Training Advice For The Entertainment Addict Generation
By Mike Mahler
Most of us under 40 are addicted to entertainment. The younger you are, the greater your need to be entertained at all times. That's why I call the kids who're 16 to 24 "Generation Entertainment" (or Gen Ent if you're into that whole brevity thing).
When we aren't watching four hours of TV every night, we're surfing the Web or sending idiotic text messages to our friends laced with infuriating acronyms. As a result, we're getting fatter and weaker. Even worse, we've lost any semblance of mental toughness. We have no concept of sacrifice.
Since we've screened out anything that isn't entertaining, few of us can slog through weeks and months of boring training. But the problem is even worse for Gen Ent. Unless training is fun and consistently stimulating, the dumbbells will gather dust long before any of it appears on the Game Cube.
Now, given everything I've just said, you'd think that I'd start this series with something sexy, like abs or biceps. Nope. I'm going to show you a better way to do the most boring type of exercise known to man.
Cardio: the remix
When you think of cardio, what comes to mind? Deconditioned schlubs trudging joylessly on treadmills? Overcaffeinated Spinning addicts cranking like madwomen on a bike going nowhere?
Cardio, the way most people do it, is a severe form of mental-toughness training. But I don't mean that in a good way. It takes a lot of mental toughness to do that kind of cardio training five times a week for months on end. But it doesn't do much for your body. Unless you're born with good genetics for endurance training, it's probably not going to make you much leaner than you are now.
Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives that are both fun and effective. They produce fast results with no boredom required. And best of all, they're cheaper than basic cable.

SUN WARRIOR RICE PROTEIN
Finally a protein powder that is organic, tastes great, and will not cause nausea and have you running to the bathroom with the runs!
It is not often that I get excited about protein powder. Most protein powders taste terrible and are loaded with unhealthy chemical ingredients. Sure I have used a few protein powders that are decent but none that actually motivated me to want to sell them on my website until recently. Not too long ago the guys at Sunwarrior were nice enough to send me a few bottles of their rice protein to test drive. Honestly I was expecting another bland terrible tasting rice protein like all of the other options that are on the marketplace. To my pleasant surprise I was actually shocked with how delicious the vanilla and chocolate flavors are. Unlike most protein powders both the vanilla and chocolate flavors taste great in water. This is the true test of a protein powder as you can make just about any protein powder taste great by mixing it with tons of fruits in a blender. However, if it tastes great in just water then you know you have a winner.
