Weight loss in the winter – Do a little service
Moving snow the old fashioned way is a great exercise. Minute for minute it is one of the best winter exercises you can do – and it can be a great service as well.
On average here are the calories burned per minute shoveling snow. These are just averages that I could find on the net.

Mr incredible.
I so relate to Bob Incredible! I remember back in the good old days when I used to take on the evil forces in the universe and stop their sinister plans to take over the earth. Those were the days. /sigh.
I guess I’ll just have to move on:)
I can relate to Bob and his [...]
What’s Your Gene Pool Like? A really strong fat man
I just found a neat tool online that will tell you on average, how long your family lives. Based on genealogical archives the database automatically calculates the average life expectancy of your family compared to all others and then graphs it over a 30 year time frame.
Over the last 30 years my family has about [...]
Interupted Progress – but getting back on track
The last two weeks have been something else. I’ve barely been able to get a few miles in a week and that is way down from my regular goals. Basically my workour progress has just been a joke the last 2 weeks.
Now, I’m quite please with my diet all things considered. I have continued [...]
feedback loops
I’ve been thinking about feedback loops. I know, its kind of a random topic, but hear me out. I think that it is very important. In our body we have neurological feedback loops. If you touch a hot stove – you do not think, ‘wow, that was hot, I should remove my hand now.’ Before [...]

Weight Loss In The Winter Time: The first week of snow
Weight loss in the winter time is always difficult to manage. But this winter I not going to put on any weight. In face to make this weight loss regime the hardest I possible could I managed to “schedule” my last 30 pounds to lose right during the holiday season.
Maybe not the best plan in [...]
Accentuate the Negative – This is not really what you are thinking:)
The negatives are the resistance side of the weight lifting. So you have the contraction where the muscle pulls the weight up, or pushes it away. Then as gravity then does it magic – you resist it.
Now we always have to do this part. If we did not resist the weight to barbell would come [...]
Where has all the weight lost gone? Start singing that to “I need a heroâ€
Where has all the weight lost gone? Start singing that to “I need a heroâ€
In some of my posts I have mentioned not only that I am losing weight, but that I cannot account for where it is all going. I can only see the evidence that what I am doing is not losing helping [...]
My kids are dumbells – in the most literal sense in this case.
I’m a big fan of fun. So are my kids. And they like to play with me while I workout. So we have started doing push-ups and sit-ups together now.
Personally I get bored doing high repetitions so adding a little weight is nice. I get a better workout. Shorter. And we can do it together [...]
