eventually they ask the question, “what kind of shoes should I wear in the gym?” My answer is pretty consistent, “anything but running shoes.”
What would your 14 piece fitness equipment circuit look like?
This was a quick decision and I tried to not include big ticket items like a functional trainer. You can accomplish a whole lot with the 14 items I selected! I suppose technically I cheated as I didn’t include collars for the barbell. Realistically I would have included a chin up bar instead of the plyo box…
If you love red wine like I do and are trying to cut back…
Fact#2: drinking a glass of red wine every night is reasonably healthy. Moderation and lots of antioxidants and whatnot.
Fact#3: going out once or twice a week and drinking 2 or 3 glasses of red wine is reasonably healthy. That moderation thing again.
Problem: Implementing Fact#2 and Fact#3 in the same week activates the Cumulative Moderation Effect (CME).
The one truly horrifying image that will make you reconsider wearing heels
There are often articles that pop up in newspapers and blogs, and on the health segments of television news shows that explain the health problems people who wear high heels will likely face. Inevitably they include a stylized x-ray image of a woman’s foot with highlights of the pain and damage points. Probably the people who write, produce, and share those images and articles think it will scare women into wearing more sensible shoes. I wonder if anyone has been convinced by those messages? My guess is very few.
Maybe there’s a better way. What if this was the message:
The downsize of weightloss
But there was a downside to the downsize. I had always been a B cup, and even though I was fine with downsizing all of my other clothes, I was not ready to become an A cup. More accurately, I wasn’t ready to admit that I had become an A cup. So I continued to wear B cup bras that were a bit big.
5 Things you should know if you’re going to cook more often (and you should!)
Do it! This is one of the best things you can do for your health. Eating out is a recipe for over eating, and often eating things you would never eat at home. Cooking is also a great option for the bank account.
Why moderation isn’t working for your weight goals
When it comes to both maintaining one’s body weight or for weight loss, more often than not, moderation is a synonym for failure. And I think there’s a very simple reason why that is the case.
Think back to the past week or two, and ask yourself how many food or beverage items you consume in moderation?
Online Scheduling Software Test-Drives
[Updated April 2020] I’ve been amusing my Facebook friends for the past year or two with my all too frequent posts about the latest problem…
How many minute abs? Really?
My new year’s wish is that media outlets one day are required to substantiate the things they print, like “15-Minute Flat Belly Workout”. Does anyone believe that they will get a flat belly by doing 15 minutes worth of ab exercises? I think it’s shameful. And harmful. Because some people will believe it.
Should I take this supplement?
Never make a decision about whether you should take a supplement based on a flyer. If you already know that you want to take a supplement, and you receive a flyer showing it is on-sale then great, but even then, make sure it is a brand that you trust.
