All I will say is watch the countdown, follow the link (by clicking on the clock) and add your name to the list. Something new is coming to all my sites and if you add your name to the list, you may win a prize. We cannot say what the prize is, but I will say it won’t be small!
This is going to be good. Very Good!
I have established a new relationship with a great new community resource; OpenSky. More details about what you can get from it
in the coming weeks. In the meantime, they sent me a Pilates/Yoga Mat to test out from Aurorae Yoga Mat. Just pulled it out of the box and already I like what I see.
My laptop and Google Nexus phone (which I love) necessitate that I use my thumb in a repetitive motion so much so that I
have a new compressed joint that requires a massage to release it every few hours. Funny that the greatest improvement to most our lives (technology, computers and smartphones) can and will cause so much more stress to our physical being.
Need a Private Coach to keep you pumped and focused on your weight loss training? Need a little guidance on how to work effectively for 45 minutes in the gym or home? Need support and guidance on how to stretch those tight hamstrings after your run?
Very cool, I think, for making so much heat and fire inside. Just a few of my friends, neighbors and students doing what we do when “we” workout.
Inside, outside, group or private, using the core abdominal to perform every activity is the best way to stay fired up and ready to work, burn and move.
What does your workout look like?
Plain and simple. No need to say anything more. Do we get it?
THE FACTS
Lifting heavy weights makes you big and bulky — or at least that’s the conventional wisdom. It’s the reason many women (and some men) who want slim and “toned” physiques opt for lighter weights, lifted more times.
But the notion is not supported by science. Producing bulky muscles requires not just heavy weights but heavy calorie consumption as well, typically far above the 2,000 daily calories recommended for many adults. Read the rest of this entry →
During the winter months you might find you need a little extra energy to throw around that snow, shovel under those tires and tredge those bags up the icy steps. Comfort food with that lean protein, right?
Eating the right kind of carb – prepared the right way – can give you the extra fuel source you need without compromising all the hard work you are doing with your body.
This is a good read for those young males seeking to train your body to add “bulk” with the use of supplements. There
may be a few hidden “ah-ha’s” in the NYT article.
I found it in stark contrast to the Healthy Aging, With Nary a Supplement by Jane Brody a few days earlier, which was aimed at the older fitness consumer, more likely female, such as myself (and a avid supplement user of Tonalin CLA, Collagen + C and Reservatrol; none of which are mentioned/referenced in the Brody article) where conscious attention is recommended toward healthy diet and exercise and a deep bent toward natural supplementation from the nutrients derived in our food choices.
Happy holidays to all. Keep it healthy, keep it smart, keep everything in control for the next few weeks, for it will be easier and less stressful after it is all over in the new year.
This article appeared in the New York Times a few weeks ago and may be a helpful reminder as we approach the “eating season” in the coming holiday weeks. Short of the story, you must use it to lose it and do it by creating a caloric deficit.
