Color Them Golden and Bright

The fog is hanging over the bay, making  the day soft and fuzzy.   I thought I’d try to shine a bright light in my world. A list of things I love, in no particular order. Color them Golden and Bright:

Laughing
A face that lights up, happy to see me
Mangoes
Baseball
A bath so hot that [...]

Escaping the Plague Ship

So I was AWOL most of last week.  Monday I came down with that cold-like bug that’s going around and spent the rest of the week a snotty-nosed mess hackin’ up my lungs like a 3-pack a day smoker.
If you find yourself getting that little tickle?  This virus seems short-lived – most of us were [...]

Name This Exercise

Friday I did one of my favorite exercise routines. In 20-30 minutes, with no counting and just a little thinking, you can get a full body resistance workout plus a cardio workout plus ab workout.
All in one package. Without using a machine and without lying on the floor.
With a little creative planning, [...]

Plan of the Week

Realized last night that I haven’t written a plan of the week yet.  I’m sure some of this bores the hair off your head (why can’t it bore the hair off my chin?  I don’t want it there anyway.), but it’s a good tool for my own tracking.
Exercise:
M,W,F: Full-body compound movement exercises.  Deadlift, DB bench [...]

For 4 days, I knitted, talked, slept, ate too much, enjoyed the scenery, and basically chilled. The most physically active thing I did was foam [...]

stability/balance training 2-3x a week.
HIIT 2x a week (after stability work).
slow cardio 3-5x week (walking the dogs).

I do a variety of these activities as 2 a days.  -resistance train in the morning, [...]

HGH, Part Two

Now that I’ve intrigued you about manipulating your natural ability to create HGH… Let’s remember (for many of us, there has been a holiday weekend to fog our recall):
What do I need to keep mind (and what can you do to get hgh working as your friend):
1. HGH is one of the powerful hormones that [...]

HGH, part one.

Last fall, at a point where I felt really good, I was weight training hard several times a week.  I had begun to do some serious HIIT cardio 2-3 times a week.  I was eating clean and healthy – avoiding processed grains except for one occasional treat a week.  I was suprised how very good [...]
