GlibFit 4.0 – Halloween Hangover
I am guessing I am not the only Glib still “making their way” through leftover Halloween candy. Let us make a virtue out of necessity by considering the benefits of chocolate.

GlibFit 4.0 – Rowing
Rowing, otherwise known as crew, is just what it sounds like. We have all seen the pictures of one, two, or eight preppies in a really thin boat sitting low on the water. If you get ESPN 8 (“The Ocho”) you might have seen it live just before you fell asleep.

GlibFit 4.0 – Halloween Is Kicking My Ass
Happy Halloween Glibs! If you are like me, this may be the most dangerous time of year when it comes to eating. I’m a sucker for leftover Halloween candy, if it’s chocolate. All the other crap I can easily throw in the garbage. But heaven help me if it’s dark chocolate or chocolate with peanuts.

I wonder if some of the claims about foods having nearly magical health benefits is true.

I’m putting together a plan to get more serious about my lifting, eating, and sleeping. I’m 29 years old, aware of my age, and gaining muscle is not getting easier.

GlibFit 4.0 – Your Ass
Strengthening your butt is a key ingredient in eliminating lower back pain. Obviously, if you have something structural, like scoliosis, you have a different reason for lower back problems. For most people who feel it in their lower back, “spinal” exercises are not the key to eliminating the pain. Working your butt is.

GlibFit 4.0 – Do I Make You Sore, Baby?
Ever wonder why your muscles get sore after exercising? All I was ever taught is when you lift weights, you get tiny tears in your muscles. Those tears “knit” back together making your muscles stronger. Surely there is something more to it, isn’t there?

GlibFit 4.0 – Inside or Outside?
After years of working out solely inside, I had about three seasons of working out in the great outdoors. The contrast has given me perspective. For gym work, I like being outside if I get to the gym early and the equipment I need is outside. Aerobic work I much prefer to do outside. I like the changing scenery and feeling of motion from running.
