Mister Rogers was honestly considering doing a late-night t.v. show in his later years, reading to put people to sleep. Now when you think about it, that man’s incredible authenticity gave him courage to meet a need … do we adults need to be watching violent news before we go to sleep, or cutting comics, hyped-up music, high-voltage super models? Would it not be emotionally intelligent – and good for our wellness – if we had a glass of warm milk and let that incredible voice soothe us on to sleep?

“In a world that prizes macho, he was gentle; in a culture devoted to noise he was quiet; in a country addicted to self-aggrandizement, he was modest,” wrote Bo Emerson, for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “His show was anti-television; slow, calm, predictable.”

“What he tried to do was bring human values to a really unhuman medium,” said Tom Junod, who profiled Rogers several years ago for Esquire magazine. “And he fought tremendous battles to do so.”

Shortly after his death, GPTV broadcast a rerun, a Mister Rogers show on theme “noisy and quiet” that symbolized his lifelong mission. He told his listeners that sometimes they might see television with people shooting and hitting one another, television that was loud and scary.

"Whenever you see scary television you can do something about it," he said, peering intently at camera. "You can turn it off. Then you can show you're strongest of all."

Would that we could, Mister Rogers, would that we could.

“Misser Boggers is dead,” Emily Redmon emailed her brother in Canada … their name for him when they were little. I wonder how many other names he had with children of land.

Vincent Woods remembered Mr. Rogers speaking at his University (NCSU) Graduation in 1996. “He had entire stadium of 40,000 people singing ‘neighborhood.’”

When I read news on computer, I was at my son’s. He’s grown now, father of two, and owns his own business. I stared at computer … “What was name of ti…” “Daniel Striped Tiger,” he said immediately, turning away. I could’ve sworn there were tears in his eyes.

Simone Presley of Dublin Georgia wrote, “I along with millions of others, grew up in his neighborhood…and we all knew him as kindest, gentlest man that we would ever meet…who will replace him? America has been so blessed to have one such as he to care enough for children to give them values that they can rely on forever.”

I join Simone Presley from Dublin, Georgia, in saying, “You are remembered dearly, Mr. Rogers...see you in New neighborhood.... “

Another important area of exercise selection is total number of sets per exercise and total number of sets per exercise session.

A "set" as it relates to womens fitness is number of successive repetitions of a single exercise performed in succession without stopping.

Now number of sets per exercise and per exercise session is really going to depend on exactly what your goals are.

Always treat your very first set for each muscle group as a warm-up, as was discussed in warm-up section above.

Then rest of your sets will be determined by whether or not you are using a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level womens fitness program and what your particular goals are.

Regardless of number of sets performed, all sets and repetitions have to be done with proper exercise form and under complete control.

Exercise Form Or Technique:

One thing that always seems to be missing in most womens fitness programs, and most common and critical training mistake is exercise form or "technique."

Too much weight usually results in poor form, which decreases your ability to get results and also increases risk of injury.

Examples of poor form or technique include, but aren't limited too…

- Bouncing bar off your chest when performing a chest press;

- Using your hips for momentum and over extending your back to initiate bicep curls;

- Arching your back or bending backwards when performing a shoulder press during resistance portion of your fitness session;

- Using momentum in any exercise;

- And training at a fast tempo.

Be aware of these types of mistakes and remove them.
