This morning was an early one ..... not because of kids dancing on the bed, but I had to get ready for my “back healing” Via a mutual friend I got in contact with a personal trainer that

Mylogenics 'release' is a very effective treatment method for many complaints and where achieving results is central. Had not heard of it before, but with my history of lower back pain, visits with chiropractors, (sport)masseuses, healers and other kinds of doctors. So, I wanted to try this out, 08.30 in the morning.

Just to be clear, I do not get paid to write this article, I do have to pay the treatments and there is NO incentive for me other than that I want to share Mylogenics Release with you.

A little bike ride of 25 minutes, nice weather, and Heidi (not her real name) was waiting at the door with a friendly wave. That was a good start ! ! ! The good things started at the beginning all ready, we talked a little, and before I actually ended up on “the bed” I was asked a lot of the history, was shown a skeleton explaining what Mylogenics was all about. An example of what Mylogenics is, I will share in three paragraphs.

So I laid on the bed and told Heidi what hurt and ..... NO, I did not .... She exactly touched the spot on my body where I had some serious knots in my muscles. She used the part underneath her elbow as she cannot feel all the things she needed to feel when using the elbow. My SI Joint hurts majorly and Heidi shared that is like 70% of all Back Problems that people have:

Sacrum Ilium .... (SI , you got it) ;–)

The butt also has some muscles that are a big problem for a lot of people ..... I guess not only the muscle is the problem for a lot of people, but I DO have a problem with the muscles .... Not only the big muscle everybody always touches and talks about, but also the little ones on the side ...... that was definitely a new “excitement” I felt, I was happy Heidi found and pinpointed it to me.

And yes now the third paragraph after mentioning what Mylogenics is and how to explain it with an example. I had to stand up and stretch my arms like in the picture:

I even had to extend to the back and Heidi pushed between my shoulder blades: the Trapezius Muscle. I had to move forward again, putting my hands together.

It felt like doing something that nobody has ever asked me. She activated, tried to activate a muscle that was a little stiff. Felt very nice and was surprised about it.

During the treatment Heidi asked me a lot of questions and so, she also asked my knowledge about Magnesium. Well, I know it is necessary for the formation of bone and muscles, so yes I know a little about it. I actually had a magnesium bath last night .....

Definitely an answer Heidi does NOT get regularly; she knew by now, if not already, I have been trying to get things right with my back ! ! !

The treatment was a little over 45 minutes and I definitely had a good feeling about it. A couple things I had never done on my body, and Heidi definitely touched the right spots. She shared with me that she was aiming for 25% – 50% improvement after one treatment and after 3 treatments, I would be pain free. Special cases aside of course.

A lot of water drinking, magnesium and some core muscle exercises. Looking at my Whatsapp, have a lot of exercises, explanations and of course the bill. People worrying about Covid-19, the treatment is clothes on, so no skin touching. I felt really comfortable with the treatment and now I am looking forward to what this week is going to bring, pain reduction .... or do I have to go back to Heidi, absolutely no punishment, and let her do her magic ..... You will read it here.

STAY SAFE ! ! !

I have played tennis almost all my life .... Ups and Downs due to injuries that lately have been paining me once more ! ! !

In 1999 I hurt my lower back big time and after a laying on a bed for 3.5 months, I was able to go into normal rehabilitation ! ! !

21 years later my back is still aching. For that reason Covid-19 has been a blessing for me .... made me sit out for a while. I think it is hard to sit down, that is why I never gave my back some rest. Now, I HAVE TO, so I had some time off, away from the clay courts here in Europe. This is a little intro to the day ahead of me .....

Well today was the first day of the competition again. Many rules because of the Virus, but we all want to be safe. I was a little hesitant, going to the tennis courts, as I don't want to do wrong, and don't want others to do wrong.

We had to play at a different club, so first thing: Meeting with the team to go there .... We were going to meet at our club to leave with our cars. I was a little early, so I went to the club where our other teams were playing ..... I had to write my name and telephone number down, so they were able to reach me when somebody got the virus. That was the first indicator of this is a different competition.

Less people were watching the games, no more high fives after hitting an amazing shot ... People circling each other, it felt unnatural, but it is just the new competition ! ! !

I left again, going to my car where I saw one of my teammates. We have a team of 8 people, 4 were injured, so the other 4 people had to play 2 matches each ..... a singles and a doubles match .... This was against what I had shared earlier because I ONLY wanted to play doubles ..... well, so far for playing only 1 match ! ! !

1 Teammate wanted to get in my car, so I asked him, where is your mask ? ? ? Not that I don't trust him, but I do not trust all the people he runs into and they run into and all the people that I do NOT know and it actually is forbidden to sit in the car with different families without a mask on ..... He had not thought about it, so he jumped in his own car and we left with 4 cars ..... over kill ..... absolutely, but

it is so 2019 NOT to go with at least four cars ! ! !

We entered the other club where we had to fill out our names, phone numbers and answer questions like we don't cough, we are not sick, no Covid-19, no nothing ..... ehm, friendly match on a Saturday afternoon ! ! !

