Less gym time, same results: Why ‘lowering’ weights is all you need to do – ECU Newsroom

Repeat 10 times for each exercise.

  • Chair sit: From a half-squatting position, sit down slowly on a chair in three seconds, (narrower and wider stances will create different effects). If this is easy, try to sit down with one leg.
  • Chair recline: Sit on the front of a chair to make a space between your back and the backrest, recline back slowly in three seconds (arms can be crossed at the chest or hold at the back of a head).
  • Uneven squat: Stand behind a chair, lean to one side to put more weight on one leg, then squat down in three seconds.
  • Heel down: Still behind a chair, lean forward and raise your heels. Then, lift one leg off the ground and lower the heel of the other leg in three seconds.
  • Wall kiss: Lean against a wall with both arms fully extended. Bend the elbow joint slowly over three seconds until your face gets close to the wall.
  • Front lunge: Place one leg in front of the other and bend the knees deeper over three seconds.

The Science of Peace

The Twisting Tail

I am utterly convinced that Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War, that nations will eventually unite not to destroy but to edify, and that the future will belong to those who have done the most for the sake of suffering humanity.

Louis Pasteur

lune: the face of war

eyes gouged by forked tongues
blind to peace
suffers to survive


The International Week of Science and Peace was first observed during 1986 as part of the International Year of Peace.


Forrmulated in branches
Leaf after leaf
Piece by incremental piece
The science of peace
Takes root
And flowers in time


Based on the success of the 1986 observance, the organizers continued their efforts in successive years. In December 1988, The UN proclaimed, the “International Week of Science and Peace”, to take place each year during the week in which November 11th falls.
