Spring Cleaning for the Body & Mind (Without Dieting)

Posted on May 2, 2013 by Rachel Posted in Healthy Eating, Motivation, Nutrition, Self Improvement Leave a comment

It seems everywhere I go women are talking about the hottest diet or quickest way to shed those extra points fast. With spring in full fruition and bathing suit season just around the corner, dieting has quickly become the latest buzz word. From juice cleanses to Weight Watchers, fasting to Atkins, diets are all around us. In fact, I actually saw a book the other week called “The 8-Hour Diet” and thought to myself “Really? This is what it’s coming to?” Is

Broccoli vs. steak......which has more protein? Find out below.

Do you ever feel like a slave to meal time? With all the preaching going on (and a lot of it rightfully so), you know you’ve got to take in enough protein and healthy calories to expect any sort of muscular growth or lasting change in your body.

Remember this? Was this something you dreaded?

Think back to a time before the words “fitness”, “exercise”, or “working out” had much meaning for you. I want you to go way back ; maybe 20 or more years even. Being active didn’t have any connotations tied to it, there was no guilt, and there were no Instagram pictures you took of yourself to show the world how active you are. More often than not, you were simply “playing”. And playing wasn’t so bad – after all, no

While we all know exercise is good for us, sometimes we just aren’t feeling it. OK, maybe it’s a little more than sometimes…or maybe you’re in a downright slump (think: over-extended winter hibernation). Whether it’s too cold, it’s too hot, you’d rather sleep in (seriously, your bed is the comfiest), you don’t have time, you have dinner plans, it’s raining, or you’re tired, we can pretty much think up every excuse in the book to prevent us from getting up

Sexy Strong vs. Fat Strong

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Matt Posted in Uncategorized Leave a comment

So which are you.... Sexy strong or fat strong...?

I think it’s safe to say most of us would agree being “strong” is a good thing. Being strong, physically or emotionally, is generally a desirable trait. It makes sense then, that when most of us train, we’re training to increase our strength. For most people, they associate training to be strong with resistance training (i.e. lifting weights). However, being “strong” extends beyond the power of our muscles. Perhaps not as obvious, but we also train to become stronger when we perform
