Workout

I can give you all the health and fitness knowledge that I know, but what you do with it is up to you. I hear it all the time, people asking why they aren’t seeing results. After all, they’re showing up, they’re working out. What’s the problem? Why doesn’t your body reflect the effort that [...]

Sunday mornings in the Boyle house normally rock. It’s the one day of the week I get to wake up without an alarm clock… normally. Unless you have a crazy cat who likes to remind you that by now you’re alarm has ususally gone off and you need to get out of the bed and [...]

No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. – Edmund Burke Not a bad way to spend a Friday afternoon… So this bad-boy is the so-called “three bars of death” — a three-ring-circus of bodyweight bench presses, .75 bodyweight power cleans, and 1.5 bodyweight [...]

Am I the only one that is thinking today is going by way too fast? Is there such a thing as Doggie Boredom? Because I am pretty sure Zoe has it and is in 100% disagreeance with me about today. (She also says “Mom, I want a hair cut!”), poor girl. Today seems to be going [...]

‎”The quality if your being expresses the correctness of your understanding.”  - Thomas Campbell A question from reader Eli Bailey: I was wondering if you may be able to clarify and expand on your listing on the website that says ” the individual components of the workout – as well as the workout itself, when [...]

Not the most feminine in topics but it’s something that I have seen happen time and time again and I am ready to tackle the issue straight on! Have you ever worked out and felt that panic arise… no literally, you begin to feel as if your last meal is going to rise right on [...]

This past weekend Dan casually looked over at me and suggested we change up our routines to be more circuit/boot camp style. I love these kind of workouts but if I want to do them I normally have to do them with my boot camp or on my own so when he showed interested I [...]

I haven’t shared a workout in a while, so I feel a little overdo. Sorry about that. The workout I did today I did at the gym but you can just as easily do it at home too. It was heart pumping and my entire body was tired at the end! The premise is simple… [...]

“To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.” – Benjamin Franklin Excellent!  Always a man ahead of his time; cool Ben, the original proponent of intermittent fasting The Ancestral Health Symposium, 2011 In a word, just a fabulous, fabulous, 2-day event.  I won’t go into a complete re-tread of of AHS 2011 events here; soon enough, [...]

True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are united ~ Alexander von Humboldt George Church (Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School) argues, in this Big Think piece, that the age-old divide between science and religion is solvable. “We can bring them together,” he says, “but it requires less [...]

I will admit, I am one of the few people out there who truly loves to exercise. And I’m pretty sure you could say I am addicted to it, which is fine for me because I have so many reasons to hit the gym. You probably don’t think about it a lot, but why do [...]

Three diverse pursuits emanating from a single, overriding endeavor — weight training.  I began dabbling with a Venn diagram to illustrate the association (or, rather, lack thereof) between the above-mentioned individual pursuits themselves, and quickly gave that up; the association being more along the lines of the interaction of blobs within a lava lamp (showing [...]

Charcuterie: …from chair ‘flesh’ and cuit ‘cooked’) is the branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products such as bacon, ham, sausage, terrines, galantines, pâtés, and confit, primarily from pork. Charcuterie is part of the garde manger chef‘s repertoire. Originally intended as a way to preserve meats before the advent of refrigeration, they are prepared [...]

I am so happy to report that after about 5 weeks, I am feeling like me again. My back is feeling so much better (finally), the inflammation is down and I can stand and walk with no pain. The rest test is when I sit down and then get up, since sitting down puts lots [...]
