The Latrine Squat...Otherwise Knows as the Third World Squat

Again, I have nothing to say about this, other than it appears to be a really good stretch to help increase flexibility and engage your gluteal muscles, which may help with running.  Hmm, might be worth a try.

Cortisol

Don't have much to say about it, other than I want to make a blog post so I don't forget about it.  It could be a cause of lingering abdominal fat.  It's a stress hormone.  Stress makes our bodies produce it more readily.  So does excessive exercise.  Cortisol also helps regulate blood sugar levels, which I have a problem with. I'm a very stressed out guy, and I run, a LOT.  Hmm, could an excess amount of cortisol be my problem?
