E-Cigarettes: If You MUST Smoke

Electronic Cigarettes: The Best Alternate To Cigarette Smoking
While it’s far from healthy to smoke anything or put yourself at risk of nicotine addiction, I will advise that if you MUST smoke, it’s probably best that you switch to e-cigarettes, the vaporized version of inhaling nicotine through an atomized cartridge, called a “cartomizer.”
Today I’ll explain more [...]

Sudden Joint Pain

The onset of sudden joint pain can indicate many different things, so it is therefore important to take a long and careful look at all of the possibilities as to what it could be. The first explanation of this kind of pain is osteoarthritis, and it is a very common joint disorder that millions of [...]

Closing July on a High Note

I’ve been hitting the gym hard, the streets even harder!  While I have not taken on the Insanity Challenge yet, (I want to give myself 60 days on it) I’ve been doing some cardio at Regional Park, where I saw none other than a Vikings all time great quarterback doing some drills, to hitting the [...]

Gym Day: Core Training

Today was a day of some serious core training.  Including a lot of seated rows, abdominal work, and Romanian Deadlifts.  Not much else to report as I get back in the swing of things and ready to start Insanity on a daily basis again.  I’m ready to start this Monday, but am not going to [...]

Insanity Again: Pure Cardio

So as mentioned, I took a brief hiatus from Insanity, because of two reasons I wrote about in past posts.  I suggest you read them if you really care about how I got off track.
Today, I continued my quest to get back on track, by doing the Pure Cardio workout.  I should say, [...]

Wednesday’s Workout Regimen

So yesterday I did the Insanity Fit test, and while I’m going to keep with Insanity, I’ve added weight training to the mix. This week I vowed to get back into things but not kill myself or over-do it, so I went to LA Fitness and did the following exercises in high rep fashion.  Bench [...]

Starting the Workout Again

I haven’t decided on an exact date to start up on Insanity again, but today I came back and did “something” as my toe is starting to heal.  The skin is finally all dead and I was able to trim most of it off. Although it is tender, I feel it’s time to get back [...]

Where Have I Been?

If you follow my Insanity blog on a regular basis, you probably have wondered where I have been.  Well, the answer is two-fold.  One, I embarked on a 2.5 week trip to Minnesota, to visit my parents.  While that wasn’t an excuse to stop doing Insanity, I will show you in my next entry exactly [...]

Yet Another Day of Plyometric Cardio Circuit

I have to vote this workout the hardest…..even harder than PURE cardio.  I think it’s the wear and tear on the entire body, due to the inverted push-ups.  It really does wear out the shoulders.  Anyways, another workout in the books, looking forward to a recovery day tomorrow!  I seriously am looking forward to getting [...]
