A bit of a different post This is my friend Lubabalo He is a level 2 cricket coach (nominated for level 3 and made the top 5) in the Eastern Cape region, but also has a BA degree in Sociology and Psychology He is looking for a full-time job, or at least one where he is paid on time for his services, and it doesn't have to be in the Eastern Cape Life has not treated my friend kindly, and now people are just not paying him for the work he has done If you have any kind of job opportunity for him , please reach out to me He is a wonderful human being. He is very adaptable and a fast learner, so the job doesn't need to be in cricket He has sent out over 200 applications this year but has yet to successfully land a proper job He is just looking to make ends meet and would be grateful for a chance All I want from this post is for a good guy to be able to get by and not have to live in constant stress and disappointment due to financial strain Please spread this around if you can

I often hear from people that they are afraid to exercise. That is a reasonable fear. Injuries might happen if you perform resistance exercises. But you should fear the effects of not exercising more. You should fear the onset of frailty more. howardluksmd.com/muscle-mass…
