Step two is to keep doing it. Step three is to see and feel results. But even if you manage to stick with the first two steps, the third one can be a little hard to attain. You may not see results right away and, depending on how long it’s been since you exercised, you may feel worse instead of better–at least in the short term.”

“Fat-busting salad
What could be healthier or more low fat than salad? Well, it depends what’s in it and on it. In its basic state—a bed of salad leaves with chopped vegetables, it is indeed low fat and healthy. It’s what is added to our salads that gets us into trouble.

Salads prepared at restaurants or fast-food joints are not always the healthiest dishes on the menu. And those salad kits from the grocery store, with condiments and toppings included, offer convenience but may not necessarily be low fat. The salads listed below should raise some red flags.”

I would like to send out a  huge thanks the audience,  you :) Your encouraging feedback and support keeps  this show going.  The raving iTunes reviews help heaps too ;)
Thanks to the TPN gang for providing the medium to host and deliver the podcasts.

Vienna, my old co host, is living at the Gold Coast now and doing really well for herself, I am hoping one day in the near future she can co host the show again too. Thanks V for all the fun times we had creating the shows.
A big thanks goes out to all the guests I have had on the show.  We have covered topics from Krav Maga to Kettle Bell Training with professionals in the fields.

Looking forward to many more years of podcasting on The Health and Fitness Show.

It’s so easy that no one ever has to teach you how to do it. It’s so easy, in fact, that we often pair it with other easy activities—talking, chewing gum—and suggest that if you can’t do both simultaneously, you’re some sort of insensate clod. So you probably think you’ve got this walking thing pretty much nailed. As you stroll around the city, worrying about the economy, or the environment, or your next month’s rent, you might assume that the one thing you don’t need to worry about is the way in which you’re strolling around the city.”

“Snorkeling is a wonderful activity that can be enjoyed by almost anyone who has access to the ocean, a lake, river, pond or quarry.  Snorkeling as an activity frequently lives in the shadows of scuba diving - another excellent pastime, but one that requires significantly more instruction, time and money. Most people who have snorkeled have done so only on group charters while on vacation, but snorkeling is an activity that can be done almost anytime, anywhere.”

I hadn’t been climbing for a while, so I really did miss how intense the workout was.

It was great to see parents taking their kids there. Climbing teaches them confidence, inner strength and great for self esteem.
I climbed at http://www.hardrock.com.au/ in the CBD.  Really well designed place.

What I like about rock climbing is that it engages all muscles and helps you work them out using full range of motion.  It is very challenging.

Hardrock CBD Venue

http://www.hardrock.com.au/

So you want to try Rock Climbing? What to expect and require:
You will be inducted before your first attempt… this is a really important step.  The instructor will go through the belaying process and safety procedures.  Many places have inductors onsite, so you don’t have to book, but I would call ahead just to be sure.

You will need a climbing partner.  It is good to have one person that you can completely rely on to be your climbing partner.

Where to aquire all the equipment required:
I strongly recommend not to buy the harness, carabeena, chalk bag, etc until  you have tried climbing at least twice and have really enjoyed it.  These are not cheap items but if you plan to go climbing often, it is better that you purchase.

I keep a “climbing bag”, which has all my equipment ready to go for climbing… makes life really simple and you never have to worry about forgetting anything… just add water (a bottle of water, that is :)).  I also have a swimming bag, snorkeling bag, and gym bag - easy to get ready, don’t have to worry about a checklist.
Can climbing be done instead of training at the gym?
It is funny but  the climbing centres are usually referred to as gyms :)  Climbing is the equivalent of an awesome  resistance workout, with a little cardio.  So you will still need a bit of extra cardio in your training regime and if you add stretching at the end of a climb you are completely covered!

Happy climbing :)

The game encourages extreme physical exertion and, unlike the Nintendo Wii and other console games, it recognizes and registers intense brute force. The physical intensity of the game contributes to general fitness, weight loss, and stress relief at the same time it allows you socialize and create new friendships over a distance in an entertaining sportive way.”

Many of us take our health for granted. It is not until we have taken the opportunity to cleanse our bodies that we truly realise that we can always improve our health and reduce the risks of disease and accumulation of toxicity in our bodies. Toxicity is the underlying root of many diseases and illnesses.

The Lemon Detox Diet is an all natural cleansing program designed to help with eliminating built up toxins in the body, and purifying the body. Every once in a while, every machine needs an overhaul, every system needs a cleaning, every worker needs a break. Our bodies are no different. The Lemon Detox Diet invigorates the body’s own ability to cleanse itself of accumulated toxins and helps normalise weight while we take a break from solid foods. The very purpose of food is to strengthen the body and maintain health, yet many of us have turned eating into a deadly act of weakening our bodies and destroying our health.”

[Read on]

hmmm not sure about the answer given here.  Yes, most of what said is true, but I feel as though it is a little misleading.  Maybe I have just misinterpreted the answer.  Therefore, let me submit this to you with some hypothetical figures:

Day E Input: 6600kJ

Night E Input: 2000kJ - no energy from Carbs
Total:  8600kJ

Total daily E output: 7000kJ

According to the figures, over time you will put weight on because your overall daily output is less than your input.  So I have easily shown that the energy input type at night is not a factor in putting on weight, it is the amount of energy given to the body as opposed to what is expended over the whole day.
I focused on this article because I have noticed a negative focus on carbs since the Atkins diet popularity increase.  Carbs are not bad, what needs to be avoided is eating the same thing in vast proportions everyday.  Or, starving the body during the day and binge eating at night.  A well balanced diet is the way to go.

The body clock is designed for a regular rhythm of daylight and darkness, so it’s thrown out of sync when it experiences daylight and darkness at the ‘wrong’ times in a new time zone. The symptoms of jetlag often persist for days as the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone.”

That’s because it requires you to be in a specific location, which might explain why more men consider themselves runners than lifters. After all, running is the most accessible form of exercise — anywhere you go, there’s your gym. But learn a little bit about physics and the same can hold true for your muscle workout.”

Nice article! Too many people believe that in order to exercise you need to join a gym… not true.

Exercise is everywhere!
“See those kids, potential dumbbells. Now rock me two hundy.” The Z Man
Instead of driving, walk, instead of walking, run.

But, to be fair to gyms they do offer something very important, convenience. Most people work during the day making it hard to get exercise in, especially people working in an office or in similar environments, whereby physical activity is not in the job description. The gym does offer a place to exercise when it is cold, dark and rainy outside. Thanks gym.

Year after year I would witness the dramatic results of calorie restriction in my laboratory at the University of California-Los Angeles. The animals eating a normal diet would start turning gray, their hair would start falling out, their bones would get brittle, they would start moving more and more slowly, and then they would stop moving forever.”

Generally, when we’re hit with any of these little ailments, our first inclination is to go to the pharmacy and drop $20 on some over-the-counter products that usually relieve the symptoms, but do very little to actually cure the problem. So, in an effort to save you a bit of cash, we’ve compiled a list of common ailments and a few suggested foods that can help clear them up. A word of warning: None of us is a doctor, so please don’t rely on these suggestions as factual, medical advice.”
