BodyBuilder Legend Lee Labrada Wants You To Get In Shape This Fourth of July

July 4, 2011 by FatGuy

We interviewed legendary body builder Lee Labrada and he immediately asked us to be his friend on Facebook at Labrada Nutrition. He said that there is a great free 12 week training program on there. So after we did that he told some behind the scenes stories about the early years of bodybuilding with Arnold and the gang. He was pretty emphatic that those body building competitions are nothing like beauty pageants. There are pranks and the competitors took that stuff pretty seriously. In order to compete at the highest levels you had to train and eat right 24/7 – which requires a tremendous amount of self discipline.

And Lee shared some fitness tips to help get you in shape. He said that humans are meant to move so stay active every day. He also said that to opt for lean meats and keep your stress levels low.Dr Fitness and Lee talked about the benefits of high intensity training for both cardio and strength training in order to get your muscles to failure. Lee recently decided to get back in fighting shape in order to pose for a photo shoot in Muscle Magazine to celebrate his 51st birthday

Lee’s story is another great immigrant rags to riches story which is perfect to listen to this Indpendence Day.

Workout Shoe Tips

June 29, 2011 by FatGuy

Here are a couple of quick tips to help you get the most out of your workout shoes.

It’s important to choose the right shoe for the right workout. One way to hurt yourself is to use the wrong shoe for the wrong sport. It’s not a good idea to regularly go running in tennis shoes. Tennis shoes are built to support your foot while playing tennis and running shoes are built to help you run.

Another common mistake people make is to wait too long to throw away their shoes. Just because the shoe looks okay from the outside doesn’t mean you should keep using it – when all the foam and cushiony stuff that supports your foot degrades it’s time to toss those shoes. Dr Fitness gets new running shoes each month because he runs everyday.
