I’ve come to realize that after we turn 30 there becomes 2 distinct paths that we can take when it comes to fitness. The gravity of life and the world seeks to pull us down, bend our backs and extremities to make us old, slow, and helpless – this is of course if you let it. While some health factors and situations that affect random members of the human race may cause this to be inevitable, the rest of us are able to fight it and maintain a great quality of life well into our 70’s (Studies have shown this to be true). This is why I call it the fork in the road; life rewards those who break laziness in lieu of fighting for a better quality of life and even though luck plays a factor into this when it comes to finances, when it comes to physical fitness it will always pay off….

With the new year firmly in place I see a ton of people on Facebook making bets and resolutions to drop X lbs by Y date. It’s admirable to take on a fitness goal but if you have done something like this recently I must warn you… Fitness and losing weight as an adult is neither quick or long lasting like you assume it is. You don’t lose weight and keep it off without maintenance and if you have not developed the discipline to change your eating habits, workout habits, and ability to resist urges by the time you lose those X lbs guess what will happen? It will come back on you faster than a rubber band that has been stretched. When selecting a goal for fitness it is better to look at that end date that you announce as the first in many “end dates” and acknowledge that this resolution is not just… [Read more]

How many of you readers made a commitment this year to climb mount sexy and drop some pounds? How many of you are still going strong? This isn’t a question of ridicule as your mind drifts over to that negative area of things, but rather a rally cry and a refresher for those who are still on it. The great thing about the beginning of the year is that many people have made this commitment. Unhealthy people are suddenly talking diet, the machines in the gym are on lockdown from the droves of newcomers; and the temptation to slam Sally’s peach cobbler in the company break room is diminished because even Sally has decided to get herself a Body by Vi or whatever. What we find after many years of this same pattern is that around this time – the beginning of April, it becomes extremely hard to stay the course because a lot of… [Read more]

I am asking this question of myself and others like me really – I, like so many others who frequent the gym find It to be a bastion of annoying, unlikable people, standing in the way of the workout. The funny thing is that most people think this way… so in essence the gym is a crazy hell that we subject ourselves to daily. The ultimate gym for the workout enthusiast is an empty, private place, frequented only by those you know, and those who are “serious”. By now you probably think I’m an asshole if you aren’t one of the people in this fellowship. It is why lifters aim at going in at 6am or 10pm when the “Regulars” are in bed. It depends on the gym Back when I was at a former small gym my attitude was very different towards members. People at the time came to work out and when you… [Read more]

The path to weight-loss and body building is one that is full of obstacles and the ghosts of ignorance that aim to knock the clueless off to the wayside. The journey is hard and this is why we call it The Road of Kings. Two of the most painful things that plague the workout enthusiast are Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and Hunger Pangs. Supplementing protein shakes, caffeine powered pills like Hydroxycuts and drinking tons of water can help you to overcome the DOMS and Hunger but so will a fiber-rich diet and proper nutrition. The following list of snacks will help kill your hunger pangs will keeping you healthy. High Fiber Cereal with Almond Milk – I could be wrong but everybody loves cereal, you just have to avoid the ones you ate as a child… you know the ones. Find a box of cereal that is high in fiber, low in calories and… [Read more]

For those of you reading who are actively trying to lose weight, how did you do this Christmas? As someone who has always fallen off during the last month of the year due to rich foods, the pool table, and whatever new video game I was trying to beat, I issued myself a challenge this year – could I come back from Christmas better than I did going in? This year I tried something new to keep me on point; I decided that Christmas was about family, therapy and a return to myself instead of the feast of the year coupled with gift-giving. I can honestly say that now, having done that, it was the best Christmas I have ever had. I feel like a million bucks, my muscles are primed and set to keep my workout going and my stomach is a bonfire. What I did to feel this way was to wake up… [Read more]

We’re not only writers, we’re readers and below are some of the highlights of the past few weeks that we wish to share: Pimp Who Branded Prostitutes With Homages To Himself Sentenced To Life – In addition to raping and terrorizing the women he forced into prostitution, Campbell, 47, branded the women with homages of himself in highly visible places on their bodies. Life sentences are not common for pimps, but U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman said the branding of the women warranted one in Campbell’s case… (NEWSONE) The Reason MEN Double Back to Sex Their Ex… Instead of the Next – It’s quite simple why sex with your ex is better than sex with your next. There is the familiarity: knowing what each other likes, the perfect spot to set the mood right, the turn ons, and the game plan you need to have in place to make it a great night, day or… [Read more]

There’s just something about yoga pants that makes a woman so gosh darn irresistible.  Is it the way they converge upon her, hugging her ever so soft yet supple skin, accentuating the vast curvature of dat ass?  Indeed. Don’t get me started on those compromising yoga and pilates poses.  I promise I’m not staring at you while you perform your ustrasana.  I just never knew Hollister made yoga pants in pinkish cream. Not surprisingly, underlying this raw physical attraction is something that’s a little more primal in nature. Women often wear yoga pants during their strenuous physical workouts.  When we sweat we release pheromones into the air, which in turn causes a chemical reaction within the person smelling it – we’ll call them the “smellee”.  This reaction triggers within the smellee a response, in this case, sexual arousal. So the next time you see a goddess wearing yoga pants think about why you’re so turned… [Read more]
