This week I am going to address two questions sent to me last week about glutes and the importance of water consumption.
Water boosts wellness
Why is it so important to drink lots of water every day?
The question of water consumption is very important because many of us don't drink enough of it, but then again, only a small number of us actually know how and why water is important to the human body.
Water is required for most of the body's processes, from dissolving food to producing metabolic by-products. When these foods break down, the food is dependent on water for the correct functioning of transportation. Water also plays an important role in the regulation of heat because in muscular contraction, approximately 75 percent of the used energy is lost
as heat
Too little water, and you'll overheat.
too little water, and you'll overheat. Water also acts as a shock absorber and lubricator for various joints and structures.
What type of workouts could I do to give my glutes more shape?
Improving your rear — or gluteus maximus — can be achieved by sprinting, lunges, cycling, jumping
rone or squats.
The squat is the king of the compound movements, using more muscle fibers than any other exercise outside of Olympic-style movements such as the clean and jerk, snatch and power clean. For maximum emphasis on your glutes, keep the weight behind your head, balance on your heals and squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor (or a bit lower).
This will intensify the stress on the glutes and hamstrings as you thrust your way back up.
If you have any questions that you want me to address in next weeks issue please e-mail me at lockey@hotmail.com.

Gore winning Web site war
In the last presidential election, both campaigns had a new platform
Web Wanderer
— the desktop PC. Four years later, the Internet reaches a third of the public, and the candidates are waging a cybercampaign.
The two official sites, www.gorelieberman.com and www.georgewbush.com both are hefty productions loaded with multimedia. Both have youth sections and separate sections for each state.
The Bush site gains points for easy navigation and a text-only version, good for programs that read Web pages to the blind. It loses points for several sections that have "check back later" notes in them, and it loses many points for a tasteless plug for George W. Bush merchandise on the home page.
The Gore site gets points for the load of multimedia content and for using printer-friendly Adobe Acrobat pages. Its design is also nicer than the Bush site, but it's more difficult to get around.
Yahoo lists half as many Gore satires as Bush satires. I may still have to vote for Bush, though —
Overall, Gore seems to be winning the war of the Web when it comes to official Web sites. There is, however, a plethora of other candidate sites.
according to www.george-bushlovesyou.com and www.algo-relovelsou.com, Bush loves me a full ten percent more. It seems to be rigged, though — he loved Tipper Gore 18 percent more than Al did.
Another fun site is www.olsommer.com, where you can see the candidates shake their groove thang, hamsterdance style, with some great political cartoons interspersed.
Don't go to www.bushcheney.com. for real info. You will be asked for an e-mail address, and based upon the site you are forwarded to, anyone dumb enough to enter a real address will be getting some very unfriendly mail. The second, and by far my favorite, is the Dubya Virtual Magnetic Poetry page, www.adamcymerfanclub.org/vma gpoetry.php. Rearranging goofy Bush slip-ups to make beautiful
poetry — what could be better?
Both candidates for Kansas' Third Congressional District, Republican Phill Kline and Democrat Dennis Moore, have attractive Web sites.
M o o r e ,
www.mooreforcongress.com, has some nice touches, including prominent links on the front page to voter registration and a list of his campaign contributors. It also appears to be updated frequently, while Kline's has been the same for a week at least.
Kline's site, www.kline2000.com, is more text-oriented than Moore's, but it is still attractive. It has less Spanish than Moore's site, but it also has a kid's section. Another nice aspect about Kline's site is that his party affiliation is easily discernible, which isn't true for many other campaign sites.
Finally, if you still need to decide whom to vote for, www.votesmart.org has more data than you can shake a ballot at, as well as a very in-depth quiz that matches you up with a candidate. The Spark, www.thespark.com, has a much shorter candidate matchmaking survey, as well as IQ and personality tests to keep you entertained.
