I woke up thinking about 4×4 Burpees and Adventures in Burpeeland. We were in the back of a 4×4… last time I was in the back of a 4×4 was in El Negro (name of the truck) going through Mexico with a case of beer in the back.. that was a long time ago. But I woke up with an adventure in my head and had to simulate it in a workout and this is it. You’ll have to use your imagination to get full effect. || Read more
This is a recipe I created years ago and it still has yet to be improved upon. It’s still a favorite and even if I create others (it’s nice for a change) I keep coming back to this one. I made this the day before yesterday and some skeptics around here were delightfully surprised. Well, I was delighted, especially when yesterday, a day after eating the soup I kep getting sporadic compliments on it. “That green soup was great” I kept hearing. It made me feel good to turn people, who didn’t believe a green soup could taste good, onto it. || Read more
It’s back to burpees with this burpee business workout. I was feeling a need to get lots of burpees out and so picked out 8 different ones, most being some of my favorite burpees. The one leg burpees are the toughest one for me and so put it first to get it out of the way. I want to practice doing lots of these so I get good at them and love them too. I put in one round of burpees without push ups but it is actually harder to do them without when you get used to always putting a push up in, and it’s kind of sad that they don’t get one. They seem a little deprived. Ok, give them push ups if you want to. ; ) || Read more

So for both looks and to build functional, useful, day to day strength we definitely want to work this part of our body. || Read more
This delicious colorful salad was one I ate a lot of when I first went raw. This salad keeps well for days in the refrigerator and so I would make large batches of it. It is still one of my favorites that I make often. I like it best when the ingredients are chopped quite small so they really soak up the dressing. It’s quite easy to make and I took lots of pictures to show you exactly how I make it. || Read more
