The more you eat, the less flavor; the less you eat, the more flavour. ~ Chinese proverb Click to tweetI never thought I would try something such as Intermittent Fasting IF.I first heard about it from my brother-in-law, then a client mentioned it to me, and then I read Kate Langbroek’s article in the paper.So, after some research, I decided to give IF a try to see whether it would increase energy levels and mental clarity, as others had claimed. I also wanted to see how it would affect my relationship with food, including understanding my hunger cues. It was an experiment.Before I dive into what I discovered, let me first share the IF method I used.

No problem!Tabata training was founded in 1996 by Japanese professor Izumi Tabata. He conducted tests on two groups of athletes comparing 60 minute of moderate intensity with 4 minutes of high intensity interval training.The results showed the athletes training in high intensity interval training improving their aerobic as well as their anaerobic system.

If you are starting off with ZERO times per week, some say to start with ONE time per week, which is great. However, if you decide to only resistance train ONCE and you go ALL OUT, then you are probably going to be sore for 5 days.My suggestion is you lift 4 days a week, even starting out, BUT only do a few minutes. Do 4, 10-minute metabolic resistance workouts, like THESE for the first couple of weeks, THEN increase your weight and workout time.Click HERE to receive one FREE metabolic resistance training workout video every week.2.)    Circuit and Interval Programs for EfficiencyI don’t know about you, but I value my time dearly. I don’t like to waste my precious time doing tasks that don’t provide much value to my life, especially if it’s working out.

“Fat” is Not a Feeling 14 Comments Thursday, January 23rd, 2014 “I feel FAT.”  Three words.  Three words that carry a lot of ‘weight’. ‘Heavy’ words that you hear, say, or think every day, or every 15 minutes in some cases. You may go to bed at night feeling totally awesome and wake up the next day feeling FAT.

Does Your Bad Reputation Precede You? How to Build a Good …

No one wants to be “that guy,” but for some reason, you’ve built a reputation that’s wreaking havoc on your ability to make friends, move up in the office, and otherwise get what you want in life. Here are three telltale signs that can help you recognize when you’re on the outside so you can start working your way back in.1. Awkward SilenceIn every group discussion, there are those who are talkers and those who take a backseat in the conversation. This is human nature and it’s good to know or embrace your role. What’s not good is when someone who is typically gregarious suddenly isn’t speaking up when you’re around.

High Intensity Tabata Training – Skinny Gene

January 22, 2014
Leave a comment

Tabata Training is a High Intensity Interval Training Workout that lasts four minutes and consists of several different exercises, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off (rest periods after each exercise.) There are many forms of full workouts, exercises to incorporate, and each workout can be designed to give you a different result, depending on what goals you are working towards. Tabata Training is great for calorie burning, muscle endurance, agility & speed progress, and lean muscle development. Technically, you should stick with the four minute workout in these specific 20 second on, 10 second off “zones,” however, if you are a first-time “Tabata-er,” or a deconditioned individual, you may choose to change this based on your current fitness level.Tabata training was born after Japanese scientist Izumi Tabata and his colleagues compared the results of moderate intensity training and HIIT. The study evaluated two groups of speed-skating athletes. The first group trained on ergonomic cycles at moderate intensity for one hour, five days per week, for a total of six weeks.

Fasting. Not sure how that word originated as there is nothing fast about a fast. Or, I would imagine so, as I have never participated in one. Yes, I would think fasting would go by S L O W L Y. Yes, ever so slowly.Imaginative hunger pangs, languid pace, energy dips and all, I am intrigued.

The Rebirth of Suspension Training | Performance Course

Via NSCA.com & Author Mark D. StephensonNow a new method of training called suspension training can be used for those facing a lack of proper training facilities. Suspension training was re-introduced as a method of training by former navy SEAL Randy Hetrick who was responsible for the physical fitness of his team members. Deployed soldiers do not necessarily have weight training facilities and often have to resort to implement training for resistance. Looking for ways to maintain his and his team’s operational readiness, Randy utilized parachute cords and materials thathe looped over elevated beams to increase resistance for rows and presses using only body weight and gravity, thus suspension training was born.
