Watch This Guy Dice a Whole Watermelon in 21 Seconds Flat

Posted on by admin

“DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR WORK” is one way to make sure someone doesn’t cut a hand off trying the “Matt Jones, Cut a Watermelon in 20 Seconds Challenge” shown above.

All right, maybe that’s not a real challenge. Sure, “cut” could be interpreted a lot of ways. And yes, the guy above takes 21 seconds to dice the hell out of a watermelon, but that didn’t seem to trouble the more than 6 million people who have watched this video since it was posted on April 23, 2013.

Jones, the man in the video, is an assistant produce manager at a Publix Supermarket, at least according to his Google+ profile (yes, people still use those). Chunking watermelons is apparently part of the job over there, and given his technique, I doubt this is his first rodeo.

Other than the fact that he’s wearing safety cut gloves, Jones’ feat is all skill. For anyone who wants to try and beat his time, well, please don’t. Take head of Jones’ warning and enjoy his watermelon magic from a respectable, 10-fingered distance.

Knee Tendonitis

Ever heard of quadriceps tendonitis? Sounds nasty – doesn’t it? Well, according to Physio Advisor: “Quadriceps tendonitis is a condition characterised by tissue damage and inflammation to the quadriceps tendon. It occurs at the quadriceps' attachment to the top of the knee cap causing pain in the front of the knee just above the knee cap. With this in mind, we posed this question from a Facebook follower to Brian. " I have quadriceps tendonitis, it has slowly come on and is worse in one knee than the other. There is no pain once I warm up, I could train all day. The problem is when my quads/upper knee are not warmed up. Is the treatment for this different to R.I.C.E

Immune Boost

Ever heard the term “Survival of the fittest”? According to Susie: “This can take on a whole new meaning once the temperature drops, and the number of people suffering from bugs and flu increases!” So why do some people get sick, while others don’t? Susie’s advice: “A common mistake people make with their diets (that results in a poorly functioning immune system) is eating very well some of the time, while letting it go at other times. It is during these periods that you’re not eating the range of foods needed to give the body the key nutrients it needs to repair and regenerate damaged cells.” In this post, Susie explains the important role our immune system plays, and

The Most Deceiving Butt Workout (It’s More Effective Than You Think)

At first glance, this workout doesn’t look too intense. But don’t be fooled—this barre-inspired seat routine will make your butt burn, especially if you keep the movements as small and controlled as possible. For this 10-minute routine, start in a modified bridge pose, without lifting your hips. You’ll focus on tiny, one-inch pulses (called isometric movements) that sculpt and strengthen the seat. Sure, there are fancier workouts with Jane Fonda-esque moves or standing exercises at a ballet barre, but this routine, based on my Bar Method classes, is my personal favorite—and the one clients say gives them the best burn. Plus, you don’t need any equipment, and you won’t worry about straining your lower back or neck. Here, it’s just you, your butt, and
