Yoga

Yoga. There are a ton of benefits that come from doing yoga. Overall, it is good for your whole body, but there are some key aspects of it that can help when added to your regular fitness routine.
1. After working out, you probably experience soreness and muscle aches. Yoga does very well to help ease the pain, as it stretches your muscles and relaxes your whole body.
2. Most of us these days don't always get enough sleep, or the quality of sleep that we would like. Doing yoga helps you sleep well, and you need sleep for your muscles to have time to recover.
3. Even if you are going for a thick frame and big muscles, it does't hurt to to have some muscle tone, and yoga ensures that you get that tone working for you.
No matter what your fitness goals are, yoga is a very good full body work out that can make you feel better about yourself; give you more self-confidence, which is never a bad thing.
Feel good, look good.

Monday-Chest and triceps

Hey everyone!

Its Monday! In the gym universe we all know what that means.. Chest day! Here is a workout for you to try on the infamous chest day!

The rep range that we will be doing today is 10,8,5,5. Your first set is going to act as a warm up, throw on some weight you think you can do about 10 times. The next set of 8 reps is where we are going to start to add some weight. Increase the amount of weight you did from 10 reps to where the 8 reps will be pushing you to the max. Make the same jump from your 8 rep to your 5 rep. The last set is gut check time. Add even more weight than your previous 5 rep and get after it for 5 more. Really push yourself, even if you cannot get 5, do your best to challenge yourself and push yourself to the max. What your body can do will really surprise you.

Feel good; Look good

Welcome back everyone!

Fitness.. That seems to be the focus of a lot of people these days. Everyone seems to be trying new diets and posting there gym seflies. It is great to see so many people getting out there and trying to change there lives for the better. I know for me it wasn't always all about the gym life. Its tough to get out there and do it day after day after day. Where did my motivation come from? Its got to come from within. Something in your brain and your mind needs to tell you to get out there and go do it. Make a change. Thats what has lead me to where I am right now.

Feel good, look good. I want you all to keep this in your mind and close to your heart. Fitness is about you! Its about you feeling better about yourself and making yourself a better person. It shouldn't be to go out there and be bigger than someone else because they called you small once. That may be a good driving factor for a day or maybe even a week. But it boils down to you. If you feel good about yourself and you are out there working your tail off week in and week out, your going to look good.

Keep that in mind this week as your head out there. Keep up the good work!
Stay tuned for more health and fitness!
