Keep it Simple Workout Plan

Some trainers are very protective of their programs, because of the specificity needed for each client and the time put in to the task of making the program. 

Understood. 

But all great chefs have cookbooks, right?  Telling you exactly how to cook their recipe, even the one used in their famous restaurant.  So why aren't they scared of you taking their cookbook, opening a restaurant, and becoming a world-famous restaurant?  The secret to the cookbook is the chef's experience, the ability to change variables (ingredients) and to mass produce them. 

20 Food Tips To Go (Print and read!)

So I've been thinking about food lately, have even begun a new project with my own food intake.  In the process, I have come across a lot of information (in this case, 20 food 'bits') that took me by surprise in some cases, and in others was just a review.  But either way, feel free to print this page out, or just open on your mobile device and read it on a plane, train, etc.  Either way, enjoy!

9 Food Tips that you Probably Knew


1. Stop eating before you’re full! You will feel full roughly 10 minutes after a meal if you stop eating when the food begins to lose some of its taste

Kettlebell Practice

So you're looking to improve your metabolism, and you're fluent with kettlebell movements (hopefully more than Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper).

This is just the article for you. Follow this program for 3 weeks, then take a week off of all Kettlebell movements to let your joints rest and recover.

February 2011 Workout Summary

FEBRUARY SUMMARY:

Good:

• I only took one day off working out (5 workouts in 6 days) on my vacation; Dreams Punta Cana had a decent weight room with barbells and a full cable setup
• New shoulder routine seems to be helping round out rear delts (special thanks to John Meadows on http://www.tmuscle.com/)
• Couple new pieces of training equipment at the studio include Gray Cook Cable Bar, the Stick, and a Slide Board

Organic versus non-organic?

Pesticides. Hormones. DDT.

Sound appetizing? It shouldn't.

And you should know the difference and importance of choosing foods to eat organic, but also not worrying about others being non-organic. Few things to consider:

1) Domestic versus non-domestic: Any vegetable or fruit from another country MUST be treated with something (usually a waxy residue to keep it's color, flavor locked in), so in most instances, try to buy local, USA produce. It's that simple. This list would include meat and fish.
