Health Blogs

Popular primal living blog Mark’s Daily Apple spent the entire month of August giving away some great stuff as part of his Primal Blueprint Health Challenge, but Mark saved the best prize for last.  We were happy to partner with Mark’s site and offer an Ultimate Body Press Full Package as the big grand prize for the event.  We think that Mark’s site is great, and if you’re committed to a healthy lifestyle, it’s an excellent resource to look at.

And if you haven’t seen our newest products yet - like the pull-up bar or our weighted, adjustable speed rope, take a look in our store and get acquainted.

We want Lorenz Sell to know that we are watching him. He has set some pretty big life goals for himself including climbing Mount Everest, competing in an Iron Man and a Body Building competition all before he turns 31. Did we mention Lorenz has all ready founded a run many successful businesses?  And the guy is fit, seriously fit. His blog is filled with personal and inspirational messages about life, fitness and reaching your goals as he pursues his own.

The Find Me Fit blog also contains a running series of very candid videos from Lorenz where he delivers unscripted but very well composed messages about achieving clarity and action. We encourage everyone to pursue their passions and experience life with great vigor so check the Find Me Fit blog because Lorenz is a great example of this kind of enthusiasm. He has set the bar pretty high for himself and he may inspire you to climb your own mountain. Good Luck Lorenz!

Yuri Elkaim is a wellness expert. Between his blogs, his top-rated YouTube channel and his fitness podcast, the diet and exercise guru has a huge (and growing) presence on the web. When you consider that Elkaim is a registered nutritionist, kinesiologist, and the conditioning coach for a nationally ranked soccer team (as well as a former pro soccer player himself), it becomes clear that he knows his stuff.

For some really sound fitness advice, check Yuri out at the Total Wellness Blog. You can find links to free workout videos and to Elkaim’s other projects on the web, including his book Eating For Energy.

Even we need some inspiration to work out once in awhile. When we do, we look to some of our favorite workout and fitness blogs online to get us in the mood to burn calories.

That’s Fit is definitely one of those blogs. With a focus on feature content from real personal trainers and nutritionists, the site is a great destination for weight loss, diet and exercise tips. Our favorite feature is the That’s Fit Club, which lets readers tell their own fitness stories.

One of the best things about the site is that it’s got information for people at any stage in their quest for fitness; check out this post on yoga for overweight people.

At UltimateBodyPress.com, we celebrate proper exercise and nutrition. We feel a healthy lifestyle must incorporate both, and will provide both increased mental and physical wellness. We’re always on the lookout for fitness and health blogs that share our similar sentiments, and came across Makeover Fitness - a very helpful exercise and proper nutrition blog to get you on the path to total wellness.

We love their post, “Choosing the right items when eating out”. It’s so tempting to splurge when you’re eating out, but this post gives you some great ideas when faced with having to eat fast food.

“Are you doing an exercise routine or wasting time?” is another helpful post, and illustrates how important it is to use a total body workout - both strength training and cardio. Be sure to exercise several times a week, and both your mind and body will thank you for it.

Be sure to stop by MakeoverFitness and tell them we said hello! They’re a great resource for starting on a healthy lifestyle.
