Brief Exercise Found to Be Much More Effective for “Fit” People

Back in June, USA Today released a story that confirmed what I have suspected for a few years: The more fit someone is, the more fat they will burn after a workout session.

The study also says that fielders as well as pitchers spent significantly more days on the disabled list for upper extremity injuries than for the lower extremities.

The Ultimate Burger

On a week when I’m feeling extra productive I’ll make a batch of these and put ‘em in the fridge to eat later. Half the time I don’t even re-heat them. Delicious.
