3 Random Fitness Tips - involving watermelon, onions, and crazy workouts

3 Random Fitness Tips

involving watermelon, onions, and crazy workouts

I just had some random workout and nutrition tips for you on my mind today, so here they are:

1. Onions = Amazing Superfood... Eat onions daily if possible.

Not only do I love onions, but I recently read a longevity study that surveyed a large amount of people who had lived over 100 years of age. One of the common threads they noticed from the survey of these amazing people that lived to ages exceeding 100 was that they ate a lot of onions.

Kind of weird huh... but not a surprise to me. In fact, onions are definitely an important super-food as they contain unique organosulphur compounds and potent antioxidants that are rare in other foods.

I've also read dozens of studies that correlated onions with pretty impressive reductions in cancer risk.

I like to add onions to almost any meals I can think of... slices on sandwiches, added to salads, in my morning eggs, in veggie mixtures with lunch or dinner, and more.

2. Mix up your workouts with "5-minute bodyweight exercise challenges"

This is a unique way to add some variety to your workouts and maybe even get a friend in a little competition with you.

You can throw one of these in at the end of a workout as a high intensity finish, or even just do at home on non-gym days.

Basically, all you do is choose 1 specific bodyweight exercise such as bodyweight squats, pushups, lunges, etc and try to do as many reps of that exercise as you can in exactly 5 minutes (timed). I've also used 1-arm dbell swings for these 5 min drills and they work great.

This works best by trying to do 20 or 30 reps at a time and then taking short breathers of about 10 seconds before continuing on your next round of reps.

We've even made this a little competition between a couple people at my gym in the past where we all line up and get timed for 5 minutes and see who can do the most squats or pushups or whatever it may be in that 5 minute time period.

From what I've seen, if you can do 100 or more pushups in 5 minutes, or 200 or more bodyweight squats in 5 minutes, those are pretty impressive numbers. I think my record was somewhere around 225 bw squats in 5 minutes.

3. Example of the Glycemic Index (GI) being useless

In several of my newsletters in the past, I've given examples of how choosing your foods based on the glycemic index can be misleading and useless in many cases.

Case in point...

Watermelon has one of the highest measured GI's of all foods (much higher than even cake and ice cream). However, a normal serving of cake and ice cream may give you a whopping 700 or 800 calories, whereas a typical serving of watermelon may give you 50 or 60 calories max!

Trust me... watermelon isn't making anyone fat!

The lesson... GI is almost useless when you're not considering "Glycemic Load", which also factors in the quantity of carbohydrates ingested in a typical serving.

Achieving Results

Finally after 2 months of tae bo, I can see some results, it has been a lot of effort.

Tae-bo is a very good excersise, it has changed my life.

Anyone else has some results with tae bo to share?

This week so far

Very hard week, a lot of work at my job and I had almost no time to excersise.

The good thing is that my diet is giving me very good results.

last 2 weeks

Hi, this last two weeks have been very productive.

First: I'm 6 pounds less so I'm very happy.

Second: I won a price at my gym because I was the "biggest looser"

Third: My jeans look better on me.

The Tae Bo combined with the diet is doing magic.

Week 2

This week was very good, Now I've lost 2 more pounds.

My diet and the excercise is working well, now I have to keep going, I don't want to recover the weight I lost, It's easier to gain it than to lose it.

I'm happy with the results.

Days 5 and 6

Yesterday was sunday and I took it off, but today I had a normal trading session, remember I told you I need 20 pounds less, well I'm 0.5 pounds less today.

I know it's a long way but It's a good start.

Day 4

Today is a very nice day, it's a little bit cold but it's ok to excercise, I feel better than yesterday.

The instructor said that Tae Bo is a very hard exercise, but my progress is amazing, It's a good thing to be recognized.

I found a natural remedy for a lot of diseases I'll post it later.

Day 3

Today I felt very tired at the class, my body was very hard but the instructor said it's normal, your body has to prepare itself.

Anyone else is taking any tae bo or any fitness classes? I'd be very happy to know about someone else's experience.

Second Day

I feel like my body is getting stronger, I know It's only the second day but I feel great, I need 20 lbs. less, let's see how long it takes me to reach that.

Tae Bo History

Blanks developed the routine in 1976 by combining dance with elements from his martial arts and boxing training to form a workout regimen. During the 1990s, a series of videos were mass-marketed to the public; by 1999 an estimated 1 billion sets of videos had been sold on the back of a frequently aired television infomercial. As a result, Tae Bo became somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon in the late 1990s. Gyms began offering kickboxing-based fitness classes similar to Tae Bo. Since Blanks had taken out a trademark on the name they were not allowed to use the term Tae Bo without paying a licensing fee. Tae Bo videos and DVDs continue to rank among the top sellers in the fitness genre and derivative classes are still offered at many gyms.

Tae Bo classes are taught worldwide. Tae Bo includes many of the same punches and kicks as karate, but is not intended for fighting—it was not meant for any combat or self-defenseapplications. There are no throws, grappling moves, or ground fighting techniques in Tae Bo. Its only intent is to increase fitness through movement. Tae Bo also includes aerobic exercisesintended to strengthen all muscles of the body with basic choreography.

The high-intensity workout is intended to increase cardiovascular fitness, strength, muscular endurance and flexibility.

Tae Bo Description

Tae Bo is an aerobic exercise routine that became popular in the 1990s. It was developed by taekwondo practitioner Billy Blanks and was one of the first "cardio-boxing" programs to enjoy commercial success. Such programs use the motions of martial arts at a rapid pace designed to promote fitness. The name Tae Bo is a portmanteau of tae kwon do and boxing.

My first day

Hi today is my first day in a Tae bo Fitness center, it was a little bit hard but I understand it will be like this the first weeks.
