Angelina Jolie’s Workout
Angelina Jolie's star status has rocketed to new proportions after taking on blockbuster action-film roles in movies like "Tomb Raider" and the 2008 action-flick ‘Wanted". Sporting a model's svelte physique in the 90s, Angelina Jolie is now known for her lean, sculpted figure. Jolie's secret to gaining lean muscle mass is her healthy protein-rich diet and high speed, high endurance physical training.
If you want Jolie's tone body figure, kickboxing is key. Kickboxing is a super intense activity that can burn anywhere from 600 to 800 calories per hour. The reason that kickboxing is such a great fat-burning exercise is that the high speed and high repetitions involved give your body the jolt it needs to burn off stubborn fat. While burning this fat you are also simultaneously toning up the muscles in the body and gaining muscle strength. Kickboxing takes a lot of breathing and muscle endurance. Starting a kickboxing routine is very daunting, as one will discover after the initial grueling "warm-up". Making it through your first full-hour of kickboxing is an affair of mind over matter. Many trainers claim that 80% of beginners can't make it through the entire class the first time they come. Keep this in mind as you start out and don't give up if the pace of the class is too much to handle at first. Kickboxing training, like boxing training, is an intense activity that is intimidating to beginners. You will have to exert a lot of will power to keep up, but the results are well worth the effort.
In addition to kickboxing, Angelina Jolie's personal trainers also recommend activities like scuba diving, canoeing, street fighting, and yoga. The commonality of these exercise activities is that they all pair muscle strengthening with fat burning.
Don't forget- nutrition is key to building muscle while engaged in these intense workout routines. If you work out your muscles without providing your body with the proper amount of protein your muscles will not develop properly. Eating low-fat protein frequently is the best way to make sure you are building lean muscle mass. Angelina Jolie eats small meals consisting of low-fat, high protein foods, (such as broiled sea bass and veggies) at least 6 times a day.

Something I Said-Book Review Of Mahmoud El-Kati's The Hiptionary -- A Useful Guide To Black Jargon
Something I Said
Mahmoud El-Kati's The Hiptionary
Dwight Hobbes
MN Spokesman-Recorder Scholar, historian, educator, lecturer, activist and community griot, Mahmoud El-Kati is a living, breathing resource. He has taught at Macalester College, Metro State University and Minneapolis' North High School, enlightening classes and workshops regarding, among other subjects, African American History, American social movements, Afro-American folklore and the social history of jazz. Co-founder of the annual Pan-African Conference at Mankato State University, he received the Stairstep Foundation's Sankofa Award from sustained, unwavering commitment to the Twin Cities' African American community. El-Kati has written countless articles, essays and reviews for the New York Times, St. Paul Pioneer Press, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Minnesota Spokesman Recorder, Insight News and The Nigerian Times on gang activity, African Americans and sports, Ebonics, the "Myth of Race" and more. Recipient of the National Association of Black Storytellers' Zora Neale Hurston Award, his books are Apartheid: Why and What Is It?, The Myth of Race/The Reality of Racism and the children's book Little Zola Shine: A Kwanzaa Story. The Hiptionary: A Survey of African American Speech Patterns with A Digest of Key Words and Phrases (Papyrus Press, $12.00) is new from Mahmoud El-Kati's. It's a fascinating examination of what, on first glance, is idle occurrence – everyday language that well could be called Americanese. As what is spoken in the United States significantly varies from English as spoken in England, El-Kati explains how profoundly African tongues and black culture (both African and African American) have effected and continue to effect that variance. It is, for instance, difficult to find a slang word or colloquialism that didn't originate in an African village, on a slave plantation or in a ghetto. This, anecdotally, is common knowledge. The Hiptionary traces the anecdotal to the actual. "English, as spoken by all Americans", Mahmoud El-Kati notes, "is also partly African in vocabulary, tone, quality and form." He specifies, "[South Carolina] transported a seemingly limitless supply of rice-growing Africans from Angola to Sierra Leone and Liberia. African people in South Carolina and parts of other Atlantic coastal regions profoundly influenced the way that all people of those regions spoke. Hence, white speakers of English (There were a few French speakers) in rice-growing regions consciously or unconsciously adopted or adapted to African speech patterns." He sums up, "The ‘Southern accent' of white people from Charleston…sounds like no other southern accent." Illustrating that it's a matter of an oppressive culture absorbing those it subjugates, El-Kati also acknowledges that such words as Minnesota, Michigan, Chicago, tobacco, potato and many more were co-opted from Native America. He connects modern day Black America to some of its more fascinating roots. "The foundation of African American culture by nameless, faceless people, a people defined as American slaves, as a ‘species of property' and not simply created by individual genius of a Duke Ellington, a Ray Charles, Charlie Parker, nor the individual genius of Kurtis Blow, nor the group genius of The Sugar Hill Gang, nor Chuck D, nor Afrika Baambaata, nor Cool Urch, but rather they are individual inheritors and bearers of a rich [and] intangible culture, so beautifully articulated by W. E. B. DuBois." Once El-Kati is done shedding light on America's linguistic history, he offers a roughly 50-page thesaurus of words and terms that will come in handy for white people trying to figure what black folk mean when they use certain turns of phrase and, indeed, for black people who have an instinctive handle on but can't quite explain words they use, themselves. It's also a useful guide for blacks who are alienated from some aspects of black culture and, accordingly, as in the dark as white folk. El-Kati closes with a handful of chapters devoted to phrases and their historic advent. "A Teachable Moment about Nigger/Nigga, Richard Pryor, Hip-Hop, and Rap" begins "Of all the sordid legacies bequeathed to black people by the "peculiar institution" or "Negro Slavery", nothing is more vexing, painful, confusing, and pregnant than the word Nigger/Nigga. The word is almost beyond category because of its evolving, adaptive, and complex meaning." He then goes on to contemplate for several pages, the in, outs and far-reaching impact of that one word. It's easy, without being the least bit insulting, to dub Mahmoud El-Kati a know-it-all, because, quite honestly, whatever information his mind doesn't hold, pretty much isn't worth having. Such is his devotion to comprehending and appreciating society. That said, The Hiptionary is a splendid addition to his body of work. The Hiptionary A Survey of African American Speech Patterns with A Digest of Key Words and Phrases is available at:www.Amazon.com.
