I invite you to take a peek at one of my hill running cardio sessions (filmed early summer 2010). An intense, and effective method for boosting metabolism and burning fat. This hill running session applies principles of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), which is a series of cycles consisting of a work interval (running up the hill), and a rest interval (recovery, walking down the hill).

It’s amazing how smart your body is. Drinking water is so important to maintaining a lean and healthy physique, and there’s one way of knowing whether you’ve been doing things right. I call it water guilt, and it’s the sensation of guilt that overcomes you when you haven’t been drinking enough water.

My freezer is always stocked with a stash of frozen berries. Depending on my mood, season, or availability, I’ve either got strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries in there. These are extremely handy for whipping together quick meal-replacement smoothies, and make the world of a difference in your smoothie experience when they are frozen.

The other day, during my trip in Sri Lanka, I decided to head out for a walk. Nothing strenuous or fancy, just a simple casual walk. Except I wore my heart rate monitor to record some statistics. Any cardio is good cardio, and you should never underestimate the most simple of them all: walking. So just how effective is walking for cardio?

The other day I posted about the ever-popular tuna fish in Sri Lanka. Now here’s a traditional Sri Lankan dish using tuna, called Ambul Thiyal–also known as sour fish curry. It was part of the first home-cooked meal I had after arriving here. It might be one of those dishes that you either love or hate; its flavour is distinct, strong, and memorable.
