Rice Cakes from the Feed Zone Cook Book

Tom Wigginton • February 10, 2014

We’ve talked about hydration before. Now let’s talk about exercise nutrition next. If you are exercising for more than 2 hours, you’re going to need to refuel at some point to keep from bonking. Courtesy of the writers of the Feed Zone Cookbook (who are also the founders of Skratch Labs), here is a recipe for an all natural rice cake that offers a refueling option for extended efforts. 2 – 3 hours or more on the bike, a full day skiing, an all day hike are all good options for putting this rice cake in your belly. Note the theme, however. This is not a mid-morning snack on a day when you’re not getting in more than a 60 minute workout (or less). You only get to eat these when you’re putting in hours of extended continuous effort. Check out more recipes in their cookbook – they’re all great!

These 3 Tests Could Change How You Train

By Tom Wigginton • June 27, 2025
How Vitruvian’s new partnership with DexaFit Denver helps you fight bone loss, build muscle, and personalize your fitness – starting with real data. Vitruvian Fitness has partnered with DexaFit Denver to bring you three powerful tools for assessing and improving your health: the DEXA Scan , VO₂ Max Test , and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test . These aren’t gimmicks – they’re scientifically backed ways to track meaningful progress in your training. If you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you're at a turning point where training isn’t just about looking better – it’s about aging better . As the saying goes, “What gets measured gets managed.” And just because that’s a relic from my corporate past doesn’t make it any less true. Like your annual bloodwork, these tests give you a snapshot of important health markers that offer direction, motivation, and a baseline to measure progress against. Here’s what each test measures: DEXA Scan – bone density, lean body mass, and visceral fat VO₂ Max Test – cardiovascular fitness and aerobic efficiency Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – how many calories you burn at rest (your metabolic baseline)
