Today was 'special-election-Tuesday'. You ask, what in the world is 'special-election-Tuesday'... I know, I am shaking my head too, but, essentially in my area of the world, it means we needed another election because they didn't get it all figured out during our 'normal-election-Tuesday'.

In honor of our out-of-sync Election Day, I decided to walk to my polling place, vote and then head home interval style. I am sure at this point most of my neighbors have decided if I ran a little slower, I might actually be able to run longer than a minute of so at a time. That's okay; it can be our little secret that I am actually in better shape doing intervals than I ever was running mile upon mile upon mile.

So get out, vote, run, lift, eat healthy and play your favorite sport until you're a 110 years old.

Research has shown it takes less time to burn more fat and get in better shape with interval training. Get the facts on Interval Training Programs and get in the best shape of your life.

Hey, I put in a new ceiling fan/light today. No, this isn't the DIY channel, but I was glad I've been working my triceps. Nothing like holding the fan over your head with one hand while screwing it in with the other - hello triceps.

To answer the two obvious questions, yes it works and will I come over and install yours...uh, sorry your on your own. But dusting your fan off and moving it from the garage to the bedroom is a good start. Remember to lift with your legs - after all this is a fitness site.

When I woke up this morning, I was just dragging and the thought of going to the gym seemed to make me even more tired. I am one of those dreaded morning people, so if the idea of heading to the gym for a workout made me tired, I knew I needed to add a little variety to my routine.

Instead of jumping in the car and driving to the gym, I threw on my running shoes, grabbed my bike and headed to the park.

Not a weight in site and I practically had the place to myself outside of a couple curious squirrels and the occasional jogger. It was exactly the change of pace I needed. I ended up having a great workout. I took advantage of the jungle gym and one of the benches for pull-ups, chin-ups and dips.  The ground was all I needed for several variations of push ups. Believe me, if you reduce your rest time and superset your exercises, you can get in a really great workout. To finish things off, I ran some wind sprints and headed home tired, but certainly not dragging.

Alright, I've received a couple questions about calories in beer. It seems most of you would rather carpet your house pink, than give up beer (no offense to people who love pink carpet, just not my first choice).

Well here's the good news, you don't have to give up beer. As you might guess, there's also a bad news part. If you want a ripped body, you may need to cut down on the amount of beer you drink. Again, based on the questions, it seems like everyone wants a specific upper limit. Say I drink 4.6 beers per week on average, and each beer is 16 ounces and the blue train is heading west at 35 mph...

Well, the how many beers can I drink and still be ripped question actually depends. Why did I know he was going to say it depends. Probably because most of us already know there are a lot of calories in beer and that beer calories are not the type of calories we are looking for when it comes to building muscle and cutting fat.

At the same time, if you really like having a beer once in a while, cutting it out completely may not exactly be a motivator. If you knew that working out meant you could never have beer again, that might be an anti-motivator and make it a little harder to start an exercise program. The idea isn't to completely remove the things we enjoy, it's about moderation. So assuming you're old enough and drinking beer wont cause bodily damage, enjoy a beer once in a while. Just remember you are putting in a lot of time and effort into your workouts, so moderation is key. In the words of Homer Simpson, "Homer no function beer well without." Homer's a funny guy, but not exactly the poster child for physical fitness.

So you still side with Homer and your not ready to give up the beloved evening beer or two. But, you also wouldn't mind letting a little air out of the tire forming around the old mid-section.
