The Keto Diet: Chicken Makhani and Spiced Okra
https://ift.tt/2ILcPxt
The ketogenic diet is on a roll and there’s really no question why it’s gained so much momentum both in and out of the athletic world. Dubbed the keto diet for short, this low carb, high fat diet supplies the body with a plethora of healthy fats which are used as energy for the body instead of carbohydrates. This way of eating provides a nutritionally dense vegetable and protein base with high fat energy for us to perform our best while maintaining a slim physique. A keto meal in its most simple form combines a protein, paired with a green vegetable (or other low carb veg), and fats. This series will provide a more inspired approach to these combinations that you can mix and match for a unique ketogenic eating experience.
When searching for low-carb meals inspiration, I often look toward Middle Eastern or Asian cuisine as these often offer lower carb options with minor changes. These cuisines tend to use higher fat meals paired with vegetables and occasionally dairy while using minimal grain carbs making them perfect candidates for a keto recipe renovation. Chicken Makhani is an elegant Indian dish also known as butter chicken. I’ve created a shortcut version of makhani by using tomato sauce instead of fresh tomatoes. This significantly reduces the time it takes to make the dish so you can focus on tomorrow’s food prep or getting your kids off to their evening activities.
The fat content in this dish is increased by using chicken thighs rather than breast meat. Whole milk Greek yogurt delivers a tasty tanginess that combines so well with the tomato and cream based butter sauce. The carb content has been reduced by decreasing the amount of tomato used and by pairing this with a side of spiced okra rather than serving with naan or rice.
Okra is a vegetable that is often intentionally overcooked to utilize its unique gelling properties. In this instance, I kept it tender crisp which allows for a delicious texture differentiation between the creamy chicken and the lightly crunchy vegetable. They both contain similar ingredients so they pair seamlessly for one cohesive meal.

