The Benefits of Interval Training

In the fitness world, interval training has long been recognized as one of the most effective exercise regimens for improving endurance and muscle strength. Programs such as CrossFit incorporate elements of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which involves short bursts of intense activity with varying recovery times between sets.

In terms of health benefits, HIIT has demonstrated an ability to not only enhance aerobic and anaerobic fitness but also reduce blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health. Interval training can also increase insulin sensitivity, which helps the body convert glucose to energy and deliver power to exercising muscles. In addition to reducing fat and body weight in favor of maintaining muscle mass, HIIT can significantly improve people’s cholesterol profiles.

When developing a HIIT regimen, individuals can choose from almost any type of aerobic or anaerobic activity, from cycling and swimming to weight lifting and body-weight exercises. The exact exercise and recovery times can vary greatly based on fitness goals and experience levels.

An Introduction to Public Works

Although the history of public works stretches back many decades, defining public works has proven difficult even for some of the professional organizations representing the industry. At a fundamental level, public works encompasses the personnel, policies, and management practices required for the government to maintain certain structures and services. In particular, public works focuses on those services that improve quality of life for citizens. Common public works projects include utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and telephone service. Alongside mass transportation and communication facilities, many of these public works projects are administered directly by the government. Due to their status as quasigovernmental entities, public works projects are subject to regulations that differ from all other private businesses. In some cases, governments can contract out public works projects to private organizations, a practice that has generated considerable controversy in recent years. Even though these projects benefit the citizens of a particular government, the involvement of the private sector often tends to invalidate them as true public works projects.

Job Costing Tips - Process Creation and Analysis

When properly prepared, a job cost sheet can help a construction company to reduce unnecessary expenses and improve efficiency for future projects. However, approximately 75 percent of contractors have identified job costing as a chief business concern. To create an effective job costing process, construction professionals should begin with a hands-on planning process that involves all levels of staff, including accounting, project management, and field labor. As a construction business leader, you should work with your employees to determine the current scope of project documentation that they perform and the changes that they would like to implement. You should then conduct research to assess the job costing capabilities of your company’s software systems and determine whether a new system will be necessary to track the types of information that will most benefit your company. When implementing a new job costing program, testing the process one project at a time is often far simpler than attempting to apply the system to all current operations. After you’ve deployed your new job costing program completely, the final step is to examine its results to determine its efficacy. A successful job costing system will categorize and assign all project expenses while offering new insight into the construction company’s operations and expenditures. In order to make the most of this information, you should use it to determine details such as which specific materials or processes carry the highest costs and whether these costs can be reduced. In addition to offering insight into potential financial savings and operational improvements, an effective job cost sheet can reveal whether a construction company is accurately scheduling and estimating its projects. Analyzing a job cost sheet can also help construction firms determine whether to add or drop certain lines of business, hire contractors to complete certain tasks, or transfer other projects to in-house operations.

Basics of Flag Football

As a partner in the firm of Greene & Company, LLP, in Melville, NY, Adam Greene draws on more than 18 years of experience as a CPA. In his free time, CPA Adam Greene coaches in the Half Hollow Hills Flag Football League. Designed as a version of football that carries a lower risk of injury, flag football follows many of the same rules of the original game. Each team attempts to advance the ball into the opposing end zone, while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The major difference in the play itself lies in the way a team takes over control of the ball. Where traditional football requires players to tackle one another to the ground, flag football players interrupt travel of the ball by pulling on a flag that each player wears on his or her belt. In flag football, each team has four plays, called “downs,” to move the ball from one zone to the next. Each field has four such zones, all of which combine to form a field of 40 to 120 yards in length. Each down begins with a hike to the quarterback, who can then throw, pass, or run with the ball in an attempt to avoid the defense. Games consist of four quarters, which typically last approximately 15 minutes.

Teaching Pitching to Little League Players

Adam Greene, a CPA and partner at the Melville, New York, public accounting firm Greene & Company, LLP, works closely with clients in the construction industry to oversee financial statement preparation and tax planning. An active community member, Adam Greene coaches several youth sports teams, including the Half Hollow Hills Little League team, when he is not busy as a CPA. Coaching young Little League players on pitching is very different than teaching older players, and it requires a fair amount of patience. Teaching the mechanics of pitching to children is a very gradual process. Rather than discussing all the intricacies of the mechanics, coaches should take it slowly until players correctly learn each step. If players make a mistake, guidance and encouragement are necessary to help them learn without becoming discouraged. This ensures players continue to have fun, which also helps with learning. Several pitching drills suit Little League players, including the pitcher line drill, which teaches release points. This drill pairs players and involves one player serving as a catcher while the other throws 15 pitches before switching. The balance point drill teaches kids about good balance while pitching. Players go through the wind up and delivery motions of pitching, but they stop at the balance point and hold the position for at least two seconds.

Adam Greene of Melville, NY: Football Training Tips

Adam Greene joined Greene & Company as a partner in 1986. For more than 25 years, he has served the construction industry by planning and preparing tax information and creating financial statements. Based in Melville, New York, Adam Greene enjoys rugby, football, baseball, and skiing when not overseeing his company. Whether you play quarterback for your college team or participate in a recreational league in your neighborhood, you can play football more effectively and safely by following a few training tips. First, learn the importance of lifting weights. Performing basic lifting exercises, especially using heavier weights, results in greater strength and speed on the field. Start out trying three sets of eight reps each and adjust as necessary. Beginners should start with lighter weights and work their way up. Lifting helps you bulk up, but you need to complement lifts with exercises that improve overall athleticism. Perform stretches before and after each workout to stay limber and avoid injury. Participate in cardio-intensive activities such as running and jumping rope to boost your stamina. Find dexterity exercises that boost your agility and footwork.

Adam Greene of Melville, NY: Tax Tips for Small Business Owners

CPA Adam Greene of Greene & Company, LLP, advises clients on financial planning and tax preparation. The firm has served the construction industry in Melville, NY, for more than 25 years. Mr. Greene recognizes that tax season can be confusing, even burdensome, to small business owners. However, with the right preparation, filing taxes can be a straightforward procedure. Maintaining records throughout the year is one of the best ways to prepare for filing. You can often claim tax deductions related to driving costs, such as mileage accrued when driving to meeting or job sites, as well as parking meter fees. If you keep a record all year long, you will be better equipped to aggregate total costs. You can also look at your online calendar to make note of appointments and refer to credit card statements if you paid parking meters with your card. You can claim some expenses tied to your home, if you keep a home office. The same is true for expenses accrued during business trips. For advice regarding your business' needs, speak with an accountant or tax professional.
