Quite a few people commenting on this article are referencing intermittent fasting as a way of doing calorie restriction. Its worth noting that if you really study IF, quite a few suggest eating the same calories but in the smaller eating window... NOT using IF as a way to reduce calories. I personally know a few…
Benchmade Griptilian/MiniGriptilian or Spyderco Endura/Delica
Honestly, that's exactly what I did to start. Initially, I did only body weight exercises. I got two pieces of equipment so I could do them and did pushups, planks, pullups (negatives til I could do 3 pullups without doing jerk-ups), squats, hanging leg lifts, backups, dips, and bicycle crunches. I always did three…
One other thing I'll mention... all these people writing books or selling DVDs about how you can do more in less time... yeah, none of them did more in less time. They all spent days and hours and years getting the sixpack you see in the picture on the book or DVD cover. The 7 Minute Abs guy? He admits it took him 3…
The only people that stop cardio when strength training are people that want to seriously pack on muscle... ie: body builders. If your goal is to get in shape, maybe lose some weight, trim some body fat, get better endurance, look better, and build up some muscle (not the same as bulking up) there's no reason not to…
I guess that depends on your goals. If you go read some of the stuff on marksdailyapple they'll talk about the damage of "chronic cardio". Personally, I run/do cardio to maintain a base, not to win marathons. So for me, 3 to 5 miles X 2 to 3 times a week at an 8:30 to 9:00min/mile pace helps me meet my goals. I also…
You're absolutely correct... I have not read Jen's book. I read the snippet and article here on Lifehacker. And to be clear... I wasn't bashing Jen or her book or ideas. It seems people tend to think very highly of both. Its the article on Lifehacker I took issue with. We already live in a "skim it via Google News vs…
jen sinkler and all the coaches that put this program together have done an amazing job, and a thoroughly great job explaining it. its evident that you haven't so much as read anything from her, the insanely brilliant coaches that she worked with, or read through this program in detail, because she covers all of it.…
I would sort of tend to agree, but I think it also assumes a certain level of physical fitness as a base. I'm picturing a 1980's leotard wearing aerobics chick with a 3lbs dumbbell in her hand and thinking "no problem". The problem isn't necessarily weights and cardio. The problem is there's this mindset that you can…
Tell you what... let's meet up at gym somewhere and you can stand next to me while I do some really fast KB swings and your knee will be a source to reference soon enough.
Seriously, stop being a troll. Not everything in life needs a source or a URL you can link to. You don't need a source to know that you need to…
Hmmm, my source? Um, well there's my high school and college physics classes... there's common sense... there's experience... there's the laws of both gravity and diminishing returns... there's the centrifugal (or centripetal) force issues... there's the observations made by people with brains as it relates to sweaty…
I wish I could star this more.
Depends... are you running 5 miles a day, 5 days a week cause you're in boot camp? Or are you running 5 miles a day once a week? Are you running on grass/sand or on asphalt/concrete? A 20lbs weighted vest shouldn't hurt your knees anymore than being 20lbs overweight and running to drop weight would. Knee damage is a…
Sure... and the risk of injury will go up as well, though with bodyweight exercises you're less likely to injure yourself (or the guy next to you) with an errant kettlebell swing and more likely to damage your ligaments and tendons in your elbows or shoulders, etc. Plus, for things like pullups and dips, you can't…
I'd be really careful with this one... Remember, "slow and steady wins the race". First, lifting weights *faster* dramatically increases your risk of injury, whether from swinging exercises like a kettle bell or just from moving too fast period. Ligament stresses and tears, tendon inflammation, etc are all exacerbated…
Your Jedi mind tricks don't work on me. :P
Except for that whole MSG thing. You're probably better off getting one of the dip packets from your next vendor at the fairgrounds or farmers market and saving yourself the MSG and other processed chemical flavor alternatives.
The same idea holds true when hiking and such where elevation changes. I can eat the same stuff I eat at home, only if I just summited a 3000 peak I'll have gas. Its just pressure changes...