From Pelvis to Hamstring, Mastering Seated Forward Folds
https://ift.tt/2IOOyCK Do you dream of being able to sit comfortably on the floor, with your legs long in front of you? Or maybe you have loftier goals, like being able to fold forward in a wide leg straddle with your chest approaching the floor, but no matter how hard you try or how long you stretch, nothing happens. You remain (mostly) vertical, your muscles rejecting the position you are trying to place them in by announcing their discomfort.
Maybe you don’t know what I’m talking about because you can easily fold forward, chest on the ground. However, you may still want to continue reading because chances are high at some point you will meet someone who struggles to sit on the ground, limited by a lack of movement and motor control.
Hip MovementWhen you consider the movement of your hips, you probably think of what position your leg can easily move into. While that is definitely one piece of the movement, let’s quickly review how the hip joint works.
The head of the femur, the long thigh bone, meets the pelvis in neatly designed cup called the acetabulum.1 The acetabulum located a little bit forward on the pelvis, in the place where the three bones that comprise the pelvis meet. The femur does indeed move all directions inside the joint, enabling the leg to move in a variety of directions.
The pelvis also moves around the femur in a variety of ways. This is also a form of hip mobility.
Try this: Come into a tall kneeling position, probably on a blanket or something that supports your knees. Now, step your left foot forward and transfer most of the weight to your right knee. How many ways can you move your self around your right knee?
You can also try coming into a hands and knees position, with your knees set up directly under your hips. Begin by rolling the pelvis down and up. Now, rock your pelvis back and a little bit to the right. Try it going to the left. Go in a circle. Can you begin to feel how these motions are actually mobilizing the hip joint?
Why does this matter? Because when you sit on the floor with your pelvis rocked back because you lack control/awareness/strength/flexibility to move the pelvis forward, you can spend the next 12 months diligently stretching your hamstrings and still never feel truly comfortable. If your pelvis is unable to roll around your femur, you will bend from somewhere else, more than likely the place where your pelvis meets your back at the sacroiliac joint. This isn’t necessarily bad, it just results in more work. It’s less economical and will limit your mobility potential.
Steps to Improve Your Hip FlexionOkay, so what are you supposed to do to improve your hip flexion?
We will begin with step one, improving your sense of how the pelvis moves around the hips. Since the goal is to be able to do this seated, a couple of reference points in the pelvis might be helpful, the first of which is the ischial tuberosities.
When you are sitting, at the bottom of your pelvis are two bony protrusions that serve as attachment points for multiple muscles. These are your ischial tuberosities or sit bones.2 They provide sensory feedback to the nervous system about where the pelvis is located in space. The ability to feel these two bones while you are sitting in a chair makes it much easier to understand how to move your pelvis when you are folding forward.
In the drills below, I am moving my pelvis forward, back, and circularly while sitting. I alternate which leg I have crossed on top, and when I move circularly, I am moving around my sitting bones.
Another way to approach sensing the pelvis is by feeling how the pelvis moves in space. What I mean by this is if you can differentiate pelvis movement when you have less contact with the floor, chances are high you will be able to control how your pelvis moves when you have lots of contact.
Try this: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands on the two front hip bones. Gently bring your low back towards the floor. What happens to the area under your hands? The two bones probably feel like they are moving up towards your ribs. Now, arch the low back away from the floor. What do your hands do now? They probably feel like they are moving further away from the ribs.
Come into a tall kneeling position with your hands still on your two front hip bones. Can you make the same motion in this position, letting the area under your hands move towards your ribs and then away from your ribs? Can you feel how the pelvis is moving around the femur. Go ng back and forth a few times, clarifying how it feels to move the pelvis in isolation.
You can do the same thing in a variety of positions, isolating movement at the pelvis and coming one step closer to realizing your twerking skills.
Your Pelvis While SittingNow that you can feel your pelvis moving in a variety of positions, let’s return to how all of this works in the sitting position.
If you sit down and promptly feel your pelvis roll backward, rounding your low back, sit on a blanket, book, or very small step. Can you prevent your pelvis from rolling backward in the slightly elevated position? If the answer is yes, this will make a good starting position. If you still feel your pelvis rolling backward and you can’t seem to prevent it, prop yourself up a little bit higher. The props are temporary and are tools that enable you to feel what pure hip flexion feels like and allow you to get comfortable and build the necessary strength and motor control to translate the motion to other positions.
What does it mean to not roll your pelvis backward?
What does this feel like? Where does the weight shift in the pelvis? Can you feel how you roll in front of your sitting bones, even if it’s just a little bit? And does your torso move a little bit closer to your thighs?
Go back and forth between the two positions a few times, just feeling what happens in the pelvis and how where your torso goes. Allow the torso to go the same direction as the pelvis, so you aren’t arching or rounding your back- it’s like the entire unit is being moved one direction or the other. Think about what’s happening at your hip joints as you do this- you are flexing at the hip when you move the pelvis forward.
Now that you have an idea of how to isolate and feel the pelvis during a seated position, it’s time to build up endurance in the position. This, really, is all flexibility is- the ability to hold a particular position or shape comfortably, for a set amount of time. How much flexibility you need depends on your goals. All of us can benefit from being comfortable on the floor, so I will stick with the example of the legs long in front, spread a bit apart.
Own Your Pelvic PositionIn order to really own the position, you need to be able to hang out there. If simply sitting with your legs long in front of you is a challenge with your pelvis not rolled back, then start there. Remember to prop yourself up on something if you don’t quite have the strength to prevent the pelvis from rolling back. Set a timer for three minutes. Play with movement. You can roll the pelvis back and forth a little bit, roll the knees in and out, point the toes away from you and towards you, throw a ball, reach your arms in different directions. The possibilities are endless, but the goal remains the same: stay in the position.
Once that becomes comfortable (and it will if you practice this regularly), begin to explore the possibilities of folding forward. Remember, the movement initiates at the pelvis. In the video below, you see I start with my torso fairly vertical. As time goes on, I become more horizontal with the ground. The way I do this is by revisiting the idea that the movement comes from the pelvis. Once the pelvis rolls forward a little bit to a new position, I stay there, either statically, or doing something. At the end of one minute, I am a lot closer to the ground than when I started.

