Dear Mark: Low on Willpower

Dear Mark,
I’ve been following the blog for a couple of months now and have been trying to get into a regular exercise routine like you describe. Unfortunately, I get some fitness momentum going and then lose my willpower once I hit stressful or busy times. I feel like it’s a game of two steps forward, one step back (at least). What do you say to someone who’s trying to hit a fitness stride but keeps backsliding? Do you have advice on how to boost willpower? Thanks!
Your question is a timely one. Much was made over a recent study (PDF) that demonstrated willpower as a limited resource. The crux was this: we have a finite amount of willpower in a day (so to speak), and when it’s used up, that’s it. In a given day we might defend against donut cravings at the office all morning, force ourselves to keep […]

Frank Lampard and Thierry Henry are the celebrity faces of a new anti-obesity ad campaign being launched by Pepsi.
Anti-obesity & Pepsi?
That’s an odd combination

I always thought that soda helped to cause obesity.
But, if Pepsi wants to help me lose weight and get fit, then they must be one of the good guys…and therefore, I must drink more Pepsi
MUST DRINK PEPSI….MUST DRINK PEPSI….MUST DRINK PEPSI….
Nooooooo!!!!!!!
Help….I’ve think I have just been fatwashed by Pepsi

Modern Gladiators are brought by King Of The Ring

The ‘fight bug’ is definitely not getting out of the gym – at least not with guys like Billy Frezza and Omar Santiago. They’ve both just signed up for a fight at the King of the Ring’s Modern Gladiator, in Virginia Beach, this October 17th.

Billy Frezza, KnuckleUp fighter

Omar, after his MMA debut at the AFL VI, is back, fighting at 145lbs.
Billy just had his first fight at AFL VII, is hungry for another one, and will be fighting at 135lbs. His opponent is Chris Huntington (1-1-0).

Omar Santiago, KnuckleUp fighter

The King Of The Ring started when William Varner promoted the very first King of the Ring on February 16, 2001, in a ballroom at the Surfside Oceanfront Inn in Virginia Beach.
From their website:
The event was a huge success among local fighters and MMA fighting fans. With some fighters coming from as far away […]

taido martial art

Taido was created by Seiken Shukumine. He began this Japanese martial art form in 1964. The meaning of Taido karate is “way of the body,” and it is based on a traditional Okinawan karate form called Te.
This was not the only time that Shukumine had developed a unique martial arts style. When he was only 25, he created a new kind of karate he called Genseirvu.
Karate and other fighting styles have been increasing in popularity in the West for a number of years. In those years, prior to the founding of Taido, most practice was simplistic and the common techniques for this “empty handed” style of fighting saw little change. yet, society was changing and Shukumine was a student of philosophy and tried to anticipate what would have to be changed as far as how classical martial arts methods of instruction were concerned.
Shukumine realized that there […]

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. […]

Carne Asada

Carne asada, which translates as “roast meat,” is a festive and flavorful dish of thinly sliced marinated beef. The key to making amazing carne asada is a marinade that strikes the right balance of spicy, sweet and savory flavors.
Any cook who loves carne asada is likely to have their own secret blend of herbs, spices and marinating liquid and we’re thrilled Darlene has shared hers for the Primal Blueprint Cookbook Contest. (Enter your own Primal recipes for a chance to win a Primal prize package and to be included in the reader-created Primal Blueprint Cookbook. View all the details and the current theme here.)

When the ingredients for this marinade are all chopped and mixed together, take a long, deep whiff. The aroma of the marinade hints at the flavor to come. Warm spices, refreshing lime, the sweet scent of oranges and the malty aroma of beer will have you salivating […]

Tomatoes taste best in the peak of summer. Did you know in-season tomatoes pack nearly twice as much vitamin C as off-season varieties? I know it’s technically Autumn/Fall but the weather over here is still summer-ish so we have plenty of fresh tomatoes still around. This soup makes great use of these end-of-season tomatoes and is a perfect easy lunch idea.

I am going to dissect a recent Time magazine article called, "Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin". I do agree with parts of this article, but think a lot of this is bogus. The author simply isn't taking a strategic approach to exercise and seems to be complaining for his lack of results. That being said, I do agree with a few of his points. Let's dig in!

[While staying lean and losing body fat is largely about diet, you can magnify the effects of a good diet with the right types of exercise. Note: The photo above is a good example of eating smaller portions of your favorite foods.]
