1. One thing that has helped some of my clients is to take a photo of yourself and stick it on front of your refrigerator.2. One step further with that idea is to take a photo in the same outfit at one month intervals and line them up so you can see your progress.3. Make sure you are working out hard enough to release endorphins. Of course, you will want to talk to a doctor before starting any workout regimen, and you want to make sure that you are exercising at the optimum level for you, your body type as well as your fitness level.

CrossCore® Rotational Bodyweight Trainers™ are only limited by your imagination. If your goal is to gain strength and lean muscle mass then stick with the basic isolation exercises such as chest presses, back rows, bicep curls, tricep presses, squats, hamstring curls and calf raises. CrossCore® provides resistance based on body angle. The more angle involved in an exercise the more resistance that is provided. Most people can easily find an angle suitable to allow them to blast out 6-10 reps per set.

I've watched some of the Olympic Trials and am one of the millions who will watch the Summer Games in London.

Good morning!  Recently I returned from a short vacay.  Like you my plans were to exercise, eat well and enjoy a little R & R.  However I didn't exercise as much as I planned  or eat as well (nutritionally) either.

I met a chinesse tutor that told me that the key to life was moderation. She explained to me that in China most people lived longer because they believed in moderation. I have recently analyzed this view on life and I said this applies perfectly to working out. There has to be a balance. Too heavy weights everytime you workout will lead to injury in the long run. Working out everyday will get your body fighting you and instead of progressing you will regress. The same thing with diet.
