It is very common to feel stressed and run-down during the season where everyone is celebrating the holidays. With Halloween coming up, it is time to start thinking about the holiday season and regulating your lifestyle to keep your body in top shape throughout the season. Because there is so much stress during the holidays, your immune system can get weaken and the overall power of your body becomes weaker. You may even end up sick if you don’t take the time to take care of yourself. Here are some simple rules to follow to help you make it through…

There are a little over 30 days until the holidays begin. Of course, you want to feel healthier during the holidays, and you want to make a serious effort to add healthful food items to your diet even though it may seem impossible between the pumpkin pie and chocolate fudge.  If you start now, 30 days out from Turkey day, you can avoid starting your diet during the holidays. The holidays are a time of year that can be too overwhelming to start a diet.  Instead, gradually make dietary additions, now, by planning ahead. Add new items to your shopping…

The Trade Deadline is Tuesday and I want to speculate on some people who need to be included in “last minute” trades.  I’m not going to embarrass myself by pretending to know where these guys should go…I just know they need to go.  NOW! TRADE BAIT 2009: Let’s start with Turrull.  Buffalo picked him up because they thought he would be a nice addition to their offense.  Another big target for Trent Edwards.  Here’s the problem…the Bills stink, they’re probably moving to Toronto, and Turrull is not the same player he was just a few years ago.  Since Buffalo is…

SO I am a huge Chicago Bears fan, and last night was a F*ing mess last night. How do you get 3 penalties on the final drive that would have won the game, 4th and 1 turns into 4th and 6, why because Pro Bowler Orlando Pace goes off sides, not to mention Olin Kreutz holding 2 plays earlier, it was so disgusting. How about the first drive of the game, that touchdown couls have lead to the winning drive, instead of failed tying drive. Talk about rage, I lost it after the game. I love the bears and Atlanta…

You may have heard that Lyoto Machida drinks his own pee. Well, it is not a rumor, he does. Why would anyone do such a thing? Well, according to Lyoto’s father, Yoshizo Machida, drinking your own pee helps provide amazing immunity benefits. Here is a piece from Sherdog’s interview with Yoshizo: “Sherdog: What about urine therapy. How did you start doing that? Yoshizo: Actually, this technique was used in China and India a long time ago. I started doing that after reading a book about a Japanese doctor who was in World War II. When the medicines ran out, he…

If you have no exercise partner or friend to motivate your mind through the tough workouts, music can help to push your mind beyond those painful boundaries to build stamina and muscular strength. There are usual music systems for you to listen to at the gym on each of the machines, but these usually list the radio stations, and we all know that a lot of chit chat takes place on these stations. Alternatively, you can purchase an MP3 or iPod system, download your own music, and let that be your instant motivation when the need arises. Music is a…

Yesterday I was telling someone my current picks record (51-23) and I starting talking about how the NFL is such an hourglass that I don’t see why I can’t keep up my (IMO very good) record.  Then it hit me…the NFL IS an hourglass this season.  Sometimes the league is top heavy or bottom heavy.  Sometimes there’s a million teams “in the middle” and only a few on top or bottom.  This season is completely different.  So, in order to illustrate I’ll do a Power Ranking of sorts, but I’ll have only Top and Bottom teams (and one in the…

Spinning is a fantastic cardiovascular exercise that improves the fitness greatly. Spinning works on building the stamina, builds leg strength, and can burn up to 800 calories per hour session, much more than running would. It can be as hard as you want to make it, and will cause the body to heat very rapidly, so it is important to carry water with you and a towel to mop your sweat. One of the great things about spinning is it is a group exercise performed to music and it is very motivating. Your spinning instructor will talk you through climbs,…

Yep, there it is…”The Punch”.  LeGarette Blount decking Boise State’s Byron Hout after the Ducks lost a game everyone thought they could win.  Hout was taunting Blount and Blount completely flew off the handle and threw “The Punch”. This is a commentary on how Oregon came back from this utter disaster and put the Humpty Dumpty Ducks back together again. Right after the punch it led every sports and news outlet in the universe.  Everyone was talking about it.  Everyone was debating how long each player would be suspended.  Some people even suggested that Blount should lose his scholarship.  I…
