- Don’t keep treats at home. When you really want it, go out for one.
- Part of fitness is knowing when to rest to prevent injury.
Strong showy muscles come from lifting the crap out of heavy things. Leanness comes from a consistent calorie deficit. Definition comes from lifting heavy things, plus a deficit, plus plenty of leafy, watery potassium rich whole foods…
People who exercised during their workday were 23 percent more productive on those days than they were when they didn’t exercise.
(Recent study from the International Journal of Workplace Health Management)
There’s only 3 things you need to know to get fit:
- Eat real food.
- Train outside of your comfort zone.
- Recover.

I always enjoy your fitness posts. It’s always a motivator and filled with the facts.
