The fitness industry is in the midst of a renaissance. Flawed and dated strategies like sedentary recovery practices or overly stressful HIIT workouts are being replaced with cutting-edge practices that offer more efficiency and return on investment. Today I’m covering one emerging fitness strategy: performing brief feats of strength in the routine course of a day. Let’s call them microworkouts. I’m talking here about dropping for a single set of deep squats in the office, hitting a set of max effort pull-ups whenever you pass under a bar in a closet doorway, or stocking your backyard with a hex deadlift bar or bench press and busting out a single set every time you pass by while taking out the garbage. Banking Benefits With Less Stress Micro-workouts deliver two distinct and awesome benefits: First, when you add up the energy expenditure of these brief but frequent efforts, you obtain an incredible cumulative training effect . In essence, you are banking a lot of strength/power/ex...

A little big for my lap, but never too old!! My big boy comes home today!! We have missed him so much. When I wrote about reading more last month a few of you suggested that you schedule reading times WITH your older kids where you both read your own books. I thought this was a genius idea!! A win-win for new readers and old readers alike. Bedtime Lasts Forever Bedtime in our house is always quite the process. We first get Birch to sleep (after bath, nursing, stories, songs) and then we work on Mazen. He has always been a “give an inch take a mile” kinda boy, so bedtime can sometimes take a loooong time. “One more book. Scratch my back. I need water. I need a snack. Another book please. One more kiss.” It’s a sweet time of day, so I think that’s why so many parents have trouble with the final kiss goodnight. Mazen has also never loved settling down to sleep, and I think that’s because he really doesn’t like being alone! (I’m realizing this is a big difference between Mazen and B...

For today’s edition of Dear Mark, I’m answering a question about the different forms of vitamin K2. Everyone knows the importance of vitamin K2—at least around these parts—but very few understand the differences between the various forms of vitamin K2. What are the respective benefits of vitamin K1, vitamin K2 MK-4, and vitamin MK-7? Where can we find each one? Let’s find out: Hi Mark, Have you ever done an in-depth look at the differences between vitamin K2 MK-4 and MK-7? No. I’ll do one now. For those who don’t know, vitamin K2 comes in many different forms called menaquinones. MK-4 and MK-7 are the most important menaquinones. Pretty much all the vitamin K2 you’ll encounter in foods and in supplements is either MK-7 or MK-4 (or both), so these are the ones we most care about. There are also ones like MK-11 and MK-10, but we don’t know as much about them. What we do know seems to suggest they act a lot like MK-7. Whatever the case, they’re good. What Are the General Benefits...

This post is sponsored by Argentine Yerba Mate These overnight oats are lightly caffeine infused thanks to an overnight soak in Yerba Mate tea. Don’t skip the honey – it’s key to balance out the tea’s earthy flavor and adds sweetness to the crunchy pistachio and coconut toppings. Yerba Energy + Sweet Crunch I had been dreaming up an infused overnight oats recipe with yerba mate for summertime. You know that book When You Give A Mouse A Cookie? My brain kept cycling through the same train of thoughts between yerba mate, honey, and pistachios. Maybe because the yerba mate leaves are green and would match the pistachios? Or maybe because I always drizzle a little honey in my yerba and when I think of honey I also think of pistachios! (Because of baklava I suppose!) So that makes yerba mate + honey + pistachios the three musketeers of this recipe. For even more crunch, I added toasted coconut on top! Sip That Yerba Argentine Yerba Mate is a rich source of antioxidants (with leve...

When it comes to side dishes, simple is best. A list of ingredients you can count on one hand is the way I like to do it. This dish delivers on ease and offers plenty of solid nutrition and great Primal taste. Cooking up great flavor starts with quality ingredients, for sure, but don’t underestimate the power of a great sauce or seasoning—and the right cooking method. Roasting vegetables is one of the surest ways to bring out a richer, deeper taste. Brussels sprouts work great for this. Add some balsamic and bacon, and you’ve got an amazing side for any meaty main course. Bacon & Balsamic Brussels Sprouts Servings: 2 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 20-25 minutes Ingredients: 14 Brussels sprouts 1/4 cup Primal Kitchen® Avocado Oil Salt & pepper to taste 3 strips cooked bacon 1/3 cup Primal Kitchen Balsamic Dressing Optional: 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 ºF. Cut the ends off of the Brussels sprouts  and then slice in halv...
