By: Arthur Anderson   What is Paleo?  Or for that matter what is Primal? Paleo is a diet that mimics our Paleolithic ancestors and Primal is a lifestyle that mimics our Paleolithic ancestors. In addition to eating good food our Paleolithic ancestors enjoyed an active and enriching life, that didn’t include many of the stresses that we have today.  The Primal Lifestyle is a way of modeling our diet, exercise and lifestyle behaviors after our primal ancestors while adapting them to the realities of our modern lifestyles. The first exercise behavior I would like to discuss is the concept of Moving Frequently at a Slow Pace.

Their bodies both allow them to do something they enjoy.   Now, if we look at your average runway model who has no muscular development and almost no fat deposits she has just enough muscle on her body to walk her runway, but that’s about it. Then we look at your elite Welded athlete who has spent many years developing her muscle and strength to do some pretty amazing things with her body, and because of this she has 35 more pounds of muscle than our runway model. Between these two women there probably isn’t too much difference in their genetics but...Read more
