I love to work out, talk about working out, talk about what to eat to work out better and feel better, and I love to write! I hope that you enjoy your visit to my little corner of fitness and healthy blogging.

Awesome Feeling #394: Feeling the tightness of your muscles and remembering back to the
time when you didn't know what that was.
Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people – your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way. -Barbara Bush
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do. -Eleanor Roosevelt

Why is Tabata Training and Interval Training SO effective?
We've been fed the "aerobic" lie for over 30 years. Even doctors have been fooled by this pervasive myth.The truth is slow aerobic training is terribly inefficient when it comes to losing weight.It all has to do with a 4-letter acronym: EPOC. EPOC stands for Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption. It's a scientific way of describing the calories you burn after you are done exercising. With aerobic training, once you're done, you no longer burn calories. That's it. Done.
But with high intensity exercise (even as short as 4 minutes at a time) your body continues to burn calories for up to 2 days later. That's right - your body is still working hard burning that stubborn fat long after your workout is complete.
