A few weeks ago Mike Robertson asked me if I’d be willing to do a guest blog for his site.  Given my disdain for the recent explosion  of “Tabata” protocols, the topic was easy.  Check it out HERE and let me know what you think.

As many of you may know, I believe that reading for an hour per day is paramount if you hope to become a leader in any field.  Fitness and nutrition are no different.  Here are a few things to get you started for today.

1.  We know to program in HTML, Java and Windows, but we don’t know how to cook or eat.

Last week I was reading my colleague Aaron Schwenzfeier’s blog and saw this link to an article he posted.  Since Aaron always posts really thought provoking stuff I decided to check it out and I’m glad I did.  Check out this great essay by Frank Forencich HERE. 

 2.  You think you’re doing Tabata workouts, but you’re not.

Lyle McDonald does an incredible job reviewing the ever popular Tabata study that was the initial stimulus for all of the “Tabata” based workouts that you see all over the internet.  If you’re using this type of training you need to read this article.  Interestingly, what you’re probably doing looks nothing like what was actually studied in the first place.  Check out Lyle’s post HERE.
