Time Is Flying

I have let far too many weeks pass without posting, so here is an update. I have finally got my personal training and massage site up and running. There is still a lot of work to do but check out Busy Fitness.

I have been posting regularly on my other health and fitness sites - at The Fitness Journal, I have posted on such topics as nutrition and strength plus I really think you should check out this great inspirational video. At Building Muscle Fast, I posted on recovery, improving your chin-up and I added some video of bodybuilding greats Arnold and Robby Robinson. You might also enjoy my rant on Biceps Curl Man. At Fat Loss Answers I have discussed using complexes, supersets and interval training for fat loss plus I started a series of nutrition tips by Dr John Berardi.

So I have done plenty of posting, unfortunately not here.

Have a great week.

Fitness Blogs

If your primary interest is in getting bigger and stronger, check out Building Muscle Fast. It focuses on building muscle and strength and includes interviews, training tips and reviews. The latest post is the second part of an interview with Jason Ferruggia, author of Muscle Gain Secrets.

At The Fitness Journal, I have been discussing weight training, bodyweight training, exercise movement patterns and nutrition.

Obesity and Sugars

I listened to a great "Health Report" podcast today on the possible link between high fructose and sucrose intake and the increased incidence of obesity in many parts of the world.

The upshoot of the report for the average person is to decrease intake of processed foods that are high in fructose or sucrose and low in fibre. It is important to consider carbohydrates in relation to fibre levels - an orange is good - orange juice on the other hand not so good.

Super Size Me

For a reality check on the potential impact of fast food - specifically McDonald's - on your health - check out Super Size Me.

Although taken to extremes, the experience of the film maker during his 30 day McDonald's diet is quite amazing and quite horrifying.

The serving sizes available in the United States are also amazing, being considerably larger than what I have seen in Australia or Japan.

I find watching Super Size Me to be great motivation to train and to maintain a relatively healthy eating pattern.
