How A Personal Trainer Can Keep You On Track
Consistent effort over time. Transforming yourself into who you want to be will not be done overnight. It won’t be quick, but nothing worthwhile ever is. So what gets you through the slumps, through the low points when you want to quit and give up because it feels like you are just spinning your wheels? […]
Working on strengthening the lower body with some dead-lifts.
Habits are very powerful things. We see the dominance these routines have in almost every aspect of our lives. Anytime we go about a task on autopilot, we are practicing a habit. Growing up, many habits are helpful, such as when parents makes their children brush their teeth every night before going to bed. It […]
