Phi Life just launched

February 3rd, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

Brad Pilon and John Barban just launched a site called Phi Life which they describe like this:

PhiLife is a logical discussion about things you can do to effectively improve your health, well being, fitness (whatever that means) and overall life satisfaction.

The current podcast on the site talks about mixing up WHY with HOW and how this mixing up blurs the information available in the health and fitness industry.

It’s a good 40 minutes with the no-nonsense approach to health and fitness that I like about Brad and John

Commuter snacks vs. Kettlebell snatches

April 19th, 2009 by Henrik Flensborg

Another video with Craig Ballantyne doing Kettlebell snatches while trying to match the calories consumed by Brad Pilon going through a Starbuck Frappuccino and two brownies

Brad end up consuming a scary 1100 calories while Craig only manages a measly 50 calories during the 2 and a half minute battle.

The scary part is that it’s sooo easy to consume the enormous amount of calories in a very short time.

Grab a Frappuccino and brownies on your way to work, have the same going home and you’ll be looking at spending several hours in the gym just to prevent weight gain -- each day.

How about doing something sensible -- grab a bottle of water as you leave for work, bring a small container with a few slices of apple or maybe a handful of almonds so your workout can actually help you lose weight rather than just trying to prevent you from getting fatter.

Two more Diet vs. Exercise videos from Craig Ballantyne

April 12th, 2009 by Henrik Flensborg

2 more videos from Craig Ballantyne in his Diet vs. Exercise series.

The first one is just as obvious as the first video where Craig competed against Brad Pilon eating a pizza.

John easily wins over Craig with his burger, soda and french fries (or as Craig calls them -- edible cancer sticks)

The second battle is a bit more sneaky since Dan is consuming such a tiny amount of food

Diet vs Pizza

March 31st, 2009 by Henrik Flensborg

Craig Ballantyne just sent out a cool video that is both funny and very educational -- and really drives home the point that exercise can’t beat a bad diet.

The video features Craig Ballantyne on the cardio machine, Brad Pilon on Pizza and John Barban in the “commentators booth”

Listen for the final numbers at the end of the video for a real surprise -- I bet you will never look at an innocent slice of pizza the same way…ever…
