Lots of people have asked about the best way to track workout progress with the iPhone App. While there are whole apps that specialize in all sorts of tracking/logging, this app focuses more on providing the workout regimen and inspiration for days you cannot or do not want to go to the gym.
That said, we have developed a simple and easy way for you to track all of your bodyweight workouts. Just use the “Send to Friend” button to email your workout to yourself, record the amount of time it took (or number of rounds/reps), and you’ll have a workout log right inside your email (we recommend Gmail).

Attention all overweight people of the planet Earth.
Your days of struggling with obesity & dieting are finally over.
Taco Bell is here to free you from your bonds of corpulence.
Forget about their infamous Fourth Meal or their 990 calorie Volcano Nachos or their 900 calorie Chicken Ranch Taco Salad or their 640 calorie Grilled Stuft Steak Burrito.
Forget about all of that stuff. None of that matters anymore.
Because, Taco Bell has decided to kick Jared’s butt and become America’s Weight Loss Champion.
And they’re going to do it with their new Drive-Thru Diet.

Hmmm…what do you think of that?  54 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. Maybe they’re onto something.
Let’s hear some more about the Drive-Thru Diet

Sounds great, doesn’t it?
But before we make up our minds, maybe we should get the opinion of a medical expert…

Hmmm, now I’m confused.
Maybe, we should hear from an actual Taco Bell customer…

That was interesting.
The morbidly obese Taco Bell […]

“Always start beginners with body weight exercises”
Sounds good in theory…However something just dawned on me…
More precisely, something nearly crushed me.
I was just in my basement doing a workout consisting mostly of weighted pushups.
I had about 100 pounds of chain wrapped around me and I was struggling to get ten good solid reps.
Then it dawned on me – I weight 175 pounds, with the chain I weigh 275 pounds.
So this crushing feeling I have of BARELY making it to ten reps on my third set..this would be what simple BODY WEIGHT push-ups would feel like to a man or women who weighs 275 pounds.
SO WHY WOULD YOU EVER START AN OBESE PERSON ON BODY WEIGHT EXERCISES?
Just doesn’t make sense to me.
A good guideline but NOT a rule
I’m OK with average weight or slightly heavy people starting with body weight work, but use some common sense.
If you are more than 50 or […]

NOTE: Make sure to checkout the forum discussion on this developing series of articles called The Simple Guide to Getting into Shape.
 
In the last article, Introduction to Fitness, we talked a little about the history of fitness, the evolution of fitness, and why fitness is important. Now we’re going to discussing the basics of fitness and how to go about getting into shape. This article is going to focus on the importance of proper planning, knowing your goals, and executing a plan.
The Runner Analogy
A young guy named Jack was interested in training to run a marathon. The problem was that Jack had no idea what it took to train to run a marathon, so he just started doing things that he thought would get him “in shape”.
He did pullups, pushups, situps, and even started weight lifting. All of his friends had commented how much better he looked and […]

You can’t watch the news today without hearing about the “obesity epidemic”.
In fact, recent research has shown that obesity is a bigger health threat than smoking.
But wait, it gets worse.
Now, we learn that our lifestyle has lead to an unprecedented increase in the rates of  Type 1 Diabetes.

According to medical journalist Dan Hurley, “the incidence of type 1 diabetes is now twice as high among children as it was in the 1980s, and 10 to 20 times more common than 100 years ago.”

While rising levels of type 2 diabetes are well known (and typically linked to increasing obesity), the corresponding rise in type 1, or “juvenile,” diabetes has rarely if ever been described in the news media, despite a substantial body of scientific evidence.
While widely accepted by leading diabetes researchers, the increase in type 1 has as yet received scant attention from leading diabetes advocacy organizations.

Scant attention???
I had no idea […]

If you believe the ads, we live in a squalid hotbed of menacing microbes. Evil germs are everywhere and out to get us – especially the innocent, well-dressed children playing nearby. The smart ones among us, the marketers tell us, navigate this ominous world armed with the right sanitizing defense. Even the grimiest restroom, the ad images show, can become as innocuous as a sparkling, surgery-ready space if we only have the security of hand sanitizer. Yes, the power of the imagination…

Sure, the marketing gurus make their buck by coaxing rampant, misplaced fear in the populace. (Funny how we don’t seem as terrified by a “Biggie” order of French fries as we do our own door knobs.) However, let’s put aside the cautionary ads and look at the facts. Sales have risen some 70% since last year. Part of it is the whole H1N1 alarm, but it’s a general trend […]
