Things That Throw Off Your Goals

Posted by Dan on February 25th 2008 to General

I know that there are a number of things that we all run into from time to time that tend to get us off track from our goals. A few weeks ago something came into my life that has had the same effect, but I must say that its worth it. We had a new baby!

Its funny, but I remember reading on a blog or some other article a while back that if you wife has just had a baby, its really not the best time to be fanatical about bulking up, losing weight, or whatever. Sometimes priorities change. But as soon as we’re used to this new addition, its back to the routine.

So the question that remains for a lot of people is, “Ok, so something came up. Should I just stop working out altogether?” I would say no. Even if you can’t always make it to the gym there are always things you can do. Try some body weight exercises or anything else to keep yourself getting some exercise.

Another Great Supplement Site

Posted by Dan on February 06th 2008 to General

I just came across another supplement site that is well worth checking out: SupplementPricing.com.  They go out and try to find the lowest prices for the supplements we all know and love and then tell you who the lowest 5 are that they’ve found.

Using a site like this can really save you a lot of time.  Honestly you can spend hours and hours trying to find the best prices on the best bodybuilding supplements.  Or just use a site like this.  Seriously, check it out sometime and see if you can find what you use at a better price than you’re getting it now.  They are continually adding to their listings so check back often!

Should You Workout When You’re Sick?

Posted by Dan on February 06th 2008 to Training

I think I did a post on this about a year or so ago (must be the season), but I often wonder if its really worth it to keep working out when you’re sick. I’ve read several articles that would suggest that although you may not have as much energy and intensity when you are sick, you can still get benefit from it. That’s probably true.

I guess the thing that I always wonder is that if I keep working out when I’m sick, and I just prolonging the sickness? Or should I just take some time, get feeling better, and then get back into the swing of things. My natural tendency would be to just get better first.

What have your experiences been in regards to this?
