Dynamic Body and Dynamic Mind

I am very happy to say from public support and support from other experts, we are looking forward to a GREAT new year!!

A new series will soon debut. It will take simple myths and gym legends, such as "sitting in a sauna raises gh and helps burn fat", and put them to the test to see if they have solid evidence or weak and no evidence backing them.

It is with a solid scientific base that one can go in various directions without wasting time trying to prove what has already been proven.

I will leave you with this basic knowledge for the new year.

Since the day you are born, you are born to move and move constantly (when all movement stops then so does life). A child unable to sit in class through a boring lecture on history is not suffering from A.D.D. He or she is simply doing what the child was born to do. Move and move A LOT. Keep this in mind when you are looking for ways to drop pounds quickly or develop a more muscular physique. We are born to move and through movement we burn excess calories and we get stronger and better than before. It is only when we begin to limit our motion that we find oursleves with joint pains, limited flexibility, and many related diseases.

Follow these tips to regain your ability to be mobile, stronger, and healthier:

1. Do not sit in one position for more than 15 minutes. You will find your body wants to shift around anyway. If you are able to stand up and squat back down a few times in your seat, great. Place your hands behind your head and lean your upper torso back, as well. A smart strength coach gave this peice of advice:

Squat down keeping your heels on the floor for a point in time where you no longer can hold the position. If you are at work, act like you are checking a computer wire or outlet. Maybe even drop some paper on the floor and take your time picking it up.

2. Walk to places of short distance to you (instead of driving). Your local store, video store, or a friends house. Remember to be safe and try to bring a buddy or maybe a vicious pitbull.

3. Drink a lot of water and get it from a different location than you rest or work at. If you are staring at the boob tube, make an effort to getting up and getting a glass of water every so often.

The more mobile you are the easier it will be to enforce good healthy habits. Trust me, motion creates emotion (good and happy kind). So move forward into the new year!

The Steroid Witch Hunt

This has to be the most laughable joke of a preceding. Celebrity athletes being hunted down because of their use of the "sauce". Seriously, how much money is being wasted testing the hell out of these athletes and searching every nook and cranny for evidence of steroid use. ARE WE INSANE!! I don't care if Bonds took steroids. I don't think I'll lose sleep knowing that a well known athlete has decided to pop a syringe in his butt. Another crazy example is bringing up the past with Jones. How long did that withchunt take.....10-12 years!!

These supposed "Keeper's of Justice" must have a serious grudge against athletes. Maybe these were the guys in highschool getting their head dunked in a toilet of urine and flushed (swirly) by some big jock. Maybe they were pushed into the cheerleaders locker room while still trying to get there pants on (after gym class). Whatever it was it left a nice deep childhood scar that can only be healed by bringing down as many star athletes as possible.

One final note, people who know anything about steroids and sports know it does not make a superstar athlete. ATHLETES ARE BORN ATHLETES. Steroids help recovery after getting smashed a few times by a linebacker. Steroids enhance strength and some endurance so you can play game after game at the demanded top condition. Steroids are not wonder drugs and they do not make a superstar what he or she is.
