    How getting shredded on protein shakes can risk your health

    World's Gym behind Western Sydney's Club Marconi and the after-work rush is building to a crescendo of whirring machines: leg extensions, lat pull downs, calves, abdominals, biceps. Opposite the long mirror, giant murals of the gym-gods look down: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mohammed Ali and ...

    How Much Protein Do We Need (How many Protein Shakes per Day)??

    The RDA for protein intake is 0.8 grams per kilo of lean body mass. Sellers of protein powder seem to promote to double that intake with little to no real evidence to support this number. I really don't believe any gym goer, really needs to greatly exceed 0.8 grams of protein. The RDA would...

    Dr Karl: Why do ponytails swing when we run?

    There's a lot of maths — and a bit of astronomy — behind the sideways swing of a ponytail. If you go for a run, your head bobs up and down a little bit as you move forward. But if you've got a ponytail, something weird happens. As you run forward, and your head bobs up and down, the ponytail...

    Stop your thinking and start your lifting...

    No one here is saying don't think, but there's a time for thinking and a time for lifting. Before you approach the bar, go ahead and think all you like (if that makes you feel better), however once your hands make a connection with that bar, it's business time. In fact, if you really want to...

    Train your pain

    It all begins before you approach your training session, and it begins in your brain. Will you be seeking pain, or will you stop your set at the first sign of discomfort? Your brain tolerance for pain is going to be the deciding factor governing whether you push on or stop. Most of us believe...

    Bodybuilding is not what it used to be!

    The sport of bodybuilding has definitely changed, for the worse. It's no longer the sport that I joined back in 1984. If the immature behaviour displayed by well known bodybuilders, was to take place amongst some professional footballers, the whole organisation would go into a disciplinary mode...

    Frequency vs density training

    I say frequency would win all the time over density. But first let me explain what I mean by frequency and how is it different from density. Frequency is the number of times you train a particular muscle or muscle group in a week. Density is the amount of work, or volume of work you can squeeze...

    What To Look For In An Online Personal Trainer

Many online trainers are qualified, experienced virtual versions of the real deal who can help, and often more affordably than in-person trainers. Here’s how to find the right one...

    Simply Walking - GPS Map Steps

    There's a reason to why I'm sharing this app with you if you like walking. Generally, we all sometimes fall into this habit of following the crowd, or looking at what is most popular based on the reviews of others.

    Use Dice And A Deck Of Cards To Get A Different, Fun Workout Anytime, Anywhere

    A full deck of cards would be ideal. Since the whole workout lasts until every single card has been flipped, you can go with fewer cards to shorten the workout, or use two decks for a crazy challenge. There are three steps you’ll need to repeat throughout the workout: Flip a card: Each of the...