HIIT Reductio is Better Than Nothing, Much Better
https://ift.tt/2sh8TcT Limited research has examined exactly how inactive people perceive high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Matthew Stork, a PhD candidate in the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at UBC's Okanagan campus, recently completed a study comparing inactive people's feelings and enjoyment of HIIT to traditional long-duration aerobic exercise.
"The number one cited barrier to physical activity is a perceived lack of time, and research has shown that as little as 10 minutes of HIIT, three times per week can elicit meaningful health benefits," says Stork. "The concern is that short bursts of intense exercise may be perceived as unpleasant, especially for those who aren't physically active to begin with."
Stork wanted to know how people felt about their high-intensity exercise experience both during and after their sessions. He also hoped to determine whether feelings, ranging from pleasure to displeasure, during a HIIT session could predict the likelihood of completing the same exercise outside of the lab.
"We wanted to learn more about people's perceptions towards HIIT and ultimately determine if even inactive people are willing to do these types of exercises on their own free time," says Stork. "There's research evidence showing that negative feelings experienced during traditional forms of exercise, like going for a long run, can lower your likelihood of completing that exercise again in the future. We anticipated the same would be true for HIIT, but as it turns out, it's not so simple."
To test his idea, Stork and his team recruited 30 inactive men and women who had never tried HIIT before. Each participant completed high intensity and traditional moderate intensity exercise on a stationary bike in the lab. They measured how the participants felt on a multi-point pleasure-displeasure scale throughout the activity. Each participant was also asked to log any exercise they completed on their own during the following four weeks.
"We found that participants reported equal levels of enjoyment and preferences for HIIT in comparison to traditional exercise, despite experiencing feelings of displeasure during the higher intensity exercise," says Stork. "Importantly, 79 percent of participants reported completing HIIT on their own, outside of the lab."
Stork says his study should give hope to those who struggle to fit exercise into their busy lives. He found that inactive people who tried the high-intensity exercise for the first time found it just as enjoyable as traditional exercise. "Many people want to give up on exercise because they don't feel that they have enough time. However, HIIT may be a viable, time-efficient exercise option, even for inactive people who have never tried it before."

5 Tips for a Stronger Deadlift
https://ift.tt/2KQ8RjA
The deadlift is an amazing exercise and one that you should include in your strength training routine if you want to add slabs of granite-hard muscle to your body from head-to-toe, strengthen your posterior chain, and increase athletic performance. In fact, there may be no better exercise for working the hamstrings, glutes, entire back, and grip, and for making you bigger, faster, and stronger
So, with that said, here are five tips for a stronger deadlift:
1. Work on Your TechniqueIt doesn’t matter whether you decide to deadlift conventional or sumo - you must work on your technique. The reason why you must work on your technique is that bad technique will lead to weakness and injury. Two things you want to avoid, right?
On the other hand - good technique will lead to stronger deadlifts and a much lower injury risk. Two things you definitely want.
So before you load up the weight and go heavy on your deads, spend a few weeks mastering the basics. Regardless of whether you deadlift conventional or sumo, here are some key tips:
2. Train ExplosivelyYou may find it hard to believe, but I rarely train anywhere near my maximum in the gym. For proof, consider the fact that I’ve pulled 1,008lbs in competition, yet I’ve never gone over 900lbs in training. Instead of maxing out, most of my training is done with sub-maximal weights, pulling doubles and triples as fast as possible, whilst always maintaining perfect form. Most of my training lifts are around 500-700lbs.
Let’s say you have a max deadlift of 400lbs - a respectable lift for a man weighing 200lbs. If I was training you in person, you’d do a ton of doubles and triples with 200 to 280lbs and occasionally we’d go a little heavier. Every eight to twelve weeks you’d test your max and only after a new max would you then increase your training weights.
3. Warm UpBefore hitting the fast doubles and triples with 50-70% of your max, you must warm up. Most guys don’t do this and it’s asking for trouble. When you warm up properly, you’ll not only decrease your injury-risk - you’ll also increase your performance. A pretty good return on investment, I’m sure you’ll agree.
Assuming you have a 400lbs maximum, here’s how a good workout could look, including warm up sets:
Remember to pull every rep as explosively as possible, without sacrificing your form.
4. Decrease The Range Of Motion
Deadlifting from just below knee height can be done using a power rack, rubber mats, or wooden blocks and has several benefits:
Sets of 3-8 reps work well.
5. Do Some Assistance ExercisesThere are many additional exercises that you can use to help to build your deadlift. We call these assistance exercises. Here are some of the best:
So there you have it - five big tips for a bigger deadlift. Use them wisely and you’ll pull a personal best very soon!

