Stupid Exercise Invention of the Week!: Aqua Abs

This is basically what is called a Roman Chair/Captain’s Chair made out of a PVC pipe patio chair, so the inventor gets an A+ for making something out of home goods and trying to sell it.

Switchin up your HIIT Cardio Program to keep the fat falling off

Many of my followers, clients and others I talk to day-to-day  have really enjoyed the effects of high intensity interval training. If you have been using it for a while switching it up is very easy.

The recommended Daily Intake of Calories is 2,000.(many factors change this but we will use it as an example) 3,500 calories = 1 pound of body fat Let’s say that your recommended daily caloric intake [...]

Obscure Goal Setting

I want to talk about goal setting. Yes, I know that you all know how important goal setting is. Instead I wanted to discuss unlikely goals that we can set for ourselves. Goals do not need to always be tallied as pounds lost, body fat percentage, miles ran, weight lifted, etc. Goals can be obscure as [...]
