Not Eating Enough May Be Halting Your Weight Loss
Something you hear on the regular is that in order to lose weight, you must either reduce your caloric intake (how much you eat), or your calorie expenditure (how many calories you burn). You hear this a lot because it is TRUE. Weight loss at the end of the day, is nothing more than than calories […]
What’s The Deal With Stretching?
I posted two polls on Instagram earlier this week, one asking “do you think stretching pre workout/during you warmup is good for you/will help improve your performance?”, and “do you consider stretching and warming up the same thing?”. I have to say, I am SURPRISED by the results. 88% of the people who answered my […]

What Kind Of Shoes Should You Workout In?
You can walk into the gym on any given day and see a wild array of many different shoes. If you’re new to the gym, this is likely confusing – I know when I first started working out I hadn’t the slightest clue what I should be throwing on my feet. I was a wrestler […]
