FDA Dietary Suppliment Information

Friday I posted a quick blg about the FDA hydroxicut recall. Below is the link to the FDA Consumer Updates for Dietary Suppliments.


It is true that our olympic athelets take suppliments like protien, but you should always consult your doctor about any suppliments that you wold like to take.

Pain: Good or Bad?

Pain is part of exercise. It is either a good pain, or a bad pain. The good pain is the burning of your muscles. That warm feeling that lets you know you are becomming stronger. The bad pain is usually sharp and unexpected. The good pain means keep going. The bad pain means stop right now!

Take heed to the bad pain. It is your bodies way of telling you that you have gone to far. You have injured yourself. If you do not stop now, you may be injured permanently. You do not want to pres your luck with this pain.

The good pain is not just the burn of the workout, but that settle hint the next day that you did good. Should that settle hint cause you to walk funny or keep you from exercising again, then you pushed it to far. Find that level where you know you did good, but not to much.

Hydroxycut Recall

I just stumbled upon this on the Navy Physical Readiness website.

-hydroxycut warning 5/1/2009 - stop taking Hydroxycut due to
liver problems-tainted weight loss pills 12/22/2008


Please consider consulting you doctor befor taking
suppliments. The suppliment industry pay big bucks
to not be regulated like the drug industry. Kind of
makes you wonder why.

50 Days and counting

For CPPD-MW, it is 50 days and counting until the Fall PFA. For anybody who required measuring in the spring, it is time for a little honesty. If you have not yet made an effort to make sure I do not need to stick my nose under your arm pits to wrap the tape measure around you, please try this workout. It is called the "50 States climbing challeneg" You can find it on my NavyFit website at http://sites.google.com/site/navyfit/cardio/50-state-climbing-challeng. This will help you shed some pounds before the PFA. You will have to commit 1 hour a week. Speak for all CFLs out there, we would appriciate it.

The Call of the Wild

Getting tired of your gym yet? The same roads put you to sleep on your runs? Try a trail. Trail running, or even hiking, adds new elements to your exercise and stimulates your mind by offering you something else to look at. I live in Indiana. Let's face it. Kansas has more hills then Indiana. As a matter I've been to 36 states. Only 2 of them are flatter then Indiana. In my hometown, you can stand 5 miles from town and see it. The only reason you could not see farther is because of the trees.

Trails offer you something different. Depending on where you live, trails can offer you:
  • Plains
  • Deserts
  • Mountains
  • Rivers
  • Oceans
  • Forests
  • Glaciers
None of which your gym can offer you. Try it some time when you need some rejuvenation in your workout.
