Why Does February Have 28 Days?? | After Skool
Why Does February Have 28 Days??
We can thank the Romans for our chaotic complex calendar system. February has been a neglected month throughout history. Essentially, it got it's 28 days because the Romans used the lunar cycles to design the months when they should have based their calendar off of the sun. Superstition and politics also played a major part in creating the months. In any case, it's too late to change it now. Please tell us your thoughts on the calendar system in the comments below.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) - Maximum Results, Minimum Time | After Skool
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) - Maximum Results, Minimum Time
High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, enjoys the benefits of both steady cardio AND weight lifting. The body burns fat 3x faster than steady cardio, while building muscle at the same time. Weight lifting alone does little to burn fat, and steady cardio, like jogging, does little to build muscle. During HIIT, The back and forth of explosive activity to rest causes muscle confusion and the body responds by growing muscle rapidly. At the same time the heart rate will skyrocket, burning glucose and giving you an excellent cardio session in a very short period of time.What’s probably most fascinating about HIIT is what happens after the workout is over. HIIT creates a strong excess post-oxygen consumption effect, where the body continues to consume oxygen after the workout in order to recover the muscles back to their preworkout state. So the body revs up the metabolism and keeps burning calories and fat during recovery and this effect can last up to 24 hours after the workout is done.HIIT workouts can be done anywhere at anytime. There is no equipment or membership needed and most workouts are less than 30 minutes.For more interesting videos please subscribe. Thanks!Video by https://www.kramgallery.com/Sources:

Life is NOT a Journey - Alan Watts | After Skool

Watts warns against the dangers of postponing happiness for future success, leading to a sense of emptiness later in life.
