Impromptu Day Date

Image
Hi, guys! I just landed in Austin a little while ago, but I wanted to share a quick recap of my impromptu “day date” with Mal yesterday. He had Monday off from school, but Quinn’s daycare was open, so we used it as an opportunity to hangout just the two of us. I mean, it was “free” childcare since we have to pay for it if he goes or not. And, well, childcare just gets expensive, especially when you go out for a nice meal and then need to pay a babysitter on top of that. I dunno why I’m rambling about this, but I’m envious of those of you who have family nearby to help out for free. Anyway… Our morning started like a lot of them do: Up and at ’em before the sun, iced coffee, breakfast, pug walk, and then getting ourselves ready for the day. After dropping Quinn at school, Mal and I headed to the gym for a workout. The workout started with box squats and then finished with a 12-minute AMRAP of Double-Unders, Wall Balls, and Ring Rows and Dips (for me). My lungs were on fire for this

Brad’s Morning Routine Video: Light Movement for More Energy and Better Flexibility

With two weeks of healthy eating and Primal adaptation under our belts in this post-New Year month, it’s a good week to talk fitness. (By the way, if you need a good primer covering the basics of Primal Blueprint fitness, this is a good place to begin. The New Primal Blueprint book offers an in-depth treatment, and you can learn more as well by browsing our hundreds of free  fitness articles on MDA.) Today, my long-time friend, fellow competitor, and writing partner, Brad Kearns, is showing you his morning movement routine. And it’s different than what you’d expect, I’d venture. This is no sweaty hour in the gym. Much of it, a series of dynamic stretches, you can do before you even get out of bed. Who’s willing to rethink their morning now? No, this won’t count as an intense workout, but it’s part of the low-level daily movement I suggest we should all be getting more of—the fundamental base of true Primal fitness. If you’re looking to operate from a higher baseline for a regu

Canned Wine Review: The Best And Worst

Image
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it! I got really into canned wines this summer, and it’s taken me this long to put a post together! Luckily, they are good year round! : ) Here are the reasons why I love wine in a can: It’s a single serving (most of the time). Sometimes I don’t want to open a whole bottle because a) I’m not going to drink it all and b) because I might  want to drink it all and need some portion control. I learned the hard (fun) way that some of these are actually 2+ servings, though! Cans don’t shatter, so they are pool, beach, and water safe. A little can is easier to transport than a big bottle (or a box!) I know there are good wine preservation air suckers, that boxed wine is the cheapest solution, and that the little resealable mini cartons are also good options to satisfy the above, so I’ll add for #4 that the cans are just fun! : ) It seems there are more cans coming to the market, so my friend Emily helped me shop around and procure a wide v
