How to Fail at Fitness
In case you hadn’t noticed, I spend a lot of time trying to help people get healthy.
It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to lose some weight, build some muscle, or just feel better about yourself; if you are willing to put in the effort I am willing to put in the time to help you achieve your goals.
That being said, when I survey my social media networks I can quickly point out people who despite the best of intentions are setting themselves up for failure by falling victim to trends and fallacies.
It drives me into a gamma radiation induced rage (Hulk SMASH!!!) every time, but I usually manage to remember Law #7 of the Jerd Herd and keep my mouth shut. I figure if they want help they will come ask.
That isn’t going to stop me from passive aggressively addressing their nonsense here though!
Iron Rations: Mango Chia Seed Pudding
I realized the other day, that while we have tons of recipes available here on the site, we don’t have any healthy desserts!
So it’s time to fix that!
The problem with desserts is that we expect them to be super sweet, and as any loyal reader of this site knows, sugar is the enemy!
So what can we put in our face-holes that will satisfy the craving for a sugary treat, but won’t sabotage your diet?
The simple answer to that question – fruit.
Even though fruits have natural sugar, they also are packed with vitamins and fiber. That’s why they are a major part of our clean-eating plan!
Sometimes you might want to be fancier than just plain fruit though. Maybe you have a child you want to trick, maybe you’re having company and you don’t want to just throw and apple at their head after dinner, or maybe you just want to mix things up a little.
Whatever the case, this homemade “pudding” will hit the spot while giving you a nice dose of vitamin A, C and fiber!
Product Review: Nike+ Sportwatch GPS
I’ve been running with the Nike+ SportWatch GPS for the past six months, using it regularly during my runs.
While this product review is about the Nike+ SportWatch, there are takeaways to be had for any Jerd reader interested in GPS-enabled running watches.
So What Is It?
The SportWatch is a GPS-enabled device that tracks your distance and speed as you run!
It collects, and stores data, about your workout that you can later upload to the Nike+ website, where you can see the route you ran on a map, your pace, as well as elevation and calories burned.
We all know how much we geeks love data!
