see him working on his gun (and later on guns). I always have this thought that it will discharge accidentally and someone could get hurt. At that time, I could not even hold a gun. But then, gradually, I warmed up to it ---- I started holding the gun (no bullets, of course) until later on, my husband would be training me on how to hold it properly, how to get the right stance and eventually how to fire it. Believe it or not, within months, I was going with him on his practice shooting and tournaments. At first, I was the photographer and videographer. Eventually, I would be doing my own practice sessions and would join him on tournaments.

Table of Contents Introduction What is a sloth? What kinds of sloths are there? Relatives of sloths The history of sloths and humans Pygmy three-toed sloth Hoffman's two-toed sloth Brown-throated sloth Giant sloth Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction You've probably heard of someone being called a sloth, or even of one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Sloth. But what is a sloth, and how did it come to be used as a bad thing to be called? You might guess that it's some sort of horrible animal, but the truth couldn't be any different. Sloths are slow creatures, named for the sin rather than the other way around. However, there is nothing wrong with being slow, and as you'll see, they are quite loveable creatures that cause harm to almost no one (other than things like insects).

Rottweilers - Dog Books for Kids Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Early History Chapter 2 Fascinating Features & Care Chapter 3 Amazing Rottweiler facts Conclusion A Family's best friend Author Bio Introduction "No matter how little money and how few possessions you own, having a dog makes you rich." -Louis Sabin Rottweilers are powerful dogs from a long history of domestic dogs, also known as butchers dogs. Strong, courageous and intelligent, Rottweilers are versatile and faithful dogs. They have outstanding characteristics and are devoted to their family. Butchers dogs were used to herd livestock in Germany. Do you know why the name "butcher" was used? The carts were full of "butchered" meat and other products to sell. So when the dogs pulled the carts they were called "butchers" dogs. Today, Rottweilers are found not only at home but also in law enforcement. They form a part of search and rescue teams and help the blind as guide dogs. This ability extends to work as police dogs and guard dogs. The AKC standard defines Rottweilers as "calm and confident." They also note a "self-assured aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships." This statement helps us to understand the level of socialization required for a Rottweiler. It also helps us to learn how much training is needed for a friendlier, more outgoing pet.

The size of their herds can range in number anywhere from 100 walruses to more than 1,000! An adult male walrus is called a bull. The female walrus is called a cow. The reason that walruses lay in the sun is to keep warm. Although their color is usually a reddish brown, when they lay in the sun, their skin can turn pink in color. It is actually good when their skin color changes to pink. That is a sign that the walrus is warming up. The walrus also has its thick blubber to protect them and keep them warm from the freezing cold waters of the Artic. This layer of blubber is under the skin of the walrus, and can measure to over 5" thick. When walruses are young, their coat is a deep colored brown. As the walruses grow older, this color begins to change. Their color gets lighter, and looks more reddish brown. When male walruses become old, the color of their skin turns mostly pink. When a walrus is swimming, they can look almost white in color. This is because the cold water makes their skin blood vessels become tighter and narrower. A walrus can stay up to 30 minutes underwater before they must surface for air. The walrus can actually slow down their heartbeat so that they can stand up to the icy cold Artic water temperatures. Most groups of walrus will travel south for the winter months, then turn around and head north for the summer. The male walruses have air sacs that can be found by their neck. These air sacs are very useful. One thing it helps them to do is make loud, deep roaring sounds. These sacs can also fill up with air. When they inflate, the walrus can stay afloat in the water vertically so that he can go to sleep. Their nostrils stay closed when they are resting. Both the female and the male walruses have tusks, but it is the males' tusks that are slightly longer. These tusks will continue to grow over their lifetime. A female's tusk can measure 2-1/2 ft long, while, a male's tusk can measure over 3 ft. long! The scientific name for walrus is Odobenus rosmarus. In Latin, this name actually means, "tooth walking sea horse". The walruses' whiskers, also known as mystacial vibrissae, are also very interesting. They can have as many as 13 to 15 rows of whiskers that are 12" long. That could mean as many as 400 to 700 total whiskers! Many times, walruses that live in the wild, do not have whiskers that reach that long. They are always using their whiskers to look for food at the ocean's bottom, so their whiskers are shorter.

That is why big cats, especially leopards take some portion of their kill and leave it in the branches of trees, intending to come back to the already ready meal the next time they feel hungry. So is this surprising that down the ages human beings have also been using different preserving techniques in order to keep food for a longer time? This food is preserved in vinegar and in oil, depending on your recipe. So in this beginners guide on how to preserve food/fruit, you are going to learn how to prepare fruit, before preserving it. And after that, you are going to cook fruit so that your family can enjoy it long after the season has gone. You can thus make jams, jellies, marmalades and use other traditional methods to save fruit. In ancient times, people used to make jams by pounding fruit pulp and sugar together before heating it. This is a method practiced in many parts of the East and in many ancient cultures, but when we have traditional recipes not asking for so much of exertion on our parts through using a pestle and mortar, why bother! In Elizabethan times, and even before that, jams were eaten with a spoon on special occasions in the form of conserves. That was because sugar was so rare that it was considered to be to be a luxury. Oliver and his friends singing about Food, Glorious Food dreamt of "jam, jelly and custard." Of course, they had never tasted these delicacies, being inmates of an orphanage, where they would be fed just porridge, stale bread and soup morning, evening and night. Fresh fruit, no, they did not taste it. But we have plenty of access to fresh fruit and sugar. So now we can start enjoying the flavor of fresh homemade jams, marmalades and jellies, right now.

