Competition - Body By Science: Question and Answer Book


Ok this is a first for this blog.....a competition. By accident (doh!) I ordered 2 copies of this book from Amazon. Rather than return one, I thought I'd offer it as a prize to the readers of this blog.

There are no hard questions to answer, no quizes....




The rules:

  1. You must be a follower of this blog: just click on the follow button on the right hand side of this blog.
  2. Leave a comment on this post
  3. On 1 August, I will use a random number generator to pick one of those commenters - at random obviously - to win the book. I will then send you a message via the Google Follower system and get your address to send the book.

The bank is going to take the family farm and Ma does not have the money for that life saving operation she needs...but if I could just have that book, I think everything would be O.K.

Uh...I guess multiple entries don't trick the "random number generator." (Uh...is that a hat with little pieces of paper in it?)

What's the difference between following a blog on Google reader and clicking the Follow button and using Google? Well, now I'm doing both! I have the book on my Amazon wish list, so I'd LOVE to have a copy.

Fingers crossed, really enjoyed the Body by science book though more of a bodyweight/home excercise person than Doug McGuff's gym based concepts but still lots of great stuff, would love to see what this has got!

@guy - there is quite a bit in the book on rehab exercises for rotator cuff injuries.

I'd also suggest you check out my pal Colin's blog, or email him. He might be able to suggest some rehab approaches.

Dry January

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was taking part in "Dry January".  I didn't make a big song and dance about it, but I decided to go for a calendar month or so with no alcohol.  A few people have asked me about my experience, so here are a few points. Why take a break from drinking? Alcohol is an interesting topic.  As a drug it is widely accepted in society, central to so much of our socialising and leisure.  There seem to be lots of health benefits - so we are told - yet there are also a lot of problems in terms of health, relationships and lifestyle that come from drinking. Over a few years I'd begun to become aware and then concerned that I was drinking too much and too regularly.  I am in a busy and stressful job and sometimes a glass of wine after work to relax is really helpful.  But over time, one glass became two.  Two glasses became ....I might as well finish the bottle.  A habit got established....and was starting to get too e...

So where have I been?

You will have noticed that this blog has been quiet for a while....  There are a few reasons for that, reasons that I thought I'd list here: WORK -  my day job has been incredibly busy and stressful this year. Working 10-14 hour days the last thing on my mind when I got home was putting something on here.  FACEBOOK/TWITTER - I suppose I've been using other channels to do some of what I used to do here. Quick fire posts pointing to interesting studies or news etc tend to get posted to Twitter (@chrishighcock) or to the Facebook Hillfit group http://www.facebook.com/groups/263083947097000/  REASSESSMENT - I've found myself less comfortable with some of the positions I've taken in the past. Sometimes I'm embarrassed by some of the things I've promoted. I'm not Paleo or low carb. I think Tabata and intervals are misunderstood and misapplied. I cannot really claim to be HIT.   I find myselfunable  honestly to post things on here and pretend that I am some sort o...

Taking up space for a brief update

I've a couple of posts in draft that I will get up soon -  an update / reflection on Dry January and some thoughts on the scheduling benefits of short workouts if your life is busy.  Before that though, I am pointing to something else. However, I wanted to highlight something that is coming this weekend that I've been involved in.   Amber Rogers (Gokaleo and author of Taking Up Space ) has been pulling together a bundle of books from various authors with a common theme, one that I've been pushing here recently.   Keep it simple, avoid the hype, be patient, be consistent and flee the gurus.   I've talked before about how we get obsessed with pushing for more and more, when enough is OK.  I've given my view that so much of the health and fitness internet world is more like a gnostic religion than something that will benefit your life. There are other voices out there saying similar things and I'll be pointing to a bundle of books later this week ...
