Fit Bits:“Fit bits” are pieces of information pertaining to the fitness industry which I have found to be interesting, humorous or just plain ridiculous.I absolutely love to read about people who are in their 60’s, 70’s and up who still lift weights. It just goes to show that age is just a number. Personally I plan on lifting weights right up until I leave this earth, and I hope that’s in at least another 60 years. 72 Years Young Fred Glass is 72 years old, stands 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs only 151 pounds. But he routinely hoists barbells twice as heavy -- 300 pounds, or, on a good day, 400 pounds or more -- into the air. Click here to watch the video and read the article. Nutrition Tip: The 10% Factor If some people eat one food not on their plan, their failure to be perfect sets in motion a psychological chain of events that leads to frustration and the inability to get right back on the plan. The all-or-nothing mentality sets in and BAM, they're back to nothing. But it doesn't have to be this way. 100% nutritional discipline is never required for optimal progress. The difference, in results, between 90% adherence to your nutrition program and 100% adherence is negligible. So allow yourself the extra 10% wiggle room. This will allow you the freedom to eat a few extra things not on your menu without the guilt and subsequent crash. Courtesy of Dr John Berardi Training Tip:
Lengthen Your Lunge
If you want to increase the activation of your glutes and hamstrings in the lunge take longer steps. The shorter the step, the greater the quad activation.
