To Weight Lift Or To Cardio, That Is The Question 2008-05-14 13:03:01 I like both. I am not quite sure the level of likedness that I have for either, but at some point in my life I have liked both lifting weights and cardio, though usually not at the same time. Both items are a necessary evil in order to be the best you can be. It doesn't mean that you have to be chained to your treadmill or stuck inside your gym every second of the day; it just means both need t Read more:Weight

Am I Fit Or Am I Just Skinny 2008-05-13 19:00:11 Am I fit or am I skinny. I have never been really ripped, and on the same note I have never been really fat either. I have always been average. I have always wanted to lose weight not a great deal I suppose at any given time, but I have never thought, man I need to gain weight. So I suppose you could kind of lump people into three categories if you had to. The skinny, the average, and the fat
Tuesday May 13th Quick Tip 2008-05-13 12:16:56 How often do we find ourselves standing around. We might be doing something, we might not be, but I know that we are standing a lot. I remember standing in line at the pharmacy the other day and there was a long line ahead of me and the liklihood that the line was going to move forward in a quick type fashion was slim. Instead of standing there idle I chose to do something about it. I thought Read more:Tuesday

Fat Loss By Any Means Necessary 2008-05-13 12:04:46 No one wants an excess of fat. Well I take that back, most people do not want an excess of fat. My last post I talked a little bit about the nutrition aspect of trying to see those abs. This time around I want to talk about the exercise portion of what it takes to get those abs to shine. I have read that low intensity long duration cardio such as walking is best. I have read that high intensi Read more:Means

Friday, May 9th Quick Tip 2008-05-13 12:04:28 Breathe. That's it. Nothing more than to simply take a few minutes to breathe. This isn't a time to sit in front of the television, or while you are showering or anything like that. Take five minutes out of your day, find a place to relax, and concentrate on your breathing. Find your comfy place, sit, lay down, stand, do whatever you need to do to get comfortable. Close your eyes, and visual Read more:Quick

All I Want For Christmas Is My First Two Abs 2008-05-13 12:02:32 Six pack, washboard, abs, whatever you want to call them, we all want them. The six pack is one of those elusive things that seems like it will always just be out of reach. Even for those that are in good shape they may not be able to see their abs. For the next few posts, however many I feel like posting, I will be writing and discussing abs. I know that I have always wanted abs for as long a Read more:Christmas

Strong Mind Creates Strong Body 2008-05-13 12:02:04 This article goes hand in hand with a previous article, Pain and the fine line it creates. It said that you should be present in the moment and be mindful to what you are doing. This will hope to go a little further and explore what goes into having a strong mind and a strong body.Mind over matter. This is a common saying that people use, but what does it really mean.

Consistency Leads To Amazing 2008-05-13 12:01:43 This is something that everyone struggles with. Unless you are a super type person, then you have had a problem with consistency at one point or another. I know that I among many individuals have had my fair share of hardships trying to stay consistent in all that I do. It isn't about running a marathon or being an iron man or anything that dramatic it is about doing what you are capable of doi Read more:Consistency

Friday May 2nd Quick Tip 2008-05-13 12:01:23 Today's quick tip takes place in the shopping realm once again. It is actually a two for one as they both come from the same place.If you know you only have a few things to purchase, either grab a basket, or just carry your items. Most shoppers instinctively go for the shopping cart. If you carry a basket with you, it will allow you to carry a little extra weight while you are walking around. Read more:Quick

Pain And The Fine Line It Creates 2008-05-13 12:00:05 I have been asked this question before, and I have also asked this of other people. Are you hurt, or are you injured? To most sports people they will know what that is, but for those who do not, I will try to explain. Most people will think of being hurt and injured are the same thing, and to some extent they are the same. The difference lies in the severity. If you are hurt you can probably work Read more:Creates
Intensity, Never Just Go Through The Motions 2008-05-13 11:59:04 Intensity has always been a pretty major buzz word in fitness. The only problem is it is hard to define making it hard for people to know what it means to be intense. To some it means grunting loudly, nostrils flaring, veins popping. To others it means going as hard and as long as you can possibly go. I hope to cover something in the middle of those two examples.For this purpose, intensity refers Read more:Intensity
The Snooze 2008-05-13 11:56:48 I am writing this to you today, well this should have been my Tuesday post, so you will get two lovely postings today to makeup for me not doing anything yesterday.No the snooze is not some ultra cool person that everyone should know. Although it is an ultra cool something that everyone does know. I am sure that every person at some time in their life has hit the snooze button, again, and again, a Read more:Snooze
Strength, Flexibility, Balance 2008-05-13 11:55:27 Strength, flexibility, and balance are all parts of your one whole. Without one the other three are ultimately doomed to fail. If we are not strong then we can not possibly balance ourselves when we are lifting for strength. If we are not flexible then we can not possibly move within our full range of motion getting the optimal benefit from whatever fitness move we are trying to do. If we are Read more:Balance
Just A Little More 2008-05-13 11:55:03 I have been playing around with the notion of, "just a little more." Lately it seems like if I just gave a little more I would be more productive in all areas of my life. If I would just stay on task at work a little more, or if I would cleanup after myself just a little more, or if I would be fit, just a little bit more, who knows where I would be today. It is easy to be lazy. I am not sure wh
Sunday April 27th Quick Tip 2008-05-13 11:54:44 Sunday was the day that we decided to get back on the wagon and be proactive in our fitness habits once again. It must have been a long time since we've done this as the grocery shopping was both a little bit of a shocker and the whole process, shopping and preparing, was a larger endeavor than I remember it being. Either way I feel good about where we are going and for once I feel just as good ab Read more:Quick

