SITTING, STANDING, OR WALKING:  WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO WORK                    “Sitting too much makes us unhealthier, unfitter, more metabolically broken — possibly even dumber.

Ha, you think. I work out. I’m safe.

Think again.

If you work out for an hour a day, but sit for the remainder, that one hour doesn’t do much to counter 9+ hours of butt-in-chair.“—Dr. M.C. Shraefel for Precision Nutrition

CROSSFIT, KEVIN OGAR AND QUESTIONS          “While Ogar’s situation is far beyond being simply unfortunate, it’s not necessarily a mark on CrossFit as a whole. The guy was big, strong, experienced, and in the middle of going balls-out during a tough competition. Using his tragic accident as just another chance to knock the entire CrossFit community is just lousy. For sure, we can take the opportunity to examine general competition safety, maybe for all strength sports, but let the conversation be productive instead of letting it be an excuse to drive a wedge further between any groups of dedicated lifters.“—Chris Colucci for TNation.com
