How To Exercise

Please note that exercising in proper postural alignment will increase your workout's effectiveness and substantially decrease your likelihood of injury. Therefore, correct posture should be maintained at all times during your exercise program.

Stay-At-Home Mom Gets Huge Biceps from Weight Lifting

In just drive me nuts, but there is a big misconception that women who lift weights will get muscle-bound and bulky. Well, it's as legit as those cheesy infomercials trying to sell you toning products for your rear-end or even those crazy breast enlargement pills. Remember those things? In my best English accent, it's plain rubbish.

Let's expand on the myth that women should not train with weights.

Physical Fitness for Couch Potato's

During a typically day, we Americans clearly spend far too much time watching TV, sitting behind a desk at work, driving everywhere and altogether living a sedentary lifestyle. It’s killing us! In fact, there is a direct correlation between watching the boob tube and obesity according to research.

Couch potatoes, young and old, far and near, it’s time to fight back and make your health and physical fitness a higher priority.

Soccer Mom is Now Able to Keep Up With Active Kids

Julie is also a self-proclaimed “soccer mom” and use to be fit and healthy. On most days of the week, Julie feels like staying in bed and keeps hitting her snooze button. She frequently thinks about when she was younger and knows she’s in desperate need of a change. Do you know the feeling?

Fast forward six months. Julie has completely transformed her body and how she feels about herself inside and out.

Tummy Toning Exercises? Don't Waist My Time!

Yes, it's yet another health and fitness myth - relying on "spot reduction," "tummy toning," and "stomach fat exercises for a flat tummy" are all a total "waist" of time when it comes to working to get those hips, thighs and tummies slimmer.

It's a myth because you simply can't control where the fat builds up or where you choose to lose it from.
