So Easy, A Caveman Could Do It?

Summertime is around the corner and like myself, I'm sure many of you guys out there wanna lose a couple of pounds before hitting the beaches, but you have no idea how to do it. Dozens of magazines claim that they have the answer, but let's face it, if they did, would they need to keep updating their monthly issues with different diet plans and workout routines? I think not. So I did some searching online and I came across a blog that had an interesting post on the topic of diet and exercise. Created by Mike O’Donnell, a professional fitness coach and trainer, his routine is mirrored after the lifestyles of cavemen, yes cavemen. He claims that back then, they didn't die of diabetes, suffer from osteoporosis, or any other diseases that plague our modern society. He breaks it down,claiming that cavemen lifted heavy things, never relied on straps or braces, sprinted and walked for survival, and ate plenty of natural foods. Before you start thinking that you have to give up your laptop, cell phone, and walk around barefoot, he gives us advice on how to use these tips in modern society. He recommends lifting heavy, keeping sets to 5-10 reps, running intervals, as in switching off between sprinting/walking. He says that you should adopt a "lifestyle cardio" type of activity like hiking, dancing, or some kind of martial art if you have the time. He also claims that you should workout without the assistance of gloves, straps, or braces in order to AVOID injuring yourself. Well worth the read, I'd recommend checking it out before beginning your diet plan for the summer.
