I checked out the link. I used to do these. I didn't know they

called them Hindu Squats. LOL! We used to call then deep knee bends.

I learned something today. Thanks Gerry!

You're welcome, Lou.

Yes, they're just deep knee bends. I should have remembered

that term.

I also didn't know they were called " Hindu " and I only knew

of that label from Matt Furey, who apparently popularized it

along with Hindu push ups and bridging as the big three of

his " royal court. "

It's all in the packaging. LOL Seems Furey hit it big by

selling this trio of exercises in his Combat Conditioning

regimens.

It's handy to know about them so that we could have our

workouts without any equipment. Of course, the 20-inch

Steel Bow's portability solves that.

If there's one " overall " exercise we could do, I would give

my vote to burpees in their many variations:

I still haven't gone into doing them. Just thinking about them

makes me exhausted. LOL There was a time when I did what I

incorrectly thought as endurance training doing 10 squats

followed by 10 pushups in as many cycles as I could. For me

this was more of an aerobic exercise. Now, I'd rather do

intervals for cardio conditioning and fat loss, as well as

muscle building.

I can't do those yet. I'll try to do 10 or so in a couple of weeks.

I don't think I'm ready yet. I will however do the Hindu squats.

Hello:

I am a new member to your group.

I am a home schooling mom of 6. We follow Paltis/Price practices,

natural healing etc.

It is sure a struggle to eat well, school, house, etc. I am looking

forward to great tips and sources to help me get through my day!

I do have a question. I am looking for more specific information on

how roasting brown rice before cooking it makes one's body digest the

rice as a protein and not as a starch. Can anyone give me any

information on that or point me in the right direction?

,

I have heard of this from a chiropractor I visited. And I have tried

it. Some members of my family didn't like the flavor it imparted. I

didn't mind, although it IS noticeable. I roasted a whole container

full and just keep it in the refrigerator ready to go. I'm not sure if

that is what you are supposed to do. I'm sorry, I can't really tell

you where to get more info, although I do have a book called The Sugar

Control Bible and Cookbook by Paltis that should address it.