How Your Mouth Can Be an Indicator of Brain Health

What does your mouth have to tell you about yourbrain health? Surprisingly, quite a bit, according to Steven Lin, D.D.S., author of The Dental Diet. While the causes of Alzheimer’s aren’t completely clear, one contributing factor may be a lack of oxygen to the brain, says Lin. “The early signals of the brain’s lack of oxygen can be picked up in your mouth, including bleeding gums and periodontal disease,” he notes. “Bleeding gums are also a sign of digestive inflammation, and we can draw a direct line from the mouth [gingivitis] to inflammatory signals to the brain.” [RELATED1] Oral health problems like upper-airway resistance can also cause sleep apnea, which has its own direct link to Alzheimer’s, adds Lin. Sleep apnea, which involves pauses in breathing throughout the sleep cycle, may starve the brain of oxygen and damage the parts that manage blood pressure, balance, and memory. Your best bet, according to Lin: Focus on maintaining a healthy diet to reduce inflammation and seek treatment for poor sleep and sleep disorders to curb your overall risk.

The Memorial Day 'Murph' WOD to Test Your Grit and Honor America's Armed Forces
https://ift.tt/2IOju69

Run a mile. Do 100 pullups, 200 pushups, and 300 squats. Then run another mile. That’s Murph. Arguably CrossFit’s most famous (or infamous) WOD, Murph is the ultimate test of cardio endurance, bodyweight strength, and sheer mental fortitude. Getting through 100 pullups alone is impossible for many hardened gym-goers, let alone running a mile after 300squats. And on the elite level, when athletes wear a 20-pound weight vest during the entire workout and do each set of calisthenics in sequence, Murph demands Herculean levels of fitness. “This is a really hard workout,” says Dan Wells, C.P.T. (NCSA), CrossFit Level 2 trainer, owner/coach at CrossFit Horsepower in Los Angeles, and a competitor at the 2015 CrossFit Games. “For most folks, it’s longer than a 10K race, but harder.” [RELATED1] Murph also appeals to a slightly wider audience than do most CrossFit workouts. “I like that it’s sort of available to everybody,” Wells says. “All you need is a bar to hang from.” The running and calisthenics shift the advantage away from tank-sized weightlifters and toward lighter, more patient athletes who can whip through bodyweight exercises with an economy of motion and a minimum of psychological stress. “You see this in the decathlon, too,” says Dr. Michael Joyner, M.D., an avid endurance athlete and a specialist in endurance exercise at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. “Big power athletes like sprinters and throwers just fall apart in the 1500-meter run, while leaner, rangier athletes succeed.” Like all of CrossFit’s so-called Hero WODs, which are named in honor of U.S. servicemen who died in action, Murph is named after Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a Navy SEAL who was killed in Afghanistan in 2005, and posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. (Murphy’s story was portrayed in the Mark Wahlberg film Lone Survivor.) Murphy often did the workout while wearing body armor—hence the 20-pound vest and the workout’s original name, “Body Armor.” SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy, from Patchogue, New York poses in Afghanistan. Murphy was killed by enemy forces during a reconnaissance mission, Operation Red Wing, June 18, 2005, while leading a four-man team tasked with finding a key Taliban leader in the mountainous terrain near Asadabad, Afghanistan. (Photo: Getty Images) In a nod to those roots, Murph has become something of a Memorial Day tradition for CrossFit, as masochists gather in their boxes to salute America’s armed forces with the grueling endurance workout, followed by (presumably paleo) barbecues. A quick Google search for ‘Memorial Day Murph’ yields events across the U.S., plus the official Murph Challenge, which was founded by Murphy’s parents to raise money for a scholarship fund in his name. Yet despite—or, perhaps, because of—its difficulty, Murph has even been making its way into the fitness mainstream. The New York Sports Club location in Astoria, Queens, is hosting its inaugural Murph on Memorial Day for both members and non-members, and donating signup fees to the Wounded Warrior Project. [RELATED2] Ethan Baum, C.E.S., C.P.T. (NASM), a master trainer at NYSC who’s completed Murph a few times, first suggested adopting CrossFit’s Memorial Day tradition in an effort to honor veterans; he’ll be wearing a weight vest this year. “We get a lot of feedback from non-CrossFit athletes and other members about Murph, most of it positive, because it’s for charity,” says Baum, who is also a certified Level 1 CrossFit coach. NYSC is an ideal testbed: The gym already hosts a “Bravest & Finest” workout inspired by New York City’s police and fire academy training, and this year’s Murph coincides with an influx of active-duty personnel for the city’s annual Fleet Week. And while Murph is hardly a stroll through the park, its red, white, and blue roots seem to ensure it has staying power. “It’s an amazing celebration of the armed forces and people who have died for our country,” Wells says. “It’s my oldest son’s birthday, and he can finally do pushups and pullups now. So I’m going to put on a 30-pound vest, and my son and I are going to do it together.” [RELATED3]

