TREKZ TITANIUM: a great pair of headphones for active people.

Image
I have been using these headphones for about 2 months right now and I will cut it short for you: If you are an active person, like me that ever worried about your headphones cutting you out from the world specially on the streets, then you will love this pair of headphones. These headphones do not go on or in your ears, they sit tight next to your ears on your cheek bones. They are lightweight and extremely comfortable. I remember wearing other type of headphones on this position specially if I was in the office or in places where I wanted to be aware of what was going on. These headphones do just that but in a better way. Music is clear,  at first the vibrations felt a bit different, but you get used to it by the second or third day. It is great to be able to run in the city and be aware of cars, people or directions. These headphone were definitely designed for active people, they are sweat-proof and look great. you can learn more about them here: http://...

ARE YOU A FIT DAD?

PHYSICLO   is the first line of compression tights with built-in resistance bands to help you train harder and smarter than ever. These revolutionary  workout clothes feature layers of special elastics to engage key leg muscles and  take your training to the next level. PHYSICLO  combines compression pants with resistance bands to challenge your body and help you engage your muscles more, burn extra calories, and maximize workout results.  The resistance comes from strong, custom elastic bands and panels that are integrated within multiple layers inside our workout pants. Each panel is designed to cover a specific target muscle group.  As the legs swing around the hip, these panels become stretched and counteract that motion, requiring the muscles to generate more power. This increases in effort and energy you spend, resulting in a higher caloric burn and better training re...

Bodyweight Exercise: Perfect for vacation time. Better with added resistance tights by Physiclo.

Image
Staying on track with your fitness goals can be difficult while on vacations. This doesn't really have to be the case. Whenever I go on vacation I try to pack up my ab-roller wheel, some rubber resistance bands and my running shoes. But since last year I have added one item to my "travel fit" item list: Resistance tights by Physiclo.   Training with Physiclo's revolutionary workout gear challenges your body to work harder, boosting heart rate and calories burned by up to 14%.  The extra push you get from training with Physiclo compression pants activates key muscles like the hamstrings, quads, and glutes by an additional 23%. I  usually begin the workout with a mile run or a couple sprints to warm up, then perform a series of bodyweight exercises. The workout here is perfect to do it at the beach before getting into the water. It will take you about 25 minutes. The added resistance with Physiclo will actually make your workout time be work 35-45 minutes, B...

I'm back at reading, writing and reporting. Definitely going back to sharing more about lifestyle. After all that's what health and fitness life is about; being well rounded on all aspects of life. I you are looking to be a bodybuilder perhaps this won't be for you, but if you want to be up to date in all aspects of life, then welcome. Today I am sharing with you some visuals from #GQ magazine. Let me know what you think.

#MOVEMBER HEALTH TIP 1: health numbers.

No matter your age, one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy is to know and track your key health numbers. Tracking these and keeping them in the healthy range will lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and many types of cancer.   The health numbers you should watch:  - Body Mass Index / Weight  - Waist line  - Blood pressure  - HDL Cholesterol (healthy cholesterol)  - LDL Cholesterol (unhealthy cholesterol)  - Blood Glucose (sugar) 

ABS ARE MADE IN THE KITCHEN, not the in the gym! Part 2

Eating the right amount is as important as eating healthy food. Goals: When it comes to be healthy and in optimal physical form we have to set goals. To set goals first you need to know where you are standing at, you have to decide if you want to lose weight, gain weight, or simply maintain your actual shape. Learning to count calories is super important to help you have faster and concrete results. I have been keeping track of my caloric intake for about 3 weeks now and the change is incredible.

ABS ARE MADE IN THE KITCHEN, not the in the gym! Part 1

Image
Never heard this before? Learn it. We all have different goals when it comes to fitness. Some of us just want to be healthy, some others care more about the aesthetics of a sculpted body. I always considered myself an average guy swimming between the two, and competing with my cousin Kendy (always beat me) in Dominican Republic. I never really understood how come I would eat "healthy and balanced" and saw very little physical change in my overall body fat. Well, after years educating myself in various topics I became in an unplanned way super interested in learning more than what I found in magazines or just with my peers around. I went into books! Awesome idea! I have learned so much, that I can believe the progress I've done one week into a new exercise and nutrition plan, made specifically for me... certainly abs are not made at the gym! I have lost 2 pounds in 5 days! damn, and my abs are showing and are tighter, and my energy levels are hyped... Stay tuned for p...
