Recipe of the Week: Tuna

There are a lot of people in the world who don’t like seafood. As a kid, the only seafood I would eat was deep-fried and dipped in ketchup. Not exactly the healthiest meal in the world. Today, I have learned to appreciate the taste of well prepared seafood. That is the key with any food, […]

Poliquin and Burns Seminar

I was fortunate enough to be invited to a small seminar hosted by the Poliquin Performance Center in conjunction with SportFuel. The Poliquin Performance Center gets its name from Charles Poliquin who is probably the most famous strength and conditioning coach in the world. SportFuel is run by a registered dietician named Julie Burns. To […]

An Average Person’s Trip to the Grocery Store

I was recently at the grocery store standing in the check-out line when I noticed the contents of the cart in front of me. The shopper in question was a woman in her late 20’s to early 30’s who was relatively thin, just your typical suburban housewife. However, looking at what she was buying gave […]

The Higher Endeavors Forum

In an effort to provide the greatest potential for people to achieve their goals I have created a forum for people to post questions, thoughts, and ideas. I want the forum to be a place that anyone can visit to safely ask questions and voice opinions without attack from other individuals. I want the forum […]

Recipe of the Week: Soup

When I reflect back to my days of early childhood staying home from school with the flu there is always one memory, chicken noodle soup in bed.

Mail Order Diets

The quest for the quickest and easiest way to lose weight seems to be never-ending. Turn on the television and flip through the channels for a few minutes. You will most likely come across a few different kinds of diet programs where the food is mailed to your door. Search on the internet and you […]

Recipe of the Week: Mint Flavored Recipes

As I stated in last weeks recipe, cinnamon and lime chicken fajita, an easy way to find a good recipe is to think of a spice that sounds good and what kind of food you want to pair it with. Today I am sitting at my desk writing looking out the window at the recently […]

Training the Core Musculature: Six Pack Abs

I should start off by saying that the title is a little misleading. Unfortunately doing core work will not result in a six pack, but the title is a good hook to get people’s attention. A six pack is only achieved through proper nutrition and a well designed exercise program, not hundreds of crunches. The […]

The key to a making any food enjoyable is by adding the right spices. I know I have said this many times before but it should be the primary focus when cooking. Instead of consuming the typical American diet, which primarily uses calorie dense condiments, opt for condiments that add few calories while adding lots […]

Training the Hip Musculature: Buns of Steel

In a previous post I discussed the basic ideas to attain a well sculpted butt. I want to take a little bit deeper look at the role of the gluteus muscles and provide some more comprehensive exercises. As I previously mentioned the butt is comprised of three major muscles, the gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius, […]
