Okay, everyone. After much research and thought, I’m going to try an experiment for a few weeks to see what sort of results I get. I’ve read The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook before, and even gave it a half-hearted attempt back in the winter of 2008/2009. I gave up before I saw measurable results, partly [...]

SRSLY U GUYS
By Alex in Exercise, Goals, NutritionHey guys, I’m still here…I just haven’t had the best April. It’s been fraught with too many half-starts and nutritional shortcomings to mention. I am looking forward with a fresh face, however; I have been pretty active this week following my performance in the Drake Relays 8K.
Obviously, having never run the 8K before, I set [...]

I don’t have a degree in nutrition science, but I, as a fitness disciple, have learned from the experts, and I want to share what I know [...]

Wow…I am sorry folks
By Alex in Exercise, Goals, NutritionOh man, apologies time. It’s been quite a while, obviously, since I last updated you folks. And that was some of this and that. Partly I got busy. But let’s be honest. I could’ve squeezed a post in here or there. Mostly, I lost my focus for a bit. I’ve been kick-started again because of [...]

Days 5-7: Remarkable results, underwhelming weekend
By Alex in Exercise, NutritionThis weekend has been less productive than I’d originally planned. Friday, I was able to get down to the WRC for a brief workout: lat pulldowns, chest press variations, and renegade rows, followed by a round of interval training on the treadmill. I was a bit disappointed that the weight room wasn’t open to check [...]

Day 4: Out of breath
By Alex in Exercise, Goals, NutritionThat’s about the only way to describe my last workout. I met up with Trevor, a friend of mine, and we played some pretty intense racquetball for a solid half hour. I’m used to my cardio interval workouts being around 10-15 minutes long–this was double that! It’s been quite some time since I spent any [...]

Day 3: Completely Unmotivated
By Alex in Exercise, Goals, NutritionSlept great. However, once again I failed at getting up early to work out. A great piece of news though, the WRC (UNI’s rec center, a.k.a. where shit gets real) is open for business this week! I got my pass taken care of today at lunch, so MAYBE I can figure out getting up early [...]

A 10K to start 2010
By Alex in Exercise, NutritionWhat a way to start the year off right! Heather and I were up in Minneapolis for Team Ortho’s first race of 2010, the Polar Dash 5/10K. Heather talked me into trying my first 10K ever for this race, so we both raced in the 10K. We checked into the hotel around 5, after packet [...]
