NYC Marathon 🏅

morning!!
Last weekend was the #NYCMarathon 🏅 I was fortunate to be able to support some of my clients from the sidelines as they ran 26.2 miles around the five boroughs of New York.

Training for a marathon requires intense focus and dedication. These athletes were not only committed to their running but also to their recovery, strength training, and nutrition. A marathon is an incredible accomplishment and they should be proud.

I’m not a run coach and I don’t help people specifically with a marathon training plan, but I do help them with their nutritional needs as they increase their mileage. I also help people lose body fat which is an easier way to improve your pace. I did the weight training programming for several of these runners.

The atmosphere was electric in New York City and I was so excited for every single person who ran it 🎉

Steps with My Walking Buddy Pudding 🐻

Three things you need to know about steps:

1️⃣ It’s likely not cardio, but it is NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenics).

2️⃣ Even though it isn’t cardio, it still plays a major role in your metabolism. Anywhere from 15-50% of the calories you burn every day comes from NEAT.

3️⃣ For every 2000 steps you take daily, your risk of departing this planet prematurely drops significantly. So even though steps isn’t cardio they still help increase your lifespan.

Teabag your kettlebell‼️

Why on earth would I want you to teabag your kettlebell? Because you should be standing directly overtop of it. You want to think about this thing slicing you right in half. But even when I tell clients to stand right on top of it, they don’t grasp it until I tell them to teabag this MFer. So ladies and gentlemen, teabag your kettlebell.

You can also think about it as athletic stance. You want to feel the weight in your heels and a nice stretch in your hamstrings at the start point of your kettlebell deadlift.

Seed Oil: Majoring in the Minor

Why does Paul Saladino have his shirt off at the grocery store? It’s been the consensus of nutritionists for decades that most of what you eat should be coming from single-ingredient foods, so at least he and I can agree on that. You should be doing your best to avoid foods with nutrition labels on them for a plethora of reasons, probably the least of which is seed oil.

Americans are suffering from obesity at an astounding rate. This is because of our sedentary lifestyles and our massive portion sizes. I would absolutely agree that most of your food should be coming from protein and fruits, but where we disagree drastically is that plants are dangerous for human beings to consume. We are omnivores, our ancestors have been surviving primarily on a diet of vegetation for centuries. I mean how f***ing hard do you think it was to kill a woolly mammoth with a piece of rock attached to a stick to form a spear?

4️⃣ Lower Body Exercises to Look Better Naked

Vanity is important. 4 lower body exercises to look better naked:

1️⃣ Hip thruster: Who doesn’t want a bigger, rounder butt? A lot of glute emphasis without a lot of fatigue.

2️⃣ Reverse lunge: Offers both aesthetics and function. Moving well will help keep you looking good.

3️⃣ Barbell squat: The grandfather of all squats. This exercise allows both hip hinge and knee bend.

4️⃣ Deadlift: The king of all exercises. However it’s a double-edged sword 🗡️ due to so many muscles being involved.

Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away 🍎

America is not overweight because of fruit 🍎 An apple a day does in fact help keep the doctor away, because they are high in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. They also help facilitate good gut health. There is a difference between fructose and refined sugar.

This is amazing for breakfast or that afternoon snack. You can have it as you are walking out the door to work or on the way out of the office heading home.
