24 Hour Fitness has recently implemented the cardless check-in at the gym I regularly go to; for a month or so you were able to enter the gym by either showing your member card or entering your phone number and scanning your index finger. Although I had signed up for the cardless check-in [...] I am on week three of my Built for Show routine. I am feeling good, and ready to go back to the gym tomorrow. I have done one little tweak to the Built For Show routine, instead of going to the gym three times a week, I am going four times a week. [...]  My Previous Failure Back when I started The Workout Blog in early 2009, I was slowly increasing my body weight from a low of 155 pounds; for a 6 foot tall guy 155 pounds is low, believe me. I started to exercise, to watch my diet, and to document my progress. Change was [...] Could a High Protein Diet be Dangerous for your Health? That I have found contradicting information about this question would be an understatement, and to a very large extent this post is going to contradict some of the things I have said before. On a previous post, Optimal Weight Training Diet, I [...]  I am not going to sell you anything, I won’t ask for your email or tell you to take some pills that are sure to get pulled off the market in a couple of months from now (remember Hydroxycut getting pulled off the shelves back in 2009? It’s back but I wouldn’t trust [...]  Email This Post Your weight training routine and diet are now equally important, but Professional bodybuilders and nutritionists sometimes disagree on what the right weight training diet should look like. Let’s take a look at the situation from both, a nutritionist’s point of view and an athlete just like you. Nutritionists Optimal Weight [...]  Email This Post Ok, lousy title, I know but that was a real question I once asked my trainer (ex-trainer). I had been going to the gym forever and training with him for over a year, and although I did see some improvement I was beginning to notice my shoulder development lagging behind [...]  Email This Post The skinny and muscular think so; they also believe that fat Americans are lazy. Bodybuilding.com members identified laziness, stress, lack of commitment, and lack of time as the root problem of obesity in America. For someone dealing with weight issues the reasons may sometimes have not all that much to [...]  But don’t believe it just because I say so; science proves it. The following five tiny changes will cut your calorie consumption by 5000 calories in just one week! An incredible 20 thousand calories in a month!

First of all I would like to apologize; my site has been basically abandoned for a little over a year. I know there are no excuses for this, when life got rough on me I just kind of let everything fade into oblivion. I lost connections and friends but in the process [...]
When it comes to working out, a lot of us are brainwashed about the way to get great ripped results. This is a bigger issue for women but I see plenty of men making this same mistake quite often as well. Spending too much time and relying too much on cardio. If you’re spending over 30 minutes on your cardio going the same old speed, then you’re going to be left disappointed. Sure the cardio deck at the gym is probably twice the size of the free weights section, but the truth is that cardio is not the best way to lose fat, to gain definition or to get any visible positive results… quite the contrary… Cardio can actually be ruining your chances at a tight, lean, ripped body!

According to Bikram Choudhury (Hatha) Yoga is a discipline that started over 4,000 years ago in India. Yoga, he says is for everyone and every body. The Yoga routine consists of a series of exercises known as poses. There are quite a few different “types” of yoga, the most popular ones are: Today is day number 62 of my 90 day challenge (where I want to see how much I can improve in this relatively short period of time). My initial weight was about 167 lbs, today I am at 173, most of which is muscle. There is some body fat, which I will focus [...] |
