Just watched this! It’s so interesting! It talks about how conventional nutritional guidelines are wrong, how the agricultural revolution was detrimental to human health, how fats are not the enemy, cholesterol is not evil, etc. Highly recommended! feralfitness: Fat Head is available on both Hulu and Netflix. I highly recommend watching this film. More importantly, read Good Calories,...

auryonblue: completed daily beast fest went to Millennium Park and picnic’d for a bit (awesome eats while reading my magazines and I have VIDEO which I will upload later) proceeded to walk around downtown, grabbed some clean eats from the store while I was at it hopped the train back to my neighborhood (I… This chick is hardcore!

Loving The Lake

So this weekend I’m staying at a Lake and it’s awesome! Lots of kayaking, swimming, frolicking, and wakeboarding. :D I didn’t bring my bike and I don’t have any weights so for exercise I’m doing the above-mentioned activities plus body weight stuff and running. I’ve gotten out of the running groove and have been trying for the past week to get back into...

iamanthonyhouse-deactivated2011 asked: Hi! Your fellow tar heel, training for first race/tri, again! Not anon this time sorry guess I was feeling bashful. Anyway, I have questions!
1. Diet - I've been eating just about what I want to, while staying away from excessive fats/ caffeine. Any suggestions?
2. Plans - I feel like I've got a comfortable level of fitness to start an actual plan now. Any resources?

Stop Talking, Start Doing!

rippedfuel: “You can’t build a reputation on what you’re going to do” — Henry Ford Anyone can talk a good game, but it takes heart, courage, passion, determination, willingness, faith and vision to actually follow through and DO something. Quit telling people what you’re going to do. Take some action and show them HOW you’re going to do it!

The Spartan Warrior: LIES In The Gym →

thespartanwarrior: The great objection to women exercising—namely, the fear of becoming muscular—is quite without foundation. It cannot be too often repeated that woman is not simply a weaker man: she is physically an entirely different being … In women the muscles simply become firm, close-knit, and…

I made these a couple weeks ago, and they are SO good! And the best part would probably be the fact that it doesn't use any flour.

Protein Foodery

Who’s got good recipes for protein pancakes, muffins, bars, etc?

So yesterday I had boot camp for an hour and then did some weight lifting with my sister and my friend! I started the bootcamp last week and it’s 2X week for 4 weeks and it was only $25 (schweet!!) Bootcamp is pretty awesome. We do lots of bodyweight exercises, intervals, circuits, etc. Some new stuff, some old stuff but always some soreness the next day, which is awesome! Looking...

postcollegerunnergirl asked: So I've heard about the Luna Chix.. It's for biking? Is that right? How did you get involved with them?

New Name (again)

Didn’t really like polysporty for a name so I changed it to foreversporty. Last change for a while promise!

tridad-deactivated20120820 asked: I was actually thinking about you this weekend how much you would probably like it. The one in NC is flatter, but I bet like this one it is filled with college kids and tri teams. It's a big triathlon party. Get a bunch of friends, rent a cabin, and it will be the time of your life. And you can EASILY do it if I can.

60 Miles and still Kickin

I made it!! My friend and I rode about 60 miles yesterday and holy crap was it tough. It took us 3 hours and 28 minutes First of all, I now realize what a beast my friend is. She is a strong cyclist to say the least. She pulled the whole way and if you don’t count our first mile, we averaged about 18 mph - for 59 miles. HOLY CRAP. That’s fast. I was tired just from trying to stay...

justcycle asked: I love your Goals/To do section.

Particularly the converting an old bike to a fixie part. I have a track fixie for the velodrome but it doesn't really have the same ambience of a retro steel lugged frame.

You should definately do it :) I want to build and design my own frame though and really like the idea of putting a belt drive on it too like the one on my...