Normally you greet the opponent, shaking hands, introducing yourself, well not now ... just mentioning your name and sit in the corner, 1,5 meter away from the next person. Yes, we are very friendly together ... Normally the home team would bake a cake or bring something from home, not in 2020, only something that is wrapped with something commercial ..... you have to buy it in a store ! ! !

We just starting talking a bit .... How did you play last we ..... oh, it is the first week ! ! ! We had some coffee and tea and just prepared ourselves for the matches ....

I was playing the first single and well, I was not confident .... had not played a singles match in a long time and well, I was hesitant .... My teammates were sitting together ...... in an area of 6 meters, as you cannot sit next to each other ! ! !

My back was aching a little, warming up, but I was okay, ready to go into it. I won the toss, that was the first W ...... I guess of the day ! ! ! I was down 1-4 pretty fast and my service, well, let's not talk about that right now. I started to play a little more solid, I call it percentage tennis, just feeding the opponent the ball, no mistakes from me; if he wanted to win, it was not because of making too many errors from my side ! ! !

I actually won the first set with 7-5; I was pretty pleased with that, as I fought for it and well, my tennis was not the best. My back did not feel great, but well, hopefully I was able to keep up with it ......

Well, no, that actually did not happen, keeping up. Immediately in the opening game of the second set, it went wrong. I had to reach for a ball and I felt something in my back. Not really bad, but it hurt...

I did not want to stop, so I kept on playing ..... Well, I was down 4-0, it was not going to improve, only hurting myself, so I told my opponent it was not going to work out. I forfeited and well, that was the beginning of the competition.

My teammate asked me if I was going to play doubles ... Really ? ? ?

10 Minutes ago I got out of the bathtub. Took a nice hot bath filled with Magnesium Flakes .... My back was a little at ease .... Sitting in my chair, I ran into something new, for me, in the Massage / Chiropractor World: Mylogenics ‘Release’ I have not tried it before, so I am going to test it tomorrow ..... I hope it is going to help me ....

Will keep you guys up to date

***STAY SAFE ! ! !

the jigsaw puzzle is laying there; worked on, so time for an update ! ! !

Still the chaos theory in place and I actually like it. Working on ......... what I want to work on ! ! !

The air was the next part I wanted to work on. All pink, with a rainbow on between and I remember from last time, it was not the easiest ! ! !

Took us a little, Noah was all over the rainbow, little tough for him but I gave him the pieces, and he put them together; good job buddy. Turned into the following:

It is so much fun seeing it coming together. While we were on the air, some butterflies and birds were finished And we had to work a little more on the elephants. It started to look better:

All the details, love it, that the puzzle is so big, so all animals have a lot of pieces:

Now, the sides had to be done. What still needed to be fixed; if you put the sides, it is easier to focus on, so time to put everything together:

As you can see, it looks so much clearer now, we thought we were pretty far but as you can see....... we still need to do a lot ! ! !

And the most horrible part:

Although I probably touched every single piece like 24 times....... I am missing one of the side pieces ......... well, will get it hopefully before the next post

STAY SAFE

In 2017, I had the opportunity to enter a company emergency response training, also known as first aid. You learn everything about CPR and everything that comes with it, burns, hart massage, cuts and wounds and all in between. I don't know what drew me to the course, but I felt I had to do it. I was picked, did the course and received a diploma.

All nice but you need to keep up the techniques. Things change and if you want to stay up to date on the last tips, tricks and tools, you keep on studying. I have an app on my phone that shares the latest updates and it also tells “the App” I am a qualified medical person when it comes to acting on the spot; really acting is a different level though.

In my life I have been (re)acting twice and in both cases I was not fortunate enough to bring the person back to live. They both suffered a cardiac arrest and in both situations the person was just not healthy enough to come back to life. 9 out of 10 people are not strong enough anymore. A heart just doesn't stop; most of the time there are other complications, and in my situations the first person had suffered a pneumonia and the second person had a panic attack under water and probably had been there already for numerous minutes. The heart is a delicate piece of the body you need to take care of.

Every year, approximately 17,000 people experience cardiac arrest outside the hospital in the Netherlands. The average age is 67 years and 70% are men. For me THAT is a reason to stay up to date on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: CPR ! ! ! For the US it is over 350.000 people and to give you another statistic, 90% dies .... Period ! ! !

CPR is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. That is right, the person is not living anymore; you are trying to revive a person. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest.

Last night, I came home with my son and we started dinner with the three of us, when I got a text message. Part of it I deleted, but this was the message:

Translated:

Get the Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) from ....... go to ...... and send the following text message: YES to .....

I started to think immediately. Put on my shoes, got to my bike, as it was not far away and going by car would be slower ...... As the address was closer to my house I chose NOT to pick up the AED as that would cost too much time. As I arrived at the address, I already saw the Ambulance in the street .... Am I that slow, or was the Ambulance that fast .......

