Have you seen Dwight Howard’s Kiss The Rim Dunk? What about the 2007 Slam Dunk Contest where he completed an alley oop dunk from teammate Jameer Nelson and slapped a sticker onto the backboard which reached 12 ft 6 in?!

Or, did you know that the 21-year old Orlando Magic Center had the most dunks in the NBA last season (254, that are 508 out of his total 1,443 points last season, or 35 percent)?

When you throw a strike, a punch for example, which moves first, your hand or your body?

Many people say the hand moves first and the body follows through.

If you’ve practiced the Silk Reeling exercises of Tai Chi you know that movement begins in the feet and channels upward through the waist and is released through the hand. In other wards, the hand completes the movement, it doesn’t begin it.

It’s like snapping a towel.

You can generate tremendous force for knockdown punches, but you need to practice correctly or you’ll have big problems with telegraphing.

Something struck me yesterday after I got asked the question that all of us have been asked before, “What exactly does a Mortgage Broker or Loan Officer do?”

Most Mortgage folks say things like,

“I do mortgages”; “I sell money”; “I help people get their dream house.”

But my thought process, because I’m always looking at things in a different way so I can write about them, is such that I wanted to go deeper than these answers and get to the actual base of what we as Mortgage people do.

I got a question this week from a triathlete struggling to build up mileage on his triathlon bike. This is a common challenge for triathletes. The trick here is to build mileage slowly and consistently. Here are some tips:

Remember to consult your physician before starting any fitness program.

1. Build up mileage slowly. Most triathletes are competitive by nature and they tend to push themselves to the limit. Out of frustration they might try to do a 4-hour bike ride when their longest ride before that is only a couple of hours. This is very risky and counterproductive.
