Adopting a philosophy of self-experimentation can make a tremendous difference in your life. Choosing to experiment with new ideas can help you start a successful business. Choosing to experiment with sharing your work can launch your career as a writer or an artist. And choosing to experiment with different diets and workouts can help you discover a fitness and health strategy that works for you.Image remixed from Skylines (Shutterstock).This post originally appeared on James Clear’s blog.Of course, self-experimentation is exactly the opposite of how most of us want to approach things. We would prefer that someone hand us a one-page sheet with the answers to our problems and say “Do this and you’ll be good to go.” Furthermore, if someone shares an idea that seems outlandish or weird, most of us would rather dismiss it than experiment for six months to see if it can actually work for us.Just to be clear, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes and have dismissed ideas without trying them in the past.

So what is this whole intermittent fasting thing?Do you remember when I wrote about Bulletproof Coffee not too long ago? I HAD to checkout bulletproof coffee because of the claims, you know; a cup of coffee that will leave you energized for hours, eliminate any crashes, help you burn fat, gain muscle, defy gravity, etc..Well, that is what intermittent fasting is starting to sound like. Strategic meal planning (or skipping) that will help you gain muscle, lose fat and be the healthiest human on the planet…Sounds worthy of investigation for the End of Three Fitness Army!To drink the intermittent fasting kool-aid, or not to drink the intermittent fasting kool-aid, that is the question.But first, what am I talking about…inter-what? fast-who?What is intermittent fastingThe ‘F-word’ is a pretty scary word for most…Fasting.Do you turn into Betty White when you don’t eat (watch here if that doesn’t make sense)?

By Colin GriffinIn Part One of our blog on this topic, we reviewed the science behind resistance training with a hypoxic (low oxygen) stimulus – one that simulates altitude through a hypoxic chamber or mask system. While there had been some initial focus on blood flow restriction by occlusion, recent studies have presented a strong case for the potential benefits of doing resistance training in a full hypoxic environment. The aim of this follow-up blog is to outline a more practical-based approach to implementing a hypoxic resistance training program with the needs of athletes, players and coaches in mind.

The American dream is all about making a fortune on your terms, not working for The Man on his. If you’ve got big ideas and feel stifled by your current career path, it’s natural to begin pondering what it would be like to kick down the walls of your cubicle and start fresh with a company you believe in and trust: your own. However, the worst mistake would be to act purely on passion without reasoning how you’ll make your dream come true, logically and deliberately, only to end up back where you started. As two entrepreneurs who’ve had some success in going our own way (and plenty of failure we’ve learned from as well), we can show you how to bring this fantasy to fruition.10 Ways to Kick Ass at Work>>> FOLLOW YOUR HEART According to researchers at the University of Tennessee, about 50% of all businesses fail, with 25% closing their doors by the end of Year One. Often, the reason boils down to greed and impatience: People want to get rich quick and can’t handle losses, so they pack it in before they’ve given their venture a chance to succeed.

Diagnosed With MS – Now Stronger And Healthier Than Ever! 5 Comments Monday, November 4th, 2013 Testimonial written by Becky Chadwell:I can’t begin to say enough thanks to the paleo world out there. In November of 2012, after a heavy workout, my pinky and ring finger on each hand started tingling. I thought to myself, “Great, turn 32 and I’m falling apart from lifting 60 pounds.” I was really careful and tried to stretch but after about a week of this the numbness and tingling invaded both of my hands entirely.Being a nurse I thought through all sorts of terrible possibilities and settled on calling a chiropractor because I must have pulled or compressed something in my back.  It was about 2 weeks after all of this that I woke up one day and the tingling was running through both of my big toes

Hi Everyone!My workout today was separated into two parts: 10 Minute HIIT Belly Fat Burn, and a bonus round with the dip station. Both videos are below. I repeated the HIIT workout twice, and only went through the dip stand routine once (although I am going to repeat the dip stand routine one more time tonight before my shower). I hope you enjoy the workout. Jesse went through it with me on the second round, and we both found it challenging
