&#160;
There are two schools of thought when it comes to abdominal training.&#160;Some believe that it is ok to train the abdominal muscles (abs) daily, especially if the workout is light, while others recommend training them every other day. I recommend training the abs thoroughly and intensely but allow a 24-hour recovery period between training days.&#160;Like [...]]]></description>

I&#39;ve given a considerable amount of thought to what I will eat over the course of this day as I intend to forgo meat for the entire day.&#160; Breakfast was easy: Noni juice and a tall glass of water first thing; several organic egg whites with 1 yolk, a steamed Braeburn apple sprinkled with cinnamon [...]]]></description>

In honor of Meatless Mondays, this is the first of an ongoing series of posts to celebrate and promote the Meatless Monday movement.&#160; Experts believe that a 15% reduction in meat consumption will have a significant impact on the planet as well as our health.&#160; I was raised on and love meat but the thought [...]]]></description>

Bootcamps are all the rage these days and with good reason.&#160; They&#39;re awesome at blasting fat while building strength and cardiovascular endurance.&#160; Typically, the bootcamp workout consists of calisthenics and various exercises or activities that tax multiple muscle groups at the same time.&#160; Most bootcamps utilize the environment- as in outdoor bootcamps- and require little [...]]]></description>

This is such a popular question- second only to the more general question, &#8220;Well, what do you eat as a trainer?&#8221; &#8211; that I&#8217;ve decided to post about it.

	
The breakfast meal is my favorite meal of the day.&#160; Ironically, I tend to eat &#8220;dinner&#8221; foods for breakfast and &#8220;breakfast&#8221; foods for dinner.&#160; &#160;When eating my [...]]]></description>

Most people are overweight or obese because they eat too much of the wrong foods and don&#39;t exercise enough.&#160; When I think about typical, mainstream American fare, pizza, burger, French fries, hot dogs, beer and soda come to mind.&#160; Notice I said &#34;mainstream.&#34;&#160; When I think of the eating habits of African Americans, two things [...]]]></description>
