  • The Proper Way To Sprint And Run
    By: Nick Dinic | - Sprint work can be a great way to add variety (for both mind and body), to your regular walks. Do the same walking routine as always, but add short sprints of about 50m (about every other letter box or some other marker), then slowly walk about 50m.

  • Can I Get Fit While Watching Tv?
    By: Nick Dinic | - A great way to ensure you actually use that treadmill is to "book yourself in" for treadmill time when your favorite TV show is on. How easy is this? All you have to do is commit to whenever a particular one hour TV show is on. The only rule is that you MUST be on the treadmill for the entire show. If you are absorbed in your TV show you will barely notice your exercising, and because you don't want to miss the start of your TV show, you will be on time.

  • Personal Training On Your Birthday?
    By: Nick Dinic | - We've all heard people jokingly say you can't get fat on your Birthday. Great news! It's true! Because your birthday is one day of the year, that's a mere 0.0027% of your year or about 1/3 of a tenth of 1%.

  • Personal Training Without Gym Machines
    By: Nick Dinic | - Do you need expensive Gym machines to get fit? No- you don't! These overly complicated machines are designed to make exercise easier when we all know the harder you work the more results.

  • Eat Natural To Lose Weight
    By: Nick Dinic | - "If you can't tell where it came from just by looking at, then you shouldn't eat it!" is one piece of nutritional advice we often see in food magazines. Somehow, this adage seems to be too extreme. But slowly, somehow, it makes sense.