Water, the legend, the myth, the reality 2008-05-13 11:54:20 Water has always been under great debate and scrutiny so I figure I'd get this one out of the way early. There are basically two extremes to this argument with a variety of gray in the spectrum. On one end you have people who think water is the godsend and you should drink as much as humanly possible during the day. On the other end are the ones who shun waters existence and curse the day that wat Read more:reality
Friday April 25th Quick Tip 2008-05-13 11:54:00 Some time ago I watched a show entitled "I want to look like a high school cheerleader again". It was a version of "The Biggest Loser" as it had multiple "competitors" trying to lose the most weight. The difference, if you can call it a difference, was that they were all former cheerleaders who have lost their form. During the course of the show it followed the drama and showed the girls working Read more:Quick

Thursday April 24th Quick Tip 2008-05-13 11:53:41 What we live in today is an age of convenience. We all want something for nothing, and we would like it to work that the less we do the more we get. Today I give a simple tip of convenience.When we go to the store we usually drive around in aimless circles trying to find "the" parking space. Not "a" parking space but "the" parking space.

Wednesday April 23rd Quick Tip 2008-05-13 11:52:27 It seems like more and more people eat out these days. I for one seem to be perpetuating that self made myth quite nicely. The burning question that seems to arise from eating out is, what can I do to be more health conscious. The first thing that comes to mind is, don't eat out. The second is a simple tip that I picked up from somewhere.Portion control is one of the biggest and easiest things you Read more:Quick

Recline your seat all the way back, and do some situps. It doesn't really matter how many you do, just get started and see how many you can do. To add this into you Read more:Tuesday

The Birth Of 365 Fit 2008-05-13 11:51:54 Everyone wants to be in better shape. Everyone talks about it, thinks about it, and reads about it on a daily basis. The problem that usually arises boils down to, no one does anything about it. We are all either too tired, too lazy, not motivated, it's too hard, not enough time, or any other meriad of reasons that we have come up with on why we never actually get things started. 365 Fit isn't rev
Food, The Stuff That Abs Are Made Of 2008-05-13 11:50:39 I have been reading information concerning abs and how to get them. It seems like there is a general consensus about how to get them, good nutrition and fat loss, but it also seems like no one can come to one conclusion on how to go about it. Basically the main thing I have learned is that you need to control your calories eaten, and how many calories you can burn doing cardio and other strength w
My Day Monday 2008-05-13 11:50:07 I was lounging around on the couch this afternoon and the need for a little thirst quencher decided to appear. There is a gas station maybe a quarter of a mile down the road and I made a good 365 Fit choice. I rode my bike. This one was a no brainer. I felt good that one, I got up off the couch, and two I saved a little gas, and got a little healthier in the process. Well, that's what I did t Read more:Monday
Cardio Through Lifting 2008-05-15 09:00:01 Cardio through lifting is not a new concept by any means. It is just picking up the tempo of your lifts. You do that by decreasing your rest period and increasing your reps. I am sure you have heard that they say to build lean muscle you need to lift less weight and do more reps. I am not overly sure how accurate that is, I will have to do some research and post something about it later, but f Read more:Cardio

Lifting Through Cardio 2008-05-16 09:00:01 In my last post I talked about getting more cardio from your lifting. This time around I will talk a little bit about getting more of a lifting workout through your cardio. The way to accomplish this is through resistance.Most people usually do cardio on a treadmill, bike, or eliptical machine. All of which provide a good cardio workout. An often overlooked piece of equipment, or at least, I t Read more:Lifting

Portion Control Is The Best Control 2008-05-20 11:33:02 Like many of you I have read countless articles on health, diet, and fitness. It seems like everyone says different things about how you should go about your exercise and nutrition. The one constant is portion control. I have never seen an expert tell you that you should go and eat a steak the size of your head. Or of course you should get extra heavy gravy on those butter filled potatoes. Moderat Read more:Control
Why Do We Fall Off The Wagon 2008-05-20 08:49:09 Like I stated in my last post, and if you do not know what I am talking about then read my last post, falling off the wagon is easy. So then, what makes it so easy to fall off that wagon and what can we do to stay on it. I hate to inform you that there is no magical solution, a catch all for every individual that will give you the road map to your success. All I can say is that everyone has the Read more:Wagon
Falling Off The Wagon 2008-05-20 08:32:23 It seems like the wagon or I should say the proverbial wagon is very tiny. Also the road is bumpy and full of stormy weather. Every day there are more and more pot holes in the road towards success, and every day it gets a little harder to stay on that path. So what happens when we fall off the wagon? Do we give up and wait for a new week to start over? Or do we take control of our life again in t Read more:Wagon
All Is Not Lost 2008-05-23 08:43:03 I have been covering the proverbial wagon for a few posts now and I can safely say that the wagon doesn't look as good as it used to. The story is going like this. I have been working out doing lifting and cardio pretty consistently. My food consumption has only been going moderately good. I eat a good breakfast, lunch, and two snacks during the day like I should. The problem that I am having
Thursday May 22nd Quick Tip 2008-05-22 07:55:02 Use a smaller plate. Yep, that's it. Use a smaller plate when you are at home eating your food and you will eat less. If you have a smaller plate it does double duty. One, it will force you to not put as much food on your plate as you would with a larger plate. Two, your plate is smaller thereby giving you that illusion that there is more food on your plate than there really is tricking your Read more:Thursday
