When your 10th grade English teacher told you that you could be anything you want if you just work hard enough and don’t give up, she did NOT mean for you to end up on someone’s YouTube fitness channel lookin’ a hot mess!

Video #7: Straight Press Down
With this series of short videos, I’m going to help you avoid a whole bunch of S. H. I. T.
Pull Ups and Lat Pull Downs can be really, really hard for some people. If you cannot do them, here’s an alternative called the Straight Arm Press Down. It’s also good for people who (like me) have tendinitis in their elbows, and need to be able to strengthen the lats without pulling through with inflamed muscles.
Keep the back flat. Bend over at the waist a little bit: You’ll get more range of motion this way. Press down with straight arms through your palms.
Be careful not to hunch forward: You can hurt yourself. Similarly, don’t crunch your neck. Keep everything in alignment. Exhale, push. Inhale, resist.

Caffeine: 14 better options to ease SAD
Nearly a year ago to the dot, I wrote an article about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), but there I focused on the importance of getting access to a full range spectrum of light. Here I’d like to focus on caffeine and sleep’s effect on SAD. I’ll also offer suggestions for what to do to help you feel better on the dark days.

Avoid fish oil supplements
I don’t generally promote supplements. Most of them play to specific, isolated points of medical research to serve as a magic pill. One remarkable example of this is fish oil.
