In fact, it has made a 2.5 % (drop) in my body fat. If you are not doing cardio after your strength training you are missing out on burning that extra fat. It took me a solid week of pushing through after

Good Morning All!Hope everyone is having a fantastic week thus far. Early this morning I thought about all the "hoopla" in regard to setting new year's resolutions and new goals for 2010. What is the point, if you are not willing to even test those goals for 30 days? Put your will to the test and make that change. Sure, there is always tomorrow, but what about today, what about now?

It’s that time of year again where everyone makes that New Year’s resolution to get in better shape. Sticking with it is the most difficult part. Some 100-million Americans will make New Year’s resolutions, most of which focus on health goals such as working out or losing weight. However, about four out of every five people who make resolutions fail to keep them mostly due to lack of

The key to overall body fitness and conditioning is to have a strong 'core'. This area is more commonly known as the abdominal or abs for short.
