A Good Shoulder Workout
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
Do me a favor, stand up, arms at your side. Now lift your arms forward until they point straight out in front of you. Got it? Good, now put your arms back at your side. Again, lift your arms but this time straight out to the sides, not to the [...]
Kashi Post Update
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
On Monday I wrote a post about Kashi and similar health bars. The main point of this post was to tell readers that these “health” bars are NOT healthy. They are not a healthy snack alternative, nor are they a good way to maintain a healthy diet. I stand by [...]

Submitted by Unity Home Fitness Blog
Are you interested in discovering how your body can “forget” that you are thirsty and “think” that you are hungry, if you don’t drink enough water?

Is Kashi Healthy?
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
Ahh, those wonderful Kashi commercials. Someone is hiking through a pristine wilderness. In the background they talk about how much they value health and fitness. Soft music is playing and then we cut over to show the wonderful manufacturers of Kashi bars dive into a waterfall, ski down a slope [...]

Boxing Workout
Submitted by 60 IN 3 Blog
As owner and author of 60 in 3, I tend to get various offers for free stuff. Most of the time they’re for things I’m not interested in. Things like diet pills, weird workout gadgets, energy bars and so on. On rare occasions though, someone comes through with an offer [...]
Intermittent Fasting Issues

Review: Amy Dixon’s Kickin’ Strength
Submitted by Advanced Workouts Blog
Vidiot that I am, I popped in this DVD as soon as it arrived. I just couldn’t help it. Addiction? Some would say so. But at least it’s an addiction to something healthy. I simply can’t stand it when I have a new DVD sitting on the shelf, and it hasn’t [...]
What’s A Good Workout?

It seems easy enough but keep in mind that you are supposed to do it 4 times! Eeeek!
If that seems way over the top to you - then just do the workout twice and cut out 250 calories out of your food for [...]

Runner’s High

There are a lot of bad things I could say about running, it’s bad for your knees, bad for your feet, it’s boring at times, it’s too strenous at other times. However, I will say this for running, it’s incredible for relieving stress. There’s something called a “runner’s high” which [...]
