    Supporting Your Fitness Habit on a Budget

    February 19, 2016 / No Comments

    As a broke single mom, I’ve struggled to stretch my budget to meet my caloric and nutritional needs as well as cover my gym membership. Some years were good, others were bad, moneywise. I’ve always had to scratch my head and figure out the best way to meet my fitness…

    Are Body Comparisons Your Doom?

    December 27, 2015 / 2 Comments

    I strongly believe that setting the goal to look like someone else, whether it’s just arms, legs, abs, or another person’s whole body, is a doomed prospect. Everybody is unique, so setting the goal to look like another person is illogical. Life isn’t a Disney movie: you’ll never magically turn…

    Workout clothing for hot men: https://www.masscular.com/ The clothing is not ostentatious, Ed Hardy-like tanks with screaming phrases that make the wearer seem childish (you know what I mean). The Masscular website is also very professional and the men are FIT…nice to see.

    I don’t believe in doing indirect exercises in hopes of a direct result. A lot of people preach that all you need to do for a nice butt is deep squats. That’s not entirely true. Some people are genetically un-gifted when it comes to their glutes. I’m one of those…

    woman doing plyometric leg exercise

    Plyometric exercises are short-burst movements that involve propelling your body off the ground. These movements require a lot of energy and burn calories during and after exercise. Plyometric training is often categorized as high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Recently, many exercise scientists and elite trainers have attested to the effectiveness of plyometric exercise over steady-state…
