We all know that we should be drinking water (and lots of it) for optimum health and fitness. I know that sometimes I kind of lose my focus and even though I am still drinking water, I’m not putting forth the effort needed to drink it in the quantity that I would like. Every once [...]

I must admit. I LOVE my stability ball. My stability ball is probably the most versatile and inexpensive component of my home gym. I use it for stretching, doing ab exercises, squats, and lifting weights.

I like resistance bands because they are a great way to get in a gym quality workout that can be done at home without breaking the bank or devoting half of my living space to it. Plus, I like a lot of variety in my workouts. And, they’re just plain fun.
Using resistance bands gives me [...]

Our core strength is a key component to our overall fitness. Sometimes I get tired of doing the same type of crunches over and over again. So, I’m always on the look-out for new ways to change my “two-pack abs” in for “six-pack abs”.
