    Muscle Fibers 101 & Goal-specific Training

    February 1, 2021 / No Comments

    Our bodies are composed of three types of skeletal muscle fibers: (1) Type I: slow-twitch, high endurance capacity; (2) Type IIa: fast-twitch, large, powerful, medium endurance capacity; and (3) Type IIb: fast-twitch, large, powerful, and easy-to-fatigue (sometimes called fight-or-flight muscle fibers). Your muscle fiber composition ratio is dependent on a muscle’s function, your age, your genetics, and – something you…

    Exercise, Training, or Ritual

    January 29, 2021 / No Comments

    Are you exercising, training, or performing rituals? You might consider the first two to be synonymous and the third, esoteric and totally foreign. However, I would argue that the first two are similar but distinct, and a lot of people might unintentionally be engaged in the third. Either way, I would argue that each are valuable and can play a…

    Cycling Will Not Make You Physically Fit

    September 24, 2020 / No Comments

    As cycling explodes in popularity, reflected by Peloton’s IPO, SoulCycle’s intended IPO, and Amazon semi-joining in, it’s important to know that cycling in itself does not build a well-rounded body. In fact, it does the opposite. Cycling is an example of exercises that break the body down, rather than build it up. And this is not primarily because of the…

    The Benefits of Running

    August 24, 2020 / No Comments

    Written by Aj of moccasinguru.com Running is one of the most popular sports around the globe and is something everyone’s, at least, somewhat familiar with. What many may not know are the numerous benefits that running offers us. This isn’t limited to physical rewards, either. When I first started running at a young age—before many of you were born—I thought…

    Is Walking Good Exercise?

    July 13, 2020 / No Comments

    Written by Aj of moccasinguru.com Walking is your body’s natural movement. To count as exercise, you should aim to walk at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes, at least four times a week. Pay attention to your posture and footwear choices, and always warm up and cool down after your walks. I’ll go through some of the benefits of…

    What is the Best Time of the Day to Exercise?

    June 28, 2020 / No Comments

    Written by Aj of moccasinguru.com The best time of the day to exercise is in the late morning, heading into noon. By this time, your testosterone levels—important in muscle building—have peaked. You’re also on your way to the peak of your alertness at noon. On a personal note this is also my own preferred time to exercise. I’m guilty of…

    Best Home Gym Equipment for COVID-19 Lockdown & Beyond

    March 25, 2020 / No Comments

    Spurred into a fitness equipment shopping frenzy by COVID-19 self-isolation orders, I’ve narrowed down some of the best equipment to purchase for living room, garage, or bedroom fitness. I stopped training exclusively at home over 10 years ago, and I sold all my equipment back then. But now that all gyms have closed because of national stay-at-home orders, I’m forced…
