Are you tired of dieting and starving yourself and...
My thoughts on fasting I think are unique and some people may disagree with my point of view but I am still going to share it. Fasting is a touchy subject because when you want to lose weight and get lean there are a lot of programs out there that promote fasting to get you results.
My problem with fasting in my opinion especially if it is done over a long period of time is, it can kill your...

Lost in your workout and don't know where to...
When you are trying to make fitness a lifestyle you must make sure that you are not progressing too fast. One of the biggest mistakes beginners make when starting their workout program is they do too much too fast.
What I tell clients all of the time is too make sure that you are controlling your ambition. It is good to have ambition and goals but you must have the mental discipline and...

Anonymous asked: I'm not sure if you answered this or anything like it already, but I have been suffering with some depression for the past couple of months. I feel like I've always had it to some extent, but it's been getting increasingly worse. I've tried medications before, only to find them unsuccessful, and I'm just sort of at the end of my rope here. I was wondering what the benefits...

Crossfit
I believe that crossfit is an amazing program and it has it’s place in a workout regimen. But I will give my opinion which a lot of people disagree with, which is ok but I don’t think crossfit is a long term solution.
Crossfit for those of you who do not know what it is, is a workout program that is primarily Olympic lift based and your goal is to mostly challenge your...

Stress, Metabolism, and Fat Loss
Something that is rarely talked about but makes a massive difference in how your body reacts to exercise is stress. You may be thinking to yourself, why am I not getting the results I want even though I am eating a low calorie diet and exercising consistently?
The answer to that can lie in how well you handle stress and how your body is reacting to it. You...
Anonymous asked: Hey Greg! I'm Mo from the tumblog visetceleriter. My friends have signed me on to a 10km run in mid-July, and I'm freaking out!

It is a tool that their users say have helped them walk 43% more steps per day and lose an average of 13 pounds while using it.

"How to Lose your Lower Belly Fat"
The most common question is how to lose your lower belly fat so that you can look tone. The key to losing the lower belly fat is to make sure you are exercising your abs correctly as most people perform their ab crunches focusing too much on how many reps they are doing and not enough of their energy on how intense their reps are.
do hanging leg raises and roman chair leg lifts

Add variety to your fitness program to get a balanced body and balanced results. For example, if you always lift weights then try Pilates. If you always do the treadmill then run hills outside. Even try something like mma training or swim training. The more variety you add the better your results will be.
Anonymous asked: OK, so this is a bit of an embarrassing question to ask but will working out decrease the size of you butt like it does your breasts? Because I'm bigger on my bottom half (quite a bit actually lol), but I actually really love my curves. I just want to firm and tone up my butt, not lose it.
