Your Mom Was Right, Cheaters Never Win!

I was talking today with a lady that told me that she has been doing crunches and sit ups for the last month and still can't seem to lose any weight. She was complaining about her metabolism and said that everyone in her family is overweight.

She told me that she quit drinking so much Coke and drinks three or four bottles of Iced tea instead, (sweetened). She doesn't eat after 9:00 at night, unless she is watching TV,and then only eats some pretzels with dip.

I'm listening to this lady

Steroid Heads: They're Too Sexy For This Gym!

So, I was at the gym the other day and this guy walks in like he owns the place. He starts slamming weights around and doing his best to intimidate anyone that will make eye contact with him.

You know the type, the steroid popping, muscle head that thinks he's too sexy for the gym! Thinks he's gods gift to women and better than most men, because he chooses to take steroids, growth hormone, or both.



[Remember Right Said Fred? He's too sexy for this gym, too sexy for this gym, what you

The Best Muscle Building Supplement- Creatine Wins!

I am often asked what is the best muscle building supplement out there, or do supplements really work? My initial response is that most of them are a complete waste of time and don't bother wasting your money. If I am being honest though, I do belief that there is one worth giving a try, which I will talk about later in this post. With the strong marketing messages in magazines, on the internet, and even the packaging on the products themselves, it is hard to resist trying the latest gimmick eve

Weight Loss: Showing Up is The Most Important Thing

One of the things that I see most people struggle with in their weight loss efforts is consistency. It's easy for most people to start a new diet or start working out, the hard part is sticking to it. If you can only have the same excitement and determination three weeks in to it as you do in the beginning, you would be fine.

In reality though, this rarely happens. This is why most people spend their life searching for new diets and workout programs, even though everything that they try never

Top 5 Things To Look For in a Personal Trainer

I see people at my gym everyday following along with a personal trainer and learning the "proper" way to train. I think that it is a good way to start out if you are a beginner or even if you are a little stagnant and want to see things from someone else's point of view.

But are these people really learning the right way for their body or are they doing a typical "cookie cutter" routine that all of the new people in their gym do? If you are new, I really don't feel that it is as important wha

Weight Loss Fasting: Here I go Again!

I have been preaching the power of weight loss fasting ever since I discovered how incredible it works. When I find something that works as good as fasting, specifically intermittent fasting, I just feel that I need to tell you guys about it and pound it in to your heads. In my mind, it is the best way to not only lose fat, but also to control your weight for good.

I really feel that I never have to worry about what I can and can't eat, or count calories, or do any of the pain in the ass diet

Gaining Weight As You Get Older? Don't Blame Your Metabolism.

A funny thing happened the other day at the gym. I was talking to this guy about losing weight and he said, "Yeah, it's easy for you to lose weight! Just wait until you hit fifty, then you'll see that it's not that easy anymore!" I am 41 and I can still remember people telling me to just wait until I hit thirty . . . then forty . . . and now fifty! He went on to tell me that my metabolism is going to slow down and before I know it, I am going to gain 15 lbs of fat. So apparently if someone is ol
