At first site Sean Nalewanyj’s site looks like so many others - filled with lean guys flexing their muscles all over the page! Especially, Sean, himself…
Oh, no! Yet another site for men - and young, fit men at that! Yet another muscle building site!
But right at the bottom of the page there is […]
Here is a very cool freebie courtesy of Cleveland.com. They challenged a local personal training coordinator to develop a 6-week training program for a typical couch Potato - who they defined as:
Someone who is about 20 pounds overweight, in reasonably good health, eats reasonably well but does not exercise…..
If this fits you, then this […]
The brain, just like muscles, works harder during strenuous exercise and is fueled by lactate, rather than glucose. This helps explain why the brain is able to work properly when the body’s demands for fuel and oxygen are highest. It also goes a step further to show that the brain shifts into a higher gear in terms of activity.
Lets face it, we’re not all after fame and fortune - but we would like some of that bootylicous that Jennifer Nicole Lee has got herself the fitness program that she is now so famous for. In her words:
With my concentration in fitness, I am qualified to be your mentor and coach- being Ms. Bikini […]

Waist size, fitness level may matter more than your weight …
The Free Lance-Star, VA - 9 hours ago We are talking overweight and mild obesity–not severe or morbid obesity (see my explanation of the different categories on Page E3). … |
Immature, or “baby,” fat cells lurk in the walls of the blood vessels that nourish fatty tissue, just waiting for excess calories to help them grow into the adult monsters responsible for packing on the extra pounds, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in mice. Researchers have long known that such cells were probably located near blood vessels, but they didn’t know exactly where.
High levels of physical activity can help to counteract a gene that normally causes people to gain weight, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. They analyzed gene variants and activity levels of the Old Order Amish in Lancaster County, Pa., and found that the obesity-related FTO gene had no effect on individuals who were the most physically active.
Finding excuses not to exercise is easy. The September issue of Mayo Clinic Women’s HealthSource offers ways to overcome common barriers with some creativity, flexibility and a different mindset. Here’s a sample: Excuse: I don’t have time to exercise. — Schedule exercise in your day as you would an appointment. If you wait to find time, it probably won’t happen. — Turn off the TV. Free up time by watching one less program.
One place where global food shortages are making very little impact is a roadside eaterie in Texas, where diners are invited to wolf down a steak the size of telephone directory in just one hour. The BBC’s Kevin Connolly decided to see whether he could meet the challenge.
Middle-aged members of a runner’s club were half as likely to die over a 20-year period as people who did not run, according to a new study.
Trying to reap the health benefits of exercise? Forget treadmills and spin classes, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies may have found a way around the sweat and pain. They identified two signaling pathways that are activated in response to exercise and converge to dramatically increase endurance.
In addition to limiting calories, overweight and obese women may need to exercise 55 minutes a day for five days per week to sustain a weight loss of 10 percent over two years, according to a report in the July 28 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
The first gene clearly linked to obesity appears to make it harder for children to tell when they are full, UK research suggests.
The comfortably off, white, and middle-aged are the most likely to participate in sporting activities, reveals a 10 year study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Older people who did endurance exercise training for about a year ended up with metabolically much younger hearts. The researchers also showed that by one metabolic measure, women benefited more than men from the training.
The key to good health is to be physically active. The key to being active is… to be born that way? In two genetic analyses performed on mouse hybrids descended from strains known for their high and low levels of physical activity, researchers have located six single and several interacting sets of genes that have a large effect on the animals’ predisposition to engage in physical activity. The research points to the profound influence of genes governing dopamine regulation in the brain and suggests that active or inactive behavior may be inherited in mammals.
The public are not opposed to the state interfering in people lives to get them to become healthier, a BBC polls shows.
Using a child’s body mass index (BMI) as a measure of the success of exercise targets may be misleading, say experts.
Television host Fern Britton tells This Morning viewers she did not feel the need to "tell everybody" when she underwent stomach surgery.
HONOLULU (KHNL) — Live healthy and drug free — that was the message to dozens of Hawaii high school students in an annual competition. But it wasn’t the only one. Some of Hawaii’s strongest high schoolers flex their muscles in the 6th annual bench press and body building competition. But this is […]
The Biggest Loser program has become one of the top reality TV show all around the planet. And no wonder - its truly inspirational to see these big fatties claw their way to fitness!
