Yahoo Article on “Healthy Foods” – a sign of a step in the right direction?
Posted on | February 11, 2009 | 1 Comment
So it seems a lot of the more “mainstream” Internet health and fitness circles have been discussing a recentYahoo article called “The 20 worst healthy foods in the supermarket. A friend of mine sent it to me, and I grudgingly read it. To be honest, I expected to roll my eyes at it, and feel I’d completely wasted the time I spent on it. I was pleasantly surprised.

I really don’t get why woman want to look like they’re starving though. I’d also argue that this isn’t a matter of “to each their own” since attempting to attain the look of the women above is unhealthy and destructive by contrast most of features we have evolved to find attractive are markers of health and fertility.

Women and not lifting heavy, when will the myths FINALLY die?

OK, this one is nothing terribly new, but some of the places I’m still bumping into it are driving my crazy. Where does this nonsense where women are afraid they’ll look like a female contest bodybuilder come from? Seriously. I’m tired of it.
I’m increasingly seeing fitness blogs and articles around the internet extolling the virtues of women lifting. This is good, really good. I’m really glad to see this step in the right direction. But all too often those same pieces feature pictures of some curl curling ten pounds. So, just this once, I’m going to stop being critical and try to produce something helpful.

My initial rather callous response was “If it makes you uncomfortable, get over it, you’re there to workout. You will sweat, you will get dirty, it will hurt, it won’t be pretty.” Now, almost as soon as I wrote this, I realized what a cheesy affected macho sentiment it sounded like.

I just finished up a Yoga class I was taking through college and my instructor there is a complete moron. Okay, maybe not complete but she tries to force information into her student’s heads that is unreliable, out dated or just plain wrong. Each class she gives out a handout at the beginning of class [...]

A friend of mine’s family member recently sent an email cut and paste of CBS News piece. It’s been quoted in several of the popular online new sites besides CBS and links to a WebMB article on “10 Diet Myths”.
Now, some of the advice here isn’t bad. A lot of what is given is even what is supported by studies….

A girl, lifting at the gym, or not.

So then I ask myself- Does she really believe she is working out? Or is she just there to look like she’s working out? I mean, they both come to the gym face painted and hair done but I still gave them both the benefit of the doubt. I am just completely amazed….

My girlfriend is recovering from an injury, and is about six weeks into a basic liner progression barbell strength program. She hit 135lbs for 3 sets of 5 on her back squats for the first time yesterday, and was pretty pumped about it (she weighs about 125). As she was taking the bar out of [...]