I immediately went to the ambulance and showed them the message and asked if all was okay. As I did I received a new text message with a cancelation of the emergency ..... At least it works

So, I was shared the status of the person and to leave out all the details, it had not been a cardiac arrest but a heart attack. Both dealing with the heart, but a world of difference when dealing with medical attention needed.

The medical people pointed me to the arriving policemen and left without the person that needed care. My name was written down and I was thanked for my quick response. I told them I was happy that the system works that well and that the app gave me the alert, because “it knew” I was having particular knowledge ....

Looking back at the situation I am really happy it went down this road and that the professionals were here soooo fast.

I know what I have to do, but it is always scary, but tomorrow, if it would happen again, I jump on my bike, take my car and go where ever I am needed.

I will leave another paragraph for you to think about.

5 reasons why you should learn CPR:

1. Easy to learn. Most of the time just 1 extensive training and you have to stay up to date.
2. Increased Chances of Survival. While you always want to try to bring a person back to life, it is more vital to keep the oxygen flowing to the brain. This will keep the organs doing their task.
3. Increase Confidence. Don't downplay this reason as it DOES. I am confident, so I jump on my bike, I act because of the training.
4. Save someone you care about. You want your loved ones to stay with you, well make it happen when they need your help.
5. Get to Use Lifesaving Technology. AED's are there for non medical people to help people in need. If you can use these tools, you will be able to help ! ! !

Maybe it is difficult right now, with the virus spreading, but if you get the chance to do a(n) (company) emergency response training, go for it. You never know if you need it one day, I hope not of course that you need to put the knowledge in practice,

BUT:

You can only hope others will do the same when you are in the horizontal position in need of somebody else ....

STAY SAFE ! ! !

I am an ‘80s kid, I won’t lie. Love it. Shared it before, love the music and love the movies.

Wax on wax off, yes, I have seen that multiple times. Everybody that lived through the ‘80s, knows Daniel LaRusso and Mr Miyagi ! ! !

And now I am able to live it with my son .... Cobra Kai hit Netflix. Yes, I have seen Season 1 when it hit YouTube, but now I am watching it together with my son...... oh, my wife is watching also.

It brings back good memories, familiar lines: bring him a body back, sweep his leg, wax on wax off...... the series shows many flashbacks.......

I don’t want to talk about the movie though, but about my Karate history. The movie showed me that I wanted to go for it. I wanted to do the whole training like Daniel ...... I was ready to catch flies with chopsticks ! ! !

So, I signed up for Karate lessons, well, my parents signed me up ! ! ! I remembered had an awesome karate outfit and I was the (little) man ! ! !

So I got out of the changing room and as soon as I got on the floor, I started to cry ( read scream, sounds better), I just stepped into a thumtag (push pin) ....... well with the help of the trainer, the pin was taken out and the blood gushed out. Well, once again, that makes the story better and how I remembered, but it was probably a couple drops.

I hated karate, I hated Daniel SAN, I hated waxing. Karate, not for me ! ! ! So, when I heard about the series, I started to sob a little, those memories, but yes, I seriously like it. Will watch both seasons and will watch Noah going into the dojo when he has his first training; that he is not stepping into something ............

STAY SAFE ! ! !

Difficult for children going back to school. Although nice seeing all the children again, being together with mommy and daddy is nice also. So nice to have some games to actually get back into the swing of learning things.

We have been practising these little things, fun, so let's share some ideas getting back into the groove ! ! !

if you have little kids, sit down with them and let's get it done ! ! !

As I have spent a couple years in the States, I definitely enjoy a good Halloween Party; scaring each other, nice .... on Halloween's Day though, as the Crypto Market likes to scare us also from time to

time ! ! !

I remember going to haunted houses, was a lot of fun, making it to the end, knowing it was fake, well, still scary moments. Been in one that was made by illusionists, I can tell you there were moments that I was like:

IS THAT FAKE ! ! !

Cut off fingers, eyes popping out, sweet looking puppies with

FEROCIOUS TEETH ! ! !

Years later, 2019, first year to go trick or treat ... it has been incorporated in Dutch life. Dutch entrepreneurs want to make a buck or two also and so the party on the thirty first of October.

So where is this going. I was in the store today and well special day today .... I found myself looking at the first Halloween thingies. I mean did I wanted to buy, NO , absolutely not, but having the opportunity, buying this already is a WOW moment for me. September 4, on the birthday of my twin brother, all that orange ! ! ! About 2 months of opportunity to decorate the house.

And if you thought it was gaining dust in the store, well guess again:

So, I was surprised to share the least ....... Going to the next isle, I just went crazy:

CHRISTMAS ! ! !

That is another 2 months in the future..... I mean, eh , yeah what do I mean. I don't know anymore. 2020, it has been crazy, it has been off the charts and well, what to expect, well, expect the unexpected.

Probably people are ready to celebrate, having a good time and hopefully leaving all sorrows behind. I know I have my bad moments, especially in my head, but thinking about Halloween and/ or Christmas do not take those away.

2 months / 4 months WOW
