Ryan Shay -- RIP -- Died of Heart Attack Jogging

The elite distance runner, Ryan Shay collapsed and died yesterday (Saturday) during the U.S. men's marathon Olympic trials.

They said he had an enlarged heart but was cleared by the doctors. But still, I truly believe that human beings were NOT designed for long distance jogging...

That belief is based on studies that show the heart is NOT exercised during jogging. All jogging really does is train the lungs to take in oxygen.

And have you looked at most joggers? They are almost anorexic and have sunken chests. And then compare them with the college sprinters. Those guys are built! They do interval training. Fast, slow, fast slow without constant wearing down of the heart that steady exercises like airobics or jogging...

In fact, you don't even need to jog or run. You can train and sculpt your body using Craig Ballantyne's exercise program, Turbulence Training...

The Future of Weight Loss? Written by Craig Ballantyne the Author of the Top Bodyweight Workouts for Busy Folks...

The Future of Weight Loss?

By Craig Ballantyne

Thanks to a new invention, you can now lose weight by walking while you work.

Researchers from the Mayo Clinic hooked up subjects to a walking workstation - essentially, a treadmill at a stand-up desk - to determine how many calories they could burn while walking at a self-selected velocity (an average of 1.1 mph).

When they worked while sitting in a chair, the subjects burned 72 calories per hour. However, when using the walking workstation at 1.1 mph, they burned an average of 191 calories per hour.

The researchers concluded that using a walking workstation for as little as three hours per day could help people lose up to 60 pounds in a year.

However, let me add my professional opinion. To me, this is nothing more than wishful thinking. Why? Because, as I've reported previously long slow cardio is a waste of time. In fact, even six hours of hard cardio per week results in only an average of six pounds of fat loss in a year.

The bottom line is that aerobic exercise (a.k.a. cardio) is an inefficient way to burn fat. You need to focus on interval training and nutrition to lose that spare tire.

The Miracle Beer Diet Video

This is an amusing "fake" advertorial for beer diet. The point I wanted to make was this ad isn't far off from most of the advertisements we see in the real world. They promise you the sky, take your money and leave you in the gutters. And people fall for those ads because them make billions each and every year. They are doing a horrendous job because most adults are getting fatter and fatter each year.

Do it right. Get the common sense ebook written by Tom Venuto: Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle ebook.

The slimming club for fat cats and dogs

Well, humans are not the only species that is having trouble with their weight.

And to be honest, humans ARE responsible for the excessive weight gains of their pets...

From the article: "Half of dogs and cats in Britain are overweight, according to the RSPCA."

Article

Wow! The RSPCA also says if you cannot not easily feel a dog or cat's ribs, it is probably overweight.

Their solution: take pet to expensive club to lose weight. My solution? Take a moment of time and really think about what cats and dogs are supposed to eat(Big hint -- MEAT). If they are eating grains and sugar -- alas -- I suspect many dog and cat foods have these ingredients...

And take them out for a walk if they are shut ins...

Just common sense. No need to spend gazillion bucks.

Oh yeah, take the beer away from the cat. :)

Six out of 10 Britons would rather die than exercise

The title says it all. And I am sure this is true for most of the developed world...

Go here to read the article:

So why do we hate exercise so much?

Well sure, we have extremely busy lives -- we scramble all week at work and have no energy in our free time to take care of ourselves.

And making a commitment to workout and tone up our bodies is a really major thing...

But it wasn't always this way...

Up to ten thousand years ago before we invented farming and domesticating the animals -- when we got up -- we had to get the food -- or die.

Simple choices lead to the simple desire to live. But nowadays -- oh come on! If you are hungry -- go to the grocery store -- go to the local eatery.

We are not fighting to survive anymore. Food is plentiful. If you have read my other blog entries or my website, you know I question the kinds of foods we are putting into our bodies.

And I would admit it, if you are not conditioned to exercise, it is really a miserable experience. Not only that, most of us have the wrong idea about exercise. We see lean and mean people jogging by the park or sweating at the club and figure that this is what we have to do to look like them.

Let me tell you a secret -- even those people don't have a clue what they are doing! That's right. Those healthy looking folks probably just got lucky genes in them. So don't follow them!

Get the right book that is going to tell you the truth about exercises and food choices. Do it right, and you will be amazed how easier it is to shape your body and your outlook toward life.
