Only cardio burns fat, right? Wrong. Cardiovascular exercise is effective at torching calories and the larger the muscles worked, the better, but nothing is more effective at building that all important metabolic rate than weight training. Start light and increase as your body grows stronger. Weight training adds muscle bulk to the body and helps to burn fat for up to 48 hours afterward. Seriously. Why do I need cardio if I want to tone up? Both weight training and cardio are important and help to build a sexy, lean, muscular body. In order to get muscle definition, it is…
They say you can’t go home again. They also say that when you make a decision to retire, you should stick by it, especially in pro sports where the game seems to pass the long in the tooth veterans by faster than ever with the influx of young talent, both domestic and foreign. They’ll tell you that a second act will never be as successful as the first run. Ask Michael Jordan, who, after winning six titles with the Bulls, came up short with the Washington Wizards when he came out of retirement. While Brett Favre may be flying high…
In sports, everything pertaining to performance can be measured by statistics. The success of every player and team can be broken down into columns of numbers denoted just by a few letters, allowing a hardcore statistical enthusiast to crunch numbers with the best minds pro sports has to offer. Was Dennis Rodman as good a rebounder as Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlain? Was Rogers Hornsby really a more proficient hitter than the Yankee Clipper or the Splendid Splinter? Did the innovation of the three point shot change college basketball’s scoring? All those questions and more are always up for debate. …
If you think about it, your arms work most of the time. Like when you work at your computer or talk on the phone, your arms work. Each arm is attached to each of your shoulder blades at the upper back corner of the rib cage. Three bones make up the arm. The two bones that work below your elbow are the radius and ulna. The humerus works above the elbow. These bones are skinny at the center of the bone but gradually widen toward the ends, allowing strength to connect to each other. The radius and ulna attach to…
What are some of the foods you must absolutely stay away from as a Bodybuilder? I am sure if you took a moment or two you I am sure your mind can think of some foods that you know you should not consume at all. To help keep your mind from working overtime, I have listed some foods to avoid below and see if you don’t agree. If you can think of any others, please let me know and add them. French-Fries – I listed this one first because French fries are so popular today. Yet, they are deep-fried in…
Despite my belief that season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter was a turd sandwich, there were several good reasons to tune in and watch the big finale. Most notably was the fact that half of the fighters on the main card were not contestants on the show. Both the lightweight and light heavyweight bouts were very intriguing and MMA fans were definitely going to be tuning in for Kimbo Slice’s UFC debut against Houston Alexander. The night opened with a bout between season 10 contestants Marcus “Big Baby” Jones and Matt Mitrione. Mitrione didn’t earn many fans with his behavior…
One of the most effective ways to torch calories is through the wonderful cardiovascular exercise, cycling. Mountain, spinning, road, or indoor cycling is a very effective way to raise the metabolism and burn fat. It will burn many calories after a workout. Expect to burn around 250-300 calories every thirty minutes, dependent on weight, speed, and terrain. Regular cycling will build extremely strong calf, thigh, and buttock muscles. Legs will become lean, muscular, and shapely. The largest muscles in the body are activated during cycling and burn off a lot of calories, as well as dip into fat stores. Just…
In what was the most anticipated fights of the The Ultimate Finale 10, Kimbo Slice outlasted Houston Alexander to eek out a decision victory. Yeah, that wasn’t a typo. I’ll be completely honest with you, I did not see that result coming. Here’s a couple excerpts from my twitter that I posted while the fight was happening… Worst and lamest start to a fight i’ve ever seen. Circle circle circle. So boring Un-****ing-believable how could they dance like that in the first round? I cannot ****ing believe that went the distance. Everyone and their grandmother thought this fight was going…
p>Despite what I thought about the 10th season of The Ultimate Fighter, I’m pretty excited for the finale of this show. The boys at UFC matchmaking did the best they could with the talent they had and actually created some intriguing matchups. I will once again attempt to use my mediocre talent evaluation skills to predict the outcomes of tonight’s bouts. Thus far, after UFC 106, I have a 3-4 record. Marcus “Big Baby” Jones vs Matt Mitrione: This is a matchup that I wouldn’t have cared about until the season finale this past Wednesday. Jones, usually the sensitive, quiet…
