The GORUCK GR1 Backpack for Business Travel

Image
https://developercoach.com/2018/goruck-gr1-backpack-for-business-travel/ The GORUCK GR1 backpack is not just for "rucking" - it's a great bag for laptops and business travel. GORUCK is a company that makes several products targeted to “rucking” – which is walking or hiking for distance with a loaded backpack. The GORUCK GR1 backpack is their main product. It’s a tough, versatile, and good looking backpack that is considered a premium product. Rucking is the foundation of Special Forces (SF) physical training, so you’d expect this backpack to be too “tactical” for Every Day Carry (EDC), but that’s actually not the case. One of the things I like about my GORUCK GR1 backpack is just how versatile it is – and it fits into nearly any setting – whether on the ruck march, in the field, or in the meeting room – or any other business setting. Let’s talk here today about using the GORUCK GR1 for business travel. [READ TO FIND OUT MORE] #GORUCK #GR1 #Tra

Best Women's Olympic Barbell (UPDATED FOR 2018)

Image
https://fitatmidlife.com/best-womens-olympic-barbell/ women’s barbells have a shaft diameter of only 25 mm. Compare this to the 28 or 29 mm diameter of a men’s bar. It’s 10% less diameter. And that means it’s easier to grip for those with smaller hands. The better grip will be an important factor on the Olympic lifts such as the snatch, and clean and jerk. Women’s bars are also not as long as a men’s bar. You give up about 3″ of loadable sleeve length – which means fewer bumper plates will fit on it. As a consequence of that smaller diameter and shorter length a women’s barbell will also be lighter – there’s simply less mass involved. A women’s barbell will typically weigh 15 kilograms (33 lbs) as opposed to 20 kilograms (44 lbs) for a men’s barbell. Beyond that, to find the right women’s barbell, find the model that works best for what you intend to use it for. [READ TO FIND OUT MORE] #CrossFit #MetCon #Weightlifting #Strength #Barbell

Whole30 Diet – Elimination Diet for Improved Health (GET STARTED TODAY!)

Image
https://fitatmidlife.com/whole30-diet/ The Whole30 diet is a challenging elimination diet that is meant to make us rethink food, discover our intolerances and allergies, and to develop better eating habits that remain once the program completes. It promotes and works around whole foods from multiple food groups, except grains. It is not a fad diet or a lose weight quick scheme. In fact, the creators of the program encourage us to throw out our scale because feeling great about our bodies on the inside is not a number. You can choose to weigh yourself, but keep in mind this isn’t a weight loss diet. The 30-day challenge is about increased energy, breaking bad eating habits, a properly working digestive system, and improved mental focus. We don’t count calories on the plan, and although the foods can be restrictive, we only remove foods for 30 days before slowing adding them back into our diets. Hopefully, by the end of the diet, we will have discovered the foods or types of f
