Those are all myths. Gaining weight is just about RELATIVE eating; eating more than you currently are. I know you think you’re eating a lot, but you’re still not eating enough. Otherwise you wouldn’t be skinny. Metabolisms and genetics don’t have THAT much control over you. Read on. The 8 main reasons why you are a ‘hard gainer’ are: Lack of Food: Write down your daily calorie intake – trust me, you’re not eating as much as you think you are. Make sure you’re actually eating at ALL possible times. Wrong Food Choices: Foods like salads and vegetables in general,…

Appreciating the consequence of stretching the back muscles begins with grasping and understanding of how these important muscles correlate to the overall function of the body. Muscles of the back shore up the spine while the back maintains the overall strength and control of the whole body. The muscles in front of the spine, known as flexors, assist the back to flex forward. The muscles in the back of the spine, known as extensors, help the body to remain upright. On the side are oblique muscles that help the back to rotate and help maintain posture. The reason to stretch back…

There are various ways to lose weight, one of which is to eat according to your blood type. If you have ever given blood you will have been given a card or keyring, which states your blood type.

Dr Peter D’Amamo has claimed that by eating the correct foods that match your blood type, they can help push the body into optimum…

It ain’t gonna be all peaches, sunshine and roses when the Packers and the Vikings face off on Monday night.  The Packers and the Vikings already hate each other (kind of like the French and the Germans…only a whole lot more) and now the Packers have even greater reason to hate the Vikings and the Vikings fans get to gloat because they got the first-ballot Hall of Famer AND he made a miracle play last week (to a guy who’s name he didn’t know.)  Needless to say, that’s the marquee matchup of the week. We’ve got some weird games going…

The lunge stretch is a favorite by many athletes and is by far the most useful of stretches for these four muscles. Start out by merely placing your body in a standard lunge position, and gradually press down and slowly back toward and through to your heels as you drop your knee to the floor. The most useful and helpful move in this stretch is to push downward into the hips while stretching. By doing so you open up the flexors a bit more, thus you achieve a deeper and more effective stretch. Breathe normally while you stretch and try…

(22)Michigan @ Michigan State Noon Michigan needs to stay on a roll and Michigan State needs to get it together at Michigan’s expense. The tale of the tape here will lay with Tate Forcier.  If he goes and he’s at least 75%, the Michigan wins.…

It is tough to add muscle to the body because it requires a lot of time and effort. Most guys want that toned broad look, and sadly, not all of us were blessed with killer abdominals, chiselled calves, and bulging biceps. Not everyone is a fan of the gym either. For those men who are very thin and have a natural fast metabolism, it is tough to build muscle on a lean frame, but it is achievable with patience and determined focus. It is important to change the diet. Yes, the metabolism is fast but that does not give a…

The Baseball Regular Season is coming to a close with the Braves fighting the Rockies for the NL Wild Card and the Twins and Tigers duking it out for the AL Central.  Other than that it’s all downhill into the playoffs.  So, let’s get right to awards.  (Yes, I still don’t think the Braves will catch the Rockies and I think pigs will fly before the Twins catch the Tigers.  There, I said it.) The Awards of 2009 AL MVP – I’m giving this one to Zach Greinke even though it will probably go to Joe Mauer.  I know Mauer’s…
