When you think strength training you don’t usually think yoga poses, but you’ll be surprised at just how strong having a regular yoga practice can make you. If you’re looking to build strength, flexibility and balance then cultivate a regular Ashtanga, Power or Rocket yoga […]
I know that men in yoga seem to have that stereotype of being skinny, vegan (or vegetarian), uber-bendy, hippy-dippy, feminine men who feeeeeel things and can cry at the movies with you. Now while I’m all for challenging gender stereotypes of what masculinity and femininity […]
Last week we took a look at the dangers of simple carbohydrates and refined grains. If that left you looking at your pantry thinking ‘what can I eat then?’ it’s time to get experimental with your grains! Yes, it’s possible to buy wholegrain pasta, but […]
I am pretty obsessed about walking. Perhaps obsessed is a strong word, but what else would you call someone who loves knowing just how many steps she takes a day? So yeah I bought myself a pedometer and used it till I discovered Pacer. Obviously […]
When it comes to losing weight and building healthy food habits, we here at BaDoink know just how hard it can get. So when we find something that works, we keep at it – or we try to. One thing that we found to work […]
So I’ve been busy writing about all the amazing fitness apps out there, and today I’m gonna cover some really good fitness tracking websites. It might be enough for you to just use an app (and that’s totally ok) but for some of us we […]

I’ve been on another of my fitness binges and thus have been scouring the app store for more apps that will help me (and now hopefully you as well) on my journey. Oh I’ve found some goodies indeed. This time around my goal was to […]
Continuing on from Part One of Crowding Out, dealing with the glut of food date out there, Ashton Miles takes a look at the possible answer to the question of ‘What can I eat?’ Emerging from the low-fat, low-carb, low-everything diet hangover, we find ourselves […]
Recently we did an article on whether or not to add sprinting to your workouts. As you now know sprinting is a great whole body workout that can help you burn fat quickly, increase endurance and build muscles. But if you’ve never sprinted before, perhaps […]
I wouldn’t say I was fat… umm, per sé, so to speak. But I’m 5’6″, middle aged and finding it harder coaching kids at soccer while I’m repeatedly wiping the sweat out of my eyes. I feel exactly like my Buddha statue in the back […]
When I was a kid running around playing tag, little did I know all that sprinting was actually the best workout I was giving my younger self. If you’ve been hitting the gym a lot, lifting weights and doing a lot of cardio but still […]
Intermittent Fasting (IF) has suddenly become all the rage. In fact, friends of mine who before scoffed at the idea are now fasting because of all the benefits that fasting provides – from weight loss to longevity and overall health. But IF isn’t exactly a […]
It takes a moment to register exactly what you’re looking at when a barefoot runner trots by. Instead of bounding toward you with a normal air-cushioned spring, their feet, sometimes slipped into those flat, flipper-like sock things, slap lightly on the concrete, appearing small and […]
It’s a looming weight faced by writers and just about anyone else. Whether it’s starting an article or project, a diet or exercise routine, or simply initiating contact with someone or something you’ve been putting off, getting started is hard. It sometimes begins with “I […]
Metabolism; your younger brother seems to have mastered it and is able to wash an entire pizza down with a tub of ice cream without gaining a pound, while you dip and diet, unable to keep things stable. Genetic makeup has a lot to do […]
The holiday season is upon us, but before the celebrations begin there´s a hurdle to skip over, the first common cold of the winter. The person next to you might be sniffing and coughing heavily, but before you submit to the inevitability of the same […]
