Power Sprint Pyramid Workout
Running is probably one of the most natural ways of moving for human beings. Our ancestors couldn’t probably live a day without running, because their lives may have depended on their ability to run.

Lesson Learnt: Eat Your Fats!
I was active and fit throughout my teenage years. When I was in high school I walked 20 minutes to school and back everyday. I played basketball twice a week and I had track and field practice three times a week. The weekends were pretty active, too. In my family, we never sat around all […]

Remember this fun piece of workout equipment from when you were a kid? I sure do! Of course, as a kid, I never used the jump rope for workout purposes. Jumping was just a fun thing to do with friends. We would do basic jumps with two feet, alternating feet, we hopped one foot and even tried to […]
