Because It's New Years
12/29/2011
Fitness First
and that's when the tiny dresses get dragged out of the closet. You want to look good. So why not kill two birds with one stone by toning up for NYE and getting a jump on your new year's resolution?
Getting in shape THE most common new year's goal. And if you want a lasting lifestyle change, then you shouldn't wait until some arbitrary date to get your start.
Since the weather is awesome here in california, I've added a day of outdoor cardio. (day 3)

AB Lab
12/19/2011
Fitness First
The winner of the 'problem area' poll so far is clearly abs. I think its a universal problem because it's the first place your bod stores fat, and the last fat store that your body burns.
Largely, good abs are a product of having low overall body fat, however, we can do lots of speed up the process and target that specific area.
So below is the 'ab lab workout'. It's a perfect ab focused routine that you can knock out in 30 minutes or less.
Obviously some of the exercises will incorporate other muscle groups, but it's preferable to truly isolating anything.

Out of Bed Burpees Challenge
12/03/2011
Fitness First
To properly wake myself up and get my metabolism firing ASAP in the AM, for the next 7 days I will do 80 burpees the minute I wake up. I'll try to finish in two sets, but who knows. I'll video the sessions.
Feel free to take part in this challenge and give feedback about how you feel during the day, soreness, muscle improvement, etc.

The 'No No' List
11/28/2011
Fitness First
Every diet seems doomed to fail as the dieter will eventually give in to temptation. Unfortunately, the things we should avoid are almost universally the things we prefer. But one helpful way to avoid making these 'falling off the wagon' moments less damaging is to channel your moments of weakness to better alternatives.
I personally allow myself a total of 5 no no's per week. For me, a nono must still maintain a certain level of healthy attributes, but at the same time helps give me the fix I'm after. For me it's usually salt. Here is my list.
1. Dark Chocolate
Dark choc is full of antioxidants and has been shown to curb appetite as well diminish cravings for junkier alternatives.
2. Chips and Salsa
SALTY
3. Popcorn
More salty. Easy on the butter. As anyone who really knows me will tell you, I will eat an entire bucket of movie theater popcorn.
4. Kashi 'Go Lean Crunch' Cereal with almond milk and fruit
Super high in protein and fiber. And the almond milk is superior to regular milk in terms of protein, sugar, and fats. All without the bloating effect of dairy. Try Kashi go lean with pomegranate seeds and almond milk. It tastes like dessert.
5. Breakfast burrito
Because I'm a fat kid at heart. And there is a place in my town called 'La Tiendita' which makes the most addicting, satisfying, and inexpensive breakfast burrito in the world. The only downside is the tortilla and beans. Opt for the more mexican version without the sloppy home fries or hashbrowns crammed in.
