30 Day Squat Challenge

Hello! I apologize for skipping a few days, just been very busy. I am back today though to share something for Trendy Tuesdays. Recently, I saw a bunch of people on Facebook post a picture that was called the "30 Day Squat Challenege". It came with a picture of a woman's booty and instructions on how to do it. Below is a picture I found that is a little more tasteful for my female audience. I have not personally done this, but I have asked around...

Big Weight for Big Results

What is up everybody? Today on Training Thursdays I am going to talk about a routine I added to my weight training at the gym. For the last 4 months I have been using the Push/Pull method and it has worked very well, but I decided to try something different that would give me bigger results. So far, it is working. A couple weeks ago I read some posts by Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was on Reddit. Some guy was mentioning doing a workout that consisted of mostly bar workouts. Arnold said it was great but to add some isolation exercises on different...

Men's Health Poster

Happy Tuesday to all my readers. I had an idea for a blog post today, but it was going to require more research than I had time to do. I will post that next week! Today, I wanted to share a poster I saw a few weeks ago that is pretty helpful for men. Sorry ladies, I try to be unisex as often as I can. I know this isn't really a "trendy" topic for Trendy Tuesdays, but I felt it was important to share. Take a look at the poster for a minute and...

The Truth About GMO

Let's get nerdy today. This Wellness Wednesday, I want to discuss GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms). This technology is used in the food we eat and even used on animals in factory farms. Many people strongly oppose them and some people say they are a way of improving the world. Let's take a look at the facts and you can make a decision for yourself. So what is GMO? GMO are genetically modified organisms that have had new genes from other organisms added to their existing genes. The goal of such genetic engineering is to give the original organism...

Zumba Zumba Zumba

Today on Trendy Tuesdays, I am going to talk about a fitness trend that has been growing in popularity with women and I think it is a great idea. Ever heard of Zumba? It is basically an hour long cardio class that combines latin music and dance moves. I have not heard many negative things about it so this post should be short and sweet. I am going to generalize this post and say that mostly women are fans of Zumba. There is no reason a man can't do it, but I mean, c'mon. So why do women love Zumba so much? What makes it different than the other...

Chicken Alfredo and Biscuits

TGIF! The allergies are kicking me hard today. One thing I like when I don't feel good, is some home cooking. Today on Foodie Fridays I will show you how to make Chicken Alfredo and Biscuits. At first I wasn't sure how this would taste, but once I took a bite, it tasted just like chicken pot pie. Very good! So let's get down to business. Here is what you will need: 2 cups chopped fresh broccoli 1-1/2 cups sliced fresh carrots 1 cup chopped onion 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cups cubed cooked chicken 12 ounces of Alfredo sauce 1 cup biscuit/baking...

Extreme Cardio Days

Sup? Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I have been studying for an exam required by my job to move up, so I have been nose deep in studies. Good news is I passed so I'm free for a while. So let's get back to it. Today on Training Thursdays, I am going to talk about my Wednesdays at the gym. Every week I have a day I call Extreme Cardio Day. Why do I call it this? I'll tell you. I start early in the morning around 6am at the gym. I do a good variation of stretches for about 10 minutes, because I am about to work the heck out of my legs. After...
