The mixture of caffeine and exercise can end up being negative. The common queries that come with drinking coffee and mixing it with exercise are usually: "Will drinking it and exercising cause me to cramp?" "Will this intake of coffee cause me... Read more

We have all been found ogling the bodybuilders and weightlifters physiques from time to time. Just how do they get such definition in those chest muscles? It takes time and patience, but that sort of physique is naturally available to anybody who is willing to put the time and effort into their exercises.

This will ready your body for a heavy pectoral workout and refrain from any strains. Kicking... Read more

Keeping fit will always be an important part of people's lives. It's what keeps the brain and mind active but is also a lot of fun to do.

Nutrition is also playing a vital role in the elongation of people's lives. The combination of effective exercise and improved nutrition means that the number of... Read more

It has become increasingly popular for actors to naturally gain the ripped physique that is seen on the big screen rather than relying on CGI to provide them with abs. But not all actors and actresses are naturally built this way before they shoot a film. Their structure is forged in a series or rigorous and sweat-inducing workouts, partnered with a very strict diet. What baffles people the most is the sheer speed in which they can alter their body shape and transform into these larger than life characters which they are portraying. Some people are quick to jump to... Read more

We all know who Dwayne Johnson is and that his body has reached some insane levels of toning. Standing tall at a hearty 6 ft 4 and weighing around the 270-pound mark, it's fair to say Dwayne is all muscle and very little fat. His recent roles have encouraged that start to bulk up even more in his pursuit of a Terminator-like physique. This body does not come easily. Dwayne has a grueling daily workout routine which coincides with his 7 daily meals. The meals combine to contain a whopping 5,165 calories and weigh close to 10 pounds. All of... Read more

I wasn’t too well over Christmas, but still managed a 7 mile run on Christmas day! A week later and I’m back in there and killing it! So much so I’ve had some cryotherapy to help me recover from the aches and pains as I push hard to get back to full fitness. And my next fight has just been announced for 17 February 2017. Stay hungry, stay dedicated.   Read more

Modern day fitness is littered with buzzwords and sayings that sometimes can become confusing. There seem to be so many as of late that we have somewhat lost track of which are important. But one we must focus on is meal prep. Why? Because meal prepping can save us valuable time each night and allow us to maintain a high protein diet throughout the week with ease. Food and meal prep can be anything really, you do not need to cook all your meals at one go. Meal prep can include anything from chopping up vegetables to reduce the times... Read more

Seeing as it's the New Year and many of us are assessing our aims for 2017, a lot of us set personal fitness goals to achieve over the next few months - especially if it's been a particularly hefty Christmas in terms of food consumption!

It is often the sum of lots of small changes that leads to a noticeable difference when it comes to shaping up. Which training methods are best for building muscle growth? Different people will recommend very different training methods. For me, personally, the moderate weight, with perfect form, within a repetition range of 12-15 is the ultimate winner. Do not forget you do not want to switch on helping supportive muscle groups but you want to focus solely on the one you are actually training. Big weights and bad form cause damage to the connective tissue and joints whilst require help... Read more
