How to Determine The Best Time to Exercise

Written by Chris

Best Time to Exercise?

What is the best time to exercise? Or put another way, is there a best time to exercise? The answer to the first question is depends, while the answer to the second questions is yes. It first must be stated that exercising at any time of the day is far superior to not exercising at all (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/03/health/03real.html?_r=1). But there are other factors that must be considered. Are you a morning, afternoon or evening person? Do you have an extremely busy day? How tired and drained are you after work? What are your training objectives: basis training, fitness training, peak performance training? Are you trying to lose weight? From our perspective, we think that the major question needing answer is “what is your training objective”? That is, are you training for peak performance or training to get in shape and lose weight?

Omega Krill -Wonder Pill or Simply Hype?

Written by Chris

Omega Krill-Dr. Pinkus

 

Today, at the request of my partner, Jeidy, I listened to a radio station program with Dr. Pinkus. He was informing and promoting his Omega Krill pills. Supposedly, these Omega Krill Pills, made from Antartic Krill, provides 30x the Omega-3 Fatty Acids as Fish Oils. While listening to the program, I could not help but be a little skeptical. I am always sceptical initially of products that profess to convene benefits so much better than any other product on the market. Obviously, Dr. Pinkus goal is to sell his product, so his informational message was overshadowed by his promotional pitch, at least in my mind.

According to his website www.drnewtons.com, “Your body needs omega fatty acids to survive — and it can't make it on it's own. So do what thousands of others have done to help lower their cholesterol, reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and help prevent heart disease and cancer — with Dr.Michael Pinkus' OmegaKrill.” As of this post, there were not reviews of the product posted on the website.

A preliminary search of google and yahoo provides no independent reviews of the product. However, other competitive products like http://products.mercola.com/krill/?aid=CD94, or http://www.schiffmegared.com/campaign/landingfy10/?gclid=CLCzwIWWoZ0CFSNQagodc0YzAA or other krill products found at http://www.nextag.com/omega-krill/search-html?nxtg=4690a28051b-66B5610B71325A60, suggest that there are others products claiming the superiority of Krill Oil over plain Fish Oil.

I do not know if this product is legitmate; moreover, I do not know if it has even been approved by the FDA. What I do know is that, before I can recommend it to anyone of even take it myself, much more research is needed.

Have you tried Omega Krill? If so, which brand do you use? What has been your experience? Moreover, why do you use the brand that you use? Please share your thoughts. In the very near future, I will be adding more posts about this product as I learn more and more information.

How to Ensure You Reach Your Destination

Written by Chris
 
There is a famous saying which states that” if you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else”. http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/353.html.  In other words, destination reaching is predicated upon knowing what your destination is.

Let say you wanted to take a road trip from Los Angeles, CA to Miami, FL. Let’s say that you wanted to get there in 5 days. What would you do to ensure that you got there on time? You would probably execute the following steps: 

  • 1.       Determine how many miles are from Los Angles, CA to Mimai FL
  • 2.       Determine how many miles you needed to drive each day to get to your destination within the time frame allowed
  • 3.       Find the path that will allow you to get to Miami on time(Road Map)
  • 4.       Establish what you will need along the trip (Resources, food, money, )
  • 5.       Have your vehicle checked out to ensure that it is in the best condition to reach the destination.
  • 6.       On the day of the trip, check and double check to ensure that you have your roadmap and that all needed resources are accounted for.
  • 7.       As you are driving towards your destination, you will be checking the road signs to ensure that you are still on the right path. If you find that you are not, you will readjust to get bath on the right path.
  • 8.       If something expected happened along the way, say flat tire, over-heated vehicle, road block, detour, saying too long on a stop, you will make the necessary corrections, adjustment and get back on your path, probably even with a greater sense of urgency to make up for lost time. 

Now, this is in now way an exhaustive list; there might be other minor steps that you take along the trip. The point is that you will execute a series of steps to ensure that you reach your destination on time.

Now, the million dollar question, "is a goal of reaching a road trip destination, any more important than reaching a weightloss goal, a health and fitness goal?" I argue no. No, in that if it is important to plan, execute and monitor a road trip to ensure you reach the destination, it is just as important to plan, execute and monitor a weight loss or fitness destination. 

Below is a link to finding out what your dailiy caloric intake should be to reach a certain target weight http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm# (part of the road map). There are of course other steps which will be convered in other posts. But for now, you this calculation to determine what your caloric intake needs to be daily.
