Bodyweight versus Weightlifting

One of the greatest questions that we face in this age of fitness. Do you prefer endless repetitions of dumbell lifting trying to perfect the form or panting and sweating caused by endless amounts of burpees? I personally like bodyweight exercises opposed to weightlifting, even tough the weightlifting programs also include cardio to some extent, they are nowhere close to bodyweight programs. It is clearly seen that weightlifting is easily surpasses bodyweight exercises in bulking or Hulking up as I like to call it. But it seems to rely so much on protein bars, shakes etc, and since it creates the muscle faster it also seems to go away faster, making you lose your fitness after prolonged times of non-exercise periods. What's your take on this?

Tribute to Nelson Mandela

Another pic that I took while I was in Paris shortly after Nelson Mandela's untimely death. I thought paying respect to one of the most influential leaders of 21st century is important.

Après Party Wine Granita

One of the things that really bugs me is leftover drinks, or wine for that matter, after a party. Below is a recipe for granita that can be made by using after party drinks. You can also add a little ice cream on top of the granita to make it more appealing! Recipe below, and this makes about 2-3 cups. --Ingredients-- 1 cup red/white wine or rosé or even beer but the beer should be a pilsner 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water 3 tablespoons sugar

Duolingo anyone using it?

I was browsing GoogleApp a couple weeks back and saw widely endorsed Duolingo app that has been recommended to me by some mates. I tried out the French course and found it efficient to easily remember some forgotten words. Then I started using the Spanish course which I had no prior knowledge of. I progressed to about half of the module and it seems that it is really flowing. I think it is a really good at learning a new language and can be really reinforced by podcasts or some entry-level audio books probably the most crucial element that is missing is speaking. Are there any fellow Duolingo-ers(?) out there?

Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwiches

What's better than a doughnut and ice cream? Doughnut Ice Cream sandwiches. Recipe inside. Doughnuts Ice Cream( a bit softened) Coating Slice the doughnuts in half. Scoop the softened ice cream on the bottom half of the donut. The trick is to use normal spoons instead of ice cream spoons because you want flattened ice cream. Place the top half of the doughnut on top of the ice cream and place in the freezer while you make the coating.
