Going Vegan? Here are 5 foods to help you get your protein

I have been Vegan for over 5 years and have been an professional MMA fighter during all that time. I found that not only do I feel better and recover better from training, I also build leaner muscle mass as a vegan and avoid all the stomach issues I had before. The myth that you cannot build muscle mass or get enough protein is a complete misconception. The real issue is that you really need to understand nutrition, so that you continue to be healthy as a vegan. So here is an article that will help you to find those protein sources to help you on your journey.

The 5 Rules of Real Strength

Just to warn you this article is taken from a body building perspective. When we think of strength we often think of how much someone can lift. However, I believe that real physical strength is so much more than that. It seems counterproductive to be able to bench press 500lbs but not be able to run a mile. Or be able to squat 800lbs but not be able to pick up your socks from the floor. I whole heartedly believe in functional strength. It doesn't matter how big your muscles are but how that strength helps you in everyday life. So check out these rules but remember the 6th rule: All strength must be functional to be productive.

5 Ways to Create Adventure and Joy Every Day

When is it along the development into adulthood that all our sense of adventure and excitement is choked out of our lives? I remember as a child daydreaming about meeting Muhammad Ali and being trained by him. I remember walking down to the park and imagining being attacked by monsters and having to defeat them on the rocks that overlooked the park. As children we have a great sense of adventure that we often lose. The joy of life is apparent and we find it everywhere. Just look at little children give them a present and how often do they play more with the box than the actual present. The great thing is that if we can tap into that childlike state of mind, we can find adventure and joy at every turn of our lives. This would make out live so fulfilled and we could watch our dreams come true right before our very eyes. What are you waiting for step into adventure today.

16 Places Common Diseases Do Not Occur, and The Reasons Why

We have a very misguided belief that our American society has everything right. We trust our doctors, government, pharmaceutical companies, etc. to give us the correct picture of how are health should be. But when we look at the rest of the world we find that we have some of the highest levels of disease and some of the worst healthcare in the world. So why are we so resistant to look at other cultures that are thriving and adapt our lifestyle towards theirs for a healthier life? Often it has much to do with just that, lifestyle. We do not want to give up anything that we find comfortable, even if it means our life. It is a sad state that we live in that the instant gratification of a hamburger or cupcake trumps the lifelong elation to life pain and disease free. Here is a great article that will show you places where diseases are lowest and why they live that way and see if it doesn't challenge the way that you currently live.

Seven Ways to Stay Fit on Vacation

I have heard this complaint from many fitness lovers, "I love going on vacation to get away from everything, but I always pay for it when I come back. I wish I could keep training or mix it up on vacation, the hotel gym is just not enough." This is one of the main reasons why I came up with the idea of Warrior Vacations. A resort that is based around the idea of a training vacation. This idea mixes the training (in various disciplines: martial arts, fitness, and yoga) with the beauty of the environment and eco-tourism (zip lining, surfing, rafting, etc.). So if you want to mix up your training in a tropical island beach resort we have the place for you. Go here to start your adventure: www.WarriorVacations.com.

7 Key Factors Every Entrepreneur Should Consider Before Throwing In The Towel

One of the most hazardous mistakes we can make as entrepreneurs is giving up too soon. We always hear that we just need to wait a little longer and success could be right around the corner. The trick is we need to do the due diligence to make sure success will ever be a possibility. If it is your goal to make the best pager ever invented I think the time has passed you by. However, if it is your idea to make a wifi device that gets rid of tablets, phones, and computers you may have a winner but a market that is just not ready yet. So not only do we need to know our market but we must be patient. This is the most difficult place to be, right before that first sales comes through. As you wonder if anything is ever going to work. While you pay out your last dime for the advertising that seems to be having no effect. This is crunch time, this is where we sweat...so here are 7 things to consider before you hang it up.

6 Reasons You Should Be More Concerned About Ocean Conservation

The oceans are linked to everything that we are able to do on this planet. When I did a snorkeling tour off Cano Island in Costa Rica I was fortunate enough the see several humpback whales including a baby doing tricks and showing off for us. It was a beautiful sight to behold. However, the highlight of the trip was a sea turtle the size of a Volkswagen 100 feet from our boat. It was so beautiful and amazing to see such a creature in the wild, I have to say I have never seen anything to match it. With all that life in mind I also remember seeing the mounds of trash in the ocean as we flew over from the coast of Florida to Costa Rica.

How to Sit for Meditation Using the Best Seated Meditation Posture

I know for myself, one of the things that steered me away from meditation for so long was the idea of sitting for so long in one position without moving.

However, your mind will only hear, what your seat can endure.

Habits That Make You Obese and Overweight

It is often not the amount of times a week you hit the gym or the intensity of your workouts that make you skinny or fat. More likely than not it is a combination of things with your personal habits being at the center of that struggle. I know myself when I retired from an active pro mma career it was my habits that caused me to gain 30lbs. Not only had my activity level decreased (still training 4-5 days a week 1.5-2.5 hours at a time), my junk food and portion control habits had become apparent. I was still eating too much of the wrong things. I am proud to say that after changing some of these habits and tightening up my diet I am back down 15lbs, so only another 10 to go.

How To Achieve Arm Balances in Yoga

This is one of the most challenging things that I struggle with in my own personal yoga practice. This article will help you with some of the issues associated with arm balances. However, I will also let you know that sometimes it can be a bone issue rather than flexibility or balance. I struggle with some ulna flexion because of the orientation of my bones which makes it quite a challenge to put all the weight on my arms to balance myself. This doesn't keep me from trying and falling time and time again.

The Top Ten Things Your Kids Should Not Eat

There are so many choices out there for food for our children. The problem is we often op for convenience instead of wholesome. We look at the school lunches and realize that they are feeding our children garbage. Then we wonder why obesity and nutrition related diseases (Heart disease, Diabetes, Cancer, etc.) are on the rise in the juvenile realm. We continue to stuff our children with "non-foods" expecting them to stay healthy and it just doesn't work. If we want to have a brighter future we need to get a grip on our own health and share that with our children.

What’s the Point of Yoga Anyway?

Since the popularization of yoga in Western culture there have been several meanings attached to the ancient practice of yoga. There are now as many methods and methodologies of doing yoga as there are yoga teachers. So the question becomes why do you do it. Is it strength training, flexibility, endurance, to check out the cute girls (why I teach...lol), a greater connection with self, the universe, others, or some other reason all together. So the greater question is do you do yoga for the physical benefits (which there are many) or the spiritual benefits (which are innumerable) or is it just a way of life? Often the physical benefits open people up to the legalistic alignment based ideas of yoga where the spiritual side allows people to become lovers of practice and the world around them. So choose what is your goal with yoga and how do you express your life to others.

Running For Haters

When I decided to make the move towards retirement from an active professional MMA fighting career I needed something to continue to motivate me to train. I had become bored with the constant grind of conditioning drills and technical training sessions. So I thought what do I hate more than anything.....running. So of course I signed up for the 10k in the Flying Pig for my first race. I trained for a few weeks and then ran the race. I had a goal to finish in under an hour and a personal goal to finish under 50 mins. I finished that first race in 49:21. I found that running was very freeing. The open spaces and being able to pass people and finish well satisfied my need for competition. I was hooked. I compete in my first Spartan Race next month in Indianapolis and I am seriously excited about it. So check out this article and get on the road.
