My mother and grand mother says and said "when you cook food, cook with love" and I never understood
Til now, when grown. Now I'm not in a hurry cooking, I dont throw things around in the kitchen and whats left is just lots of dishes and a strange feeling of "what just happened", I let it take the time it needs and I do it with care for both the food it self and they who eats it.
What I found out was that food cooked the time it needs to be cooked and with the love and respect it deserves, tastes better and gives me a better feeling after eating it.
A couple of tips when cooking (the three important p's and the big L) to make it easier for you
- Plan - if you can, plan a week ahead, this way you know what to do and when to do so you dont need to feel the pressure or stress of cooking. If you plan for it, it will be so much easier
- Purchase - go to your favorite store(s) or supermarket(s), dont be afraid to speak to butchers or the sales team and see to it that the give you the service and food of the high quality that you deserve.
- Prepare - Since you have planned so well and for a whole week, prepare everything the day before or the same day. See to it that you got everything needed for the meal your cooking so you dont have to look for it
- Love - your food, give it the herbs, the seasoning and scents of the highest possible quality and learn to cook everything from the ground, it will be worth it!
And of course, after cooking with love, invite some good friends, the family or loved ones to the table and enjoy

I have just realized how fun and easy it is to workout with a kettlebell.
I warmup for about 10 minutes on my crosstrainer (recommended training) and after that I swing my 8kg kettlebell in different
programs for 10-15 minutes and what a workout I get!
I ordered one 8kg and one 24kg kettlebell from Abilica Online and I thought that the 8kg is for warmup and 24 is for the actual warmup.
But how wrong I was, when swinging an 8kg iron ball around in different dynamic or static moves the perceived weight is far more than the actual weight.
So 24kg kettlebell will have to wait for a couple of weeks so I get used swinging the and can report the results.

Condition training is, in my mind, the hardest thing to do because it can be hard to the mind.
What do I mean with that it could be hard to the mind?
Well, have anyone been really tired walking up a slope and thinking "I will surely die so it is probably better to stop and rest instead of going all the way". This is what I mean, that condition training is a bit more about really deciding and dont stop just because ones tired. To get good results it is sometimes necessary to go further even though it feels like there is no air left. But thats for the occasional moments when there is somekind of record being set. At least for beginners, for which this short school is written.
So how is workout for training lungs and heart capacity? Well, if you want to be good at something, workout in a similar way. If you want to be good at running 20 km, start with walking a couple of times each week for a month. Depending on weight (if its to high or low) you can go to next step where you perhaps start jogging in intervals, walk one minute, run one minute and do this for about 30 minutes in the beginning.
The important thing with starting condition training is that you compete with yourself and actually put your self to a test sometimes to stress the body a bit for results.
Remember that it takes time to make lung and heart capacity better, a bit easier in the beginning but the more well trained you get the harder it will be to improve but then its up to deciding and doing.
