Regardless of how basic the experience and level of the athlete is, improvements and quicker results will be obtained through successive training sessions. As your physical condition and performance improve, your rate of improvement will slow down. The closer this rate gets to its maximum potential, the more difficult it will be to continue improving. When, despite hard training, diet and rest, you find that you have stagnated, or even lessened in your performance, the best options are to introduce variety or to take a break. The later option consists of not training for 1-2 weeks. [2020] - Guillermo Seijas

Slower, longer exhales mean higher carbon dioxide levels. With that bonus carbon dioxide, we gain a higher aerobic endurance. This measurement of highest oxygen consumption, called V̇O₂ max, is the best gauge of cardiorespiratory fitness. Training the body to breathe less actually increases V̇O₂ max, which can not only boost athletic stamina but also help us live longer and healthier lives. [2020] - James Nestor

Once monetary balance is restored, gold and silver will stop being investments promising strong returns and go back to being essentially refined and shaped rocks, as they should be.

There are several reasons why future stock market returns will be lower than we are used to seeing. One is that inflation will probably be closer to 2% rather than the average of nearly 4% that has prevailed since 1960. Another is that pension fund managers invest about 60% in equities rather than 50%. A third reason is that the bond portion of portfolios will not do as well in the future because interest rates are so low. Long-term bonds can achieve high returns when interest rates go from high to low because they are producing capital gains as well as regular interests. For this reason, it's practically impossible to obtain high returns on bonds when the starting point is low interest rates. [2020] - Frederick Vettese
