Basic Pursuits

Complex training is a method of exercise in which you move from one exercise to the next without rest. It can be done with various different implements, including a pair of dumbbells or kettlebells, a sandbag, or abarbell

Hard work will get you very far in life, but hard work plus proper and smart planning will get you even farther. This is what separates the achievers from the over-achievers. One of my favorite forms of training is High Frequency Training (HFT). HFT allows you to achieve multiple goals at once and gives you the freedom of changing various aspects of your routine as you see fit.

A recent study showed that milk was more effective at burning fat and gaining muscle when taken after weight training.

The group that drank milk had some pretty impressive gains over the groups that drank comparable soy drinks and high carb energy drinks.

I'd really be excited about this if one of the funders was not the US National Dairy Council. But no harm done. If milk is part you your low calorie - high nutrition eating plan, you may just have a little bonus coming if you drink after you work out.
