    What Are You Really Doing in the Gym?
    ManWomanExercisingDumbbells-WP-FEATURED

    I’ve been guilty of going into the gym, knocking down a list of exercises, and two hours later packing up to go home.  Sounds good, but the problem is I never really worked out at all.  Sure I got a little pumped, maybe even made my quads burn a little.  And still, except for my [...]

    Squat Your Way into Shape
    Squats-NotJustForTheBigBoys-WP-FEATURED

    Beginners avoid them, women fear them, and many men don’t like them. I’m talking about squats. It’s amazing how many people are missing out on such an effective exercise. There’s a reason people often avoid this powerful exercise.  Beginners simply feel more comfortable on machines. Machines don’t take a lot of balance or skill to [...]

    French fries

    Most of us have met someone who lives on the elliptical machine or aerobics room. Although they appear to workout so much, they may be the same weight today as they were 6 months ago. Why? I believe many people are working overtime trying to burn off what they aren’t willing to cut out of [...]

    Extreme Exercise Can’t Beat Extreme Eating
    WomanTiredWorkout-WP-FEATURED

    I see tons of people sweating it out at the gym, sometimes twice a day, working so incredibly hard. Why? It’s not because they are a professional athlete or preparing for a competition. It’s not to get shredded. No, they have this insane dedication to working out because they have no dedication to eating right. [...]

    6 Tips to Troubleshoot a Weight Loss Plateau
    NutritionExercise-WP-FEATURED

    As theoretical physicist Albert Einstein once said,  “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” You don’t have to receive the Noble Prize to relate to this statement. I think we’ve all caught ourselves, at one time or other, in the vicious circle of insanity Einstein [...]

    “Choose to do TODAY what you know will reward you most TOMORROW” Need motivation? Do you struggle to make good decisions? Do you feel like all you do is sabotage your life?

    What’s Keeping You From the Gym?
    exercise_class_fit_balls-WP-THUMB

    It’s February and you may still be talking about making New Year’s resolutions. Maybe you’ve just been too busy to go to the gym – or maybe you just aren’t convinced the gym is a place you want to be. Sometimes I think the media would even scare me from joining a gym too if [...]

    Not happy with the shape of your belly?  What type of belly do you have? Before you can figure out what you need to do about your belly, you need to figure out what your problem is. 1.

    Ditching the Saddlebags Once & For All
    YoungMan-WomanUsingKettleBells-WP-THUMB

    Saddlebags are a great addition to a motorcycle, but not to women’s hips. The annoying pocket of fat is neither attractive nor useful in my opinion – and it’s top on the list when it comes to problem areas. In an attempt to nix the fat, women make a variety of mistakes resulting in a [...]
