Get Into Shape in 20
Minutes
Last month we talked about getting
into shape in just 20 minutes by doing
a super-set workout. The whole
process is done by moving from a
strength-training exercise to the next
without stopping, then repeating the
set at least one more time. This
principle can be applied in swimming
and calisthenics.
In swimming the advice of aquatic
masters is to “Play for effort over
distance: short distance fast, short
easy.” They suggest “pyramid sets”,
which consists of 25 yards fast, then
25 yards easy. Then followed by
increasing the distance to 50 yards fast
and 50 easy to 100 yards fast then 100
yards easy resting 10 to 20 seconds in
between sets.
Calisthenics is a form of exercise
consisting of a variety of simple
movements without the use of
equipment. They are intended to
increase body strength and flexibility
with movements such as bending,
jumping, swinging, twisting or kicking,
using only one’s body weight for
resistance. Usually they are used with
stretches.
Calisthenics is used vigorously and
with variety can benefit both muscular
and cardiovascular fitness, in addition
to improving psychomotor skills such
2
as balance, agility and coordination.
Start with a three to four minute
warm-up by doing 30 seconds of
jumping jacks, 30 seconds of high
knees, 30 of glute kicks, and 30 of
jumping jacks. From there, go into a
series of 15 squats, 15 lunges with
your right leg and 15 with your left.
Go to the floor and do 20 to 25 full or
modified push-ups.
Next turn over and sit, hands on
floor behind you and raise your hips
off the floor for 20 to 25 triceps dips.
Repeat this sequence and this time
pick up your pace. You are building up
stamina. The third time around make
it a sprint doing jumping jacks as fast
as you can, high knees as fast as you
can. Then finish with a ab work out.
Go to the floor and do a plank for 30
seconds to a minute. Then turn onto
your right side and do a side plank.
Repeat on the left.
In 20 minutes by doing intervals in
this fashion you can really feel spent
and that’s a good workout. As always
check with your Dr. before starting any
exercise program.
Our classes consist of Interval
training not difficult moves to do or
difficult to learn. Check our Smoke
Signals for scheduled class times. All
of the classes are now held in the A.M.
when it is still cool. Hope you join us.

SHAWNEE HILLS SAFETY ALERT
NOTE: The information below was from the September/October issue of IAEI online magazine
for electrical inspectors. While the article goes into a more technical nature for most readers the
information may help those who are planning to service their docks and may have power sources
nearby swimming areas. Please visit their web site for more information related to this story.

Ground-Fault Protection for
Marinas and Boatyards
By Cari Williamette | September 30, 2010 | IAEI September-October 2010
Two young boys are excited about being
at the lake for the first time that summer.
While the parents unload the car, they
quickly don their swimsuits and run down
the dock. The first boy dives in, oblivious
to the cold water. The second boy stops to
consider if he should dive in also, or wade
in slowly. Suddenly the first boy screams,
begins thrashing in the water, and goes
under. His friend dives in after him, feels
the electric current flow through his body,
causing his muscles to contract. He can’t
force his body to swim, or even to stand
up. He also goes under. By the time the
parents can get to the dock, both boys are
dead.
While this particular scenario is fictitious,
electric shock drowning happens far
too often. The hazards of electric shock
drowning were explored in a July–August
2007, IAEI News article by Jim Shafer.
At that time, at least 42 drowning deaths
in the southern United States had been
attributed to electric shock. Monitoring
of ground-fault currents in the water of
marinas was recommended to mitigate the
problem.
The 2011 NEC, in a first step to address
the problem of electric shock drowning,
now requires ground-fault protection on all
electrical feeds for marinas. The new code
section, proposed by Joseph Fello of Eaton
6
Corporation, will mandate ground-fault
protection with a trip setting not exceeding
100 mA.
First, where would this new code section
apply? Article 555, according to the scope,
covers “fixed or floating piers, wharves,
docks and other areas in marinas,
boatyards, boat basins, boathouses,
yacht clubs, boat condominiums, docking
facilities associated with residential
condominiums, and any multiple docking
facility, or similar occupancies, and facilities
that are used, or intended for use, for the
purpose of repair, berthing, launching,
storage, or fueling of small craft and the
moorage of floating buildings.” This would
seem to indicate that anytime power is
taken from the shore out onto any structure
in the water associated with boats or
floating buildings, with the exception of
private residential boat docks, it would
have to comply with these requirements.
Mooring areas for larger ocean-going
vessels and barges, down to public piers
and boat docks are all subject to the
requirements of Article 555.
Second, what equipment can be used
to fulfill this requirement? GFCI protection,
using a standard Class A GFCI breaker
or device, is permitted as one option.
UL standards require a trip setting of
4 – 6 mA on these items. Equipment
ground-fault protective devices (EGFPD)
vary from 6 – 50 mA trip ratings and are
currently used for electric snow melting
and deicing cables and similar installations.
Ground-fault protection-for-equipment
(GFPE) devices usually have a variable
trip setting starting at around 30 mA.
This last type of device is normally used
to fulfill Section 230.95 requirements for
services. All three of these options would
meet the specifications of 555.3, providing
the adjustable trip setting of the GFPE
is set at not more than 100 mA. One
other possibility, depending on the strict
interpretation of the code section, would
be a remote ground-fault sensor, set at not
more than 100 mA, connected to a shunttrip breaker. While the main overcurrent
protective device in this option would not
actually have ground-fault detection, the
overall system would be GFCI-protected.

