So, here I am in San Francisco. My job doesn’t necessitate a lot of travel—so for me, this is one of those rare glimpses into the corporate world of frequent flyers, awards cards and sky miles. I feel a 5-year old playing dress-up. Though I rarely find myself in hotels, a lot of you do. And sometimes those hotels have [...]

Well, shit… that’s quite a title to live up to. But according to my uncle – and Prevention Magazine – this ab workout lives up to its hype. Over dinner, my uncle told me about the workout. He and his wife have been doing it for a few months, and they’ve seen great results. They’ve both shed a few inches [...]

I always love trying new ab exercises. Doing the same old stuff over and over again leaves me craving a little spice and excitement. Moreover, our muscles can become accustomed to our routine – so it’s wise to switch things up from time to time. So, I was really excited to try the “figure 8″ ab exercise (it targets the [...]

Consistency is key when it comes to exercise; it’s absolutely essential to habitualize your workouts, and thus avoid the see-saw roller coaster that so many exercisers experience. Can you relate to the experience of working out for a week, and then skipping a day that turns into a week that becomes a month? Before you know it, your entire program [...]

Can you handle it? Are you game?! Take my burpee challenge and find out what you’re really made of Okay, here’s the deal: Lots of guys focus primarily on their chest, arms and (sometimes) back. But the legs usually get neglected. A powerful leg workout is one of the foundations of a comprehensive workout program – and so, I want [...]

Dear Davey, How long should it take to see results from working out? I’m relatively new to the exercise game. I’ve been doing resistance training and cardio for about 4 weeks. Thanks for any advice you have. Impatient in Iowa Thanks for such a great question! First, Mr. Iowa, we have to define results. Your “results” are likely different from [...]
