You’ve heard them. Maybe you’ve even used them. Excuses to avoid the one thing you know you should do – exercise. While it is so easy to make or find an excuse to not work out, it can sometimes be not so easy to find reasons to workout. If you’re a busy parent, this challenge can be even harder.

Modern varieties of vegetables, the ones you see for sale in the produce section of the supermarket, are generally sweeter, starchier, and less fibrous than their wild ancestors. They are also far less nutritious: wild dandelion leaves, for example, have eight times more antioxidants than spinach and forty times more than iceberg lettuce.

So doing what you can to maximize the nutrients in the vegetables you eat is important — but it turns out that many common cooking habits are actually making vegetables less nutritious. Did you know you should wait 10 minutes before cooking chopped garlic? Or that broccoli is one of the most perishable vegetables in your crisper? Investigative journalist Jo Robinson spent 10 years combing through the latest research on nutrients in vegetables and fruits for her book, Eating on the Wild Side, and her evidence-based tips for storing and preparing vegetables will change the way you cook.

Whether you want to join Special Forces or train at this level, this nine-month program uses an intelligent progression incorporating injury-proofing, strength, stamina, and toughness training.

 

Day 1

AM
50min EMOM

  • Min 1-10: 2 Heavy CGBP
  • Min 11-20: 3 Tough Strict HSPU (adjust deficit to challenge
  • accodingly)
  • Min 21-30: 10sec Sled Push Tough but Sustainable
  • Min 31-40: 3 Tough Thrusters
  • Min 41-50: 15sec Row Sprint @ 90% effort

 

PM
20min swim @ Z1 pace
+
Accumulate 2min treading water with a 20# brick, easy intervals

 


Who is this program for?

  • Military members preparing for a Special Forces selection phase
  • Anybody who wants to train like a Special Forces Operator

 

How does this program work?

This will be a nine-month program designed to prepare military members for Special Forces selection. The term Special Forces is used broadly and does not necessarily mean U.S. Army Green Beret.

 

This program will not contain the exceptionally large volume of swimming or rucking that might be required for a SEAL or SAS selection phase, although both modalities will be included.

 

The program will be broken down into two phases, each with a different focus:

 

 

Why should I use this program?

Whether you are looking to increase your chances of passing Special Forces selection, or you simply want to train at this level, this program follows an intelligent progression over nine months that incorporates injury-proofing, strength, stamina, toughness training, and event specific modalities such as swimming and rucksack marching. It is written based on my experience as an ex-Special Forces soldier turned coach.

 

What equipment do I need?

Mondays and Thursdays will generally be strength specific days that you can perform at most gyms. Tuesdays and Fridays may require equipment typically found at a CrossFit-type gym. Saturdays will often include things such as boxing, swimming, biking, and running outside.

 

Post your results, comments, and questions to the Breaking Muscle forum.

At some point we all started snapping asparagus, automatically, like programmed kitchen robots. Bend and snap. Bend and snap. I’ll admit, it’s awfully fun, and for asparagus with woody ends, it works well. The problem is, not all asparagus needs such aggressive treatment (and asparagus ain’t cheap).

So let’s take advantage of as much of that grassy and tender spear as possible. Just follow these guidelines to determine if your asparagus needs snapping and how much to spare.

I grew up in what was then a small suburb of Los Angeles. Citrus orchards and onion fields dotted the landscape. Lombardi’s Ranch down the canyon provided fresh pumpkins at Halloween. My dad’s garden provided most of the vegetables we ate every day.

Not everyone has a green-thumbed relative — or a penchant for zucchini en masse — so how does one find great deals on in-season produce?
