Learned Facts

This week has pretty much been about studying for me, and for Isaac getting his last stressful week of work done before he coasts into graduation. Though it's only Monday I pretty much always know how the week is going to go. A little wrapping up the chapter I'm on by Monday, a little SYTYCD on Tuesday and Wednesday, and diving into the next chapter later in the week. My chapters are getting longer. It sucks.

Isaac will be working at night this week a lot. He has to train sometimes when it's dark out to get the feel of the real world night application, I guess. He said he has a DUI test tomorrow. I know he stresses and worries, but each time he gets like a 90, so I don't ever doubt he'll sail through.

A couple of quick facts I've learned from my readings:

Food is digested as one of three things: carbohydrates, fatty acids, and protein. The more fatty foods you eat the more they will be stored AS fat in your body for energy later. Hence, the more you weight gain by eating fatty foods.

The more calories you burn, the more fat calories you burn, and the more weight you lose.

Lower intensity exercise burns a high percentage of fat calories, but higher intensity exercise burns more calories, thus a higher precentage of fat calories. The more fat calories that are burned the more weight you lose. Thus, higher intensity exercise is better for trying to lose weight.

There are four muscles that make up the rotator cuff.

The lat pull exercise works the lattisimus dorsi muscle, which is located in the upper side of the back.

The aorta is located in the middle of the body and is the largest artery in the human anatomy.

Arteries that often get clogged are those that are not very elastic.

Bones that form the fingers and toes are called phalanges.

Exercises using a chair without armrests result in great potential for stability and balance growth.
