BACK FRONT BALANCE [4 records]

Record 1 2020-11-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Physical Fitness Training and Bodybuilding
CONT

The body weight squat is perhaps the best lower body exercise a person can do. It basically works all the major muscle groups of the thighs, glutes and hamstrings.... Position your feet slightly wider then hip-width apart with your toes slightly turned out. Hold your hands out in front of you at shoulder height. This will counterbalance your weight and help you keep your balance. Slowly and under control, bend your knees and lower yourself down as far as you can without lifting your heels off the floor and then, after a brief pause at the bottom, push your weight back up until you are back at the starting position.

OBS

This bodybuilding exercise is performed without weights.

Extensibility.-The Clareti SD [Storage Director] system is also extensible, meaning that more physical resources can be added as needed. Cache can be added to sustain the growth needs of the virtual front end, and physical tape resources can be added on the back end to balance demand. This extensible design allows the system to scale with increasing storage demands, without increasing demands on the storage administrator.

OBS
