We as a human race are gullible. Even with modern technology, satellite photos, history books, the internet, etc., there exists a contingent of human beings (click here) who are convinced that Earth is flat. While I don’t possess the expertise to get into an astronomy debate with anyone with even a rudimentary education of the solar system, I can look at a globe and see it’s round.
Recently, I have been getting a fair amount of questions about in-home workouts. I have been reluctant to answer because my honest response is usually “join a gym”. Depending on where you live, there is a gym in what seems like every square mile or so. Gyms are good, even crappy ones are still pretty good because they have weights. The science says weights make you sexy and strong. My advice is usually go to where they keep weights and work-out there.
99% of the time, I’m an easy-going kind of guy. I try not to let much rattle me and have adopted a “never too high on my highs or too low on my lows” type of outlook. Every so often however, something unhinges me a bit, and most often it’s fitness or nutrition related.
The basics of fat loss are simple. There is nothing “quick and easy” about maintaining a caloric deficit for any length of time to drop unwanted fat, but that’s what is necessary to get it done. Any blog post or infomercial claiming the next great fast fat loss system is usually trying to sell you something. Or they don’t know shit, probably both.
If you've found this website deep in the nether regions of the internet, it's either because you know me personally and I sent you the link or you stumbled upon an article I have written in the past and wanted to see what's up. As you can tell, I'm not a website designer. This modest site took me almost 8 months to put together. In my own defense, during those 8 months I have been trying to maintain a quickly growing client load at my gym and raising a 3-year-old and an infant. While WordPress is certainly user friendly, it's not something I recommend trying to learn in between cleaning up a diaper blowout from your daughter and playing trains with your son. To say it's been a humbling experience would be an understatement.
When it comes to snacking, it’s hard to go wrong with chips. Pretzels and crackers are cool, no doubt, but chips are where it’s at. BBQ, sour cream and onion, and if you’re around the Baltimore area, crab chips lead the way for me. What’s not to love about a snack with great flavor, a good crunch, and just the right amount of grease? Ahhh yes, the calories and macros. There is a price to pay for that glorious snacking and it comes in the form of double chins and man boobs.
When it comes to protein shakes, I’m an easy customer. So long as its palatable, comes with the amount of protein I want, and doesn’t have a bunch of other useless calories, I’m happy. Every so often however, I make the extra effort to concoct a shake that satisfies my taste buds and my macronutrient requirements alike.
If you're already killing time on social media, you may as well lose body fat and increase lean muscle mass while doing it.
