22.01.2022 Here is Rose, a mother of two who is learning the art of foam rolling for the first time. Learning how to prime your body for optimal movement is key in your journey to become a stronger and fitter human being. After a brief roll on just her glutes, she noticed how much lighter her squats had become

19.01.2022 Reposting from my photography account, but this is suited here just as much if not more. This was on a road through Central Park - NYC. It was about 0 degrees outside, so so chilly... but there he was running bare. What's your excuse?

10.01.2022 In the fitness industry there have been countless topics which have caused many disagreements on what the right philosophy, technique, method or ideology should be. The only way we can get overcome this problem is to come in with an open mind and to back up our arguments with scientific research. If we keep playing Chinese whispers with outdated knowledge then we are standing still.

05.01.2022 The slogan, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day," was invented in the mid 19th century by Seventh Day Adventists James Caleb Jackson and John Harvey Kellogg to sell their newly invented breakfast cereal food stuffs. Yes, *that* Kellogg. Then the bacon market jumped on that bandwagon, got 5,000 doctors to sign off on the health benefits of eating protein in the morning, and got news papers to publish the signatories as though it were scientific research. In fact, ...it is the most dangerous meal of the day. Professor Terence Kealey's book Breakfast is a Dangerous Meal highlights the many ways in which it is dangerous. Because of evolution, humans did not naturally eat in the morning. As a result, our body provides a spike in blood sugar to cope with the natural fast we have. So if we eat breakfast (which in our society is usually full of carbs (i.e. sugar) and other foods of low nutritional value) then our blood sugar levels rocket up, which also increases our insulin resistance, eventually leading to type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, eating breakfast increases our hunger throughout the day (contrary to prevailing wisdom) and makes it more likely for us to eat more calories throughout the whole day. As many of the studies which try to prove that breakfast is good for us are flawed for two reasons: Firstly, they are nearly always funded by Kelloggs or similar, and secondly, they are based on correlation and not causation. This is because *it is true that, generally speaking, people who eat breakfast are also more healthy than those who do not.* However, this is because people who eat breakfast come from a higher socioeconomic profile than those who don't, and so generally do what they are told when it comes to health and nutrition - such as eat their 5 fruit and veg a day, do lots of exercise, etc., and to eat breakfast. They are therefore healthier in spite of the fact they eat breakfast, and not because of it. This then allows the studies funded by Kelloggs and other food companies to say "Hey look! People who eat breakfast are less obese!" Which then in turn allows bad news publications to say "Hey look! People who eat breakfast are less likely to be obese!" Which is a lie. Verdict: At the end of the day, whether or not you eat breakfast should be based on your preferences and personal goals. Feel free to experiment to see if you want to make skipping breakfast a habit.
