Obsession: One Key Thing for Achieving Fitness Goals
People who are successful in their field have a big obsession with what they want to achieve. As a fitness enthusiast, I believe that I have made great changes on my goals and become successful at it due to my obsession with wanting a change. However, I am talking about obsession in a way that keeps us moving forward towards our goals and not when it comes down to start controlling our life.

My Gym Starter Story
So, as you can tell from the title, I started the gym about one month ago and it has been a big struggle for me. It all started when I moved in with my partner about one year ago and realized that my jeans were starting to get a little tight about six months in, and for the life of me I thought it was because I was using a tumble dryer, so I thought nothing of it and just changed to air drying them.

Starting a New Workout Routine
Hello friends, fans, and family, I hope that you are having an awesome day. And if you are not having a good day, then I am hopeful that after reading this you will be having an awesome day. I started a new workout routine and food intake program for the purpose of losing weight and trimming up. It is a big thing for me because I love to eat, and I also enjoy sweets. I also developed a community of friends in the place that I ate at. So, I felt compelled to go there and I wanted to go because my friends were there. This became a problem when I decided to eat better and lose weight and to get back into the gym.

My Experience and How It Led to Fitness
Successful men in the media are more often than not portrayed as strong, tough, and respected; that idea of the "macho man." Men are often consumed with the idea of being "alpha," and feeling weak can make us feel demotivated and, quite frankly, useless. And being bullied for it certainly doesn’t help! But how do we overcome that? How do we turn such a negative experience around into one that benefits us?

Exercises for Busy Girls
Exercising is a priority to most people, but not everyone can make it to the gym everyday. Exercising is proven to not only help you look better, but to also make you feel better by having more energy and a healthier body to be happy in, which is why it is a goal or priority for most people. Most people also have a job, which consumes the time you wish you had for the gym. With summer right around the corner and such busy schedules, working out can be difficult. Trying to find the time or even the space to work out when you have kids, work, or low on a budget is trying, but with these quick and easy exercises, you can work out anywhere! With 15 minutes and your favorite cozy space, you can transform your body into what you’ve always wanted. Check out these at-home work outs to boost your motivation and inspiration.

Getting A 'Beach Body' When You Hate Diets
With summer almost here, women and men are rushing to try and get a beach ready body. What if you hate all the healthy stuff that comes with going on a diet though? I mean don't get me wrong ,I love fruits and most vegetables, but I would rather jiggle like jello than have to drink a kale smoothie. Not to mention my idea of cardio is walking to the refrigerator to get another piece of pie or a beer. So where does that leave us? How do we get a beach ready body without being completely miserable while doing it? Well, like most things in life, it all comes down to how you decide to go about it.

Children and Weights
Coffee and weight training will stunt your growth; these are two fallacies that have lived long past their due. Now the former was created to keep kids away from caffeine, because let’s be honest, they probably don’t need extra energy. However, I can’t quite figure out the latter. Could be for the safety of the children; the weight room can be a dangerous place. It was often said that the growth plates will become fractured due to the forces exerted. In a careful environment and safe manner, this is not a problem. In fact, no evidence exists that suggest weightlifting inhibits a child’s growth, according to Dr. Feigenbuam and Dr. Baraki [article posted at bottom].
