If you thought your short intensive workouts were hard, perhaps you should try Metabolic Conditioning (or “MetCon” as it is fast becoming known worldwide). A variety of individuals use MetCon, including mixed martial artists, soldiers and actors who need to get into incredible shape fast for movie roles. What is Metabolic Conditioning (MetCon)? MetCon is not a separate workout of its own, rather it incorporates a different set of training tools with the same goals: boost the muscles to build endurance for a harder workout. The core goal is to achieve muscle conditioning, but MetCon also burns a substantial amount…

Fall is here, which means better weather and time to take your workouts outside.  This is my favorite time of year because football season has started, the temperature is getting cooler, and the new season marks a new beginning. This is your chance to switch things up and try new ways to challenge your muscles and metabolism.  Before it gets too cold why not challenge your muscles outside?   The exercises I am going to give you are for people who want to sweat, tone up, and burn excess calories.  Outside is the best place to rev up that metabolism,…

I had the honor of chatting with the Anabolic Doc, which I wanted to do since I frst read his column, and found out he was some what local. I had heard chatter of this man , who was said to be a good guy and a very good Doctor. The icing on the cake is the fact that he has a broad knowledge base of steroids. The idea that a Doctor , a real Doctor ( MD ) that actually knew something about Anabolic Steroids , was unbelievable to me. This is something I have dreamed of for a…

ACC football is not what it used to be, or is it?  Basically, Florida State was propping up the whole league, and a good 15 years of “propping” left the league thinking it was actually worth something. Now Bobby Bowden is out at FSU, there are no threatening teams in the league, and the “elite” teams aren’t even elite. Don’t believe me?  Did you watch football this Saturday? GT, VT, FSU, U Yep, every one of these teams lost in embarrassing fashion on national television this past Saturday.  Miami gave in to Ohio State, and Jacory Harris ruined his Heisman…

In high school, my nutritionist recommended that I start eating breakfast every day to be in the best shape for softball season. I couldn’t see how eating at six o’clock in the morning could be beneficial. I was completely nauseated first thing in the morning from lack of sleep and a stressful course load and I told the nutritionist so.
