Wisebread had a good post on the amount of caffeine you can find in common drinks and foods. Of course coffee has a lot, but how much more than an espresso? How about a chocolate bar?  They got a lot of their information from an article at the Mayo Clinic.

After my post on the ‘300′ workout, I read into some more workout routines. Recently we bought a fitness ball so I wanted to see what exercises could be done using this tool. The Washington Post had a Live Online chat that discussed it, and provided a link to a set of exercises (with descriptions) posted at the Mayo Clinic. Pretty useful.

Unfortaunately, I can’t remember where I original saw a reference to this blog, but Josh Hill’s blog had a post on the ‘300′ workout – the workout that was used to train the Spartans for the film 300. The workout was designed and run by Mark Twight, who runs Gym Jones. The workout is intense, but can be scaled for different people. It doesn’t use any machines, nothing that isolates muscles – it’s a full body workout to the extreme.
