Weekend Roundup - Catalina Island Edition

Filed Under Weekend Roundup 

This somewhat late post comes to you courtesy of Catalina Island, where my wife and I spent the last three days. A bit cold but still fun. I was even convinced to get on stage at a karaoke bar and sing Warrant’s Cherry Pie. I think that means I had a great vacation. :)

And what that interesting visual, here are some articles I thought you might find useful.

This first article is from Inc.com. You wouldn’t expect a good article about fitness from a magazine about making money, but I found this one fascinating. Take a look at Mel Zuckerman’s story. Pay close attention to the “a-ha” moment he describes for himself and for his father. We all have these “ah-ha” moment sometimes, just make sure yours isn’t too late.

From ICWales we have this article on sobering revelations about women and dieting. Some of these are a little scary. “More than half (53%) of those questioned said a diet to them meant eating less than 1,000 calories a day and a fifth (20%) said it was eating less than 800 calories a day”. This is just crazy and it’s not even the worst one on this list. If you know anyone who’s following some of the destructive items in this list, please do something to help. Don’t tell them that they’re wrong, you won’t get any results that way, just suggest that there’s a better way and try to help.

From FitSugar we have this article about quick bursts of exercise and are they as good as prolonged workouts. The answer seems to be, not quite as good but still far better than nothing. So if you don’t have time for that hour long workout today, why not do a few 5 minute workouts? It’s better than not doing anything at all.

And I’m not a big fan of CNN, but to give them their due, this is a pretty decent list of eating tips right here. Nothing too new, but nice to see them all grouped up on one page.
