Diet Dilemma
Which diet is the “best” diet? And who wants to participate in something that has the word “die” in it? Just to satisfy our curiosity about diets, magic pills and quackery, let’s take a look back at a few diets that were trendy in their time (you know, like last week).
Be Your Body’s Best Friend
We’re halfway through January and some of you are frustrated by the gap between your resolutions and solutions. The other half of you don’t do resolutions and are frustrated more by the fact that it’s a long time until spring break! And the other half of you (this math is taken straight from the calculus textbooks) have given up and are just pissed. Three of you are working out while reading this! So what advice can we give that will make a difference? We can only blame (or thank) our parents for our genetics so much. Then it’s up to us. And by “us” we mean “you.”
New Year = New You Fitness Challenge
Question from a real reader, not unpaid actor or our mom: “Dear F and F – It’s more than ten days into the new year and I’m still not back into a workout routine after the holiday bliss (read: I haven’t worked out in over a month). I’m having a hard time getting motivated to get up and go to the gym (as I eat my bowl of chocolate ice cream). If I get to the gym or take my morning walk I can get in the Zen. What should I do?” Answer from the real, not imaginary twin: Thanks for asking. What you need to do is sign-up for our 30 Day Challenge. And slowly back away from the ice cream.
“New Year=New You: 30 Day Challenge” is Coming
Quick Quiz Question (to be answered for “New Year=New You: 30 Day Fitness Challenge” participants): Do you burn more calories in one hour of hard core, full core, super duper exercise or in the other 23 hours of the day (even if those 23 hours are lethargic and mosey paced)? Knowing the correct answer will help guide your training choices. One GREAT training choice is our upcoming “New Year=New You: 30 Day Fitness Challenge.”
Eating Pre- and Post-Workout
Can you believe that a discussion about what and when to eat before and after exercising involves discussion of mayonnaise, donuts, coffee, and chicken nuggets? What’s a well-balanced exerciser to think? Do we eat nuts or are we nuts? Read and you will find out. Eat and you will be ready to work out.
