Cougars & Men

I wonder if I have reached the point where I’d be considered a cougar. Nothing is funnier than the Ask.com commercial where the guy is sitting at the gym and he is asking himself (through the person following him) “…where can I find cougars?” Hilarious to me – or maybe it is the voice.

Do you have to be in your 40’s to be a cougar and love younger men…or can you be approaching 40, be in your sexual prime and have a fond appreciation for men? I guess that is my question for today…

Well, because I do have an appreciation for men & what they have to offer…

I will share some tips that have been generated from the minds of men that I think we all could use…thanks to Men’s Health Magazine.

1. Strengthen your core. Save your back, lift more, run more: it all starts in the middle!
2. Tilt up your mirror just far enough to force yourself into an upright sitting position to see behind you, which is good for your posture and aching back.
3. Never eat out of the original container. How many times have you dipped into a pint of ice cream only to find yourself staring at the bottom of the container 15 minutes later?
4. LDL Cholesterol does not mean much as a stand alone stat because it doesn’t take your HDL or “good” cholesterol into account. A better gauge of heart disease risk: your ratio of total to HDL cholesterol.
5. Don’t check in for surgery in July. If you’re scheduling elective surgery in a teaching hospital, shoot for late spring when the residents have more experience.
6. Drink the green tea, the wonder liquid. It may help lower your heart disease risk.
7. Don’t blow your nose when you have a cold. It can force mucus and germs back into nasal passages and prolong the cold. Use antihistamines…and please wipe.
8. The bicycle crunch is the greatest abs exercise ever (based on a test done using an electromyograph machine measuring muscle activity)
9. Use the stall nearest to the door. It has the fewest germs and the most toilet paper because everyone walks past it.
10. Stress reducers! Spending time with a pet is more effective at reducing stress than spending time with friends, mates or alcohol.
11. Lose your gut because belly fat kills. Visceral fat (the stuff that settles in your abdomen) lets toxins seep into your vital organs. Which is why round-bellied people die sooner than flat-belllied people. So eat six small meals a day instead of 3 big ones – you’ll stave off hunger and avoid overeating.
12. Drink chocolate milk…it’s a nearly perfect postworkout drink.
13. Hard and fast is best! The quickest way to burn fat and build fitness is working out using intense bursts of activity with short rests in between.
14. EAT THE BACON!!!! Fat doesn’t make you fat. Too many calories does, especially when you are not active enough to burn them off. Fat is good. Just not too much!
