Air Diet: Can’t Be Serious?!

Mike — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:21:34 +0000

I always enjoy reading about ridiculous fad diets inspired by celebrities. The latest one is the Air Diet, inspired by Dolce & Gabbana’s campaign featuring Madonna. Created by the French, the diet is pretty self-explanatory – you eat only air. The biggest and probably only rule of the diet is to eat nothing except water and [...]

Three time Grammy nominee Leona Lewis is looking sexier than ever. She’s still got those glamorous curves but she looks much more healthy and tone. She recently told Closer magazine that she did a strict, month long detox to jump start her weight loss. She said, “I went on a detox at the end of summer [...]

Venus & Serena Williams Endorse Nabisco 100 Calorie Pack Snacks as Diet Divas?!!

Mike — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 02:13:35 +0000

This is a sham, anything for the green American dollar. We all know every calorie is not built the same…right?! Venus and Serena Williams are definitely the divas of tennis but now the sisters are endorsing the new Nabisco 100 Calorie Pack snacks and so they are now the divas of diet. The Nabisco 100 Calorie [...]

Yes, Ernestine Sheperd is 72-years-old. Yes, she’s a fitness instructor. And yes, she runs 80 miles a week and lifts weights almost every day.

Bad knees and all, I think it might be time to go for a little run! I will wrap up my week with you guys, but first take a look at a winner: David Goggins went from 290 pounds and out of shape to one of the fittest athletes around. He’s truly an inspiration. On [...]

‘Junk in the Trunk’? It’s Not Necessarily A Bad Thing

Mike — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:38:22 +0000

I shared similar finding sometime last year about How a Fat Ass maybe Good for your Health. Now one year later this: A study that shows that the voluptuous figures of countless black women possess more benefits than just aesthetic perks. News from the study reports that fat in the butt and thighs of women may [...]

Fighting Childhood Obesity (VIDEO)

Mike — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:18:34 +0000

Paris Woods is hardly a poster child for the obesity epidemic. Lining up dripping wet with kids on her swim team, she’s a blend of girlish chunkiness and womanly curves. Like nearly one-third of American teens, Paris Woods is overweight. Her doctor worries her weight will creep up into the obesity range. One out of four [...]

The Health Benefits of using a Trampoline

Mike — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:43:04 +0000

As fun as trampolines are to use, people are often unaware of the health benefits they provide. Studies by NASA scientists show that rebounding (bouncing on a trampoline) is 68% more effective than jogging, and yet requires a lot less effort, also using a trampoline on a regular basis can help aid weight loss, increase [...]

DAY 5/6: Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

Mike — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:40:28 +0000

Day 4 was an abomination…I went on a carb rage like no other. After a good day of eating light …I got home without a plan and ate every piece of bread at home. You see…..There was some gourmet cheese in the house and the rest was history. Day 5 was great 40min cardio cycling class [...]

Is there really such a thing as Self Love?

Mike — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 22:20:25 +0000

I have to wonder why this question was posed as such. It seems to indicate that self-love is perhaps fictional or delusional. Self-love is not needing validation from someone or something else, it is holding yourself to a higher standard than others around you would. Self-love is making sure you don’t put yourself in harmful, [...]

Leg Workout: It Hurts So Bad | Black Fitness Blog
I have a love/hate relationship with my legs. The funny thing is you can not deny them. You can hide them with sweats or even jeans but you can not deny them.
