Losing weight doesn't have to be complicated. It's simply a matter of calories in versus calories out. Here are 5 tricks you can start using TODAY. Imagine how good will it feel to see the scale go down! 1) WALK EVERY DAY The absolute simplest & quickest way to start burning more calories is to start walking. And I said WALKING, not trying to run a marathon. Make the time to walk 30-60 minutes a day. You can even get PAID to do so, if you like dogs. PRO TIP: Listen to audiobooks or podcasts when you're out for a...

Gyms aren't really open in 2021, so you have to make do with what you've got... and you've always got your own body. That’s all you need to turn yourself into a WEAPON OF WAR… Here's my breakdown of my top 10 bodyweight exercises. 1) INVERTED ROW I bet you weren't expecting this as #1. Inverted rows have become a FAVORITE staple of mine. They're fantastic for developing the upper back & biceps without overstressing the shoulders.

That tool is called intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is a diet strategy...

When I talk about bodybuilding I mean the process of achieving the physique that you want. The process of losing fat, building muscle, and developing willpower. Bodybuilding doesn't just mean big muscles. Bodybuilding is how we train the body to achieve the look we want. Whether that's toned, fit, jacked, or roided-out.

Like most fitness questions, how often you should train is "it depends." If you have the time and the ability to recover between lifting sessions, then I recommend six days per week. At a bare minimum, try to lift at least three days per week. From there, you can play with different frequencies and training splits to see what works best for you. I personally like lifting six days per week with the seventh day dedicated to rest or relaxing. To understand frequency, first you need to understand how it affects muscle growth and progress. More isn't always better. If...
