This morning, someone emailed me this question:
I’ve Got a question: I’m supposed to do as many rounds as possible of 20 squats and 5 pushups. Do I rest between exercises? Do I rest after doing a set of each? Do I not rest at all? If I do rest how long is a rest for? Sorry for all of the questions but I want to do this right.

Great question. Here is the answer:
Rest as long as you need to between sets, however, keep rest to a minimum. When I do this workout (called AMRAP, as-many-rounds-as-possible in X minutes), I usually do not rest because that would mean accomplishing fewer sets and a lower score.
You may want to benchmark yourself for the first 5 minutes. Eg, suppose you complete 6 sets in the first 5 minutes and the total workout is 10 minutes. Try to […]

Low carbohydrate diets have received a lot of press the past few years. For someone who grew up under the "fat is bad" mindset, this took me a while to grasp. Although I look and feel much better when I eat fewer carbs, I know that this isn't the case for every single person. I'm the first to say that a one-size-fits-all mentality doesn't work when it comes to dieting. I will make a case for eating a less carbs than are in the standard western diet, but you can do so while avoiding extremes.

[For many years, fat used to be considered the devil. These days many people consider carbs to be harmful. Although I tend to lean towards the Paleo and Primal way of eating, I don't think carbs are evil. The key is to find your "sweet spot" and adjusting up or down depending upon your goals.]

Last week, President Obama nominated Dr. Regina Benjamin for the position of Surgeon General. (video of the nomination)
Not exactly a sexy news story.
Until this happened…

Whoops
Fox News must be really embarrassed by this.
I bet someone got fired for allowing this douchebag on the air.
I bet Cavuto totally freaked out off camera (ala Bill O’Reilly?).
Because, you know, Fox News is known around the world for being Fair and Balanced
It’s not as if knew that this Karolchyk guy has a bit of an issue with obesity.
It’s not as if they planned this good cop/ bad cop routine in advance.
I mean, how could they have known?
It’s not like Cavuto and this meathead have done this routine before.
It’s not as if someone from Fox would ever have vetted this guy and found these commercials he created to advertise his gym:

Classy
Just like these guys.

I’ve thought of about a million different ways to explain this…and the best I’ve come up with is a fictional story…
So here it goes.
Why Eat Stop Eat works well for women.
Janet first met Kevin when they were in College.
Kevin was 6′2″ and 205 pounds. While he wasn’t an ‘athlete’ he worked out regularly and maintained a fairly muscular build for his height.
Janet was 5′6″ and 135 pounds. In her youth she was involved in just about every sport imaginable. From field hockey and soccer to swimming and dance, Janet was active, as a result she had the typical ‘fit’ and athletic body that other women her age hated her for having!
Janet didn’t really have a weight issue during college. Sure, her weight increased and hovered around 140 pounds by her senior year, but for the most part she had it under control.
That is until she and Kevin got married and […]

The basis of Tabata Training is 4 minutes of intense interval training. What you are doing is taking an exercise we’ll use sprints as an example here. Sprint as hard as you can for 20 seconds Walk for 10 seconds Repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 sets. So what you have is a total of 4 minutes workout time. Tabata Training can be done with a number of different exercises the idea is to use an exercise that gets the whole body involved or at least the major muscle groups.Tabata Training can be done with Barbells, Dumbells, Kettlebells or just Bodyweight exercises. I’ll give you some other exercises and routines to try in a minute but first let me give you some background and how Tabatas work. Tabata Training was developed by Izumi Tabata (imagine that) at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo, Japan. […]

I know, it’s summer.
The weather is warm, the steaks are sizzling on the bbq, the beer is flowing and the last thing you want to think about is sticking to your diet.

If this sounds like you, read on…

According to a new study, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and obesity are on the rise in Canadians of all ages. (same goes for you non-Canadians)
It’s so bad that for the first time in 2 centuries, Canadians can expect to die earlier than their parents.
And why, you may ask are Canadians dropping like flys on a bug zapper?
Because they are fat.

The authors of the study found that hypertension and diabetes are increasing most in those who were obese or overweight.
“Projections suggest that the rising prevalence of obesity in the current generation of adolescents will increase the prevalence of coronary heart disease by 5 to 16% in 2035, and may for the first time in […]

KnuckleUp was the main sponsor for Fight To The Finish VI

At 6:30pm, there were 100+ people in line trying to get in; the entire east section of the Outer Banks Mall parking lot was taken, forcing people to use the Outer Banks Hospital’s parking lot; 5 police cars and 1 ambulance completed the highly unusual scenario.
If it seems like I’m describing Michael Jackson’s funeral is because like me, you’ve never seem anything of such proportions in the Outer Banks. The AFL MMA Fight To The Finish VI was off to a great start.
The conservative 500 people limit imposed by the Nags Head Fire Marshal was reached 20 minutes after the doors were open, sending well over 150 people away, and it made a lot of people regret not buying a ticket earlier.
Inside, it was clear that the AFL had a really rough spot to work with: SeaMark left the building […]

What if half of what you have been told about building muscle mass is completely wrong? You see, building muscle is almost 100% about training and has very little to do with nutrition. The main thing that nutrition affects is gaining or losing body fat. The mainstream fitness publications would have you believe that you can eat your way to quick muscle gains. This simply is not the case. John Barban has created an exclusive video for the readers of this site, that you guys have to see!

[I like to look at ancient Greek and Roman statues as ideal proportions to shoot for. Although centuries have gone by, the proportions of these statues are still considered optimum by most of the population.]
