Warrior Fit Boot Camp Fitness Fun!

I'm sure you have all heard of the term skinny fat. This when someone is chubby but doesn't take up much space. A person who is close to their target weight, but is soft all over. To be honest, this is a super easy thing to fix, but a lot of people go about it the wrong way. Someone who is skinny fat is just 3 months away from transforming their body, they just need to attack this problem the right way.

[This isn't an example of skinny fat people. I just wanted to include a Halloween themed picture, since this holiday is approaching for a lot of us. I think it looks psychotic when people wear animal heads without the rest of the costume.]

All across the globe, personal trainers push their clients up onto BOSU balls with claims that it increases core muscle activity.
And while I personally think that the only reason trainers’ use the BOSU is to make their clients look silly…

…I always wondered what would happen if the BOSU got dragged into a university lab and put through it’s paces.
Well, back in March of this year, researchers from Eastern Illinois University did just that.
The Study
PURPOSE: To compare core muscle activity during resistance exercises performed on stable ground vs. the BOSU Balance Trainer.
METHODS: Twelve trained men performed the back squat, dead lift, overhead press, and bicep curl lifts. Each lift was performed under three separate conditions:

50% of 1 RM (rep max or max possible lift) while standing on solid ground,
50% of 1 RM while standing on a BOSU and
75% of 1RM while standing on solid ground.

For each lift, the activity of […]

I spend a lot of my time reviewing research. Enough time that I can tell you that there are definitely GREAT research papers, and then there are HORRIBLE ones that make you scratch your head trying to figure out how they ever were published in the first place.
Truthfully there are many more papers that seem to fall in the horrible category the truth is, even the worst paper ever published still has some value.
There is no such thing as research with absolutely no value.
While these seems like a typical ‘Pilon ramble’ let me assure you…we’re talking about bodybuilding.
You see for some reason, over the last decade we decided that bodybuilding is dumb, useless, and a complete waste of time.
We junked bodybuilding and replaced it with functional training, sports specific training and the like.
We threw out bodybuilding before we completely understood it.
And just like research papers, there is no such thing […]

Despite our recent spate of posts extolling the many and varied benefits of heavy resistance training, I’ve actually been moving away from the weight room for a couple reasons. Foremost is my desire to stay active and as injury-free as possible. While I still wholeheartedly endorse and believe in lifting hard and lifting heavy, at my age I’m starting to realize that the potential for injury – at least for me, personally – is too great to risk spending three days lifting heavy things on a weekly basis. At this point in my life, my motivation is simply different. I’m not really interested in pushing myself to the limit, let alone past the limit (realistically, those days are behind me); I’m instead focusing on maintaining my current performance. It’s almost a Buddhist thing where I’m content with my strength and my body (and have been for a long time now), […]

Yesterday, I opened up a can of whoop-ass on the Health/Fitness/Obesity industry.
I argued that it was wrong of the “experts” to abandon their clients and deflect all of the blame for their fitness failures on a simple lack of willpower.
And based upon your comments, you agree…sort of.
You agreed that the health/fitness industry is pretty slimy and that a lot of the “experts” play off our insecurities and our desire for a quick & easy fix.

But, you weren’t so quick to let the consumer off the hook. Like a bunch of libertarians, you were willing to accept responsibility for your own health & fitness.
And I applaud you for that.
If only there was a way for the rest of the world to learn from your example…
If only Erin and Julie and Matt and Diane and Arielle had a forum to share their experiences about health & fitness.
.
Oh wait, they do…it’s called […]
