Vegetable advice

Vegetables can be a great asset in weight loss because they provide a larger portion with a fewer number of calories. However, just like with anything in life, all vegetables aren't good for you. Vegetables that come in cans can be especially troublesome because they tend to have higher sodium content.

You are generally ok buying fresh or frozen vegetables because they tend not to be covered in dressing or sauces. Vegetables can also lose their "good" qualities depending on the cooking method you use, methods like frying is always discouraged.

The vegetables that my friends and I have the most success with is spinach and cabbage. They are extremely low-calorie and can be prepared in variety of ways from raw, steamed, or cooked in soup. According to the American Heart Association a diet high in produce will significantly lower a persons' risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Break's over!

We're back! I want to apologize to anyone who thought the site wasn't coming back. I received a few emails asking about new posts and whether the site is continuing. The answer is YES. There will be new workouts, diets, and articles that are salient to healthy living. I wanted everyone to become comfortable with the current workouts posted and was concerned with you guys burning yourselves out. Exercises should typically be switched up every 2-3 months in an effort to prevent plateauing so I didn't want to overload you with too much too soon.

So in the coming weeks, despite having finals, class projects, major work deadlines, and my own workout schedule I will be providing new video workouts that will add to the available ones. Thanks for all of your feedback and keep up the great work!

Men's calf circuit

Calf circuit

This calf circuit is an excellent way to make to build strength in your left and right calfs. The calfs are the pectorals of the lower body, so that should help encourage the guys out there to not ignore them! The legs are very important because they are the bodies foundation, just like the foundation of a house. Without leg strength for support our balance, core, and upper body strength is negatively impacted.

Men's leg circuit

Leg circuit for Men

This circuit is an excellent way for guys to target their quadriceps, hamstrings, calfs, and gluteus maximus while burning fat. The reverse squats and dumbbell squats target the quads, hammies, and gluteus while the jumprope hits the calfs and helps burn fat. Very good way to build overall muscle tone.
