Best Articles From The Previous Week: July 5 2015
So today is a very special day. It’s my 2nd wedding anniversary! My wife and I will be having dinner at the restaurant where our reception was held two years ago. Then we’re gonna watch the USA take on Japan in the Women’s World Cup championship. Suffice to say, it’s going to be a pretty…
5 Easy Food Switches You Can Make To Save Calories
One of the topics I have written about heavily over the past couple of months has been creating a caloric deficit. I cannot stress enough how important this is for weight loss and fat loss. The two ways to create a caloric deficit are 1) eat less food or 2) exercise. In my experience, most people…

This will be the start of a brand new series! I know a lot of people like learning about health, fitness, and nutrition but are unsure where to find quality information. I decided to start compiling a list from the previous week on some of the best articles I come across. This will be an easy…
How To Properly Train Your Abs

Sugar Isn’t Responsible For Making You Fat
Sugar is bad for you, right? That seems to be all we’ve been hearing lately. It is responsible for America’s weight gain and rising obesity. But the question I want to propose is, is that the real reason why? I recently viewed the documentary Fed Up. If you don’t know anything about it, I’ll give you…
Common Rowing Mistakes
I would argue that rowing or pulling is not done enough in most workout programs. There’s usually lots of pressing and biceps curls 🙂 It’s a shame because rowing is very important to posture and shoulder health. Many jobs now-a-days have you sitting down hunched over at a computer for most of the day. Even…
One Simple Nutrition Tip For Better Results
Nutrition is usually the limiting factor towards any fat loss goals. It can be easy to go to the gym, but where the wheels tend to fall off is around one’s personal eating habits. It can be hard to trade that piece of cake for an extra serving of vegetables, right? That’s why many people…
