In this B&W edition, Billy Nuzzo presents, The Zero-Minute Workout (with Team X), using the simple techniques of an Xer-task: sharing or trading the same time already being used - doing something else - with an exercise.
Looking good at 20 or even 35 is fairly easy. It's called, "youth." It's normal. Looking good and youthful - Billy at 69 and Inara at 43, with pictures to prove it - may not be normal, but it should be. And Team X has the knowledge, the results and the age to back them up. Nothing is wrong with youth. We all want it. But if done right, age brings a few things that youth doesn't usually have: life experience, acquired wisdom and substantiated proof. In other words, Team X knows what they're talking about.
Team Xis Billy Nuzzo and Inara Lopetaite: two uniquely-qualified Fitness Coaches who've joined forces (with Daniel "Danny" Akin, as Co-Creator/ Writer) to share their knowledge so, along with your effort, dedication and persistence, you can be your best. Together, they have created The Zero-Minute Workout, combining various exercises with everyday activities (or inactivity) into an Xer-task, to inspire the habit of consistent, daily exercising.
Back in the day, our ancestors got their exercise as part of their daily routine. Sadly, technology has made that practice almost obsolete. The Zero-Minute Workout returns to basics by bringing exercise back to the task at hand with Xer-tasking. It reestablishes exercise as a natural function in our daily regimen, by essentially using our time twice - like walking and chewing gum. While traditional workouts rely on timed routines, The Zero-Minute Workout presents a new/old way to exercise; a 24/7 circuit to get you started and keep you going with a healthier, energized lifestyle on a consistent basis.
So much of our days are spent in passive activities that could easily share or even exchange their minutes with a better use of our muscles. Or our lives are spent waiting; waiting in traffic, waiting in line, waiting for a pot to boil, simply waiting and wasting time. Why not use our time better? Or use it again? The Zero-Minute Workout utilizes those static moments with Xer-tasks, relying on exercises that can provide the most benefits by either piggybacking on or substituting for the time another task is already using; exercises and routines you can do throughout your day or night, practically anywhere - either as a stand-alone program or as a supplement to an existing workout regimen you are already doing. However, it can only give you a framework for action. You will have to do the rest. But rest assured, The Zero-Minute Workoutis not one of those intense workouts with unrealistic claims and expectations. Itis a straight-forward, bare-bones program of simple exercises that work. And Team X is here to help.
With no outrageous claims, The Zero-Minute Workout presents an honest, daily approach to exercising and getting fit with individual exercises and workout routines that are simple, practical and effective. Whether you are 14 or 104 (and approved by a physician to exercise) you can improve and maintain your fitness with determination and the right motion and activity; the right Xer-task. On that Team X guarantees.

Описание: Symbiosis in nature is the interaction between two distinct species looking to forge closer long-term relationships. There are three types of interactions; "Mutualism" (honey bees and flowers for example, where both species benefit), "Commensalism" (A bird`s nest on a tree for example, where one species benefits whilst the other is not harmed) and "Parasitism" (humans and mosquitoes for example, where one species benefits and the other is harmed). Symbiotic, human to human interactions seek to form closer long-term relationships based on "Mutualism", the type of interaction where there is mutual benefit. In the business context, symbiosis happens when key stakeholders collaborate as true partners (not adversaries) for mutual benefit. Assets exist to provide value to the organization and its stakeholders. The hotel asset owner through his representative interacts with the hotel brand operator to create value; find improvements, find opportunities. This book primarily looks at hospitality management, key relationships and the complex operational dynamics between two key stakeholders; hotel asset owners and their branded hotel operators focusing on five key principles and a symbiotic leadership approach as a key enabler. There is a lot of room for improvement and it is this crucial relationship that is examined. This guidebook has been written for hotel brand operators, hotel asset owners and their representatives who are managing, overseeing or monitoring a business venture for themselves or on behalf of others. It is also a valuable guide for students of hospitality as well as the curious layman - anyone who has stayed in a hotel.

Описание: The voice of God is the source of faith for the believer. Relationships require communication to be effective and our relationship with God is not different. God wants to talk to us, but with the devil out there constantly trying to impersonate Him, do we know how to test the voices we hear and be sure that the voice of God is the one we act on? Following the death of Christ on the cross, the veil of the temple was torn into two, opening the way for God to speak to every believer directly. Yet, a lot of believers still depend on others to hear the voice of God for them. All the people who did great exploits in the Bible all heard the voice of God. Is it possible that, we today, can also do exploits by hearing the voice of God ourselves? In "Understanding the Voice of God," Akin provides fresh insight into hearing and validating the voice of God. In his characteristic thought provoking style, he shares thoughts that will help you discover the voice of God yourself. He says, "It is not possible for you to search the Word of God with the intention of hearing Him without you discovering Him." You will learn about: - The voice of the believer - Validating the voice in your spirit - The benefits of hearing the voice of God - and lots more.

Описание: Work is the one thing almost everyone has to do in life. Not to engage in some sort of work is to be labelled unemployed, idle or unproductive. Economists track the level of unemployment as a measure of a nation's economic well-being. So governments need to have policies in place to tackle this social and political problem. A key issue though, is whether we have the right concept of this universally important word "Work". In this book, Akin, in his characteristic thought provoking style, shares principles that will help every individual develop a concept of work and increase their productivity. Akin focuses on the paradigms individuals need to embrace to be productive at work. He says, "The dimension of possibilities open to the creator of a product is not determined by the raw materials available but by the knowledge in the mind of the creator." Have you ever had an idea you did not work on because of one obstacle or another that you could not overcome in your mind and then, in a meeting, someone else brings up the same idea which is accepted by all and you want to scream, "That was my idea " Well, next time work the idea.

What is the meaning of "I am with you always, to the end of the age"?

"40 Questions About the Great Commission is an indispensable text for any pastor, professor, or student who cares about the Christian mission. In it, a biblical scholar, missiologist, and seminary president join forces to answer every question you've ever asked--or never asked--about our Lord's parting commission to his disciples. Substantive, lucid, and compelling." --Bruce Ashford, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary "The church has one job. It is called the Great Commission. Every Christian soldier should know the who, the what, the why, and the where of the marching orders left by our Lord and Commander-in-Chief, and this book does just that in an engaging and encouraging way. Read it and then get on with it " --James Merritt, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "This book is a succinct and at the same time wide-ranging exposition of the commission of Jesus given to the disciples and thus to the church to proclaim the gospel far and wide. The authors elucidate the meaning of key passages in Scripture and thus present the geographical scope, the theological content, and important historical parameters of the mission of the church. This book deserves to be read by every Christian believer committed to the glory of God in all the world and to the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ." --Eckhard J. Schnabel, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
