Bodylastics Bands Review

I’ve had my Bodylastic resistance bands for quite awhile now. The resistance bands come in different sets. There is a basic, max tension and max tension XT set along with a couple of Strongman sets, MMA and a superhuman strength set.

I have the Bodylastics Max Tension set that comes with 5 resistance bands (yellow, green, red, blue,black), 2 heavy duty handles, ankle straps, an over the door anchor, a travel/storage bag, and an instruction manual full of exercises that can be done. My manual is printed, but it looks like the newer versions come with a DVD based manual.

WOD: Weekly Log 2-17-2013

Started a new experiment on pull-ups and dips. Going to use resistance bands in order to perform them as assisted exercises. I want to see if my strength increases on these exercises steadily this way.

While I can already do pull-ups and dips unassisted. I never really felt that they were “easy”. I also wasn’t increasing in numbers by doing those low reps for sets. I’ll be using my next couple of workouts in order to find the correct band and weight configuration.

Pre-Cook Potatoes Using A Microwave

bacon and eggs

Pre-cooked potatoes makes cooking meals easier and faster. It helps to have certain foods already cut up and prepared. That way you don’t need to do it on the spot. Let’s take potatoes for example. I know on most days I’m not in the mood to cut up a potato, when what I want to do is eat it now.

I find if I do it when I have some free time, I get it done and then just have to heat it up a little. I use potatoes in chicken soup and I like to eat them with scrambled eggs, sausauges or bacon.

I’m Too Tired To Workout, Should I Do It Anyway?

I don’t get it. You know, people who say they’re so exhausted and then try to gather up the energy to run 5 miles. Look, in my opinion if you feel tired there’s a reason. You might have worked out too hard and your body is still recovering from the workout. Did you shovel a bunch of snow? Did you not sleep well?

If you feel tired and fatigued, the body still needs to recuperate. Sure you can do a light and quick workout, just to get something in, but running for miles or lifting as heavy as you can will just dig your recovery into a deeper hole. Take an extra day off and see how you feel tomorrow.

Then, and only then, if you feel strong and ready to go should you workout. Working out while fatigued is just asking for trouble. Not just injury, but it could also lead to overeating.

 

I want to workout and get in shape, but I just can’t find the time.

Maybe you want to workout to get in shape, lose weight, gain endurance or get stronger. But when you try to, you just can’t stick with it or you just can’t find the time.

Think you don’t have time to workout? I say you do. If your life is too busy to fit in 30 minutes to an hour of exercise, like the world tells us to, then don’t. Instead do small 1 minute workouts spread out throughout the day. If you do an intense exercise, you may find that 1 minute is all you need.
