Change Your Body in Six Weeks. Ha!

{Read More...}

Quiz time! How long does it takes to see significant physical changes through diet and exercise? No, not two weeks, or three. Or five. There is lots of equipment, gadgets, programs, gyms and trainers out there who promise that in six or eight short weeks, you too can remake your body completely. [...]

Kick Start Stalled Weight Loss

{Read More...}

It’s a funny thing when one starts exercising…they get sooo annoying.  Take me for example, I get super annoying. I do 20 jumping jacks and immediately start asking people if  they see results, if I look any fitter or thinner.  Then I continue to pest them everyday until they acknowledge change. Ugh.
It’s so frustrating when [...]

Hydoxycut Kills: What a Bummer.

{Read More...}

Bad news, pill poppers: Hydroxycut is killing people.

I’m guessing we all have an inner voice that tells us things related to starting and doing physical activities, and probably more than one. Mine sometimes tells me that I need a workout, or [...]

It’s Already Started and Summer Isn’t Even Here

{Read More...}

A guy taking off his shirt in public, a gal wearing a revealing outfit, and a fitness dork that starts her own blog are all saying…
Hey, look at me!
Over here!
I’m showing off, check me out!
Pay attention to me!
But there is a huge difference between, say me, and the shirtless guy that walked into the gym [...]

Suck it, Suck it Hard

{Read More...}

If you have read a fitness magazine, watched a workout DVD, trained with a personal trainer, or taken a group exercise class over the past few years you may have performed the, The Draw-In Maneuver.
This technique is also referred to with phrases such as, “suck/draw your belly button in towards your spine”. Last night [...]
