This is a legitimate question I feel like many ask: should I have a scale in the house? This question is a little more complex than it may seem on the outside. It may seem like just a yes or no answer, but there are a lot of intricacies laid beneath. It’s absolutely not just physical–it’s very mental too. It affects your physical goals as well as well as your mental attitude.
This weekend included good workouts
Goals are supremely important when it comes to fitness. Unfortunately, Hungry and I aren’t always great at having them. However, this summer (a little late), I’ve decided to change that! And by summer, I mean until late September. Goals help you fight harder toward something and give you purpose as you are working out. Goals can have a HUGE range: someone can have a goal of lowering their body fat percentage while another want to increase their splits by another inch. It can really be anything fitness, sport or health related. Just set something.
Bad wrists are a common injury or hurt in today’s society. In fact, both Hungry and I feel ours all the time, unfortunately. However, even though we are hurting, we still want to workout! We still want to hit the weights or the push ups! This video explains if it is okay or not to workout with bad wrists.
These days the word “macros” gets thrown around all the time–heck, we say it tons. But sometimes we take things for granted–for example, in a very real world, many people don’t know what “macros” are. You might know that it has something to do with nutrition, eating, or something of the nature–basically what fitness people like to talk about. In this video, Hungry explains what “macros” are in a great definition and gives some context to the word.
3-day weekend!
We’ve had a lot of fun the past few weeks–but a lot of our pictures are from the annual Field Day camping trip! Enjoy!
Cool new lamps
You might not be a numbers person and you might have failed college math. Well, don’t stress yourself out any more by dealing with this number, BMI. I know… those are three letters but they represent a number that means… nothing to you! Your body mass index is supposed to give you an idea of what physical condition you are in, but it might not always be the most accurate for every individual. In this video, Hungry tells you why other numbers, including measurements and body fat percentage, will provide you with a much better idea about your overall health.
THIS guy’s BMI says he’s obese…there’s something wrong with that
All you need for this workout is something to hit, whether it’s a punching bag or a friend with a pillow. Check out this video for a new free circuit training workout that targets many primary muscle groups and can really challenge you to use your body weight to increase your strength and conditioning. Hungry used his background in martial arts and contact sports to create this specific workout. He also uses his lack of background in style to look so cool while doing it.
