Today we will examine some of the training variables that allow you to see continual progress, and remain injury resistant. Continue reading…

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

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…

Ice Cream Van for Dogs Launched in UK

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…

Naturally Gluten-Free Grains May Be Contaminated

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 10:00:28 +0000

If you have celiac disease, a new study warns you may need to be extra cautious of foods, which you assume to be naturally gluten-free. Grains such as oats, millet, and rice don’t contain the protein, which triggers an adverse response in those with celiac disease. But, according to a survey published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association , some of the products they tested unexpectedly had traces of gluten. Continue reading…

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:16:27 +0000

England may not be able to beat the US in soccer, but they are trending towards leaving them in the dust when it comes to overweight kids. Ditto for Spain and Italy. Researchers discovered that British children were spending double the amount on candy compared to their counterparts on the other side of the pond – $570 USD a year on average – about 850 Mars bars! In comparison, US children were “only” spending about $230. Continue reading…

Link Time! Mel Gibson, 5 Second Rule, and More

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 10:04:38 +0000

Everyone has different motivations for exercising, but this is a new one: A New Jersey gym claims to have put Mel Gibson’s face on every one of their treadmills. If his abusive rants get your blood boiling, burn off the calories while you let off some steam. Gerry wrote about chocolate milk recently, but over at Divine Caroline there’s an argument for not drinking milk at all. I rarely drink milk, but I’d be lost without low-fat dairy products . Do you still think milk is part of a healthy diet? Continue reading…
