Hot To Squat: Boo, Hiss: McBusted
So, McDonald’s has a Director of Nutrition. I wish I could say this were an April Fools’ joke (it isn’t). McDonald’s has just recently insulted the intelligence of consumers everywhere by introducing its new menu offerings as healthy, nutritious, and “part of the fast food chain’s endeavor to achieve variety and balance”. Don’t worry, you...
Hot To Squat: The Hills Are Alive
Denver, don’t pack up those boots and gloves just yet. Sure, Spring appears forthcoming: sundresses hit the racks, flip-flops are aplenty, and those malicious jelly beans are taunting us from every store shelf. Before you retire that North Face down coat for the season, remember- it’s not too late to hit the slopes. And it’s...
Extra Time: Qi Nutritional Transformation Program by James Morse
It was 2008 and James Morse refused to eat a dish without first adding hot sauce and cheese–gobs of it. Before he knew it everything he was shoveling into his face tasted the same, consequently making the contents shoveled down irrelevant. Totinos pizza? Better make it two. Chimichanga? He’ll take three. Name a greasy dish...
Figuring Out Fit: Show Me What You Workin’ With
You’re stoked. You finally get a day off and want to put in a long gym session to make up for the last few days you were stuck late at work. Only problem is there’s a blizzard outside with a foot of snow already on the ground, so it looks like you’re staying put. Before...
Hot To Squat: Say What?
As motivating as that cranked-up bassy dubstep (or metal, or hip-hop) might be for your workout, do you have any idea what it’s slowly doing to your very ability to hear anything at all? We all love our music; in fact, studies regularly show that, especially when exercising, music inspires us to work harder and...
Figuring Out Fit: Girls Rule But Boys Lose
If you’re still trying to figure out how to stay healthy and active, then you know that any self-esteem boost you can get helps. Recently I was talking with a male friend who has similar health and fitness goals as I do and I suggested that we should challenge each other to maintain a healthy...
Hot To Squat: It’s On: Three Minute Challenge
Fitness challenges have most definitely evolved over the years: cycling over mountain passes, stair climbs, Iron Man, Muddy Buddy, Rugged Maniac, triathlons, marathons, half-marathons. In Colorado, we have our veritable pick of extreme sporting events to measure our mortal potentials. Prompted by the word “race”, it seems we Coloradans will sign up for just about anything we can sink our...
Extra Time: Tour de Compassion (Stage 1)
(In case you missed the start of the journey, catch up HERE) By now the much needed pit stop on the outskirts of Santa Fe was a distant memory: The bland billboard reading “Annapurna” “Healing food” with a street name as the only directions flashed in his head. In New Mexico it got him and...
Figuring Out Fit: Okay, Everybody Just Calm Down
I’m stressed out, you guys. I didn’t fully recognize how stressed out I was (and maybe a little depressed — thanks a lot, winter months) until I was in my car and a song by The Smiths came on and I was like “oh hell yeah, Morrissey, I totally connect to what you’re saying, you...
