need help please why you think that the unemployed and those with low incomes are more likely to batter their loved ones​
WINSTONCH [101]

It could be due to stress. Everyone deals with stress differently. Usually they are mad at themselves, like they have failed at supporting and that can lead to depression also.

Can somesome find some numbers that will look legit like I did them and fill out #1 and 2.
Keith_Richards [23]
<span>Mile Run/Walk - 7 minutes, 42 seconds

Body Composition/BMI - 5 ft 6/142lbs/22.9 BMI

Aerobic Capacity - 41.0

Sit and Reach 30

Curl-Ups 24

Trunk Lift 18

Push-ups 23

1.. I think I am in average shape but was disappointed. I will shorten my mile walk/run and work to run the entire time. I need to build up my stamina a little more.

2. I plan to start this exercise routine three times a week so I can build up my strength and endurance. I would like to be able to run a mile in five minutes. As I keep working on the strengthening exercises, I will get stronger and be able to increase my numbers. I should get to 50 sit and reach's and 30 push ups. And, since my aerobic capacity is only 41, this exercise program should bring me up to a 42 or 43.
