Fire Up Your Treadmill Workout

This week’s HIIT cardio is a fast-paced routine that involves a treadmill set to the highest incline it can go. You definitely won’t be bored with this program, as you will be changing movements every 15 reps for a total of 20 minutes. Let’s see how fast you can go and how many rounds you can complete in 20 minutes. Set the timer and GO!

Not Your Average Treadmill Workout - Calisthenics amp up the fun & calorie burn

Step 1 – LUNGE

Set your treadmill at the highest level (or a level with which you are comfortable). I set my pace to 2 MPH and performed 15 walking lunges while holding on to the sides for balance. The less you use your arms to help stand up, the more advanced you make it. Take long steps and get deep into the lunge. To make the movement easier, grab on to the top of the treadmill for support and don’t descend as deep into the lunges. Perform 15 lunges each leg.

Step 2 – FORWARD SHUFFLE

Next, up the speed to around 4-6 MPH. Starting with your right leg forward and keeping your hips pointing forward, shuffle step 15 times. Then repeat leading with the left leg. If you need more support for balance, grab on to the sides.

Step 3 – HIGH KNEE RUNS

Keeping the same speed, begin an exaggerated jog where you pull your knees up as high as you can. You will really feel this in your glutes, abs and calves. Make sure to squeeze your core. Perform 15 high knees for each leg for a total of 30.

Step 4 – QUICK SQUAT

Finally, slower the speed to the pace lunge pace. Then, carefully step on to the sides of the treadmill and perform 15 quick bodyweight squats.

Repeat these steps for as many rounds as you can in 20 min! It’ll shock you body, and give you a good sweat in a short amount of time! Good luck!

Botched Circumcision Leads to Penis Amputation for Baby Boy

From  cord blood banking  to  baby naming ceremonies , parents of newborns have a bevy of key decisions to make when it comes to medical procedures and religious and/or cultural practices. For instance, as soon as a couple learns they're having a boy, they might find themselves grappling with the  decision to circumcise—or not . It's an individual, personal decision for every family. Thankfully, when parents opt in, most circumcisions go off without a hitch. However, a shocking story out of Egypt highlights one instance in which the routine procedure went terribly awry. A father from Cairo is speaking out after his son's  penis had to be amputated following a botched circumcision . The Jerusalem Post  reported that the father named Ashraf Helmi says he took his child to Cairo to be vaccinated and was convinced by his sister-in-law and a family friend to have his  1-month-old son Mohamed circumcised during the same doctor's visit. According to  Me...

Reduce Acid-Forming Proteins to Protect Kidney Function

Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem affecting about one in eight Americans, increasing the risks of disease and death even among those with only mild decreases in kidney function. Low-cost, low-risk preventive strategies that anyone can do are needed to address the epidemic of kidney disease. I discuss some of these in my video Protein Source: An Acid Test for Kidney Function . Diet plays a role in kidney function decline. “Specifically, diets higher in animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol” may be associated with protein leakage into the urine, which is a sign of kidney damage, and, generally, “diets higher in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but lower in meat and sweets, may be protective” against kidney function decline. In comparison to the diet eaten by our ancient ancestors, not only are we eating more saturated fat, sugar, and salt, we now also eat an acid-producing diet, as opposed to a base-producing, or alkaline, diet. Ancestral human diet...
