Pro Training Secrets: Men
It's an early-February morning, and the Athletes' Performance training center looks like backstage at the ESPY Awards—except that the jocks are clad in workout gear, and not formal attire. At one end of the training floor, "performance coaches" direct a group of baseball players that includes Pat Burrell of the Philadelphia Phillies, Carl Crawford of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and Brian Roberts, the pint-size but powerful infielder for the Baltimore Orioles. Curt Schilling is lying on a padded table as a physical therapist examines his famous ankle. Outside, NFL prospects pull weighted sleds across an Astroturf field. Last year, NFL teams drafted eight Athletes' Performance clients in the first round, including top-10 picks Ronnie Brown, Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, and Carlos Rogers. Roberts, who at 5'9" hit 18 home runs last season, surveys the scene and shakes his head. You, too, can add your name to his list of all-star success stories.

12 easy ways to remove acid build-up from your body, alkalize your pH and beat disease
(NaturalNews) Most of us over the age of five were brought up to believe life is very complicated and our bodies are a jumble of parts, each with a different name and a corresponding ailment; dozens of diets to overcome the effects of highly complex micro-crap called food; and television punctuated with an entire industry of false promises and dark demons hawking medicines for lesions we didn't even know we had. The end result of this twisted perspective is an outlook that dissects humans, infuses each and every cell and fiber with acidosis and creates disease as the result of a lack of wisdom and the truth. As a result of our misguided beliefs, most of us are walking cells of battery acid in leaky vials waiting to overturn or to turn over into the grave. Humans were never meant to be carved up into miniscule parts, each to be treated as separate from one another. Most disease states can't exist when the body's pH is alkaline. Bacteria, viruses and fungi can't reproduce.
The 5 Biggest Fitness Mistakes
People are always asking me questions about fitness. Two reasons: 1) I’m an editor at the world’s largest health and fitness magazine; 2) they think I’m the other Bill Phillips. Truth is, I’m no fitness expert, but I’ve been at the magazine long enough to play one at cocktail parties: • “Is it better to exercise in the morning or evening?” (Exercise when you feel like it, which will reduce the chances you won’t do it at all.) • “Which builds muscle more effectively: machines or free weights?” • “Why don’t I have abs yet?” But when the questions get really tough, I turn to Adam Campbell, the Men’s Health Fitness Director. In fact, a few years ago, I walked into his office and told him that I was hiring a personal trainer. “You don’t need to find a personal trainer,” he told me. An hour? He was right. If you’ve looked into the mirror recently and didn’t recognize the person staring back, I’ve got good news. 1. 2. 3. Need a weight workout? Thanks, Adam!

The Most Dangerous Thing You'll Do All Day
We stand around a lot here at Men’s Health. In fact, a few of us don’t even have office chairs. Instead, we write, edit, and answer e-mails—a lot of e-mails—while standing in front of our computers. It all started last summer, when Assistant Editor Maria Masters came across a shocking study in the Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (one of dozens of research journals we comb each month as we put together the magazine). That’s right—I said 54 percent! Masters immediately called the lead researcher at Pennington, a professor named Peter Katzmarzyk. Here’s the most surprising part: “We see it in people who smoke and people who don’t,” Katzmarzyk told Masters. In other words, it doesn’t matter how much you exercise or how well you eat.

About | Outback Pride
The Outback Pride Project is promoting the Australian native food industry by developing a network of production sites within traditional Aboriginal communities. The cultivation of Australian native food provides indigenous Australians with jobs and training in horticulture and the food industry. In this way, the project also acknowledges the intellectual property of the traditional uses of bush foods. History The Outback Pride Project was created by Mike and Gayle Quarmby of Reedy Creek, South Australia. It was born from a need to take a positive journey following the tragic loss of a 20 year old son. Gayle's family involvement with traditional communities goes back to 1932, when her father Rex Battarbee travelled in a model T Ford to the central Australian outback settlement of Hermannsburg, south west of Alice Springs. While at Hermannsburg Rex met a young camel team worker called Albert. Mike Quarmby has had a lifetime of experience in the commercial horticultural industry. Outcomes

Modifying your diet to "eat healthfully" doesn't require dramatic changes. In fact, it may only call for some minor tweaks. Certain small changes serve up huge, lifelong benefits that can help you lose weight, ward off disease, and feel more upbeat and energetic all day long. "It's all about self-care," says Beth Reardon of Duke Integrative Medicine and Caring.com's senior food and nutrition editor. "You have to ask, 'Am I worth a little extra effort to think about what I'm putting in my body?' Start with these six simple diet game-changers: 1. Why? Many adults, especially baby boomers, have been brainwashed into thinking fats equal calories and should be avoided. Healthy fats include those found in many nuts, seeds, avocado, extra-virgin olive oil, and canola oil. How? Use extra-virgin olive oil and canola for much of your cooking. Tip: Buy a flaxseed grinder (or coffee grinder) and add freshly-ground flaxseed to anything from cereal and baked goods to vegetables and smoothies.
