Interval TrainingInterval training has become the hottest fad, with people decrying steady-state cardio, and promoting high-intensity interval training (HIIT) as if it were the only way to train. You'll hear grandma's discussing their Tabata Protocol numbers at bus stops, hear snickers as people walk by people jogging along slowly, and in general run into the belief that if you're not HIITing it, you might as well not bother. What is HIIT? Is it really the ultimate way to train for cardio? What are its benefits, and what are its potential problems?

Will Lifting Weights Make Women Bulk Up?

Female MuscleOne of the questions I receive the most often in regards to P90X, or just weight lifting in general, is whether or not it will cause women to 'bulk' up, and suddenly develop large, unsightly muscles. There seems to be a real concern that picking up a free weight will cause veins to writhe into view across your biceps like earthworms, will cause your shoulders to broaden, your voice to deepen, your back to grow huge and your legs turn into tree trunks. For some reason, many women fear this and so stick to low impact cardio and the machines in the gym, endlessly repeating the same workouts while eying the squat cage with fear. So let's take a look at this a little closer. Will lifting weights make women bulk up?

INSANITY Workout and Joint Pain

By |2019-06-22T09:19:29-04:00February 2nd, 2010|Exercise & Fitness, Insanity Blog, Latest Post, no photo|

Insanity Workout Joint PainIt's no secret that the INSANITY workout is intense. Six days a week you work out, from cardio circuits to plyometrics, ranging from thirty minutes to an hour, leaping and sprinting and squatting and dropping down into push ups. Usually most workouts operate on a day on, day off schedule, allowing your body to recover and adapt slowly to your new routine, but INSANITY keeps on the pressure from the get-go. This is why it's slated as a workout for experienced athletes--not because novices might lack willpower or determination, but rather because they won't have the conditioning necessary to prevent their bodies from falling apart after the first few weeks. So how do you prevent your joints from getting all banged up and sore? Even a conditioned athlete will run into trouble if he's not careful. In today's post, we'll look at some options, and see if we can't help prevent your joints from flaring up ;)

Best SteakSteak is a national pastime. From the established and renowned steak houses of NYC to the backyard bbq's across the country, from restaurants that serve steak strips on salads to the Tex-Mex fajitas that serve them in tortillas, steak is consumed everywhere. However, of late much has been said of studies linking the high consumption of red meat to the development of cancer, leaving people in the lurch--should they continue to consume steaks? Given the maxim 'everything in moderation', perhaps we should consume less steak, but of higher quality. But how to know what to look for? Price isn't a sufficient indicator, nor is the fact that it's served in a fancy steak house. Read on to learn what to ask for, and how to tell if what you're putting inside you is the perfect steak, or some expensive imitation rip-off.

Men Like Dogs?Seriously. I know that there are hundreds of thousands of psychology books out there, mapping out the intricate, Freudian depths of men’s psyches. That we men are fully realized human beings, that some of us are mature adults with complex desires and lofty goals. But at the heart of it, are men just like dogs? Can you boil us down to a few commonalities, and in so doing, figure us out? I think the answer is quite clearly: yes. Read on, and decide for yourself!
