Upper Body Work Out: 2 repetitions of 10 each http://www.hooah4health.com/body oning/arms.htm 2 repetitions of 10 each http://www.foodanddiet.com/NewFiles/chest.html

Aerobic Work Outs (Choose a different one each day or make up your own!): 1 - Jump rope - jumping rope is actually kind of fun! 2 - Jog in place - boring but effective! 3 - Walk up and down stairs for a few minutes - great lower body workout! (Just be sure that you have a railing to hold onto.) 4 - Pretend you're a boxer and move from one foot to other around while jabbing air. 5 - Turn on some loud music and dance around. 6 - Geared towards housewife in all of us, put vacuum on its lowest setting and push that baby around for awhile, alternating hands that you use to push it.

The point is - get yourself breathing deeply and sweating a little.

Cool Down: Choose a few more stretches for a complete cool down.

It's more about how much effort you put into each exercise rather than how many exercises you do. In other words, make each exercise work for you.

Again, see your doctor before planning any exercise routine.

While author does a very good job of raising important issues of power which relate to race, class, and gender, as well as sexual orientation, he seems to have little ability to rise above immediate issue to give that promised "big picture." Instead of giving us a broader perspective on controversies and crises that he presents so well, he tends to focus on condemning shortsightedness, inflexibility, or selfishness of one or more of adversary parties. The fact that he often has blame aplenty for all sides to a conflict shows evenhandedness but adds little perspective. This focus on conflict is also reflected in profusion of war metaphors in this volume, with chapter titles of "Rallying Troops," "The Making of Soldiers," and "War Bonds." The inutility of such "war on disease" metaphors was ably expressed by Sontag in her brilliant monograph Illness as a Metaphor.

Despite these criticisms of Victory Deferred as an integrative work, it is well worth price for its profusion of anecdotal details and important issues it raises and provides a degree of insight into. Even more than that, it preserves some element of experience and wisdom of many persons interviewed for this book who are no longer with us.
