Bob's cardio isn't like Jillian's cardio. There are instances of jumping jacks, jumping up and down, mountain climbers and the like, but from watching his videos I've noticed that he tends to favor lots of squatting (squat swings, deadlifts, etc) and combines this with weights rather than doing outright "pure cardio"…

I advocate dried beans--lentils being my favorite. They're easy to prepare, good for you, and cheap! Good luck!

Serves four: 4 Bananas 4 Eggs 1/2 cup almond butter (peanut butter is not paleo) Cinnamon to taste. Mash the bananas, whip the eggs, then combine. Add the almond butter until it's all smooth (the bananas can…
