Spike Shooter Energy Drink

Spike Shooter Energy DrinkSpike Shooter is a lethal energy drink. Why? Because in my opinion, it kills the competition – Red Bull, Monster Energy, XS, Rockstar, SoBe, VPX’s Redline – you name it - all these energy drinks just became a thing of the past.

Spike Shooter is like iPod of energy drinks. Sure, before iPod was unleashed, the market was already flooded with MP3 players, but once it was out, it left others in the dust. I feel the same may happen with Spike Shooter. Run and hide Red Bull, run and hide…

Fergie’s workout and diet changed for the better, when she adjusted her busy schedule to pay more attention to her eating habits and exercise. (more…)

NYC Restaurants Could Be Trans Fats Free

Nyc Restaurants Trans Fats BanI have been contemplating this idea for some time – “what would happen if the government simply bans trans fats from all processed foods?” – but I did not think it was feasible.

They are not just talking about banning trans fats from fast food joints, but any food service establishment in New York City. Imagine that! (more…)

Best Cardio Workout for Weight and Fat Loss

Best Cardio Workout For Weight and Fat LossWhat is the best cardio workout for weight loss? What is the best cardio workout for fat loss? What is the best cardio workout for toning? How much cardio is too much?

I have been receiving all these questions and I do not even like cardio. Say what?! Yep, I have never been a big fan of cardio exercises. Why? I just do not seem to enjoy it as much as weight training.

Having said that, I do things I do not necessarily enjoy, because they help me stay fit, and cardio is certainly on that list. (more…)
