Why Do Some People Achieve and Others Don’t? [Forum]

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 09:47:55 +0000

Doesn’t it make you wonder how some people are more successful in achieving a healthy mind and body than others? I remember asking myself why this is. Why do some give up only after a couple of months in wanting to transform their bodies to a fit and healthy state, and on the other hand what does it really take to continue a fit lifestyle and wellbeing. The main problem i see with people attempting to get fit and not succeeding is that they do not leave their comfort zone. If you want real results you better start real training. Now this doesn’t mean you have to start living like a monk, but rather taking the grip of responsibility in life. Why not look after our bodies… we are worth it right? When exercising this doesn’t mean half heartedly walking of a treadmill for 45mins with not pushing yourself for results. A great saying that i remember hearing some years back was “You can’t get someone else to do the pushup’s for you” Meaning you need to go out and experience this challenge and conquer it by yourself. Growth Is Key Whenever i workout or training in martial arts i am always looking to stretch myself and my learning. People with exercising should not avoid the discomfort of having to work a little to get the results they originally set out to achieve. So understand that this is where the growth in us lies, not just in health but everything we want to have. After some time i had come to some conclusion that the ones who are out there kicking butt with a great success and growing themselves from the inside out are the ones who are taking the bull by the horns rather than running away. So go ahead, grab the bull by the horns and take that ride. How do you know until you try?

Ravens Rookie Too Fat for Training Camp

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:07:24 +0000

That’s Baltimore Ravens rookie defensive tackle, Terrence Cody. Terrence was drafted in the second round with the 57th overall pick in April, but it clearly wasn’t for his chiseled physique. His teammate Haloti Ngata nicknamed him “cheeseburger,” for obvious reasons. And, it’s because of Terrence’s poor physical conditioning that he was almost barred from training camp.

I’m Too Young to Stress Over Calories [Forum]

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:27:46 +0000

Im 14 and I’m not overweight. I eat healthy everyday. I eat home cooked meals that my grandmother makes at dinner usually. And she worries about me because I sometimes don’t eat them. I know I’m too young to really worry now. I’m always on calories and stressing, even though I do not count them. I’m going to a restraunt this Saturday and every time I eat out I get so ugh! about calories:( everything on the menu was pretty much 1,000 calories and higher. its everyday with this worry, I don’t want to gain weight :l I have this thing in my mind about weight and if I eat something not so healthy I think about it all night with guilt. I’m to young for this, I honestly don’t think it’ll ever go away. HELP

There are so many benefits to be gained from a consistent exercise program, but why is it so difficult to make it a routine?

Heat Wave Shrinks German French Fries

Achtung! Germany is facing a major problem. No, it’s not the economic downturn crippling the European Union, driving up inflation rates, forcing businesses to close, and sending gas prices through the roof. Oh no, it’s much, much worse. Germany’s French fries are shrinking! Unusually hot weather is hurting potato crops in Germany, especially the extra large potatoes used to make French fries. Continue reading…

Am I Being Unrealistic? [Forum]

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:38:44 +0000

i’m 5′7″ and weight 160 right now, down from 172 in 7 weeks. I guess I get discouraged with the rate I’m losing weight. My goal weight is 145. I wonder if I’m being to unrealistic about it? Does anyone have any advice?

How Can I Get Through This Plateau? [Forum]

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:18:03 +0000

Hi! I started my weight loss journey about 10 months ago. I have lost 70 pounds so far. I started out at 270, I am 5′2″ and 32 years old. This is my current exercise schedule: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday I do 1 hour of zumba. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday’s I walk about 1 mile and on Sunday’s I walk 3-4 miles. I eat about 1500 calories per day. I have cut out red meat considerably, maybe once a week, stick with chicken, turkey and fish. I don’t drink anything but water, 1 glass of milk a day and 1 cup of coffee a day. Any suggestions on what I can do to push through this plateau, as I still want to lose 65 pounds.

The London newspaper The Metro greeted the news with “at last” – with, perhaps, a hint of sarcasm. If having your kids begging for an ice cream isn’t enough, how about having your dog pleading with you too? Continue reading…
