The First Month

If 2017 has turned into a year where you are dragging your feet, and you are eager for a lifestyle change involving health and fitness, one of the biggest hurdles to overcome is getting started.  I have found that sometimes it’s not just entering the gym for the first time— it’s actually continuing during those…

Tighten Your Core

If you are new to working out, you may not consider what your core (everything except your extremities) are doing when working out.  It’s easy to forget.  You may be focused on lifting with your arms or focused on a leg workout, but in almost every single strategic motion during heavy lifting it is important…

Ask any gym owner and you’ll always hear the same thing.  Attendance for gyms always rises in the early parts of the year. It’s easy to see why; people yearn to shake off the holiday pounds, and many people spend New Years thinking about goals. Why is it that goals do not remain as high…
