Sexy Strong vs. Fat Strong

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Matt Posted in Uncategorized Leave a comment

So which are you.... Sexy strong or fat strong...?

I think it’s safe to say most of us would agree being “strong” is a good thing. Being strong, physically or emotionally, is generally a desirable trait. It makes sense then, that when most of us train, we’re training to increase our strength. For most people, they associate training to be strong with resistance training (i.e. lifting weights). However, being “strong” extends beyond the power of our muscles. Perhaps not as obvious, but we also train to become stronger when we perform

The Slim and Sexy Arms Workout

The weather is heating up, which means, like it or not, you’re probably going to have to start showing a bit more skin. After all, it’s tough to hide yourself behind a bulky sweater and fleece when its 80 degrees outside. I suppose you could, but then you’d just look like a weirdo. So in the effort of not being a sweaty weirdo, we’re going to take be creating a serious of posts over the next few weeks that aim

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Dr. P.K. Newby Posted in Healthy Eating, Nutrition, Recipes Leave a comment

If you’ve caught some of my recent posts here at Share It Fitness, you know that I’m running the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 15. It’s four days left ’til the big day, and I’m just $913 away from my “$10K by Race Day” fundraising goal to fight cancer. (More here.) Perhaps not surprisingly, my last few articles have focused on foods with the athlete in mind, specifically on carbohydrate-rich favorites like oatmeal, pasta and granola. As my training comes to

As if that’s not enough, if you’re working out to build muscle, it becomes even more of a challenge because your lunch NEEDS to supply a healthy dose of protein so those hard-earned muscles don’t waste away. You need something easy, something you can prepare in mass quantities ahead

The Paleo Diet for Dummies

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Matt Posted in Healthy Eating, Nutrition 5 Comments

Are paleo dieters just another crazy cult or are there some real merits behind what they preach?

Like death and taxes, there is one other certainty in this world we’re living in; the unending flow of trendy diets that promise to trump all others and finally, deliver the results you’ve been waiting for your entire life…blah…blah…blah…… …we’ve heard it all before. The low-carb craze ushered in by the Atkins diet. The South Beach Diet. The 17 Day Diet. They all promised to help you lose weight, improve your health, and show you the light you’ve apparently been
