Get Exercised: Yoga with a little Humor

I just found a great YouTube channel called Get Exercised. The videos are by Dina Prioste, an actress and yoga instructor from New York. She demonstrates loads of great yoga positions with a lot of style and humor. Very, very funny and addictive to watch. Here are just a few of her videos…

Caveman Diet Part 2: Sodium and Potassium

The caveman diet does not include salt, not added salt at least. To see how this affects our body, we need to talk about electrolytes.

The Man Whose Arms Exploded

This documentary has massive flaws but is entertaining. It’s biased from the word go and its use of imagery to make steroids appear horrific is just not needed. This kind of biased reporting actually makes more people do the opposite since they know there is more to the story. That said, there are some good points.

The see the world differently and respond to events according to their masculine and feminine dispositions. Oh yeah? Well explain the cover of Men’s and Women’s Health magazines then. Either this is seriously poor, lazy, spam-like journalism or men and women are in fact one and the same. What do you think? According to the magazines, the real difference is that women don’t take kindly to (read: “don’t buy”) the word “gut”.
