Get rid of that sugar rush

By Jonas Forsberg August 28, 2008: (0)

Have you ever felt that “so-hard-to-resist” sugar rush?

Maybe you are in your car from work and either have had a,

  • Bad day where nothing worked or,
  • A great day where you made a huge amount of sales

Whether your answer is option 1 or 2, or something somewhere in between, that sugar rush can still be present.

That is simply because we tend to eat sugar (I’ll use chocolate as an example) as for comfort (bad day) or as a reward (great day).

Well, now you probably recognize what I am saying and your first question is: How do I get rid of that sugar rush?

3 lessons from The Olympics

By Jonas Forsberg August 23, 2008: (0)

If you are just like me then you have probably been in front of the television more than usual because of the Olympics. I don’t know about you, but I have been watching all different types of sports, such as, swimming, track & field, gymnastics, and of course a lot of soccer.

The Olympics is coming to an end and there are a few things we should take notice from! I found especially 3 lessons from the athletes, which could (and should) be implemented into YOUR lifestyle if your goal is either to burn fat, build muscles or just getting an overall healthy and functional body.

1. Gymnasts
A few days ago I was sitting watching the finals for men in parallell bars. I noticed a few stuff I just have to tell you about. First and foremost, their overall physique is insane! Their arms are incredibly powerful and well-defined. So the question is, how do they train to get those arms? What do you think, maybe some bicep curls or some tricep extensions? Of course not, their training consists mainly (and almost exclusively) of bodyweight exercises. They to strap pushups and pullups, they do bar dips, and so on. My advice for you is to go for exercises such as pullups, chinups, dips and pushups if you want to build powerful arms and an overall impressive physique! Read more…

The unbeatable

By Jonas Forsberg August 21, 2008: (0)

The Olympics is coming to an end and I would like to discuss one thing that came to mind when watching a summary the other day.

Before the Olympics started, we had especially one race where people liked to bet and discuss the winner – 100 m-dash for men. Would Asafa Powell step up and show his speed during a BIG event against his biggest rivals or would Usain Bolt show the world he was the number one? Some people also put out a warning for Tyson Gay. The end result? Usain Bolt kicked ass! The world was shocked that he sat the World Record with a untied shoe and a “showing off” gesture in the end. A few days later, it was time for the unbeatable record, probably THE MOST perfect record ever – Michael Johnson’s World Record on 200 m from Olympics in Atlanta 1996.
