My Burger King Story

No, I did not have Burger King..although I know many of you would pay to see me eat that stuff. That's right.. it's stuff, not food..but anyway..

I was getting gas and while I was sitting in my car waiting, I started to eat some Fage yogurt. Some random guy rolls down his window and says "Are you really eating yogurt and getting gas?" I looked at him as he sticks his hand into his Burger King bag and reaches for a french fry and I replied back, "Are you really eating Burger King french fries and getting gas?"

I think it's funny that eating something that is actually nutritious and beneficial for your body is looked at so differently and almost strange to some people, whereas they are eating processed, junk crap, and it's looked at as natural to them. This comes to show we are lacking the proper knowledge of how to feed ourself something that our body can actually use. The way people eat and treat their own body today is a form of abuse.

    i get looked at like i have 3heads by members in the health club I work (yes in a so-called "health club", where people should be receptive to optimal nutrition) when I'm drinking a green smoothie. that goes to show you, bad habits are hard to break, good habits are even harder to teach... j. peace, tbo, keep doin' ur thing.

    Yeeaaaah Tebow! You are so right! Our outlook on nutrition is so flawed! Like the whole thing with 'whole wheat bread' being 'healthy' but yet it clearly has gluten in it and gluten is associated with celiac disease. Yet it's considered 'healthy'. People don't care to know if they ate healthy organic food they would feel energized and their quality of life would be substantially improved. We have a looong way to go with nutrition education...

Quad & Hip Flexor Mobility & Flexibility

Why is it important to include mobility work for the quads and hip flexors? Tight muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg can cause a number of problems, two of which I will discuss in this blog. 1.     Tight quadriceps and hip flexors can put you at an increased risk for a hamstring injury. When people say that a muscle is “tight,” they are essentially saying that the muscle is chronically shortened. Without getting too much into the anatomical specifics, when the hip flexors are “tight,” or shortened, they pull on the lumbar spine. This pull on the lumbar spine increases the curve of the lumbar spine (excessive lordosis) and in turn causes an anterior pelvic tilt.  When the pelvis tilts anteriorly, the hamstrings (attached to the ischial tuberosity) can become excessively stretched/lengthened, which can lead to a strain. Therefore, by keeping the hip flexors and quadriceps at proper length, we can keep our ...

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a  point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far  one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.".  The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same.  Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back.  THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you.  We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward.  You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort.  Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t...

Are you brave enough for a COLD SHOWER?

Why I Take Cold Showers And You Should Too For the past three years I’ve taken a cold shower almost every single day. You might think I’m crazy and at first; trust me, at first I thought I was too. But hold your judgment, hear me out, give it a try and then you can thank me. What are the benefits of cold showers? 1.     Improve Mood A 2007 study looked at how cold showers affected people with depression. Here is what the authors of the study hypothesized: “Exposure to cold is known to activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the blood level of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline and to increase synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain as well. Additionally, due to the high density of cold receptors in the skin, a cold shower is expected to send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from peripheral nerve endings to the brain, which could result in an anti-depressive effect.” The study ended up finding that cold showers of 2-3...
