People in this modern age have become more fitness conscious. Most of them are into building muscles these days for this reason.

Before you think about running a marathon, it is advisable to do an assessment – a self-assessment that is. Do you have the required discipline, commitment and desire to run and complete a marathon?

They don’t ask me how they should train or what they should eat. They want to know which supplements to shell out their hard-earned money on.

And I blame this on the slick marketing done by supplement companies. They lead you to believe that by taking their protein powder or fat loss pills, [ Continue Reading ]
