The New York City Health Department has stepped up its fight against soda with a new, incredibly disgusting commercial.

The ad continues this past summer's series of posters that depicted soda and other liquids turning into fat in a glass, asking "Are you pouring on the pounds?"

This video shows a man happily drinking a glassful of liquid fat, letting the chunky lipids drip down his face. If that's not enough to gross viewers out, the commercial ends with what appears to be 10 pounds of fat dropping onto a plate.

According to Dr. Thomas Farley, New York City Health Commissioner, the video is "playful, but its message is serious." Playful? Revolting might be a better word for it.

Farley points out that "sugar-sweetened beverages" are very much behind the "obesity epidemic, and obesity is disabling millions of New Yorkers. If this campaign shifts habits even slightly, it could have real health benefits."

For Lynne as rx'd, each "round" is 5 minutes long.

Start your BP on the minute, complete as many as possible without racking the weight. Once you have completed the BP, start your Pull-ups. Complete as many Pull-ups as possible (your set is complete once you release the bar). Now rest for what remains of the original 5 minutes (e.g. if it takes you 2 minutes to BP and do the Pull-ups, rest 3 minutes). Repeat 4 more time. Got it? (As an aside...do the exercise that you are weakest in first. E.g. for me, that of course means I do pull-ups before bench pressing)

Post reps for both exercises in all rounds

I found a pretty interesting article on health food that aren't...link below. I love that muffins are on the list. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...I've seen my mom make cake and make muffins. She used the same ingredients. You gotta love the Marketing genius that gets people to eat CAKE for breakfast by renaming it muffins. If I remember correctly, Shakespeare wrote, A rose by any other name, smells as sweet". In this case tastes as sweet too!

Healthy food may be making you fat.

Hold on: I'm not talking about broccoli and bell peppers here. I'm talking about a lot of the foods that are sold to us as "low-fat," "low-carb," or otherwise "healthy" fare. The food industry invests $30 billion a year in advertising, and much of that is used to dupe consumers into believing bogus bites are somehow good for us.

The truth is, behind every low-fat label and celebrated salad is a list of ingredients that would give even the most relentless glutton reason to reconsider.

In researching the best-selling book "Eat This, Not That!," the title for this new blog with my co-author Matt Goulding, we were shocked to find that the foods so many health-conscious eaters in this country consider to be smart choices are actually the most responsible for our ever-expanding waistlines.

Many of the "low-fat" or otherwise "healthy" options we examined packed several hundred extra calories in them! Translation: Get duped into eating one pseudo-healthy food a day, and you'll have an extra 30 pounds (or more) to work off by the end of the year.

We've identified six of the most misunderstood foods in America, so that next time you think you're doing your body a favor, you actually will be - by looking for something else that actually is healthy.

1. Bran Muffin
440 calories
23 grams of fat
35 g sugars
Made primarily with sugar, refined flour and hydrogenated oil, it's like starting your day with a candy bar. Actually, it's like starting your day with two candy bars, since this misunderstood muffin has more fat and calories than two Kit Kat bars.

2. Chicken Caesar Salad
900 calories
60 grams of fat
Caesar salads suffer the consequences of two natural disasters: a flood of fatty dressing and a blizzard of Parmesan cheese and croutons. All told, it's a caloric catastrophe - equal to scarfing down 20 Chicken McNuggets!

3. Tuna Melt
950 calories
55 grams of fat
Plain tuna out of the can is healthy; tuna drenched in mayo, shrouded in melted cheese, and slicked with another layer of dressing is not. You'd be better off eating three six-inch roast beef sandwiches from Subway!

4. Chicken Wrap
700 calories
35 grams of fat
How wraps got such a good rap is beyond us, since they're really just oversized tortillas, packing up to 400 calories on their own - that is, before the onslaught of cheese, meat, and dressing it houses! You'd get the same number of calories from 20 strips of bacon.

5. Turkey Burger
850 calories
50 grams of fat
At home a turkey burger might be a decent choice, but in the restaurant world it means high-fat ground turkey, heavy mayo, melted cheese, and a big, pillowy bun. It's the equivalent of three 8-oz sirloin steaks.

6. Fruit Smoothies
600 calories
120 grams of sugar
Unless it says 100 percent fruit, your "fruit" smoothie is likely made with ice cream, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and a few token chunks of banana. All told, this popular afternoon snack has as much sugar as six Haagen Dazs Vanilla and Almond ice cream bars. Ouch.

ESPN The Magazine recently wrote an article about the good old medicine ball (link below). An excerpt for the article reads:

From the dawn of athletics to the first round of this month's NFL draft, the medicine ball has rolled through the centuries, its elemental formula unchanged and unsurpassed: Sphere + gravity = fitness. The medicine ball has toned presidents, altered Olympics and sculpted empires. It has survived wars and plagues. Thanks to a recent resurgence, it just might outlast performance-enhancing drugs and Jack LaLanne. And though most people, when they think of the medicine ball at all, think of it as a smelly, brown-leather boulder abandoned in a dark corner of a middle school gym—or as the thing Rocky used after beer-bonging his eggs each morning—nothing less than the course of humankind's athletic evolution can be traced by its epic, transcultural path.

This is a 5 round, 5 minute per round routine. Start the pull-ups on the minute and do as many as you can. Upon failure, complete as many bench press reps as you can. After the bench press, rest the remainder of the first 5 minutes (e.g. if it took you 3 minutes to do the pull-ups and bench press, rest 2 minutes). Repeat 4 more times

As always have fun. Post reps per round in comments.
