We all have our temples. Places we go to find peace, to clear our minds, to revitalize our insides. For some, the bedroom is a sanctuary from the stresses of life. For others, it may be the library, a park, the kitchen, bathtub, and so on. For me, it’s the gym. I know it’s an […] Read more…

Something for everyone
Boot camp was a lot of fun this weekend. Two new recruits came out. And so did a regular…who brought this Coke along with him. Tsk, tsk! But at least he showed up. I wanted to share the workout we did, in the hopes that some of you out there might be willing to try […] Read more…
Feeling tough?
Then try this move out the next time you’re at the gym: It’s some kind of burpee-chinup hybrid dealie. Sure gets the job done! Wish I could have gotten better footage of it, but my camera died right when I turned it on, so we had to resort to using my phone. Anyway, have a […] Read more…
My review of Jamie Eason’s Livefit program
A few months ago I mentioned that I was changing my workout routine. It’s usually good to switch things up, and I definitely learned a few things from it. At the time of the switch I was working out 4x a week doing an upper and lower body split. Cardio was usually Bodyrock or something […] Read more…
No Delhi belly with this light Indian coconut curry recipe!
The first time I ever had Indian food was actually only about two years ago. I came across a recipe for Indian chicken coconut curry and made it myself. I had a feeling I was missing out, but damn. It was love at first taste. Before this I’d actually never had curry before, with the […] Read more…
The WTF Workout
So apparently I have relatives that read my blog. And according to my father they have an issue with me cursing. Whatever. I don’t think I even curse that much. I’ve even tried to curtail it these past few posts…to be nice, or something. However I am not a fan of censorship. It was relayed […] Read more…
My issue with the inherently narcissistic nature of blogging.
Today in the shower, while I scrubbed the dead skin off my feet with a pumice, I started thinking about how pointless it all feels sometimes. Not life. Blogging. You see, I have an issue with the inherently narcissistic nature of it. How egotistical and pretentious is it for me to assume that anyone cares […] Read more…
Fit Geek’s First “Boot Camp”
I used to enjoy sleeping in on Saturday mornings. But yesterday I got up even earlier than I do on work days to abuse a few friends. Nothing like a little sadism to start your weekend. I met up with my friends Joe (wrecktify) and Chris to do a workout in Indian Hammocks park. Specifically […] Read more…
Split Decision: How to pick the best workout split for your goals
My ass hurts. A lot. And it hurts from doing “fun stuff.” To me, that means working out really hard. I don’t know WTF it means to you, perv. I love being sore from a good workout, but it’s something that so rarely happens. I’m used to working out so it takes a lot to […] Read more…
A Beginner’s Home Workout
“I don’t like going to the gym.” I hear that ALL the time. Fortunately, you don’t need a gym to workout. The following routine is a good starting point for beginners interested in strength training. It’s easy and straight forward. There are only five exercises (so lazy people have no excuse!) but together they still […] Read more…
