No, I am not talking about your private parts. I am literally talking about yard work. During a hot summer day you can shed some pounds working in the yard. So save some money and do your landscaping yourself. A recent study shows that a grown man burns around 5 calories a minute mowing his lawn. Do this for an hour and you just burned off that healthy lunch you ate. Keep this article in mind during winter months. Snow shoveling can burn around 19 calories per minute if the snow is deep.

What do you listen to when lifting? Unfortunately I get subjected to crap like Copa Cabana. So I bring my iPod and I blast me some Disturbed, Sevendust, 3 days Grace, Breaking Benjamin. Shit that really makes my blood pump. Light weight baby! So drop us a comment and tell us what gets you pumped. If anyone puts Justin Timberlake or the Spice Girls, I’m gonna have to drop an elbow on your candy ass.
Ah, the age old question, reps or weight. It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want strength, you gotta go with weight. Reps won’t get you anywhere in that department. Reps are good for keeping your figure and staying where you’re at, but you really just won’t get anywhere. Weight is always going to be the key and you really need a spotter. A good spotter - someone that makes you work. Someone that won’t let you drop a barbell on your head and won’t tea bag you while you’re on the bench.
Remember: Always increase your weight every couple weeks…even if only by a few pounds.
