Spice it Up!

In the past four months my body has accelerated from a malnurished looking 150 pounds to an almost superhuman 205 pounds as a result of a combination of Remicade injections that miraculously healed my large intestine, wiping out all symptoms of crohns disease, which afforded the opportunity for proper nutrient absorbtion and a fairly rigorous exercize routine.
In the last three months I gained enough strength and endurance to a point where I could expand my training to the speed bag, heavy bag, and alternating between running on the indoor track and the treadmill. I also performed a lot of benching on the Hammer Strength machine, traditional squats, and from time-to-time I performed the “Bear” routine, which is a combination of dead lifting, squats and military press. In the last few weeks I’ve also incorporated a new routine called YTWL as seen below.
Unfortunately, even though I’ve gained over 50 pounds of mass through advanced training in combination with miraculous health recovery I’ve also gained a gutt because my cardio program has become all but nonexistent in comparison to what I used to do when I lived in Palm Beach. Going from 22 mile mountain bike riding treks up and down A1A once a week to 15 to 20 minutes about every other day on the treadmill has become an enormous problem. With the time constraints of working on my doctorate, taking care of my partially paralysed mom, and working at two job sites it’s going to be hard to put enough cardio time in to return my physique to more leaner proportions. But I’m going to get it done — period.
While on a late night web crawling excursion I came across an awe inspiring article about the former British girl band pop star, Melannie Brown a.k.a. Scarey Spice.
Spice Girl singer Mel B is offering up advice on how to get a rock-hard body like hers, and it doesn’t include a strenuous gym regime, Pilates or plastic surgery. Instead, the 34-year-old former ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestant, whose real name is Melanie Brown, confessed to Britain’s Grazia magazine that the intimate time she spends with her husband, Stephen Belafonte, is the reason behind her toned physique.
“I’m honestly not body-obsessed,” she told the glossy. “I can’t be with three kids and a husband. My husband likes my muscles, but then he’s seen me every which way over the past eight years, including when I put on 42 pounds after my last pregnancy, and he always loves my body.”
“In fact, on top of all my exercise, I have sex with him five times a day — maybe that has something to do with it,” she continued. —BlackVoices
Of course I don’t believe one ounce of Brown’s so-called confession to sexual escapades with her man 5 times a day being one of the reasons for her rock hard body.
If there’s one dude that has a healthy lifestyle its me. But I don’t have the time or the desire to have sex that much. Even back in the day I didn’t see the kind of results Mel proclaims to have gotten from knockin’ boots on the regular, particularly, after a pregnancy, and I was working out twice a day in the gym in addition to playing on the rugby team at my university. I don’t give a damn what kind of bullshit Mel feeds the media. I’m going to devise a new regimen to help return my physique to more leaner proportions. And do it within the time constraints of my daunting daily responsibilities.
After a little more research I found out her reason for lying about her miraculous physical metamorphosis. She’s only trying to push her new workout video. I’m not even going to waste my time posting a picture or the youtube video of Melanie Brown wasting time trying to pimp her new workout video on Ellen’s talkshow But I’ll tell you what’s up. No disrespect to Mel or her video but speaking as an experienced athlete, tossing around a couple of water bottles and cans of beans is not going to get you the kind of banging body she’s got and it sure as hell ain’t going to do the job of eliminating 55 pounds of fat gained after a pregnancy. You can get off that bullshit right now. But good luck to the sister in making a few bucks. Just seeing the picture of her glistening body has encouraged me to work harder at eliminating my gutt.
