Average plank hold times vary by age and gender. In their 20s and 30s, both men and women generally aim for 1-2 minutes. For those in their 40s, 1 minute or longer is a good target. In their 50s, 30-60 seconds is a reasonable goal. Finally, those in their 60s and above should aim for 20-30...

Love it! My doc told me to give up the heavy free weights I have lifted all my life (I am a former collegiate powerlifter) and use body weight exercises to preserve my joints. I sold my free weights and now have the TRX system. I do a ton of core exercises, like suspended planks and crunches and...

In 2006 wanting to give my young family a really nice vehicle to grow up in, I bought a Honda Odyssey. Since I stretched a bit to buy it, I decided to give it the very best PM and care I possibly could, wanting it to "last forever". I over maintained it by a significant margin and babied it when...

I retired this week. After 40 years of 12 hour shift work in the Petrochemical industry doing tons of Laboratory work, I have called it a career. I have served two companies, 20 years each, as a Laboratory Technician. It entailed tons and tons of wet chemistry, GC, LC and GCMS analysis. What a...

Anything Stellantis ever does is met with skepticism. Every single thing, even extending warranties was scoffed at.

So many factors at play here...

I can't remember exactly, but 50K - 60K is what I remember. That said, with a young family of five aboard the Odyssey I did not push them to their limits. Maybe they could have gone a bit farther.

I too owned a 2006 Honda Odyssey. I would give up (in general) of trying to think any tire is a "80K" or "90K" tire. That's like saying an oil is a "20K" oil. Not realistic, won't happen. If you get 50K, feel good. Anything past that you win. Ignore the "90K" claims, Its marketing.

Good stuff!

Heat rejecting window tint if you garage has windows, or solar screens. Out side of that, you need an A/C to really make a difference. If you have a small window, install a window unit. Keep it separate from your central HVAC
