Warrior Fit Boot Camp Fitness Fun!

Back in the 70s, Colonel Steve Austin was the Six Million Dollar Man…a NASA astronaut nearly killed during a test flight.
But, luckily for him, NASA had the technology to rebuild him…better than he was before..better..stronger..faster

And luckily for all of us, we are pretty close to having the technology to help make us leaner..stronger..fitter…and healthier.
Thanks to researchers at St. Louis University, we may soon have access to smartphone applications that will help us transform our bodies from fat to fit.
And I am not talking about first generation apps that tell you the number of calories in a Big Mac or produce a generic computer generated workout.

CADA interface

I am talking about software that is being used currently on a group of elderly Chinese diabetic patients (not necessarily the most tech-savvy group on the planet).
This new technology uses interactive smartphone games and various logging features to help the elderly diabetics manage their health […]

Occasionally, I still design training programs for Strongman and Powerlifting competitors.
And the hardest thing about designing those programs is that these guys never, ever want to do anything except train for strength.
No rehab/prehab work, no HIIT, no flexibility/joint mobility work and certainly no cardio.
They are all too afraid that if they do any of that stuff, they will lose strength.
Arggghhhh!!!
No matter what I say, they don’t want to listen.
So, when I read the excerpt to this study, I actually laughed out loud….and then sent out a bunch of emails beginning with “I told you so”.
The Study
Researchers compared a traditional resistance training program designed to increase strength with a CrossTraining style of program that combined strength & endurance training.
The study lasted 16 weeks and was tested on 38 sedentary, apparently healthy males (25 yr +/- 8 mo).
Subjects were age matched and assigned to 1 of 3 groups.

A control group (Con)
A resistance […]

Made a few short comments in response to a blog post I just saw on The Fitness Spotlight. The post is here and below are my responses to some of the claims made.
—
Just a few short comments on some claims here. Sorry if this has been covered somewhere among the comments, I haven’t read through them all.
“Liver glycogen levels are depleted within 8-10 hours. Muscle glycogen falls by 50% over 24-hours, even without exercise. “
False on both accounts. Liver glycogen is completely depleted in approx 28 hrs (Cahill et al). And the second statement is also incorrect. In humans, muscle glycogen is barely affected at all after 24 hrs, assuming no strenous activity.
“After depleting glycogen, amino acids are recycled to be broken down for glycogen through gluconeogenesis. “
This is an ongoing process, but liver glycogen does not need to be depleted in order for amino acids to contribute to the […]

Today I would like to post an exclusive guest post by Anna Dornier from Path to Fat Loss. Anna was recently certified as a Russian Kettlebell Instructor by Pavel Tsatsouline himself. This is like the Navy Seals of personal training, in my opinion. Not easy at all! This certainly peaked my interest. Kettlebell workouts are tough, but getting certified at Pavel's school is a whole different deal. In this guest post, Anna is going to address whether a woman should train like a man. So many people have various opinions on this, that I predict some serious discussions in the comment section. Bring it on!

[I think most women want to be fit while still looking feminine. The argument is on what type of training to achieve that look.]
Should Women Do the Same Type of Workouts as Men?

Let me start out by defining how men typically […]

Just when you feel you’ve made the successful transition to Primal eating in everyday life, you stumble upon a scenario that sends you back to the drawing board. For some people, it’s the holidays. For others, it’s travel. For reader Brian, it’s regular camping trips into the real “primal environment”:
Dear Mark,
Each summer and throughout the year, I spend weeks at a time leading hiking, backpacking and camping trips in the backcountry. While this seems like it’s definitely a primal activity, traditional backpacking fare consists of oatmeal, tortillas, granola, peanut butter, pasta, rice, and beans. These foods are light, compact, durable, will fill you up, do not need to be refrigerated, and are easily packable. At the end of each week, though, I always feel worn out – depleted, almost – and I realize now that it is probably because of what I eat. Do you have any primal menu […]