protective device in this option would not
actually have ground-fault detection, the
overall system would be GFCI-protected.
But how well would any of these options
work? Nuisance tripping of GFCIs can
be a frustrating problem. Most electronic
devices, computers, TVs, and so forth,
are limited to not more than .5 mA of
leakage current to ground. By adding
up the number of appliances on a single
houseboat that could each have a leakage
7
current of .5 mA, it wouldn’t take long
to exceed the 4 – 6 mA threshold of a
standard GFCI breaker. Even the 50-mA
trip rating of an EGFPD would soon be
exceeded if the feeder is serving an
entire pier of yachts. Using a GFPE main
breaker for the feeder to a larger oceangoing vessel, with only a 100 mA trip
setting may still create nuisance tripping
issues. Layout of marina power will need to
consider this issue. Using several smaller
feeders, rather than one large feeder, with
an EGFPD at a 50-mA setting may help
minimize some of these problems. Running
a separate branch circuit to each slip, with
its own GFCI breaker, would limit the effect
of tripping to only that one boat.
Third, why is the Code requiring this?
A quick Internet search for “electric shock
drowning” will bring up a long list of
deaths, and near deaths, that resulted from
people coming in contact with electrified
water. The source of the electricity in
these situations can come from several
different sources. Frequently, the source
is power brought out from shore to power
boat lifts, lights, receptacles, and so forth.
The system was either never properly
wired and grounded to start with or it
deteriorated over time due to exposure
to the elements, allowing energized
conductors to come into contact with the
water. But the source of the power can
also be from on-board generators. If the
generator becomes grounded to the metal
hull of the boat, accidentally or on purpose,
any unbalanced neutral current will be
directed into the water around the boat.
GFCI protection on the feeders and circuits
going out onto the dock can protect from
leakage currents on these systems. But the
required GFCI protection called for in this
Code article will not detect current in the
water created by generators on boats.
While this new Code requirement is
8
a move in the right direction, it may not
actually accomplish its intention. Most
authorities agree that it takes less than 100
mA of current flowing through the heart to
cause death. This number can be much
lower in women and children, and depends
on the exact path through the body and
the duration of the exposure. Muscles will
contract at as little as 15 mA of current,
making swimming impossible. But the
Code requirement is a minimum 100 mA
trip setting, which would not necessarily
shut off the power before a person was
electrocuted, or drowned due to their
muscles seizing.
This new Code requirement, while
increasing marine safety, is not a cureall for guaranteeing freedom from
electrical hazards. Extra consideration
when designing electrical systems for
marinas will be required to minimize
nuisance tripping of the GFCI protection,
and additional monitoring of the area for
leakage current may be desirable.
