I just about got my butt kicked at the gym this weekend…by a 50-something, morbidly obese woman with a fetish for unproductive cardio workouts.
Here’s what happened.
After finishing my workout, I was chatting with some other gym members about the best ways to lose weight, get fit, etc.
During the conversation, I made the unfortunate decision to proclaim that losing weight is simple, but not easy.
Bad move on my part. Little did I know that our conversation was being overheard by the aforementioned 50-something morbidly obese cardio junkie.
And after hearing my comment, she decided to join the conversation. Unfortunately, she pretty much went nuclear.
I couldn’t make out much of what she was saying due to all of the screaming and profanity, but I think the gist of it was that:

I didn’t know what I was talking about
She had “fat” genetics and her obesity wasn’t her fault
I was prejudiced against overweight people
and then […]

In a perfect world, we’d all sit down every morning to a leisurely, healthy breakfast. In the real world, however, we’ve all done our share of eating breakfast in our cars, on the bus or at our work desk. Sometimes, where you eat the breakfast you grabbed on your way out the door can’t be helped. What can be helped, however, is what you eat.
A grab-and-go breakfast is exactly what Amy Schoenherr had in mind when she submitted her recipe for Omelet Muffins to the Primal Cookbook Challenge. This easy and clever variation of a regular old omelet can be made in batches of a half-dozen or more and eaten throughout the week. Amy’s muffins, made almost entirely from eggs, are little powerhouses of protein, fat, nutrients and flavor. Mixing in a little water and mayonnaise keeps the eggs fluffy and moist while they bake. Other than that, what you […]

Now I know it’s coming up to turkey season with Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner (where’d the year go?) but I get asked a lot of how to spice up boring old chicken.
Previously I made a pecan crusted turkey dish and had some great feedback from that so I decided to do something with it’s step-cousin, chicken. I know you can’t beat a perfectly roasted chicken but here’s a great alternative if you fancy some nuts ‘n’ spice (as the actress said to the bishop).
I love almonds and I snack on them quite a bit so I figured why not try them as a breading. I added some gluten-free breadcrumbs and toasted cumin seeds to the mixture and it turned out quite tasty.
I served the chicken with grilled veg which I tossed with fresh tomatoes then quickly sauteed with freshly chopped oregano, thyme and olive oil–the business!

The New Jiu Jitsu Program Introduces Students To The "Smooth Art"

Along with the winter schedule came a highly anticipated Jiu Jitsu program, and 2 weeks into the course, it’s already creating newfound fans in the gym. BJJ classes have been getting more and more students that seem to enjoy both the mental and physical challenges created by this intelligent art.

Master Chris Stolzman applying a choke during class

The new program has been on the plans since August, but it wasn’t until master Chris Stolzman arrived that it really took off. Stolzman is an renowned brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, having well over 9 years of experience in BJJ. He is getting ready to implement the official USA Jiu Jitsu curriculum this coming week, after testing each student’s experience level.
Before, students would receive a challenging mix of Wrestling, Judo, and Jiu Jitsu instruction in a manner more consistent with MMA – […]

In the tradition of my Nutrition Deathmatches #1 and #2, today’s post compares and contrasts two different pieces of fitness equipment.
First up, the Wellness Belt

To be completely honest, I had never heard of the Wellness Belt until this morning when I heard a commercial for this product while listening to a radio station marketed towards Zoomers.
I could not believe what I was hearing.
According to the commercial, the Wellness Belt is the health breakthrough that every soon to be senior citizen has been waiting for.
Simply by wearing the ultra-fashionable Wellness Belt throughout your day to day activities, you will experience:

Effortless Weight Loss
The Elimination of Back Pain
A Reversal of Osteoporosis
Improved cardio-vascular fitness, a reduction in cholesterol, high blood pressure and a lowered risk of heart attack
Improved posture, reduced back pain, less intense headaches and migraines, increased neck range of motion and elimination of menstrual cramping. People with scoliosis have reported reduced tightness […]
