Now this is pretty inspirational! 3 hours a day in the gym at 81 years old. And you thought you were overtraining by spending more than 45 minutes in the gym! Honestly, I don’t think he looks 81. Maybe 65.
Thanks to Ross Training for the heads up.

Protein Vodka – Shaken not stirred.
Drew Adelman, a nightlife and dining aficionado and fitness buff, was searching for a way to marry his two passions. He decided that if he was going to go out at night and do the bad thing (drinking), that he’d do something to make it not as bad! (add protein)
The solution: Devotion Vodka. 80 proof, triple distilled vodka. He claims that it tastes smoother and doesn’t give you a hangover. Sounds good right, but what supplement category is it going to come under?
www.MyFitTribe.com Website Review
This review is of the website, My Fit Tribe – An Island of Fun Fitness and Friends.
What is this site about and how can it be of any use to you? That’s the question we’re going to answer from doing this review, so let’s get started.
www.Thatsfit.com is hosting a competition for Safe Side Towels
Matt Barker is the creator of the Safe Side Towel and he has a pretty scary story to go with it!
Matt claims he used to bring a towel to the gym and use it to wipe sweat off the benches but also wipe the sweat off his own face. Apparently one day this dangerous practice caught him a staph infection which ended up infecting his lungs and gave him pneumonia! Scary stuff.
After experiencing that he decided to make a towel that has two sides to it. The face side, and the gym side. One to wipe other people’s sweat and one to wipe off yours! Brilliant thinking if I do say so myself. (note: by “side”, I mean half the towel is dedicated to wiping your face and the other half to wiping the benches.)

Builders to design stair cases with fitness in mind
And so they should, because climbing stairs is one hell of a quick and easy workout!
Dr. Ishak A. Mansi of Louisiana State University claims that even a moderate increase in the use of stairs could play a role in helping to solve the nation’s weight problem.
Ishak and his research team want builders to consider making nicer stair cases with music, carpet and motivational posters to welcome more stair climbing fitness enthusiasts.
The Fit News absolutely supports this idea!

Even More Reason to Exercise
FitSugar has just discovered an article claiming that Cell Phone Elbow is a REAL injury. We’ve all heard of Tennis Elbow and Golf Elbow.. but Cell Phone Elbow? Well, it was only a matter of time! I for one get a sore arm and ear when I use a phone for more than 15 minutes, so it’s no surprise that it can cause semi-permanent injury if you do it for much longer periods of time.
So how do you make sure you don’t get it? Exercise your arms regularly!
Another brilliant reason to exercise and keep fit.
My Life in a Fat Suit
Gayle Jordan has documented her weight loss online for almost a year now and she’s down 77 pounds.
What’s her secret? Well, documenting it online is her secret! She’s photographed the scales and herself regularly throughout this period of weightloss to use as motivation to reach the next step.
What’s really inspirational is that she set a goal to walk 90 minutes every day. She managed to follow it for 3 days then gave up! But that didn’t stop her from doing SOMETHING. She then joined a strength training gym and followed some pretty hardcore workouts.
That’s what everyone who’s trying to lose weight needs to do. It’s inevitable that you’ll give up on a certain fitness workout or diet. The secret to losing weight is to then TRY SOMETHING ELSE!
No one sticks to their first ever diet and workout routine. No one. Even the professionals chop and change, tweak, change days around and switch exercises all the time. You need to as well. If one doesn’t work for you, try another. Keep trying until you find one you can stick to for a good period of time, then when you give up on that one try another.
Your initial goal should be to find a diet and routine that you can stick to for as long as possible.
