Exotic Chicken Breast to Heal

My shoulder has been hurting…a bit inflammed. I saw the chiropractor at work, and she says it may be bicep tendonitis…grr..(I know something has been wrong, but didn’t know what…)…so I may rest it some more 🙁 I hate rest! Anyway, I decided it was time to make some “anti-inflammatory” chicken. I seasoned the chicken breast with herbs that decrease inflammation, such as:

Cayenne
Tumeric
Ginger
Cumin

And threw the chicken breasts on the George Foreman grill (dang, I love that thing). ...

Coconut Cake Batter Protein Mash

I had a great workout at the gym this morning. Perhaps it was a little artificially inspired by (cough cough) caffeine but it FELT GREAT! This marks the second week in my strength cycle, so I worked upper body, and (per my program) was able to increase my mileage to 35 minutes of jogging. Yeah! It feels great. My stamina has not returned to pre-injury stamina but I know that comes with time and persistence, so I am feeling so ...

Dynamic Mobility: Reduce Injury & Make The Most From Your Workouts!

Fascia

What is it?

Dynamic mobility is a great warm up before training. Although there is a bit of semantic confusion in the phraseology, I am referring to “mobility” as contracting your muscles and taking your joints through their ranges of motion actively, as opposed to passively.

What does it do?

  • Increase flexibility
  • Prevent injury
  • Enhance performance
  • Make the most out of your exercises

How does it work?

More and more research ...
