Ease Travel Aches with Yoga Stretching

Ease Travel Aches with Yoga Stretching


Travel, whether it be for business or pleasure takes a huge toll on the body, spirit and mind of each of us. Delays, long lines, heightened security measures, noise take their toll and cause tension, tightness in muscles, shortness of breath and reduce the quality of your sleep and restfulness. A recent New York Times article quotes, Michele Olson, an exercise physiologist at Auburn University-Montgomery in Alabama, who states, "Research has shown that those who practice yoga and Pilates have improved sleep quality."

Creativity

Creativity

For the delight and creativity of it all...nothing more.  We loved the treadmill.  This one is much better.  It has absolutely nothing to do with fitness, health or training.  But provides utter, pure and complete joy and delight to watch.

And, that my friends, is the sole reason for posting it.

No more.  No less.  Enjoy!

Overdoing Fitness?  The Power of Small Change

Overdoing Fitness? The Power of Small Change

Small changes, micro movements, focused control that is my new mantra for most of the people I see, work with and observe. There is no question, our society, technology and quest for perfection has pushed us to instantaneous gratification levels so far off the mark, that we are driving ourselves crazy trying to do it all, all the time, all at once, all over and everywhere.

We are purely overdoing it.

An Effective Cardio Workout for Burning Fat

There a couple of school of thoughts when it comes to performing an effective cardio workout in regard to burning body fat. On one side, it is recommended to perform a cardio workout at a low intensity for a long period of time. The thought process is that you need to train at a moderate intensity to get your heart rate to the target zone to burn body fat. It has been argued that if you get your heart rate too high, you will begin to burn carbohydrates instead of body fat. Others argue that you will burn many more calories in your cardio workout if you exercise at a higher intensity. They reason that if you simply burn more calories than you consume in a day, you will lose body fat.  Lets look at each school of thought in more detail.
