  • Summary

  • Two Dope Boys in a Navy jet. The Wingmen Show is a weekly podcast about challenges and opportunities in everyday life. Your hosts are two guys born in Harlem, New York previously unknown to each other. Separately, they became Navy pilots flying high performance jet aircraft on and off of aircraft carriers patrolling the world’s oceans. Their paths did not cross formally until they ended up flying for the same airline after their active-duty military service had ended. They have a wide range of experiences spanning the worlds of basketball and boxing. Drew’s father is Drew Bundini Brown, Muhammad Ali’s Wingman and coined the iconic phrase “Float Like A Butterfly Sting, Like A Bee". Martial Arts and Show Business are also areas of mutual interest. Drew has been featured nationally on television programs such as the Donahue Show and the Today Show. He has also appeared in hundreds of newspapers and magazines. Both are published authors as well as former Navy jet pilots and Commercial Airline Pilots; they retired after having flown the Boeing 777 airliner. The cultural mix of religions, immigrant parents and grandparents from Europe and the Caribbean gives them an uncommon perspective on racial matters. Melding the cultures of New York City, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Memphis, the Caribbean and Atlanta has helped shape their worldview when combined with the life they have seen and experienced having flown extensively to countries throughout the world.They are wingmen to each other, providing advice, guidance and constructive criticism when needed. The goal of the show is to inspire and entertain those unafraid to expand their minds and perhaps learn something new in the hope that the listeners can become wingmen to others. Each one, teach one.

  • How To Exercise Without Exercising? Take a Pill!
    Nov 12 2024

    Sent us text! We would love to hear from you!

    In today's fast-paced world, time is often the most precious commodity. For many adults balancing careers, family, and personal commitments, finding the time to exercise can seem almost impossible. Yet maintaining physical fitness is crucial for both mental and physical health. So, what do you do when your schedule is packed but you still want to stay in shape? Enter the quick exercise routine—a solution that caters to those with even the busiest of schedules. This blog will explore how you can maximize your workout efficiency, ensuring that every minute spent exercising brings you closer to your fitness goals.

    The foundation of a successful quick exercise routine lies in high-intensity interval training (HIIT). HIIT workouts are designed to get your heart pumping and muscles working in short bursts of intense activity followed by brief periods of rest or low-intensity movement. This method not only saves time but also effectively burns calories and boosts cardiovascular health more than traditional cardio exercises in longer formats. A typical HIIT session could range from as little as 10 to 20 minutes, yet it can offer the same benefits as a longer endurance session.

    When constructing your quick routine, focus on compound exercises—movements that engage multiple muscle groups at once. These include squats, lunges, push-ups, and burpees. Not only do these moves save time by working several parts of your body simultaneously, but they also enhance functional strength which is critical for everyday tasks. By performing these exercises in a circuit format with minimal rest between sets, you're sure to make every second count toward building strength and endurance.

    Another key element is incorporating bodyweight exercises which require no equipment and can be performed anywhere—perfect for those who are constantly on-the-go or prefer home workouts over gym sessions. Exercises like mountain climbers, planks, jumping jacks, and tricep dips efficiently build muscle tone while improving flexibility and core stability. By integrating these into your fast-paced workout regimen, you not only save time commuting to a gym but also eliminate excuses related to lack of access to equipment.

    For those seeking variety or higher intensity options within their limited timeframe, consider adding resistance bands or light dumbbells into the mix. These tools provide added resistance which increases muscle activation without lengthening workout duration significantly. Plus they’re portable enough for any setting—from office lunch breaks to hotel rooms during business trips—ensuring consistency despite life's unpredictability.

    Lastly—and perhaps most importantly—is consistency over perfection when adopting a quick exercise routine. While it's tempting to strive for immediate results or compare yourself against unrealistic standards portrayed on social media platforms, remember that fitness is a personal journey tailored uniquely by individual circumstances, including available time each day devoted solely towards self-care routines such as this one described above! Make small adjustments based upon feedback received through practice (e.g., adjusting intensity levels) until finding what works best given current lifestyle demands present today.

    Conclusion:

    Even when life feels overwhelmingly busy, it’s possible—and incredibly beneficial—to carve out just a few minutes each day dedicated solely towards enhancing physical well-being via efficient yet effective methods discussed throughout this blog post! Remember: quality over quantity should remain top priority while adapting personalized strategies conducive to achieving desired outcomes long-term sustainably, speaking here today too, because ultimately everythi

    Say Goodbye to Clutter: How to Get Rid Of Your Junk


    Are you tired of living in a cluttered space filled with items you no longer need or use? It's time to say goodbye to junk and hello to a more organized and stress-free environment. In this blog post, we will explore some practical tips on how to get rid of your junk efficiently and effectively.


    1. Start with a Plan: Before diving into decluttering, take some time to create a plan of action. Identify the areas in your home that need decluttering the most and prioritize them accordingly. Setting specific goals for each room or area will help keep you focused and motivated throughout the process.


    1. Sort and Organize: Once you have a plan in place, it's time to start sorting through your belongings. Create three piles: - Keep, Donate/Sell, and Toss. Be honest with yourself about whether or not you really need or use each item. Organize the items you want to keep in an efficient manner to avoid future clutter.


    1. Donate or Sell Unwanted Items: Donating or selling items that are still in good condition is a great way to give back to the community and make some extra cash. Consider donating clothes, furniture, appliances, and other household items to local charities or thrift stores. You can also sell items online through platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.


    1. Dispose of Junk Responsibly: For items that are no longer usable or in poor condition, it's important to dispose of them responsibly. Check with your local waste management services for information on how to properly dispose of electronics, hazardous materials, and large items like mattresses or appliances. Avoid simply throwing these items in the trash, as they can have negative environmental impacts.


    1. Maintain a Clutter-Free Space: Once you have successfully decluttered your home, it's important to maintain a clutter-free space moving forward. Implement storage solutions such as bins, baskets, shelves, and organizational systems that work for your lifestyle. Make it a habit to regularly assess your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need.



    Conclusion: Decluttering your home can be a daunting task, but with some planning and dedication, it is definitely achievable. By following these tips on how to get rid of your junk efficiently, you can create a more organized and peaceful living environment for yourself. So say goodbye to clutter and hello to a happier space!
