Well they don’t know me either right?! Anyway, a difference here to…

Article by Kristian Lexell Yesterday we visited Robert Drysdale BJJ. We joined a great SW-class. Drysdale is a great instructor and, off course, a super grappler. We did drills and sparring drills for two hours and the general level was really skilled. What we also managed to do yesterday was get to one of those giant supermarkets to fill our home with food. That was necessary cause most of the food we’ve found in Vegas so far is really bad. It sucks having a hard time finding something worth calling nutrition to eat when training 3-5 hours every day. But…

Article By ALICE PARK Exercise does a lot of good things — it burns calories, helps keep your weight in check and lowers your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Now add one more thing to the list: physical activity can change your DNA. Unlike the aberrations and genetic mutations caused by carcinogens and toxins, exercise-induced alterations to DNA are more like tune-ups, helping muscles to work better and more efficiently. What’s more, these changes occur even after a single 20-minute workout. Juleen Zierath, a professor of physiology at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, reports with her colleagues in…

Article by: FOX Sports The Ultimate Fighter Live coach & UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz answered some final questions before making the trip to Vegas for TUF 15. TUF: What do you think of Urijah Faber as a fighter and as a coach? Cruz: I respect his game as a fighter and even as a coach.

By GRETCHEN REYNOLDS Does exercise keep your brain running? Moving the body demands a lot from the brain. Exercise activates countless neurons, which generate, receive and interpret repeated, rapid-fire messages from the nervous system, coordinating muscle contractions, vision, balance, organ function and all of the complex interactions of bodily systems that allow you to take one step, then another. This increase in brain activity naturally increases the brain’s need for nutrients, but until recently, scientists hadn’t fully understood how neurons fuel themselves during exercise. Now a series of animal studies from Japan suggest that the exercising brain has unique methods…
