For most people, their knowledge of body weight strength training doesn’t go beyond knowing how to do a pushup and that’s understandable. Its the first exercise we’re taught as youngsters in physical education classes when we’re growing up. But, what we’re not taught is it’s one of the best exercises we can do for strengthening the whole body. Yup…that little old pushup can really do wonders for your chest and core! Read More→
Fasting for Health Benefits
By · Comments
Are you presently fasting for health benefits? I know from experience when people think of fasting they usually think about starving. Fasting isn’t something we voluntarily do because food is so plentiful and who would want to give up all the delicious goodies that are available to us? It takes a lot for someone to just simply say “I want to give up food” today because we have been taught we need 4 things in life to live.

I was not fully recovered from it but seeing as though I was a starter, I was determined to play in the game. I ended up having one of the best games of my life scoring 20+ points and grabbing about 14 rebounds!

Is saturated fat bad? We have been told it is, but is it? For most of us we’ve either seen or heard something that goes like this,” Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.” This has been drilled into us so much and so often that we really don’t know what to believe, including me. A few years ago, I was like every other person out there who thought eating fat made you fat so I cut it out of my diet. It seems logical to think fat would make us fat, right?
