Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
I wanted to write yet another post about motivation today and how it’s important for everyone. And yes, there’s a reason I write so much about motivation, because it’s the cornerstone of fitness and health. We all know what we need to do in order to be fit and healthy, [...]

The Trouble With Orange Juice
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
Ahh orange juice, the healthy part of many a breakfast, right? I mean come on, we’ve all seen the commercials. Orange juice comes from Florida where the sun is always shining. It’s full of healthy vitamin C to help you fight colds and it should be consumed every morning to [...]
Workout Entertainment
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
Ahh, the iPod. In the few years it’s been available, this little device has become the loyal companion of many a workout. Runners on the street, bikers on the road and weight lifters in the gym all have ear phones in and iPods (or other MP3 players) playing. It’s gotten [...]
Weekend Roundup - Muddy Edition
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
It’s winter here in California, which means it’s 55 degrees outside and sunny. It’s also a bit muddy, which means my house is now covered in muddy puppy paw prints. It’s a good thing she’s cute, or else I would make her clean all this up herself!
And with that, [...]
Five Things To Do This Weekend
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
Ahh yes, every fitness site does this. They all give you these lists of things to do on the weekend. Things like rock climbing, salsa dancing and competitive caber tossing. And there you are sitting in your chair, reading the article and going “are you serious?” You’re not looking for [...]

Beachbody Products
Submitted by Advanced Workouts Blog
After much thought and consideration, I’ve decided to become a Beachbody Coach.
Beachbody products, such as ChaLEAN Extreme, P90X, and Turbo Jam, are intense, fun, and HIGHLY effective. I’ve been nothing but impressed with the results that come from such incredibly fun and easy-to-do workouts. (Easy as in there’s no dread factor, [...]
Negative Motivation
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
I’m stupid, I’m fat, I’m weak, I’m no good. How many times have you told yourself this? How many times have you felt guilty after eating too much and yelled at yourself, “you’re so weak, you have no will power”? How many times have you told your friends, “you’re fat, [...]
What Is A Grad?
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
I keep seeing articles about health and fitness and for some reason, many of them strike me as being slightly off. There’s something just a little wrong with them or something that doesn’t quite seem right. The odd thing is that these are articles which, three or four years ago, [...]
Weekend Roundup: Back On Track Edition
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
It’s been a rough few months here at 60 in 3 headquarters, mostly because of personal reason. I want to thank all of you for bearing with me. Some of my posts have been a bit personal and a few have been not quite fitness related, but that’s the way [...]

Submitted by Unity Home Fitness Blog
I got a Kettlebell as a Christmas gift. (Yes, it was on my wish list.) And I absolutely LOVE it!

Well, I am really big on efficiency. I don’t have a lot of spare time in my life, yet [...]

Are You a New Year’s Resolution Maker or Hater?
Submitted by Unity Home Fitness Blog
I personally like to “map out goals” vs. “make resolutions”. The difference is that by mapping out goals, I will review them quarterly to see if I’m on track. There is also an internal difference and I’m not just focused on one thing (like losing weight or getting in shape). [...]
