Star Struck Health Advice

When it comes to advice on your health where does the truth lie? I don't think that advice from high profile celebrities is the the answer.

Remember most celebs are just trying to be thin. Thin does not equal healthy or fit.

I believe, no, I know that everyone should strive to be healthy first and fit enough to enjoy life at the level your endeavors require second. You will be as thin as you need to be if you pursue health and fitness first.

Without your health what do you have?

That reminds me of a quote I once read..."Those who choose wealth over health will lose both." What motivates the Hollywood elite? What are they choosing and what will they lose in the long run?

Check out the link below for some thought provoking information on what celebrities think is "healthy" living.

In my opinion if you want to be healthy seek advice from fitness experts that follow scientifically proven techniques and athletes that live healthy and fit lives.

Who would you rather take health advice from? Kelly Slater? Oprah? I'll take the healthy, fit, thin guy who can shred Pipeline in December.

Simply Christmas

I am a simply complicated man that longs for a lot of so little. What do I want for Christmas this year? I have what I want I just wonder if it is what I need?

Peace, Love and Goodwill to all.

Full Body Routines Rule

Lifting weights to get stronger, grow muscle, enhance athletics, lose weight, etc. has been around for quite some time now. In that time many, many techniques and tricks have been lauded as being the "best" when it comes to using resistance training to enhance our bodies

I was a fan of "split routines" for many years. Mostly because that is what all the muscle mags were telling us and that was what everyone else was doing. Why must we always follow the crowd. Of course if the crowd is a 250 pound, ripped body builder he couldn't be wrong...could he?

However, I had a sneaking suspicion that there was a better or at least a more time efficient way to get the benefits or working out with weights that the meat heads had failed to mention. Mainly because they must think that we all, like them, have nothing better to do with our time than pump iron in a stinky gym. They were not surfers, of course.

Here is an article about total body workouts. I have been using this technique for awhile now mainly because of the time issue and I like to do a lot of cardio on my "off" days. Also I understand that after working out itself, rest is the key to getting the most out of hard workouts. Plus who really wants to be in a stinky gym 5 days a week?
