Quick Tidbit on Sugar and Fun With Slomo

Front Toss In Slow Motion

Here’s a short article on one person’s experience with cutting out sugar. Living Sugar Free. In it he discusses the clear benefit he experienced with cutting out sugar. It goes well beyond weight folks. The primary reason I STRONGLY encourage cutting out the sugar is foundational health issues. You will feel better once you’re over the sugar cravings. The quantity of sugar that comes our way is staggering. Food producers are not helping the situation at all. Sugar is a cheap form of calories that also tastes good. From an economic perspective it is perfect, from a health perspective it is completely the opposite.

This video was taken by Burt one night at gymnastics. It is a front toss on parallel bars. It’s pretty cool to see these movements in slow motion. In the prep swing you can really see the hollow and pop. Watch for the extension in the front swing leading into the rearward swing. I bend my arms early and do not drive my heels enough into the skill. You will see (also in slow motion) my bouncing in frustration after I complete the front toss. The movement should continue up to handstand after the front toss.
