How much weight can a ceiling joist hold and what factors should be considered when determining its weight-bearing capacity?
A ceiling joist can typically hold around 40 pounds per square foot. Factors that should be considered when determining its weight-bearing capacity include the type of wood used, the span of the joist, the spacing between joists, and any additional loads such as furniture or people.
Do you agree swimming is the healthiest form of exercise?
Yes, I think it's probably the best, or at least one of the very best. To my knowledge no other single type of activity provides the type of complete and balanced work-out swimming does. Virtually all muscles are used during swimming, the water presents resistance, so you get a balance of both cardio and strength training. The reaching motion also stretches your body somewhat. The only deficiency of swimming is that it's not weight-bearing. The only other activity I know of that might provide more complete conditioning is rock-climbing, but that has it's disadvantages: more equipment is needed, and it's much more potentially dangerous.
