I THINK everyone wants to be in shape. However, for some reason(s), some people can’t make themselves put in the work. Instead of overcoming the inhibitions, many hold on to these ‘good’ excuses to hold themselves back from making the changes that they truly want, and in some cases, need. Some are even oblivious of […]
Music is absolutely one of the ways to make your workouts more enjoyable. It is the go-to means of getting through workouts. It doesn’t just help to make your workouts less of a drudgery, it can go further to provide you some energy and zeal to workout. You can bear testament to the fact that […]

This is because just like most good things, transforming your body to what you would consider ‘impressive’ takes time and a reasonable level of commitment. Bodybuilding is a never-ending process that requires a high level of consistency, and […]

Sometime ago, I wrote an article titled “why your weight loss plans will fail”. The article touched on factors (mindsets) that doom people’s weight loss plan(s) before they even get off the mark. Many of the factors highlighted were states of mind that make it hard to commit to a weight loss plan (especially when […]
I have written an article which bordered on the science of fat burning and gaining through calories deficit and surplus, but it’s easy to get lost in all the information about calories and how to track it to help achieve weight loss. For an average person, it’s not practicable to keep calculating the number of […]
I usually hate it whenever I haven’t worked out for an extended period of time. I hate it more because I keep thinking of the kind of progress I could have made in that time. I also hate it partly due to my knowledge of the fact that the muscle soreness I’m going to experience […]
The burpee is a full body body-weight exercise. Burpee was created by American physiologist Royal H. Burpee who used it as part of his Ph.D. thesis.
