  1. Get Fit Guy

    Friday, May 24, 2013

    One of the unfortunate laws of life is that man cannot exist on Totino's Party Pizzas alone.  I tried diet supplements, but a trip to the emergency room and a blood panel taught me that just because Mt. Dew is green doesn't mean it contains any vegetables.  
     
    Turns out if you want to pour food-like items into your gaping maw as often as I do you need to sprinkle in a little exercise here and there.  You can get as ripped as you like, or you can be like me and just try to keep your heart from getting too enlarged.  
     
    But where to start?  Most people would tell you to just go get a pair of sneakers and start running, but have you been in a shoe store lately?  It's a labyrinth of choices!  I walked into a sporting goods store and had to sit down with my head between my knees.  That was mostly due to my uncontrolled blood pressure, but also because I didn't know which way to go.

    Now there's help.  Now there's the Get Fit Guy podcast.

    Host Ben Greenfield is here to provide you with a quick hit of information while you're... I dunno, doing warmups?  Deciding what belt matches your leotard?  Trying to remember which locker is yours?  Whatever you're up to, Get Fit Guy podcast will provide you with a hearty factoid that relates to exercise.  Topics may include:
     
    • Is exercising in pollution bad for you?

    Information about new studies in the field of Running a Mile Without Puking is presented in a thorough manner without being boring.  Greenfield often adds on videos and links when he describes exercise moves/techniques, so he really puts in the effort to make sure his audience can develop new and improved workout routines.  It's nice when a podcast really cares, you know?

    MusicGet Fit Guy has this nice beat at the front and back.  It's good!  Reminds of when I walk by the Zumba classes.

    Unintentionally Good Part:  This podcast inspired me to do a push-up.  I know!  I was surprised as you are!
