Here are my thoughts on why we get fat as we get older.
One major reason is that our metabolism slows down since we are no longer growing into an adult. There is nothing that we can do about this, but we can try to fight it by increasing our metabolic rate via exercise.
But, back on topic, [...]
This is a pretty awesome way to get in shape, and it doesn’t take up much time.
Imagine if you go to the gym every day and do a full workout, it will take a hell of a lot of time. But if you only work one muscle group per day, you can get it over with [...]
I’m really enjoying losing body fat at the moment with my own weight loss boot camp
It’s fun too! So what does it entail?

The best time to target fat [...]
Yes it’s true, I finally achieved my weight loss goal to see an 8 as the first digit on the digital scales. Earlier this year I weighed close to 100Kgs and lately I am more like 93Kgs and I have glimpsed 89Kgs after a day at the beach with a lot of fluid loss due to [...]

Looking overweight e.g. flab around the mid section and my face not looking lean
Excessive sweat in [...]
Apart from having a great taste and texture, do you know of the health benefits of chocolate?
Way back in time the Aztecs regarded chocolate or “Cacao” as sacred and love and fertility were associated with it. In fact it was used as currency and regarded as a food of the gods.
So why call it Cacao instead [...]
Recently I got back up to 99Kgs (218lbs) in weight which is 10Kgs from where I would like to be.
Now we have nice weather, I can get out more to exercise such as running and cycling. I also do a minimal amount of weight training in the form of push-ups, dumb bell curls and shoulder presses [...]
One of the problems with modern life is that we tend to be sitting around a lot, munching on unhealthy snacks, and drinking beverages that contain all kinds of contaminants.
So today’s tip is to consume more water for your drink. The water is really what your body wants and filtered tap water is my recommendation (unless [...]
My Friend Craig Ballantyne, creator of Turbulence Training simply can’t put his feet up and enjoy the Winter Olympics without working out.
So in an effort to get me to keep my weight down, he sent me this workout plan. At least it should give me the strength to haul the beers in through the snow! Nah, [...]
This website has always attracted quite a large number of visitors. Thanks for visiting!
I am going to come clean here: I do operate a number of other sites, so this one is not my priority. So it can get a bit neglected at times.
For instance, the category pages seem to show up as blanks in IE7 [...]
This time of year is when folks slowly start dropping off from their workout program, or cheating on their diet.
And for a lot of folks, weekend eating – particularly SuperBowl weekend eating – is to blame.
When some folks binge eat, they go looking for a “detox diet”, thinking that will reverse all their mistakes.
But I’m not [...]
This winter I experienced a lot of snow in my home town which made it impossible to go for a run.
So I started shoveling snow which turned out to be good fun and good exercise.
I had several layers of clothing on so I peeled off a layer as I heated up starting from wearing a coat [...]

Today I wanted to do a short run but the weather was closing in with rain clouds looming.
The night before I had consumed a delicious small bag of Cashew Nuts so I really needed to compensate for this with a 30 minute run.
As I headed out, within about 1 minute the rain was starting so I [...]
Over the last 11 days I have been running a lot and doing a few simple exercise routines. The result has been 4 kg of weight loss which is 4% down from my starting weight.
Doing the running has boosted my fitness level so I can now run 10 km in about 1 hour. The first time [...]
Now my knee has mostly recovered, I am able to run again. I think running is one of the best ways to lose weight since it is physically demanding, gets your heart rate up and is fairly enjoyable due to being able to vary the routes you take and observe the scenery around you.
To start with [...]
After having some set backs after injuring myself, here are some ideas based on what I am doing now:
Cycling up hills and back around to home base – this is easy on the body but still a good workout
Working one muscle group before a shower such as doing 3 sets of push-ups and making them as [...]
I think I got this idea from Scoobie on Youtube where he does killer targeted workout routines full of grunting and possibly aimed at gay guys.
So my present workouts are aimed at one muscle per day. This is a great way to work out if you are lazy about working out like me, I think.
My idea [...]
