Go Hard in less than 20 minutes…

I was writing on my Twitter profile earlier where the message was something like this ….

Atkins, Maple Syrup, Smoothie diets and your metabolism

For the most part, I’m a big advocate of eating on a regular basis to stay lean and trim and perform to a high level in front of the desk, on the job and training with my kettlebells.

On your marks, get set…

One of the great exercise debates going on in gyms and houses around the world is what works better, Anaerobic or Aerobic training.
To put it bluntly, I’m not a fan of aerobic training if you want to melt fat fast.

Getting kicked up the butt…

 

 
What were you doing 77days ago?
I know, funny question, but there is a point, you see, today is day 76 of 2009 which means that 77 days ago you were celebrating New Year’s Eve and, like most people, you were setting up your New Year’s Resolutions and goals.

What happened when I had to rush off to work…

This morning I spoke to a lady enquiring about services and the same concern that she has had with fitness comes ups time and time again.
