A little over 7 weeks has gone by since my dreadful DXA scan.
If you remember, it was the scan that ended my brilliantly thought-out  7 week experiment of “what would happened if I stopped training and stopped fasting?”.
Nothing good happened in that experiment – I lost 7 pounds of muscle and gained 5 pounds of fat.
But now, I’m back in form.
And I’m going to take this opportunity to really explore the importance of knowing your body. Specifically, I want to talk about the importance of knowing your measurements.
Most people know their weight… some even guess at their body fat, but it’s still the minority of people who actually track their measurements…. which isn’t a good thing.
Case in point – It’s been about 7 weeks of fasting and training, and my weight hasn’t changed…at all.  It has fluctuated between 174-176 for the last 7 weeks. Which would drive me absolutely crazy, […]

Fight or Flight 1 Comment Thursday, September 12th, 2013 Guest post by: Tyler MintonI woke up on the cold bathroom floor. I knew I hadn’t fallen asleep, but couldn’t remember exactly at what point I had pulled myself out of the tub filled with hot water and epsom salt. After taking a minute to climb to my feet, I find my way to the scale. My eyes are shaky so I lean closely to see a dreadful number; 175. Still five pounds away from my goal

No, I’m not having a momentary spelling blip, that is definitely Hiit with two ‘I’s. Hiit actually stands for High Intensity Interval Training, and if you’ve seen Kick Ass you’ll certainly be feeling as hard-core as Chloe Moretz’s character of the same name after 30 minutes of this!The studio, exclusively for women, is a vision in pink. Pink walls, pink exercise balls, pink mats – it’s a girly girl’s dream. But it doesn’t exactly scream intensity.

2 Flares2 Flares × Exercising from home is really no different than working out at a gym or boot camp, the BIG difference is usually the one you make big. Some women like working out in the privacy and comfort of their own homes, others are embarrassed when starting a program, and yet others are grossed out by sweat, germs, and others using the same equipment in general. I own a women’s fitness boot camp and I am a big believer in community, whether offline or online, I think it’s great to join in SOME type of group that encourages and supports each other.

Resistance TrainingThe best approach however is to combine both cardio exercise with strength training so you get the best of both worlds. This is referred to as metabolic resistance training, because it builds muscle and stamina to increase your metabolic rate.Guidelines from the National Strength and Conditioning Association suggest that there should be at least one rest day but not more than three between working each muscle group. At a minimum, a resistance training session that works the entire body could be completed Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Saturday.Strength training works best if you work with a professional personal trainer. He will be able to put together a plan based on your body type, current fitness level and goals. Resistance training is one of the most important exercise routines you can do for your self.

Working out benefits all muscles, including your heart: Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise reports that both high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—short bursts of all-out effort, like battling-rope slams (shown), alternated with periods of lighter work or rest—and weight training improve insulin sensitivity while also reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. If you’re already lifting, throw some HIIT into your workouts; you might just enjoy it!
