Lecture From The Leader In The Paleo Diet

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10TH, 2010

Here's a video clip of Professor Loren Cordain, PhD, author of The Paleo Diet and website http://www.thepaleodiet.com/.

This clip is part 7 of 7 and I believe it to be the one with the most inormation applicable in your life. I actually find the other 6 even more interesting but I like to geek out on the why behind the what. If you find part 7 interesting watch one, or two, or all of the other parts (each roughly 10mins.) and learn why the Paleo Diet promotes what it does.

Here are a few practical tips to enhance our ability to access our intuition.

You Make Coach Proud

Yesterday proved to be a great strength workout across the board. I believe everyone PR'd in at least one lift and some decided to break a few gym records along the way! I was extremely happy with the way everyone lifted this Tuesday.

Lucy currently boasts a gym best Overhead Squat, Push Press, and Front Squat. In addition to all of this she also PR'd in her power clean. That's one heck of a day's work (Overhead Squat was last week).

Aaron's bench press is looking solid and his squats as well as his cleans are now lookin' very legit.

Phil PR'd in his Squat (though this is not a picture of his PR effort)

And Cameron (not pictured...sorry Bro) PR'd in his clean.

Also, make sure and help me welcome back Molly who recently signed to UNLV for softball on a full-ride scholarship after being forced to sit out her first two years of high school softball due to injury! Molly came to Performance Quest Athletics to prepare herself for competition after a couple years off and this past year Molly absolutely crushed her opponents on the diamond!

And, last but not least, also please help me in welcoming Joe. Joe comes to Performance Quest understanding the demands that the Fire Academy will place upon him in the upcoming months and is with us to prepare for anything and everything. On his inaugural day, Joe put up some impressive numbers that are sure to skyrocket in the coming workouts.

Achy Legs Can Be Fatal

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2ND, 2010

6:30pm

NOTE: There will be no class this Friday.

Wait! You mean those horrendous workouts where I can barely walk out of the gym and it takes everything I have to move my foot from the gas pedal to the brake pedal can actually kill me? Well, if it's that difficult to get you foot to the brakes then yeah! Maybe they can. But that's not what I'm talkin' 'bout here.

I have a number of exciting articles I happened across the other day that I was really looking forward to sharing with you today. However, I came across another one last night that addresses an issue that I've been hearing about A LOT lately. Several weeks ago my favorite nursing student (you know...the one at Long Beach State) was grilling me on my general knowledge of stuff she'd learned and asked me if I could tell her how Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) caused someone to die of a heart attack. I replied, "I've actually never heard of it". According to the following article this is common. Following this recent exchange with said nursing student I've subsequently heard of several cases of people with symptoms of achey legs being rushed into the emergency room for open heart surgery. And all of the cases I've heard about have come from my family members who knew the person or worked with the person's wife/husband. So, I figured that if I have heard about PAD this frequently over the past couple of weeks maybe it is something to look into. Well I did and the numbers are staggering! Large enough that I'd have pretty good odds if I bet that this disease will affect you in some capacity or another.

Well, if something life-threatening was coming after me or someone I knew and I had a chance to read up on it you can bet that I'd jump at the opportunity. I'm assuming you will to. So, here ye be.
