TRX 12-week FORCE program: Day 29 + health vs GDP


So I mentioned that I am evaluating a TRX suspension system, by Fitness Anywhere, via a 12-week fitness program (FORCE). Today was Day 29.

Today I led off with 140 snatches in 10 minutes, which counted as my intense cardio, then jumped into suspended incline presses and the other strength exercises of the week 3 and 4 program. Next week the exercise sets change again --- I suspect there will be more sets, more repetitions per set, and less rest between sets. I.e., no rest for the weary.

By the way, here's an interesting graphic, via Dean Bruner: the scatterplot shows adult obesity rate as a function of per capita GDP by state. It is interesting to see the data of what we suspected (think about Mississippi and West Virginia, versus Colorado, as noted in this WSJ article) --- there seems to be a negative trend --- poorer people tend to be more overweight. Is this a problem of education?
