Most people who set goals are really just setting wishes as they do not have the right formula to set goals properly.

Degeneration of bone mineral density naturally occurs in most women, as they get older, if they do not perform some type of regular strength training. As we get older we are also at a higher risk of art... Read More
Have you ever stopped to wonder why some ‘fat burning’ classes actually recommend low to moderate intensity and try to keep your heart rate down? Or why some exercise machines have a chart showing low intensity workouts as being within your ‘fat burning zone’ and higher intensity workouts as being within your ‘aerobic or endurance zone’?
