My Barbell Experience
I'm here today to talk about my barbell experience, and how it changed my life! As many people think, lifting weights shouldn't be done by women because it makes them 'too' muscular. BUT that isn't my take on it and here's why..

The Case for Having Someone Else Program Your Workouts
In order to improve as an athlete, we often look for external guidance. Within each sport, there is a coach available to provide one on one assistance through the form of program writing. Here is a case for one to pursue this option.

If you read my first post and are back, thank you for returning. If you are new, a quick intro. I am using this as a resource to track my training as a slightly above-average cross-fitter. I will post my workout each day and provide some insight into the day. I hope that someone else following a similar course can use this as motivation and guidance. Happy reading

I'm not sure what is expected when it comes to these posts. While most people seem to give advice on topics, I’m going to use this probably a little differently. I will post my workout from the day, how I performed, and my insights as things progress. I hope this can give insight to some other Crossfit athletes that are trying to be better than average like me. I am nowhere near being a games athlete, but I do consider myself highly competitive.

How To Reach Your Fitness Goals
Our world is obsessed with image. Everywhere you go there is an astounding exertion of pressure on people to look a certain way, from the people in your favorite bits of media to the everyday advertisements trying to sell you the most banal products; if you don't have washboard abs or a sculpted set of glutes, you are nothing, and you are not worth a single iota of happiness or attention. Apparently, to have any resounding sense of worth to yourself or the society around you, you have to possess the qualities of Barbie and Ken if you want to truly make it anywhere in life.

My New Exercise Programme
My first blog post... my road starts here! I thought my first post should be centered around something I'm doing and have an interest in, so there is no better place to start than my current exercise program!

Weightlifting Versus Powerlifting
In strength sports, there are two main forms of competition, and those are weightlifting and powerlifting. Many people believe that these sports are the same thing, or at least that the sports are relatively the same, but they are not. When I began powerlifting, people would come up to me and ask me questions that pertained to weightlifting, or people would simply ask if I was a weightlifter. After a few times, explaining that I was not a weightlifter got tiring, so I would just say no and walk away. The few times I did explain the difference, however, I would describe how weightlifting and powerlifting contrast. Weightlifting and powerlifting differ in their movements, techniques, and rules.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Side of Working Out with Your Phone
So you’re finally committing to your New Year’s resolution or you’re just sick of what you see in a full length mirror — where do you begin? You say to yourself, “I’m doing this!” You jump onto Amazon with a full head of steam and begin browsing through page after page of workout equipment, fitness trackers, and videos claiming to “transform” your life. Then, it finally dawns on you, there has to be an app for this, right? But which app is the perfect app for me: cardio, running, or maybe weightlifting. Let’s take a look at the best for each skill level, price range, and preference.
