I learned it (starter) is a switch, that opens mere seconds after turn-on to start the fluorescing.
I still dont know how to test it!
Connect it to a bulb within the rated specs?
Have never heard of a multi-meter test to check a ballast, but, then again, I'm not an electrician either. ;)

Functional training is a term that’s been flung around for a decade (or two?) now. The irony wasn’t lost on most that the back to basics use of minimal equipment, during workouts intended to train the body in a multi-planar manner, was now “new fangled”. Within that theme, however, training has been pared down to functional training using primarily bodyweight. That’s right—nothing but you-glorious-you. I, for one, am grateful for the “trendiness” of this. Professionally, I applaud that more and more folks are gaining stability and mobility via use of their own physical structures versus isolating body parts, the latter virtually perpetuating the imbalances that need correcting in their posture and movements. Personally, I love 2 things beyond what I just mentioned…
Confidence . As someone with a poor self-image (“I’m overweight”, “I’m unathletic”, “I’m not coordinated”), learning to use my own body during workouts has made me much more confident about my abilities. It’s also made me much more willing to try new things. I figure, “Well, I managed that, why not try this?” I’ll never be a high level gymnast, but I’ll bet if I’d had this level of confidence as a kid I’d have tried more daring things in P.E. class. Either way, even at nearly-40 it’s hardly too late to get fit and have fun trying new movements. Perhaps it’s in the coaching. Seems like trainers now are better-smarter-more qualified, and they are so much better at dialing things up or down. Heck, some of them have made a training career out of bodyweight training specifically. Nevertheless, there was nothing like it the day I achieved a rolling squat (aka deck squat) after a couple of failed attempts in previous workouts. J Many continue to give props to the use of gym machines for the elderly. I beg to differ. That population is woefully short on stability AND mobility. With proper modifications...
