Friday already?




Wonder why there's IT training every week now? Remember studying for your last social studies exam? You crammed for a day, then puked out the answers on the test, right? Do you remember any of it now? Probably not. Example: I spent eons studying geography back in the day. Fast fwd a few decades. Today, I can no longer name the capitol of South Dakota if my life depended on it (answer: South Dakota does not have enuf people to have a capitol. It's also a part of Canada).

But I digress.



Point is, physical movement, muscle memory and endurance are all very perishable items. If you do not maintain through consistent repetition, you quickly forget. Don't believe me? Do you think pro athletes just show up and compete once a week? 'Course not. They practice over and over again; probably 10x what you see on the field. When someone says they're "out of shape," it simply means that their bodies have forgotten how to keep their endurance up - seriously, their cells literally have gotten less efficient at processing oxygen due to lack of use...




So be thankful that KJM enfores this repetition with the weeklies. And also be thankful you're not in South Dakota.
