My exercise plan

I started the day with a healthy breakfast: egg white omelet with grapes on the side.  I drank my two glasses of water and am getting ready to make Sunday pasta sauce with meatballs.

Sunday is also the day that I plan my workouts for the week.  I plan on doing the following at the gym:

Monday:

upper body weights

30 minutes cardio

Tuesday:

lower body weights, abs

30 minutes cardio

Wednesday:

1 hour cardio

Thursday:

upper body weights

30 minutes cardio

Friday:

lower body weights, abs

30 minutes cardio

I also stretch for 10 minutes after each workout, unless I spent too much time talking at the gym and don’t have any time left after my workout!

If you are a newbie to the world of health and fitness or if you are struggling to get the results you desire, then KEEP READING!

Hi, my name is Scott and I am a well experienced health and fitness trainer.  I have tried many of the “get ripped fast” fitness programs and supplements so you don’t have too.  I am not in this to make money, only to share the knowledge that I have attained over the years.  On this website you will find helpful knowledge and tips about various health and fitness topics.  I will cover everything from supplements to rigorous workout and fitness routines.  I will tell you what works for me and my clients so you can get yourself on the right track.

This is a quote I live my life by: “There are no shortcuts in life.”

Anytime you see a supplement or fitness routine claim that you will get ripped or lose pounds fast, you can expect heartache.  The only way you will achieve your goals is through honest hard work and dedication.  I really get sick of companies making false statements and empty promises.  It is no wonder that almost all the supplements at your local store are NOT backed by the FDA.  And the ones that are, well there is a pretty good chance they will be recalled.  I will give you the short and sweet on what works for me and my clients.

Please take a moment to explore my website.  There is a ton of information here to help you reach your health and fitness goals.  I have provided many useful links to related websites that may help you in addition to this one.  Always consult a licensed doctor before starting any physical routine and consuming supplements.  The information contained on this website is based on my own personal experiences and holds no liabilities.

Ras Dashen mountain

Ras Dashen is the highest mountain in Ethiopia, and the highest of the Simen range, a group of eroded mountains that rises stunningly from the surrounding 9,000 foot plateau in northern Ethiopia. Despite the overall high elevation of Ethiopia, the Simen range is the only place in the country that is regularly snow-covered in Winter. The mountains are composed of basalt volcanic rock, though there are no active volcanoes today. In the midst of the Simen range, Ras Dashen is a cluster of nine rocky peaks. The mountain trails of the Simen Range are dotted with many small agricultural villages. Traditionally the local people believed the mountains to be inhabited by hostile spirits, so the peaks remained unclimbed until Italy's occupation of Ethiopia in 1935.

New year, new start, new blogging

So I’m back to blogging!  Since I’m unemployed as of yesterday, I’ve decided the next few months are about me me me.  And I plan on blogging about it.  Not just health and fitness goals, but everything.  I have a good opportunity to explore my city, really concentrate on working out, cooking and eating well, as well as my job search.  Those all seem like good things to me!

I have been trying to think of another “challenge” for myself since my vegan experiment and I think my next one will be  yoga.  Yoga at least 6 days per week, but I’ll really shoot for 7 days.  I’m not going to be ridiculous about it though.  For instance…if I can only do 20 minutes that day, that’s what I’ll do.  I have found some good podcasts to use, I have DVDs, classes at my gym and I’m going to try Yoga to the People in my neighborhood because they do yoga on a donation basis so it’s something extra I can afford.  You always hear about the great benefits of yoga, but I have practiced so inconsistently over the last 15 years that I don’t believe I’ve really gotten the full effect.  I will be starting this challenge on Monday.

I won’t bore people with all my fabulous numbers, but yes, I want to lose some weight and some inches.  Once I hit various milestones I’ll post the negative numbers, but I really just want to focus on correcting bad habits, trying new things and being consistent.  I’m sure the first few weeks will be difficult, like any new habit, but I’m looking forward to it!

"Bangalore Expressway ready", "Elevated route to Electronic city"

In Bangalore, commuting to Electronics City has been a stressful part of life for lakhs of employees at IT firms like Infosys. Now, after four years and 776 crores, an elevated expressway designed to make the commute shorter is ready. When the government of Karnataka planned the Electronics City on the outskirts of Bangalore, it did not perhaps factor in the unbearable traffic burden that commuters on Hosur Road would have to face. But the complaints and clout of IT giants led to the planning and execution of this massive project - a nine-kilometre expressway leading right into Electronics City. "It is unbelievable how much we have suffered. From 1994 till today, I could estimate we could have lost 15-16,000 employees just because they did not want to spend commute time on the road," says Mohandas Pai, board member at Infosys. "Electronics City alone gives 7.5 to 8 billion dollars of software export," he adds. The original Hosur Road route from Silk Board junction to Electronics City took up to an hour and 10 minutes in peak hours, because it was a two-lane road. With the new four-lane elevated expressway - which also has 10 lanes below - Bangloreans can cover the distance in just 10 minutes. The few kilometres from Bangalore into Electronics City have eaten away hours from the daily lives of commuters. People working in this area hope this elevated expressway will improve the quality of their lives by shortening their commuting time. But will it make a difference, or just change the location of the bottleneck?
