Water Fluctuations and Your Weight

Water Fluctuations and Your WeightBy Bob Greene, BFA, MFAGlee Contributor Be forewarned that when you first become active or increase the amount and intensity of your exercise, you will retain extra water.Gaining this extra water weight can be disheartening and has caused many people to give up their exercise programs. The truth is that gaining this extra water weight is a very good sign.As you become more active and drink more water, your muscles will act like sponges and will immediately become more fully hydrated. In addition, you may also add a little new muscle, which in turn will store even more water.The more active you are, the more glycogen (a stored carbohydrate) your muscles will retain. Each gram of glycogen stores an additional 2.5 to 3 grams of water.Finally, the better shape...

One particular bioactive peptide called calcitonin (sCT) has been of special interest in these studies. The reason is because...

The truth about our Potentialby Kevin Eikenberry on April 20, 2011in Developing Others,Leadership,LearningOn April 18, 2011, Geoffrey Mutai broke the Marathon record in Boston (though it doesn’t officially stand yet as the World record, a detail not important of this post – this isn’t a sports blog after all!), running the 26.2 miles in 2:03:02. This record time equates to about 4:43 for every mile for over 26 miles!Looking at the results from this week’s Boston Marathon showed me something even more interesting than the incredible speed of the world class runners. Here it is:23.41% of those who started the race were over 50 years old (and their % of finishers roughly matches the overall % of the field).You have to run a qualifying time to even compete in the Boston Marathon, and over 23%...

The Cheat Meal Manifesto

The Cheat Meal Manifesto by Shelby Starnes – 4/20/2011 If you told someone fifteen years ago that you were having a scheduled cheat meal, they would've given you an odd look and asked, "How in the world was that going to help you achieve your physique goals?" Fast-forward to today and we've got whole diet plans dedicated to the concept. But when should you use a cheat meal or re-feed? What are those exactly? And who shouldn't be using them? Let's discuss. Junk Food and Fat Loss. WTF. Pretty much anyone "in the know" now understands the reasons for the occasional cheat meal or re-feed. The cheating concept has grown over the last few years, and rightfully so. Proper cheats can: • Stave off potential catabolism from prolonged dieting • Refill glycogen stores to support hard training •...
