Being one month into P90X and having dealt with shoulder issues this entire time, I feel like I can comment a bit about what causes shoulder issues with the program and modifications that have worked for me during this rehab period. First, let me stress that you should always listen to your doctor or physical [...]
Over the last week I’ve had the chance to try out Beachbody’s new Energy And Endurance pre-workout supplement. I was not sure what to expect with this. The only pre-workout anythings I’ve ever taken before were a banana (or some fat/carb/protein mix of food) and some pills made by Body Fortress that were to boost [...]
I mentioned in this post where I thought that one of the reasons why my shoulders began hurting was my form. It’s funny when I think about it because you would think, and I certainly did, “How can you screw up a push-up?” Well, I don’t believe it was purposely bad form, and I don’t [...]
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking of why I developed shoulder issues. I remember as a teenager my right shoulder hurting during tennis practice one day. My left just started out of the blue. And with exercise, they seemed to get worse. Having gone through 3 months of PT, lots of research, suggestions of [...]
Guess what: It’s December 27th. Christmas is over. We’re all stuffed on all the holidays foods we can stand. Personally, I’m about sugared out (yes, I’m the first to admit I’ve had WAY too much sugar over the last….month). But in just 5 days, it is 2012, and everyone is doing the same thing: New [...]
It’s the holidays, which means Christmas is soon coming (as of today, 25 days away!). So while figuring out presents to get your loved ones, don’t forget about your (or their) fitness needs and things that can give them that extra something they want out of life: Health, fitness, happiness, etc. So let’s start with [...]
If you have a goal, you have to know how to get there. This goes for everything in life: Career, financial, and fitness. The problem is, too many people simply just “show up” to exercise but there is no clear plan on how to go from point A (where they are now) to point B [...]
I’ve had the “motivation” conversation with quite a few people recently and thought I’d make a quick blog post about it. Several people have commented on my motivation and determination to stay the course with P90X and my nutritional regiment. Some have said they simply lack the motivation while others have made remarks about how [...]
Let’s face it: It is way too easy to let life get in the way of our health and fitness. Exercise requires extra time, extra energy, and better foods to keep your body fueled the way it needs to. But life creeps up, things get stressful, and then exercise is the last thing you think [...]
So you’ve finished with Tony Horton. Shaun T just finished kicking your tail for 9 weeks. You’ve done Chalene’s 12 week Turbo Fire. And now you’re wondering, what to do now? The great thing is, there are options. I have my preferences, which I’ll get to, but here are some thoughts: Do something different. Get [...]
