FitCast Accountability Blog (3/3/10)
It is so weird, but I love getting these Accountability Blogs on Sunday night and Monday morning. Each and every week I am seeing some tremendous progress from everyone. No, not everyone is dropping 5 pounds or a belt notch each week, but there is at lease some growth in their ability to reach their goals. For some it is just winning the battle against pizza at work. For others it was just the fact that they made it to the gym three days that week. For some it might not sound... Read More
Destination Abs Finale
Finish Him!!! Alright folks, time to finish thing thing off. The last few weeks I was lax with my diet. Psychologically I needed a break. I was dealing with a lot of real world stuff, but that is no excuse. After that vacation from dieting, I am ready for the home stretch. Leigh and I have it planned for 80 days. 80 Days until Abs. After those 80 days, this isn’t over, I still have muscle to build and bench/deadlift/squat numbers to increase.And no, that isn’t... Read More

Destination Abs: Week 4 (End of Phase One)
By: Kevin Larrabee, CSCS Whew…There goes four weeks of intense fat-loss. This was easily the most drastic transformation my body has made since I dropped the initial 35 pounds when I was in high school. Was it as big of a number in terms of pounds? No. But the transformation in the mirror was pretty major. Wow, I can’t believe I made it four weeks. I think the biggest supporting factor was posting on TheFitCast.com each week and receiving comments from you and having... Read More
Top 5 Fruits

Wild Mixed Berries – (blue, rasp,... Read More
