Workout Design: Hannibal Tactics, Finish Like Scipio
Hannibal Tactics Carthage, 2238 years ago. A nine-year-old boy named Hannibal walks into the main temple with his father to swear a blood oath. The man is Hamilcar Barca, an astute politician and notorious general of the Phoenician colony in Northern Africa. The gifted strategist’s son promises under the eyes of the gods and his father to conquer the Romans, their greatest enemies who had betrayed and humiliated them by breaking a peace treaty during the first Punic war.
Healthy and Healthy for You are Two Different Things
If you were to go on ten different health or weight loss websites, you are likely to find ten different approaches to achieving your goal. One may stress that going vegetarian or vegan is the best diet. Someone else may recommend an all raw foods diet. One expert will tell you to eliminate all carbs while another will be just as adamant that healthy whole grains are absolutely necessary for health. And on and on it goes!
Ann MusicoPublished 7 years ago in LongevityLiving with an Eating Disorder
I'm 38 years old and live with an eating disorder. I weigh 105 at 5"6 and wear a size 1 in pants that, even after wearing them all day, they will sag. I can goes days without eating and not think twice about it. I start noticing the effects only by the fatigue and body cramps. My heart races at times for no reason. When I feel those symptoms I binge eat for a couple of weeks, maybe even a month and a half. It's like my brain rewired itself systematically. I know it's all part of the disorder. I have never weighed more than 115 and I don't even know when I have fallen off track until I start feeling the symptoms. How long will I keep going like this? Will it last forever? I read about cases all the time where they won the battle and became healthy.
Travis sandiferPublished 7 years ago in LongevityBetter Dead Than Fat
As I was growing up, a fat little girl in a family of fat, short women, I always had the feeling that someone was missing. Someone who was supposed to be there and wasn't. I was surrounded by uncles, great uncles, cousins, my brothers, my parents, great aunts, several grandparents and even my great-grandparents. There was an abundance of extended family, but still, somebody was missing.

Resistance bands are made of strong, thin rubber with handles at the end or just look like a giant elastic band. They can create a greater challenge practically everywhere as they’re extremely portable. They’re inexpensive and there’s a wide variety of full-body workouts you can access.
Emily HollandPublished 7 years ago in LongevityFind What Works for You
This “one-a-week” posting makes me feel as though I’m neglecting you. But, needs must when you have bills to pay. Today, we’re going to talk about fitness and well-being. This isn’t a “tips,” “tricks,” or “diet” post. Perish the thought. This is sharing what works for me and how I found it. Think of this post as motivation to find what will work for you. I hate to tell you this, but not everyone is the same. Yes, Dave, people do think that.
The Neglected Middle Child in This Pro-Fat & Pro-Skinny World—The Skinny Fat
What in the world is "skinny fat"? If you were to take one look at me, you'd be sure to call me slender, or skinny b**** if you are Meghan Trainor. Sure, I do look svelte in clothes most of the time; they don’t come off as loose and neither do I have any problems with stuffing my junk in the trunk.
What Is a Personal Trainer?
When the term 'Personal Trainer' is mentioned, a lot of images are conjured up in the mind. Most involve pushing people to their limits, whilst the trainer is shouting at this poor sweaty person, who looks like they are about to pass out, vomit, or worse, both. But we really aren't like that at all (Unless, of course, you ask us to be!)

What's the deal? Disabled people are often thought to be incapable of participating in athletic activity. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Whatever your disability, whether physical or developmental, there is a sporting venue for you.
Jenn ThomasPublished 7 years ago in LongevityLow Self-Esteem and Weight Loss Issues Faced by Modern Women
I think we all know by now that it isn’t easy being “pretty”. It’s even more difficult to understand what being “pretty” means for a woman. A pretty woman is tan, and sometimes as pale as porcelain. She wears a lot of makeup, but you’re not supposed to see it. She has wide hips, a large bust and, most importantly, she is extremely skinny.

I first discovered intermittent fasting around 20 years ago, although back then I had no idea what it was called, or even that it actually had a name. I simply found that my body was happier if it wasn't being stuffed with food from morning to night.

Over the last two decades, Americans have sharply increased their intake of oils high in polyunsaturated fat–largely due to their "good guy" image in preventing heart disease. But, some heart experts now say we've been pinning our longevity hopes on the wrong fat.
