The Fast Food and Chain Restaurant Epidemic

The Fast Food and Chain Restaurant Epidemic

Posted by on Apr 12, 2012 in Diet It UP, Health It UP

It’s incredible how ignorant America is when it comes to fast food and chain restaurant nutrition. The majority of food/drinks at Starbucks, PF Changs, Outback, Olive Garden, etc. are atrociously unhealthy, yet we continue to send money their way. We’ve got a fast food and chain restaurant epidemic…

Do you have any idea what’s really in the food you’re eating at a baseball stadium?

Day 2: Iron Gym Xtreme — The 12 Days of Holiday Fitness Gifts

Posted by on Apr 11, 2012 in Fitness Product Reviews, Gear It UP

I’m normally 100% skeptical of all “as seen on TV” fitness gadgets, as the majority are honestly complete crap and a total waste of money. The Uroclub…really…? The one exception I’ve found? The Iron Gym Xtreme. This contraption is an unassuming beast. For sub $30 you get a beyond easy-to-install, full body powerhouse. It’s literally the only fitness gadget that’ll actually get ripped like the stud muffin on the front of the box. I have one and I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE it. Unlike...

Where Do YOU Take a Sheet!?

Where Do YOU Take a Sheet!?

Posted by on Apr 11, 2012 in Supp It UP, Supplement Reviews

It’s no secret that the energy drink industry is a behemoth…and I’m talking about a behemoth worth nearly $42 BILLION in global annual revenue. A ton of companies are entering the extremely lucrative “energy” space and developing innovative new ways to deliver powerful jolts of energy to sleep deprived, party-hardy, excitement-seeking consumers. Recently I’ve seen these little energy strips—highly reminiscent of Listerine Pocket Pack Breath Strips—called “Sheets” pop up all over the internet, in NYC, and in Vitamin Shoppe’s/GNC’s everywhere....

MMA Fighter B.J. Penn Jumps Out of a 3-Foot Pool…With No Hands (Waka Flaka!)

Posted by on Apr 10, 2012 in Muscle It UP, Videos

Today I have an absolutely INSANE video of MMA fighter B.J. Penn jumping out of a 3-foot pool…with no hands. The amount of lower body strength, power, and explosiveness to jump clean out of that much water is pretty much unreal. I’ve really never seen anything like it before…enjoy.

Yum…Taco Bell Meat Contains Only 35% Beef, 57% Fat

Posted by on Apr 10, 2012 in Diet It UP, Eating Out, News

Honestly, it was pretty obvious that Taco Bell wasn’t serving high quality beef in it’s products. Lets be serious…it’s Taco Bell. What’s actually surprising though is that Taco Bell’s “seasoned beef” is not only fatty as hell, but it’s barely beef at all.

Cough Drops Could Be Making You Fat

Posted by on Apr 10, 2012 in Diet It UP, Health It UP

Walk into any CVS and you’ll see a colorful collection of cough drops. I doubt many people even think about reading the ingredients or nutrition facts on cough drops…typically you wouldn’t think of them as “food,” but rather as medicine. It’s amazing how much sugar, artificial ingredients, and other unhealthy ingredients they can pack into a small, seemingly healthy cough drop…