Gronk's Horse Opened With 69-1 Odds to Win the Belmont Stakes, Because of Course It Did
https://ift.tt/2IO5s4s

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is famous for his many exploits, from his work on the field to his tendency to party just as hard as he trains. But one of Gronk's more hilarious headline-earners is his love of the number 69. So when the horse Gronk part-owns, Gronkowski (yes, that's the horse's name too), opened with 69-1 odds to win the Belmont stakes on the betting site Bovada, we couldn't help but get a little suspicious. [RELATED1] The odds have gone down a bit since they opened on Wednesday, but there are screenshots of the 69-1 odds floating around.
There's no word from Gronk yet on the incredibly appropriate odds, presumably because he's too busy getting pumped for Shark Week.
Although he hasn't commented, we'd guess that those odds brought him pure joy, as everything 69-related does. Keep an eye out for Gronkowski (the horse, and possibly the man) on June 9 at the Belmont Stakes. [RELATED2]

I Raced Up a Ski Jump, and It Was Everything I Didn't Expect It to Be
https://ift.tt/2s5qhli
Fixed Focus Photography
As a general rule, I don't like to run. Sure, I do it to supplement the rest of my workout routine, but I wouldn't call myself a runner. That being said, when I was presented with the opportunity to run a 400-meter race up a ski jump, I just couldn't pass up the challenge. And as I’d later find, “run” is a curious way to describe what I’d be doing. When I decided to run the Red Bull 400, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. After all, it’s a basic concept—run, preposterously, up a giant ramp. I’d seen some ski jumping hills on TV during the winter Olympics. They’re steep, but they’re not impossible-to-scale steep. Or so I naively assumed, before ever setting eyes on one in person. For this particular edition of the Red Bull 400—there are 17 races this year—the giant ramp in question was a monstrosity in Ironwood, MI, called Copper Peak. While most ski jumps are built into mountains, Copper Peak is basically a 241-foot tall iron tower in the middle of the woods. It’s the biggest artificial ski jump in the world, and the steepest Red Bull 400 event. Here it is, in all its glory: Courtesy of Red Bull Take a look at that thing. At this moment, it is important to make a confession: I am absolutely terrified of heights. But for some reason—despite the strong possibility that I’d be terrified at the top, and a lingering concern that I’d literally end up in tears because of that height—I thought running the race would be a fun, unique challenge. [RELATED1] With about three months to get ready, I spoke with the brains behind the entire concept, Andreas Berger, who also happens to be a former Olympic sprinter. His advice: You can’t really train for it specifically, because there’s nothing like running a ski jump. But running hills would definitely help, he told me. Not very encouraging, but helpful nonetheless. So I made a point to run intervals on the tallest hill in my town a few times a week. I incorporated more stair climbing into my routine. I also ran to boost my cardio base, since my workouts typically veer on the side of straight-up lifting. The last thing I wanted to do was get to the top, pass out from exhaustion, and then wake up staring at the ground hundreds of feet below, since the stairs on this monster of a ski jump are all metal grates. (Because of course they are). Running up local hills, I tried to tell myself that the course wouldn’t be too bad. At this point, everyone was telling me that the race looked borderline impossible. I had to at least try to tell myself otherwise. Until the day before the race. Until I saw the course in person. Most photos of Copper Peak show it from above, surrounded by gorgeous Michigan fall foliage like a mythical beast. In person, both the hill itself and the iron tower looked impossibly huge, and the hill was less of a gradual slope and more of a... wall. This wasn't a run, it was a climb. [RELATED2] On the morning we were set to run, I did not feel any better. More than 400 people had come out to run up