Hey folks. I found another great challenge for you courtesy of Sweat and the City’s website. Check it out here: http://sweatandthecity.com/mydiary.html It’s another workout you can do right at home with no equipment. From what I see it’s the first of many to come.

THIS ONE IS FOR MY ADVANCED READERS ONLY. I don’t suggest my beginners try this. Instead, you folks keep it in mind for when you get stronger. This is one of my absolute favorites. I used to do this combination all of the time in law school and haven’t tried it awhile. It’s so advanced [...]
Gyms are often really crowded especially right after New Year’s because thousands joined to keep those New Year’s resolutions. If you are into superset workouts (which you should be because they are great for fat loss), it can be frustrating because the equipment you want may not be free. While waiting and waiting AND waaaaaaaaaaiting, [...]
This post was inspired by all of you fabulous go-getters who have been inspiring me with your desire to change your lives and get in shape but are just too intimidated by the free weight section to give it a try. There are many reasons I hear for people not wanting to go into the [...]
