I think you should look into PT (physical therapy) first and then try Crossfit. You never mentioned one time going to PT. Quite frankly, there are things that PT know that docs don't. There are many exercises, both with the hand and stretches, that can quickly make carpal tunnel better. I had it pretty bad for a while and…

Did an easy to moderately easy 50 minutes and some plank work for the core.

That's good to know. I usually don't get the flu shot. Not that I don't believe in it, but I'm normally too lazy to do it. This year I plan on it. Found this today. Looks like a nice summary to me. For those that get freaked out by Formaldehyde, your body produces something very similar to it when you drink alcohol and has…

I don't usually get the flu shot but plan on doing it this year. The only concern I've got with them doing the flu shot early is that normally means they won't be as accurate on which strain is hitting us that year. But they do say it's better to get one even if it's the wrong strain and, I believe, that's likely even more…

When I lost most of my weight from tracking years ago (I lost like 30 through exercise over two years but didn't track and then lost 50 more after tracking), a lot of my family was like, "how did you do that???". When I said just by tracking and moving more, it was like "nah, won't work for me. No way!". Alrighty then.…

I just want her to be as healthy as she can be and weight is just a part of that equation. I had to sit her down this year and actually ask her to not workout so much! She had Fibromyalgia so bad around 6 years ago she literally couldn't do anything. We changed all of our eating habits and found Holistic/Integrative Health…

40 minutes lighter work today. Back still a bit sore. Going to the chiropractor today. Performance isn't my main focus right now, it's more just keeping the weight off and staying healthy. Had a terrible reminder of that today. One of my childhood friends and a guy I played football with (as well as got back in touch with…

That's an awesome achievement. Most of us started with doing the same thing. I know I did. I began just literally walking a few hundred yards. My fitness happened over 10 years. 20 days in a row is fantastic. And the fact that you've gradually moved the distance up is also great. Don't be afraid to take an off day, though,…

16 short hard intervals. HRM is broken. I have a backup but I hate change. But I can't stand when I do a hard workout and there's no record of it either. I'm a data junkie when I workout. I did 1 minute slow, 1 intermediate and one all out -- half on the LateralX and half on the AD Pro (Assault Bike). The HRM was showing…

This is a very controversial doc that I follow, but he has some valid points. Not enough talk about sleep and computer screens related to hormones is going on. Getting on a good sleep schedule and limiting screen time at night (or using blue blocking glasses or a blueblocking app -- there are tons of them -- I even have…

I find Examine woefully behind the research at times. For instance, Astaxanthin had nearly 400 studies on it before Examine reviewed it. Selfhacked is good too, but he recommends every supplement on the planet, also not feasible or advisable.

Congrats Jim, that's a great month! Just 40 minutes (LateralX and Assault Bike) for me today. Got a late start and had a bit of a headache, so I didn't push it. I did a lot yesterday. Didn't post, but did an hour of cardio (including just 2K on the rower), yard work, hit balls at the range and went swimming. Gee, I'm not…

Canyon Bakehouse if you want the best. If you're on a budget, Trader Joe's is good too and much cheaper. I think Canyon Bakehouse is like $5.99 a loaf. But Canyon Bakehouse is world's better than Udi's. And the ingredients are decent. I usually get the whole grain or the white, but they also have a Sweet Hawaiian as well…

I think the same of Honey Peanut Butter. But it's not scientific. That stuff is crack to me. And I could eat a whole jar of it without blinking an eye. Been there, done that. But this is more of a volumetric argument, not a scientific one. Yes, our brains react different, I think, to highly process foods -- like fried,…

Exactly. I'm certainly not anti-vaccine and some of these vaccines do look safe and potentially viable, at least in the short term. And they have already bypassed animal testing (something I'm not fond of anyway because there are many AI and Machine Learning tools now that make animal testing obsolete), gone ahead with…

Well, the CDC was at it again this weekend. Looking more and more like they are under immense pressure to put things out that, IMHO, are incredibly dangerous to the public. They said that 94% of those died had other issues, but I've seen plenty of headlines, including on MSN, saying that "94% of those that died from…

I found out I was Celiac around four or five years ago. I can easily gain weight.

There are things that they are discovering everyday. I take a Vit K2 every day. Scientists figured out over 10 years ago that it was the missing piece in healthy bones/hearts for many years, but most Americans have no idea about it. I read about ancient yeasts used in brewing a few years ago. One yeast used in old beers…

Yep, sorry, I'm celiac. I use a lot of DF (dairy free, because my wife is allergic to cow dairy) and GF (gluten free). But some of the newer Gluten free breads are decent toasted. But I have to be careful. PB&J is how I got obese in the first place, years ago. Back then, though, I didn't workout.

I looked into starting a franchise of that in Tucson. It's a nice concept. Like OTF but with Concept2s, not WaterRowers, and it's all rowing and other complimentary exercises. Looks fun. I'd do it if one was close to me but their franchise fees were way over the top too expensive, IMHO. I have a friend in Tucson that…

I have tons of examples of what my HIIT workouts look like. I try to get to 85% to 90% of max as fast as possible. Actually, the one I did today was a lot higher max HR (I think 93%), but it wasn't HIIT -- it was more AT work. 5 minutes X 6 hard. Usually, I consider HIIT around 2 minute intervals (or less). I probably have…

PB&J on GF Toast. Has to be Grape Jelly, though.

Saw this while working this morning. Looks interesting. They are looking at it coupled with Remdesivir as an antiviral therapeutic. https://www.folio.ca/antiviral-used-to-treat-cat-coronavirus-also-works-against-sars-cov-2-u-of-a-researchers/

I believe there are a lot of things that are being determined that are potentially dangerous. The CDC also changed their guidelines on masks in public places the other day. Basically, they said if someone is angry, don't tell them to put on a mask. It was out of concern for the safety of workers (many times kids), because…

Maybe I'm going back to childhood, but I bought some of these healthy pushup popsicles a few months ago made with just juice and fruit. They were delicious with all the recent heat. Then, Fry's stopped carrying them. So I bought my own wrappers off of Amazon and made my own healthy pushup popsicles with the plastic. I'll…

@AnnPT77 -- I honestly didn't get the whole low SR thing with power until the last few years. I certainly do now. I'm hardly doing anything for performance, though, now. I'm completely just moving away from times and concentrating on my core to (hopefully) help my back. I'm glad you're staying ready for the water,…

I forgot about all that stench. When they take their shin guards off, it does make you throw up in your mouth just a little! Someone I saw at an outside dance venue (the indoor dance hall moved outside) had a great idea. They took a garden sprayer -- like the kind for weeds and such -- and filled it with ice water. Great…

As a former soccer parent (I miss those days!), I can't imagine. The only thing you could do is eat at the food trucks that show up and sit in your car, maybe go to a mall inside masked. Yeah, the restaurant part is the scariest thing to me. Soccer kids and parents, jam packed at tables. I guess I would just bow out of…

A slow 50 minutes today. Keeping up with what I said I would. Taking it really easy after an interval day. Though yesterday was short, I really pushed it. Today was 30 minutes on the LateralX at 60 to 65% of max HR (moderately easy) and then 20 minutes on my Assault Bike. The entire time on the Assault Bike, there was a…

100 is only what they've been able to directly track back to Sturgis. People were there from every state. The secondary infections and beyond could end up in the 100s of thousands. And I'm sure there will be many, many people that didn't decide to hop on their Harley and party maskless that will die. Not to sound…
