Popular: Why the Gym SUCKS!

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

Because this article was so popular, I thought it deserved another posting for the Spring season.

After thinking about it, I came up with Six Reasons the Gym SUCKS:

1.) Everyone else is going to the gym. And they suck.
Did you ever notice that when you look around the gym, everybody is doing the same thing? Like so many sheep, mindlessly plodding away with the misinformation from fitness magazines. People just go to the gym and do whatever everybody else is doing.

Have you ever noticed that when you walk into the gym and you see the same women on the same treadmills, doing the same 4 mile run, that they STILL look the same as they did 5 months ago.

Spring into Healthy Foods

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Eating right is more than half the battle to get into a new you. Again, remember that nutrition is 80% of obtaining the results you want. Exercising and coming to boot camp is only part of the battle. Eating right and staying hydrated will help get you to the results you want quicker. It is a lot easier to find those fresh veggies in the spring and summer months. Just look at your local farmer markets or stands on the side of the road. Of course always inspect your food before your purchase. Eating healthier will give you more energy and we all know we could use some more of that. Spring is also a great time to find those organic foods. Stay away from processed foods! Not only does fresh food taste better, it also has more nutrients for your body. Here are some healthy eating tips for the Spring:

Spring Fever Workouts Outside

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Although we’ve moved our clocks ahead an hour and daylight stays with us a little longer, you still may find yourself doing the same old dark workouts inside the gym. So why not spring forward — right out the door. Taking your workout outside this spring can recharge your batteries and give you a renewed enthusiasm for exercise.

But first, keep some pointers in mind. When transitioning your indoor workout outside, take things a little slowly at first. Aside from bumps in the road and slippery surfaces to watch out for, you don’t want to overdo it the first time you head for the hills or rough terrain. On the elliptical or treadmill machines in the gym you can manipulate the incline and resistance, but outdoors you are at the mercy of Mother Nature, so you may have to adjust your speed or intensity accordingly. Of course, when heading outside also be sure to bring lots of water and wear sun block and dress in moisture-wicking layers of clothing that you can peel off as you warm up.

And if you’re looking for an entirely new outdoor workout to kick off spring, here’s one of my favorites:
