This morning, I came across a great Nike ad. It’s just four words: Yesterday you said tomorrow. The ad certainly resonates – and it may sound familiar to you.

After dropping a significant amount of excess weight, one of my longtime friends experienced a dramatic transformation in her life. Because the extra weight prevented her for doing so much, a million new doors of possibility were now opened.

Depending on which expert you ask, there are anywhere from 640 to 850 muscles in the human body.

I love working out alone. I can go at my own pace, do what I want and stay focused. But there’s something to be said for having a workout buddy. In fact, gym partners bring a lot to the table, including: Accountability. If you know that you’re scheduled to meet your workout buddy at the gym, you’re less likely to [...]
A recent survey revealed that just under half of Americans made a New Year’s resolution for 2011. That’s 150 million people – and resolutions – in the United States alone. And according to the data, most of the resolutions involve exercise and/or losing weight. We’re now a week and a half into January, and the initial New Year’s Eve-induced enthusiasm [...]
Tell me if this sounds familiar: You decide to make a huge, positive change in your life by becoming healthier through exercise and nutrition.
