Every weekend I publish a recap of the best health and fitness articles I’ve read over the past week. Here are my favorites.
30 Days, 900 Very Ripe Bananas
This is one of the craziest diets I’ve ever heard of, but it sounds very tempting to try out. I think I could eat 27 bananas a day and not get tired of them. I might give this one a shot.
How to Get a Complete Workout with Nothing But Your Body
This is a great, thorough article on using only your body weight to get in shape. I also like the recommendations about how to determine pushup sets. Do as many as you possibly can, until failure, than 1/2 that number and do 3 sets of that many reps. Sounds like a great workout.
Exercise Like a Convict for an Equipment-Free Workout
If you’re ever trapped in a tiny room and you absolutely need to squeeze in a workout, you should check out all the videos from the ConvictConditioning Youtube account.
This is a sign that veganism is finally going mainstream. I don’t usually buy anything from 7-11 mostly because they’re so expensive, but it’s exciting to know that these options are becoming available.
The Kitchen Scale – A Tool Whose Time Has Come
This article has completely opened my eyes to how to use a digital kitchen scale for preparing foods. I use my scale all the time, but only for measuring portions of already prepared meals. I HATE trying to get stuff like molasses out of a tablespoon. Instead I’ll just use the scale and pour directly into the bowl!
Cook Corn for a Crowd in a Cooler
Damn, this is a great idea! I want to try this one right away. We’ve been getting a lot of rain lately, but if the weather is nice this weekend, maybe I’ll throw a BBQ, with the main course being corn. 😉