this massive jump. Even those who weren’t running showed up. (Because hey, what isn't entertaining about watching a horde of people haul ass up a ski slope?) I gained a new respect for the locals who’d signed up, because they actually knew what they were up against. Had I seen it in person beforehand, I would’ve thought twice about running it. By the time I stood at the starting line with my group, I was a nauseous ball of nerves. I couldn’t take my eyes off the peak of the hill as the starter counted down from 10, and as the gun went off, my heart was already racing. The race was a paradox of sorts: Not only would the running itself hurt, I was afraid to reach the top. Finishing was barely a consolation. It was merely trading pain for fear. And that's saying something, because from beginning to end, this race is hard. I thought it would be possible to run up at least the grassy hill leading up to the ski jump, but no. As soon as I hit the hill, I found myself shoving my hands into the dirt and climbing. (Pro tip: Wear gloves.) Even though netting covered the hill, it was a shock to my shoulders. By the time I made it to the base of the jump, I decided to take a quick water break before even attempting it. I am not kidding. Shockingly, my legs felt fine. I thought I’d be feeling it in my quads, glutes, and hamstrings, but I guess my lifting regimen pulled through for me. My lungs, however, were definitely feeling the burn. And aside from the physical, I was completely psyched out by the idea of getting to the top of the tower. [RELATED3] Whatever. Off I went. Once again, I found myself not running, but climbing. This was especially problematic, because I could see the ground through cracks in the wood for the entirety of the ascent. My solution was to look up, which I had been told multiple times to avoid. And somehow, I (eventually) made it to the top. As I scrambled across the finish line and stood up, I was shocked—not at my exhaustion, but that I was decidedly not afraid. In fact, as I looked out over the seemingly never-ending Michigan forest, I felt anything but terror. From Lake Superior stretching into the distance to the mountains still holding on to some last bits of snow, the landscape took whatever breath I had to spare. I casually made my way down the tower, finding my lungs again and confronting the reality that my calves would definitely be sore in the coming days. In the end, the race had lived up to my expectations and then some. And in all honesty, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. From the welcoming, unbelievably friendly local crowd to the sense of achievement once the race was over, it was a unique and unforgettable experience.

Watch: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Gets (Very, Very) High in the New Trailer for ‘Skyscraper’
https://ift.tt/2J3cC85
Universal Pictures
When The Rock tells you a building isn’t safe, you trust The Rock. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is looking to ride the wave of success from his recent action blockbusters with his latest outing, Skyscraper. In it, he plays Will Ford, a war veteran and former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader who retires after he almost dies in a mission gone awry. Now an amputee, he has settled into the comparatively low-key role of family man and guy who asses security for skyscrapers. Something tells us he’s about to be forced out of retirement. His latest assignment is assessing the security of a massive luxury high-rise in Hong Kong known as the Pearl. He warns the owner that there is a glaring security issue, but of course he’s ignored, and it all goes south from there. That is to say, it goes up—240 stories up, to be precise. The Rock is forced to go rogue to rescue his family who are trapped in the building, which is now under attack by a group of organized criminals looking to steal something very valuable. The Rock recently shared a new extended trailer for the film, and the title being a little on-the-nose aside, it looks like a lot of fun akin to Die Hard and True Lies. Watch the new extended trailer here and catch it in theaters on July 13.
