By now you know I have a biased point of view that rigorous endurance training is antithetical to health. Yes, I competed and loved it for 20 years, so I get the appeal it has for so many, but these days my personal focus is on maintaining the highest level of fitness and health on the least amount of work and sacrifice. I want to play and have fun. Still, I get asked a lot by endurance athletes whether there’s any chance they can continue to compete at a high level while eating and training Primally. I used to think it probably wasn’t feasible if you wanted to be world class, assuming as I did (erroneously) that you just couldn’t overcome the need for copious amounts of carbs on a daily basis without crashing and burning. However, recent research into the concept of “train low-race high” (vis a vis glycogen) […]

8 Signs You Are Overtraining

When you spend some time among the ever-growing circle of evolutionary-based health writers, thinkers, bloggers, and doctors, you notice a curious thing happening. Conventional Wisdom is becoming turned on its head. Saturated fat is generally healthy and excessive endurance training is generally unhealthy become the presiding narratives. Grains are either unnecessary or have the tendency to attack the gut lining, even guts with “clinically undetectable levels of sensitivity.” You don’t need six square meals a day to keep your metabolism up and running, after all; one or two a day will do just fine.
Less is more – as far as exercise goes – is becoming another accepted truth, especially when you understand that 80% of your body composition is determined by how you eat.

If you dial the diet in (Primal Blueprint, of course), you just don’t need to “burn off” tons of excess calories with a lot of hard work. […]

Lunch Ideas for Paleo Newbies

The Anti-Paleo Lunch – Deep-Fried Pizza – Original Image: http://fxcuisine.com

.

When it comes to eating “Paleo”, lunch is probably the most difficult meal of the day.

You’re away from home
Work commitments often force us to wolf down our food as quickly as possible, and…
Heaven forbid you forget to bring a lunch from home. Trying to find a Paleo-friendly restaurant is next to impossible.

So, as a public service…and to help you avoid another slice of deep-fried pizza, I contacted a few of my favorite Paleo Foodies and pestered them for some tips on how to eat Paleo at lunch.
.

Naomi from My Paleo Kitchen reminds us that there isn’t a one size fits all paleo lunch.
It depends on how much time you have to prepare (or how much time you’re willing to spend).
On how much space you’ve got and on what you had for dinner the night before or breakfast that morning. And on […]

Are you PAYING to be FAT?

Here’s a fun trick for you…
I want you to lift your shirt up…just a bit…and yes, I’m being serious.
Make sure no one is looking and just take a quick look at your stomach.
What’s staring back at you?
Maybe 6 pack abs…..but probably not (just guessing)
Your probably thinking:
‘Fat. Brad right now I’m staring at extra fat, at least a little more fat than I WANT to be seeing’

Let’s face it, the MAJORITY of us have at least a little more fat siting around our midsections than we would like, but I want to point something else out to you..
You are also looking at your DEBT.
Yep, that’s right – You PAID HARD EARNED MONEY for every single one of those calories sitting in the form of fat on your stomach!
Each roll, each dimple and every single ‘pucker’ the fat you don’t want, you paid for.
AND, even more devastating is that you pay HARD […]

I enjoy brief workouts, especially during the summer when I am active. I think this emerging trend of quick workouts is great, but how brief can you go before you aren't exercising enough? Can a few 30 minute workouts per week really give you the same results as 4-5 one-hour workouts per week? In my opinion, there is a time element involved to getting in peak condition. Even if you train hard, you can't expect to reach a high-level of conditioning just putting in a few 30 minute sessions per week. Perhaps the reason you haven't been able to lose those last 5 pounds or don't have defined abs is simply that you aren't devoting enough time to exercise.

[One thing in limited supply for all of us is time. This picture is a reminder of that. Life is too short to live in a gym, but recent studies suggest that […]

How can I lose weight fast?
sigh….you would not believe how often I hear this question.
Sure, it may have taken 10 years to put on all of that extra body-fat, but everyone wants to melt it off in a couple of months.
And that’s why people watch The Biggest Loser (it’s NBC’s highest rated show).
And that’s why people buy Fat Burners.
Because they promise results….very fast, very effective results
But what happens when ordinary folk don’t get the advertised results?
They get mad…and when people get mad in 2010….they sue.
According to the NY Daily Times, “Biggest Loser” celeb trainer Jillian Michaels is being sued over one of her weight-loss supplements.
Kathy Hensley charges that the supplements are made with a “potentially lethal” ingredient, citrus aurantium, which can in rare cases cause heart problems and high blood pressure, according to Us Weekly.

Hensley, who’s suing for less than $5,000, also names the supplements’ maker Thin Care, Basic Research […]

By now we all know the benefits of fish oil and its omega-3s: lower risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer, less systemic inflammation, lower risk for depression, better skin, and so on. Although fish and fish oil supplements are the best sources for these omega-3 benefits, there are nonetheless scenarios that rule out these sources.
Dear Mark:
I’m sold on the benefits of a Fish Oil Supplement and I’m interested to start taking one. However, I have had serious allergic reactions to Shell Fish in the past, and an allergist has shown me to be reactive to most fish in general. As such I have avoided anything and everything that swims for a very long time. Maybe it’s possible my allergies were due to inflammation caused by my CW diet, but I’m still wary to test my theory now that I’m eating Primal. I feel like I’m missing out on […]

The basis of Tabata Training is 4 minutes of intense interval training/circuit 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. They did a study on […]