Table of Contents Introduction Independent Children Parental Interference Pushing the Right Buttons No Discussions - Just Actions Counterproductive Measures Plenty of Elbow Space Underlying Insecurities Learn to Accept I Want It My Way... Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Once a person has become a parent, he is overwhelmed with a large number of thoughts. Apart from the euphoria of having a new member added to his family, he is also a little worried about the added responsibility. It is his priority to make sure that the youngster who is wholly dependent on him is cared for, cherished and nurtured in such a manner that no harm can come to him while his parent is around. Apart from caring for her child, a mother's natural instinct is to make sure that she never comes to any harm and is sheltered from all potential possibilities of danger. This is the reason why mankind has managed to survive for millenniums. It is the instinct of the parents to make sure that the next generation of their offspring grow up safely, soundly, and in a healthy manner so that they can continue the race and species. Naturally, this is the reason why parents have been protective about their offspring down the ages. Sometimes they are a bit too overprotective, and this protectiveness takes the form of mollycoddling and over cherishing a child in such a manner that he cannot become an independent adult when he grows up. This child is always going to be looking for someone to make his decisions for him. He is incapable of taking his own initiative. He is also incapable of making decisions on his own, because he is not confident enough in himself and his capacities. He is always looking for approval from his elders, because he is under the impression that everything he does is going to be wrong, unless somebody older than him, tells him that he has done things right. This over protectiveness was all very well, when society had a very rigid demarcation and limit about the roles of the parents and the roles of the children. The Fifth Commandment Says - Honor Your Father and Your Mother. This was a very sensible rule in olden times, when children had to learn everything from their parents. But as time went by, social conventions, moods, and norms began to change, as parenting began to be more of a burden than a duty and responsibility.

Their quickness to react and the subsequent ability to change directions in blazing fast speed can provide them with all the advantage they need to win the competition. Almost all kinds of sports are motion-oriented, in which the whole body has to work together to advance through the game. The body must be able to swiftly change its speed, accelerate itself, and/or change directions when necessary. Sometimes changing directions becomes so important that the speed of the athlete is put right out of the equation. All these terms can be combined ultimately into two categories: agility and quickness. It is for this reason that coaches and athletes strive hard to achieve these two characteristics, because once they master these, the sport becomes way too easy. Many studies have been carried out in order to identify the factors that most strikingly affect an athlete's agility performance. The researchers first divided the performance into areas like change of direction and decision making factors. Soon, they found out that in order to attain agility one should not only be physically fit, but also mentally as sharp as possible. Thus, to maximize output from an athlete he/she must undergo training that sharpens the mind and the body; only then will he/she be able to bridge the divide between the competitions. This book is all about the ways in which a person or an athlete can improve his/her agility and quickness. Read on and find out more.

Optimum Program Chapter # 1: Introduction Chapter # 2: Putting Everything Together Chapter # 3: The Individual Target Heart Rate Chapter # 4: The Program Conclusion References Author Bio Preface Diseases associated with the cardiovascular system are one of the leading causes of mortality in the US. They account for almost 50 percent of all the recorded deaths that occur every year and moreover, affect the lives of 14 million people. This number includes those with chest pain, known as angina pectoris, as well as people who have defects in their hearts whichresult in ineffective pumping of the blood. This ultimately leads to the tissues getting inadequate blood. Almost 1.5 million Americans suffer from heart attacks each year and approximately 1/3rd of these perish.Each year almost 700,000 patients who have heart disease, choose the surgery option and undergo by-pass surgery to recover from their condition. It must be pondered over that surgery is not the answer to every disease, especially this one. There are a lot of other options that can naturally do the same job, and one of these options is cardio training. The book will enlighten you about the whole concept of cardiovascular training and how it benefits the body. Plus, it packs a training program which can help you enormously if you're a person who plans to get better cardiovascular health. The next section will deal with the importance of cardiovascular training.

Butter is supposed to have been discovered millenniums ago, when camel's milk was placed in animal skin hides while being transported from one place to another by Arab or Turkish nomads. The ambulatory movement of the camel walking across the desert seem to have a churning effect on the hides, and in the evening, when the milk was taken out of the sack, two new products were discovered. Butter and buttermilk. This possibly apocryphal serendipity is on par with the supposed discovery of wine. Millenniums ago, a Greek slave was suffering from toothache, and that was so painful that she found an earthenware pitcher full of fermenting grape juice left by some other careless slave. All those bubbles made her think that it was poison, and she would rather drink that, than suffer the pain of a toothache. So she did drink of the juice of the grape and fell asleep. And the miracle of wine was discovered to gladden the hearts of generations. No wonder the Greeks had a God Bacchus - also known as Dionysus and the Roman equivalent Liber to whom you liberally paid libations, before you drank wine - for wine. But nobody has told us how yogurt was discovered and by whom. But in ancient Indian medicine texts, the mixture of honey with yogurt eaten every day is considered to be the food of the gods to keep you everlastingly healthy. Along with yogurt, the side products of bacterially fermented milk included buttermilk and butter. Every house proud woman made sure that she kept some yogurt back from yesterday's batch to prepare today's batch of yogurt. These cultures have enzymes and bacteria, which are extremely beneficial for your digestive system. The enzymes produce lactic acid. Lactic acid is what is going to ferment the lukewarm milk. It is also what makes your yogurt sour if you leave it in a warm place after the yogurt has been made. So the moment you see the yogurt set, put it in a cool place.
