    Show Notes:
    Steve’s sound quality has kind of gone to hell on this podcast (is that a tunnel?). Jason and Steve talk about hitting the gym at various times, circuit training, LL Cool J’s Platinum Workout, learning to cook, best & worst cereals, and some iPod magic.

    Well folks we finally made it to episode 20 and both Steve and I have seen some decent progress in our tasks to lose weight and live a heathier lifestyle. I’d like to take this time to introduce to you two websites that well help you keep track of your food intake and all of the working out you have been doing. It’s quite common for people to set a goal (er, resolution) to lose weight during the new year and we at GeekFit wanted to point you in the right direction.

    • Traineo.com - helps you lose weight & get fit by letting you track your progress through a unique way of getting friendly motivation.
    • SparkPeople.com - Free diet plans customized for you by SparkPeople.com. Other diets do not compare to the free diet tools and resources you get from SparkPeople.

    Both websites do about the same thing, Steve and Jason started out using SparkPeople and later transitioned to Traineo. Once you join one of these sites please join the GeekFit group by following one of these two links:

    • Too tired or lazy to cut your butter in the morning? Here’s a machine that’ll do it for you, precisely measuring a 35-calorie portion at a time. Keep in mind, butter is 100% fat.
      This could actually be useful. If you’re a fanatic about calorie counting, dole out a controlled portion, count it accurately, slim down. While you’re at it, don’t forget to count those crows on the clothesline.

  • GeekFit Episode 16 - Expo Recap

     
    icon for podpress  GeekFit.com Podcast #16 - Expo recap & Getting back into the swing of things [41:17m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

    Due to a recording snafu on Jason’s side, we lost what was supposed to be the 15th episode and so instead you got live feed from the podcast expo. This is our first actual recording since returning from the expo. On to the show notes:

    • Steve starts by complaining about the Ontario airport.
    • The guys discuss the portable media expo and all the tom-foolery therein.
    • Steve talks about his winter workout schedule - more about that in the next podcast.
    • Some confusing talk about the link between serotonin receptors in the brain and exercise - I’ll come up with some supporting articles for the next podcast.

    So evidently there’s a little bit of a hiss on the recording. Steve thinks it’s on his side, so he’s going to dink with it a bit and figure out how to get rid of it. Jason’s side is clean and they’re using the same gear. It will be dealt with. Oh yes, it will.

    Steve and I attended the Podcast and Portable Media Expo in Ontario, CA last September 29th and 30th. Steve flew down from Vancouver, WA to attend and it was great to hang out with him. This episode was recorded on location at the OC Podcasters booth. We interviewed Russ Turley from FatGuyRadio.com.
