  • Coconut Oil is it healthy?

  • Sore

    Sore? Here are my 6 Tips to recovering faster!

    Why do we get sore from our workouts? The simple answer is that when we work out, we break down our muscles. That sounds terrible, right? But it’s not. It’s actually exactly what you want! That’s what your body is doing, too. Your workouts create tiny little tears in your muscles, which are then rebuilt when you rest and recover. This is how your body grows stronger, and how you build up more healthy lean muscle. The consequence is some soreness, particularly 24 – 36 hours after your workout, and particularly when you get out of bed in the morning or out of your chair in the afternoon! But we…

  • 10 WAYS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR WORKOUT FOR TOTAL FAT LOSS

    Here are a few tweaks you can add to your workout routine, to maximize fat loss and smash through any plateaus. 1. Lift weights. I can’t say this enough, but if you want to turn your body into a fat burning machine, then you need to lift weights. Lifting weights helps the body build lean muscle and it’s your muscle that burns calories. Therefore, the more muscle you have the better your body will be at burning fat. That’s why in all my workout programs I incorporate strength training. If you already lift weights, don’t be afraid to increase the size you lift for an increased intensity. 2. Get your…
