The last couple of posts I did where about energy drinks. I have found a great blog that has been putting out Great Energy Drink Reviews. The only reason I reviewed any energy drinks was because on occassion I ran out of juice before a workout and I would have to stop at a GNC or gas station to get an energy drink. Well instead of me waisting my time reviewing all these energy drinks, I will

The vault energy drink from the Coca-Cola Company was the last energy drink I used before a workout. Let me tell you one thing about Vault Energy Drink, it is carbonated and it does not sit well before a workout. It is fine for a mid-day pick me up or coffee replacement but by all means avoid drinking Vault Energy Drink before you workout.Vault Energy Drink: Taste Well if Coca-Cola is trying

As I stated in my earlier postNOS Energy Drinks, I like to have energy to spare when I am working out. Normally I get this from a well planned meal about an hour to an hour and a half before I workout. If I don’t get that meal I like to have an energy drink instead. So to get that quick burst of energy before my workout I ventured to the local vitamin store. There was quite a large selection

Have you ever thought to your self: Why should you I eat even more meals than I am eating now? Why would a five or six small meals a day diet work? Most people think that eating less often will bring the results that they are looking for. In fact you might actually be gaining weight and losing muscle if you are either starving yourself or are only eating two or three large meals a day. By

Yesterday I blogged about Cardio Health Benefits; well today I figured I would pit two staples of the cardio world against each other. Treadmills vs Elipticals, which one is better for you? Treadmills vs Elipticals can be a simple preference. However, when broken down treadmills vs elipticals can become quite a heated argument. Both machines will help you to burn fat and lose weight but

Well it turns out every once in a while you need a little boost before a workout. I know everyone can relate. After a long day of work who wants to go workout with no energy? Well if you don’t have enough energy from your previous meal there is always the energy drink option which is why I decided to write this NOS energy drink review.

Turns out some people do actually read my blog posts! Yesterday I gave a summation about Eating Healthy on Vacation. I had used some of the previous blog posts to help me get through a golf vacation without gaining back all the hard earned lost weight I managed to lose. Today I will tell you how I managed to get in quick 20-30 minute daily exercises without going to the gym while on vacation.

Well I just took a golf trip to South Carolina with three friends. Needless to say, my lifestyle of eating healthy on vacation was not viewed the same by my friends. Instead of forcing my friends to follow my guidelines of eating healthy, I adjusted my eating habits to where they wanted to go out to eat. Eating healthy on vacation was a challenge, but I did manage with a little help from previous
