For those of you who may have seen someone doing a weird thing outside their apartment during most of their life in NY... I can now explain it.

For a long time since childhood I would walk normally for a few minutes, then speed up but not to the point of running, just walking faster and then continue to walk normally again before I even got tired of walking faster. I would do this alternating in a wide variety of timing which came naturally. I didn't walk normally for exactly five minutes followed by walking fast for five minutes or something which would be too meticulous for me to count.

What this does is puts a bit more blood in the legs temporarily, making your veins expand slightly, then go back to normal. As I have learned during medical school... your body tries to stay the same, so if you walk at the same pace constantly... it doesn't improve much, but if you alternate randomly between speeding up and maintaining that speed and then walking normally... your body and the part of your brain that builds muscle in the body doesn't know what to do.

As a result I had very strong legs, and although I had less food a while ago... I have still maintained the eventually permanent expansion of the inside of my leg veins from doing this. Before eating less... I could eventually walk at a fast pace all the way from Astoria to Manhattan. Many people can run but they would get tired and need rest, while I could continue for hours and hours, although I never tested how long, without getting tired. I built up a lot of endurance, although the strangest thing is... when I try running I run fast but get tired very quickly, go figure.

I'm certain that a doctor with a better degree than me could explain it better, but I think the problem with my running was that due to the fumes I would run out of air faster, who knows.

Anyway... this is the reason... if any of you have seen me, I'm about 6 ft tall... and noticed that I was walking quickly for 2 minutes, then walking normally for lets say 5? then walking quickly for 6 minutes, then walking normally for 2, and so on... I was not rushing to get somewhere.

Eventually after doing this for a couple of years while I was a teenager... I would get a relaxing feeling all over during the fast periods, comparable to a very weak high all over the body. My legs, especially my calves, got bigger in size, although they were not exactly sculpted. I think when people lift... they don't know how much they should lift, and they feel like crap the next day, so it's difficult to build arm muscle, for some, but for legs this could be a precursor, if I had not had anorexia... which is just a fancy name for running out of money in Bulgaria for food. For arms I'm not exactly sure how you would do this though.

As the bits and leftovers series: Version Bel stop trying to beef up the police JRs. This concludes episode one.
