Many who think of strength training equipment think of the massive muscles that many bodybuilders get and consequently show off in competitions. This can be a plus or a drawback for many consumers. The average consumer likes to be able to say feel good about themselves when they go swimming, but many are concerned about building too much muscle and suffering from stereotypical viewpoints. This needn’t be a worry for anyone considering strength training equipment.

The average body builder works out a lot in order to get the muscles they are famous for, plus they have to be on a very strict regimen with lots of protein and little or no fat. It would take you a lot of effort to become as built as the average bodybuilder. Many consumers can use simple free weights in order to [ Continue Reading ]

If I had a dollar for every supplement question I was asked, I’d be a millionaire.

And that’s unfortunate, because supplements are just that -they’re supposed to go with your good training and nutrition, not take the place of them. No supplement takes the place of good hard work in the gym– none.

I had gained weight and kept it with each pregnancy and I was older,(40) when I had my last child. I quit weighing myself but I knew I was over 200lbs. and a size 20. I am 5′6′ and around 150lbs was what I considered my fighting weight. My husband had often commented that I ate as much as a man. He’s just a little mean honest!

Well here’s the story, after 6 months of walking for [ Continue Reading ]

So, you’ve figured out your diet. You’re eating frequent small meals that are high in protein, whole grains and vegetables. Now, you’d like to add a few supplements to your diet. (Make sure your diet is rock solid before adding supplements—because a “supplement” is just that “an add on, not a base”). However, with so many supplements out there and a limited budget, how do you know what to purchase and what should be disregarded as marketing hype? Well, below is a list of supplements in order of importance:

Daily Multivitamin

A lot of people may overlook this supplement, but it is nonetheless the most important. Vitamins and minerals contained in multivitamins are essential to many functions of the human body. These [ Continue Reading ]
