The One Thing You Can Do To Help You Reach Your Goals Faster
Think about the last time you had a project to do with a partner. It may have been at school, work, or even at home. For me, it was at home. My wife and I just finished making an outdoor table for our patio. What I want you to think back to was how much quicker…
How To Create An Effective Fat Loss Program
We all know that a solid fat loss program and good nutritional habits are absolutely essential to getting leaner. You can’t have one without the other.

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.

What Personal Training Is Really Like
With all the tv shows and movies out there today, personal training has gotten a bad rap. Think about it. In every movie that has a personal training character, they usually are some sort of drug dealer or creep looking to hustle people. And I know you have seen the tv shows like biggest loser.…
Resistance Band Workout
Getting to the gym can be tough. There are only 24 hours in a day and it often seems like we can’t get a spare minute to ourselves. Working out is sometimes the last thing on our mind even though we know how important it is. So, what are we to do? Well, this is where resistance bands…
The Importance of Taking Action
It’s easy to become really comfortable in life. We get in a daily routine and it becomes hard to deviate from that. This can be problematic when we have a goal we’re trying to accomplish.
