This is me as of December 2009 after starting stopping P90X a couple of times last year. I’d end up going til the end of the 2nd month/phase yet never quite managing to stay motivated or inspired by it enough to push through the last final month of it. Not to disregard it as a program, because it is great in its’ training theories, but for my body after seeing what just old school heavy lifting has done in the same amount of time, I’m sold on old school/body building style training instead (well Zumba yoga mixed in for variety of course.

The Contra Costa Boot Camp Walnut Creek Boot Camp class does a variation of the crossfit “filthy fifty”. We modified the workout as needed to fit the location and the individuals needs. Everyone pushed themselves within their own limits and they all finished in about the same amount of time. It was a great workout and great effort by all.

When it comes to your personal safety you need to make sure that you are prepared to ward off

attackers who wish to do you harm. It doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman; it’s smart to have a plan in place if someone decides to harm you. For this reason it is advised to research different means of protection. Everyone is different and tends to have a different preference on what type of defense weapon they wish to use.

For those who don’t wish to carry around a gun but want a little more protection than pepper spray can offer, might want look into the possibility or purchasing a stun gun or a taser gun.

Although similar in many aspects, a stun gun and a taser gun are not the same thing. A stun gun is a weapon that allows you to disable your attacker by giving them a short non-lethal high voltage electric shock. When you use a stun gun on someone you are basically giving them a charge of electricity that won’t cause permanent damage, but will allow you a few minutes to get away. The charge confuses the attacker’s nervous system and causes movement and thought to be quite difficult for a short amount of time.

Most stun guns can be held in your hand and receive their power from a 9 volt battery. What’s nice is that the charge is strong enough to pass through heavy clothing, but there is no transference to you if the attacker should touch you while you deliver a charge. The one downfall to a stun gun is that you have to be within reach of your attacker in order to deliver the charge.

A taser gun uses much of the same technology as a standard stun gun. The attacker is stunned with

the same charge and reacts much the same way as with a stun gun. The main difference is that unlike a stun gun, you don’t have to be right next to the attacker to deliver the charge. The stun guns charge electrodes are within the unit itself. With the taser gun, they are connected by wires. This is so that when you pull the trigger on the taser gun it is propelled towards the attacker much like a gun. With the help of small barbs, the wires latch onto the attacker and sends the shock the same way as a stun gun.

The advantage of a taser gun is that you don’t have to be right next to the attacker, you can be within a 15 foot distance to shoot your attacker. Another advantage the taser has over the stun gun is that the taser also functions as a contact stun gun if you do not wish to deploy the ‘darts’
