Damp 2021
If my prescribed drugs would allow me to imbibe, I’d have a double Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey every day of this first month of the new year. That doesn’t mean my mouth (or year, for that matter) will be dry, it’s just that the “damp” will be from my sweat, not my choice of beverage! Our family gifted ourselves a high-end stationary bicycle for Christmas. I’ve already charted a schedule to ride at least a half an hour, six days each week.

Do this 5-minute workout to stay fit daily (with illustrations and videos)
In this era of occupied and hectic life, with tight and strict schedules we all struggle to find time for ourselves, our health, and fitness. Being a full-time learner and part-time freelancer I hardly have any time for myself. This got me frustrated as I was having a LOT of health issues, be it your body pain, neck pain, or gaining weight day-by-day.

The Citizen, the Challenger, and the Fighter
A Fourth Group? Before I go any further, I must discuss a fourth group. If there is a fourth group in the Fitness Society, which I only exclude because they may not yet have truly entered it, that group is undoubtedly the Novice.

Your Favourite Sport You Haven’t Started Yet
For some, running can be a tough slog. Each step feels like its own marathon, each breath feels like it could be the last. These people may try to get into running time and time again, either to become healthier or to improve their physical fitness, but deep down, they're hating every second of it. What if I told you it didn't have to be this way?

How To Add More Weight To Your Squat TODAY!
How would you react if I told you you could add anywhere from 5-20lbs more to your squat today? You would probably react the same way I did before I became a personal trainer with a corrective exercise specialization. I soon learned through my schooling that proper mechanics can lead to an increased performance and there was a way to seriously have an impact on your workout THAT DAY. Flabbergasted at what I had learned I wanted to try it out for myself. At that point in my life I had hit a hard plateau on my squat, no matter what I did I couldn’t squat more than 225lbs. Wanting to break through that plateau I did a self assessment on my lower body to find any movement dysfunctions. Come to find out I lacked ankle mobility on my left leg that caused me to distribute most of my weight to my right leg as I dropped into the squat and came out of it. Using corrective exercise techniques such as mobility and foam rolling to bring me back to my optimal movement patterns. Once I got under the bar I knew I was going to do It! I worked my way up to 225lbs and now I was going to attempt 230lbs. As I descended into the squat I got nervous. “What if I fail the rep?” I thought as I hit the bottom of the squat. Driving my feet through the floor I came out of the squat with some gas left in the tank. I finally broke through my plateau! Jumping with excitement as I thought to myself “I could do 235lbs for sure!” After taking my rest break, I got under the bar with my newly found confidence and 235lbs. I had completed the 235lb squat too! Knowing my limits, I stopped there and finished the rest of my workout elated with the result of correcting my movement patterns.

How Many Calories Can You Burn with a Bodyblade?
I'm usually not one to buy into "As Seen on TV" products. And normally, something like the Bodyblade would have no interest from me. However, my friend gave me one because she never used it. And, I found that you can experience a pretty good calorie burn from the Bodyblade.

The Citizen, the Challenger, and the Fighter
Would it be better if we were all Fighters? If you mean “if we were all Fighters in the Fitness Society,” my answer is, "maybe, on some level," but it is not possible. Why? Not because the vast majority of people are “weak,” but because the world requires more than Fighters in the Fitness Society in order to function. It requires Fighters in numerous societies: the Societies of politics, hearth and home, business, advocacy, innovation. If society were made up of nothing but elite-level bodybuilders, powerlifters, weightlifters, track and field athletes, wrestlers, and ballers of all sorts, 9/10th of society would cease to function. There would not be adequate structure for all of these athletes to compete; and what’s more, there would be such a broad pool of talent to choose from....the task of winning glory by being the best would become incalculably harder, if not impossible.
