Outrage – Church Tells HIV+ Patients to Stop Taking Meds, They’re “Healed” (Firedoglake)

Some Fundie churches are willing to put their flock's health at risk with
false claims of healing HIV+ patients through prayer and purportedly "de-
gaying" people through "de-demonizing." Across the pond, an undercover
investigation finds those practices at an evangelical church in Britain.

Which Areas Of Body Fitness Need To Be In Top Condition To Kitesurf?

Kitesurfing is an activity that has seen vast increases in its popularity lately. Incredibly, the sport is seeing its participation levels rise faster than all other water sports according to the sport's national governing body. It is also one of the fastest growing extreme sports in general, and it seems people are ditching their snowboards in favour of kites, as snowboarding growth has recently been overtaken by this great sport . If you’re thinking of getting into the sport however, you’ll need to get your body into shape. These main areas are where your fitness focus should be.

• Upper Body Strength. As areas of general fitness go, this has to be among those of greatest importance to train. 80% of the work you’ll be doing in the water will come from the upper body and you will need to really develop those muscles if you want to stay in control of the kite. The main muscle group you need to work on are the deltoids (shoulder muscles). These muscles work as 'fixator' muscles, providing stability for the rest of the body. Main chest and higher back muscles will also need to be focused on

• Core Strength. As your body tends to be pulled in lots of different directions and is under large amounts of force, you need to be able to stabilise it and have sufficient core muscle tone. One very good way to improve your overall core strength abilities is to use a core-stability ball. You will probably have to add weights into you core workouts though in order to replicate the strains you will experience whilst out on the water. Often the kite will want to pull you in a direction you do not want to go so it will be your developed core strength that will let you remain planted

• Aerobic Fitness. Whilst the sport might not appear to be aerobically based, you will still need to work on your heart and lungs. Because so much demand will be put on lots of different muscles, they will be requiring vast amounts of oxygen and producing lots of carbon dioxide and lactic acid. You will feel the effects quite early on if you lungs and heart cannot feed the muscles with oxygen quickly enough and remove harmful bi-products at a steady rate. Cycling or running are very good methods to develop your CV fitness.
