This episode deals with strengthening your core. It’s good to do sit-ups and pushups, however, core exercises are an important part of a healthy fitness regimen, which are often neglected. Your core muscles — the muscles around your trunk and pelvis — are a key to good health.
Core exercises improve your balance and stability
Core exercises don’t require specialized equipment or a gym membership
Strong core muscles make it easier to do most physical activities
Core exercises can help you reach your fitness goals

Listen to “The Many Shades of Green” on Spreaker.TMSOG with Guest Maya van Rossum, Delaware Riverkeeper and initiator of The Green Amendment Movement
Our guest is Maya van Rossum who has dedicated her life to being the “voice of the Delaware River.” She has taken on industry, government, and even the U.S. Army, preventing harm to the River, communities, and environments she so bravely champions. Maya is currently working to empower individuals across the nation to stand up for their environmental rights by pioneering the Green Amendment Movement. She has written a book called The Green Amendment: Securing Our Right to a Healthy Environment. In 2013, Maya and her organization achieved a major victory in the landmark case, Robinson Township, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The case, decided by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, revived the state’s long-ignored Constitutional Environmental Rights Amendment, empowering it to protect the people’s right to pure water, clean air, and a healthy environment. Maya has also inspired some musicians, and a group called The Donuts wrote a song in her name, titled “Maya van Rossum’s Blues,” which is about an oil spill that spewed 165,000 gallons of heavy crude into the Delaware.
