All I know is the same lessons you need to learn at Little League basketball, you need to learn at the upper levels. It’s the little things you learn when you’re little that apply in college.
My name is not unfamiliar to anybody in the dance community. I’m talking the upper echelon of dance studios.
I’m more proud of my upper body. Let’s just say I’m a typical female in that way.
My whole thing is that guys are working out and getting legs stronger and getting the upper body stronger, and the ligaments just aren’t quite able to keep up.
A boot-camp class that combines upper- and lower-body moves – like walking lunges and push-ups – gets the heart rate up quickly, burning fat and calories and toning muscles in a time-efficient way.
Americans should be ashamed of how aflutter they get about Downton Abbey – it’s unpatriotic. I seem to remember we fought a revolution so as not to put up with this nonsense, where notions of station are so unforgiving that upper and lower echelons are practically different species.
Love stories happen in communities outside of just the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
As I walk around, I have met 70-year-old women who live on the Upper West Side who love the show. And I met a couple in Kansas – a couple of truck drivers who drove around together – who loved it. It’s popular all over the place and definitely in the gay community.
I love my accent, I thought it was useful in Gone In 60 Seconds because the standard villain is upper class or Cockney. My Northern accent would be an odd clash opposite Nic Cage.
I do love shoes that make my legs longer. I have the upper body of someone who’s 5ft 8in, so high heels help me even out the discrepancy.
I think there’s a tendency in England, when you look at the past, to either have upper middle class period drama with its own rules, or if you’re going to look at working class people, you have to do that in a particular ‘Isn’t it a shame, aren’t they oppressed’ way, or it’s treated comically.
In the neighborhood where I grew up, it was a rough neighborhood – well, not rough, but it certainly wasn’t upper class or anything. But I remember hearing things like, ‘The little man just can’t get ahead.’ And if you start to believe that, then you know what? You don’t get ahead.
Everything is always grungy in England, no? It’s like a little shibboleth of the upper class, wearing something out of your grandfather’s trunk.
It’s funny how the hippies and the punks tried to get rid of the conservatives, but they always seem to get the upper hand in the end.
I think my legs are a strong point, so I try to draw attention to them rather than the upper part of my body.
My mother used to tell me, ‘I’m fake thin, but don’t tell anyone.’ I think part of her reputation for dieting too much was to do with her upper body and thoracic cage being thinner than average, thus her thin waist.
I’ll just say it was a combination of a lot of people within the AEW upper office that decided that it was a good idea to have the ‘Murder Hawk Monster’ on AEW television.
‘Saw’ is like a big jigsaw puzzle. When you put a jigsaw puzzle together, you put the bottom left corner together first, and then you find yourself working on the upper right corner… That’s the way ‘Saw’ plays out.
If I can’t do one thing, which is a lower body exercise, then I’m gonna use my upper body, and I’m gonna get stronger upper body. If I’m not getting stronger upper body, I’ll be working on my cardiovascular – swimming or other exercises where I can get my heart rate up.
Since the rise of Homo sapiens, human beings have been the smartest minds around. But very shortly – on a historical scale, that is – we can expect technology to break the upper bound on intelligence that has held for the last few tens of thousands of years.
I was very conscious of my upper arms. I never wore sleeveless. I always wore a cardigan. I saw myself being super conscious of my appearance.
People who keep stiff upper lips find that it’s damn hard to smile.
I used to live on Riverside Park in New York, on the Upper West Side.
In England, there is this tradition of the upper classes going to very expensive drama schools and then going on having careers. I knew that wasn’t an option for me. My mother would never have been able to afford that.
What’s aero braking? That’s a way to use the gravity and upper atmosphere of Earth to sling shot a ship out either deeper into space, or slow it down to be ‘captured’ by Earth’s gravity.
George Bush is by American standards rabidly Upper Class – Eastern, Socially Attractive, WASP, 19th-century money, several generations of Andover and Yale (and, while we’re at it, his father, George H. W. ‘Poppy’ Bush, was a former president and his grandfather was the Nazis’ U.S. banker in the 1930s).
Development in this county is always going to be an issue. Until development and zoning are handled on a regional basis, rather than each municipality left to its own devices, we will suffer from developers having the upper hand in suits and in front of zoning boards.
After an injury left me unable to perform my usual routine, I focused on the best upper body workouts to keep myself fit and strong.
I’ve had my eyes done twice. I have had the bags removed, upper and lower. When you get older, your lids get heavy and you look tired all the time. That was fantastic. It freshened up my eyes.
The Delaware Estuary has sustained a human population for thousands of years, but by the end of the 19th Century, increased population and industrialization had transformed much of the upper Estuary watershed.
I grew up upper middle class.
I work out a lot, but it changes day to day. I always start out with some cardio – either a jog, a bike ride, or footwork drills designed specifically for tennis movement. Then I do weights, but I switch the days: one day it’s upper body, the next day it’s lower body. Then I do stomach and back pretty much every day.
I grew up in a little fishing village called Anstruther in East Fife in upper Scotland.
We can’t control injuries and we can’t control things like that. But physically, when it comes down to pure strength, quads, legs, core, upper body, I’m a whole lot stronger.
That’s what my mother did. And my father was the first person she’d met who treated her kindly. She was terrified of men, and she married a very meek, kind, dear man. And she had the upper hand. She ruled the roost.
The people in the Upper Midwest were the same kind of people I grew up around in Idaho.
It’s strange because we think of the upper middle class, for example, as being secular, that they’ve fallen away from religion. Well, it turns out that the upper middle class goes to church more often and feels a much stronger affiliation with their religion than the white working class.
In 1990, when I had just arrived in New York City as a wet-behind-the-ears 20-something girl from Arizona, I spent a year or more working as the personal secretary and secret ghostwriter to an American-born countess in her apartment on the Upper East Side.
I don’t like to brag, but I must tell you that I am regarded in some circles as being in the upper echelons of the elite loony left.
I studied in Britain and spent great moments of my life there as a student living in Belsize Park. I admire the British trait of the stiff upper lip in the face of adversity. My wife studied in Britain, too, and both of us have many friends there.
For me, I always think about keeping my upper body relaxed, my hips level, and my right side down on the turn. If I work on nailing those three things at every practice, I hope that by the time I get into a race situation I can stay completely focused on the task at hand, and the rest will happen naturally.
I would be good for maybe not the center square but an upper square on ‘Hollywood Squares.’
I lived in a basement duplex on 96th Street on the Upper West Side.
The 325-foot Seagram Tower is the most southerly and closest to the Canadian falls and also affords the best view of the churning upper rapids of the Niagara river.
Star kids always get an upper hand at the start of their career. People in the industry often know them from the time they were toddlers, so they show support to them when their film is about to release.
At the upper echelon of musicians in general, I guess performers in general, you have to have this kind of live-or-die, cutthroat mentality.
I’m a little top heavy, so I have to pay attention to that area. I think it was from my years of swimming in school when I was a kid and it just overdeveloped my upper body. In fact, when I started modeling, my back was so developed, I could not fit into any dresses.
The players come out and want to be as fresh as they can, press, keep a team in their end, create chances, create set pieces, and really try and get the upper hand early.
I really don’t like splitting my workouts into lower body one day, upper body the next day – that makes me I feel like I’m working out every day, and I feel like I’m more tired during the season than I need to be.
The several tribes of Indians inhabiting the regions of the Upper Missouri, and of whom I spoke in my last Letter, are undoubtedly the finest looking, best equipped, and most beautifully costumed of any on the Continent.
It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one’s steps to the upper air – there’s the rub, the task.
