Once I started seeing my own results people started asking me what I’ve been […]

I’ve been talking to several people about differences in workouts and which is more effective cardio or HIIT. HIIT is High Intensity Interval Training. The basic theory of it is that you go all out as hard as you can for 2-3 minutes then take a 30 second break and go again. Cardio is more […]

One of the major issues I’ve had since I’ve been working out has been injuries. Over the course of my life I haven’t taken very good care of the body I was given. Through smoking and abusing drugs and alcohol to not going to doctors or dentists I have really started to fall apart. Other […]
