    June 10, 2015 / No Comments

    Get high-protein, healthy food delivered to your door! I’ve been looking for something like this for years. My life consists of being a mother, working at home and outside of the home, and training. Shopping for food — or shopping at all — is one of my least favorite things…

    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.

    May 27, 2015 / No Comments

    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…

    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…

    woman with developed shoulders

    The Warm-Up: Always warm-up before a workout. Doing so prepares your muscles to work, and can decrease your chances of injury. A warm-up is said to “activate” muscles. Which, in theory, helps with growth. I wish I paid heed to this rule when I was a newbie. Then, never did…

    Unilateral Exercise

    May 8, 2015 / No Comments

    Unilateral exercises follow a more natural movement pattern for the body than bilateral movements. When was the last time you saw an athlete hop, rather than run?
