BY NINJA MASTER, MARK FISHER I could tell he wasn’t buying it.

by Ninja Master, Mark Fisher Recently a beloved Ninja brought this article to my attention that ran in the NY Times.  In a nutshell, the article addresses this question as it relates to the heart.  Since the heart is a muscle, and muscles can get beat up with overuse… can you do cardiovascular training to the point where the heart is negatively impacted?

by Guest Ninja Beth Wittig We’ve all been there. There is an emotional trigger and without even really thinking, suddenly you are eating. The first bite tastes great but then you barely taste anything. You may find you are eating with such ferocity, it actually hurts a bit going down but before you know it, you have polished off an entire loaf of bread, half a left-over apple pie, an entire bag of potato chips or a pint of ice-cream. To say you feel gross is putting it mildly but like many people, you may just say, “What the hell?” and keep on going. Might as well fall of the wagon hard if you are going to fall off, right? Might as well make the most of it?

One of MFF's most cherished values is excellence at the basics.  When someone starts their Ninja journey, there are a trio of fitness adventures that help new folks get the fastest, safest results right out of the gate.  For those of you currently titillated by MFF and about sign up for a membership, you'll want to get the party started right!

Somewhere along this journey to health and hotness, I decided that if I were going to indulge in ice cream once in awhile, I was going to eat “the real thing.

By Guest Ninja Ann Wendel, PT, ATC, CMTPT Hi Ninjas! I’m thrilled to get to talk to you here on the MFF blog! I have met some of you (and miss you terribly already); but, for those of you I haven’t met yet, I’m a physical therapist in the D.C. area. My passion is helping people live awesome lives! So, of course, I want to help you reach your health and hotness goals.
