I recently posted about the importance of mobility on my Instagram page. It seemed to have sparked interest in my followers so I figured I would dive a little deeper in the subject for my Fitness Fusion members!
Today's article is a little different than ones I have written in the past. Today we’ll be looking at what it takes to get something you really want. The title makes it sound so easy doesn’t it? But in reality we all know that in most scenarios it is not...
Lets face it, money and finances are always HUGE driving factors in nearly every big decision we ever have to make. Whether you’re buying a house, car, clothes, food, or even a gym membership, you will surely take cost into account. People will usually end up buying something when they perceive the value of the product to be fair or better at the cost it is listed for...
If you’ve been an active gym-goer at any point in your life, it's safe to say that you have at least tried out a regular ‘big box gym’ at some point. These gyms are a dime a dozen, and I will refrain from using names, but they are the type that are open all day (sometimes 24/7), have various strength and cardio equipment, and sometimes will also offer a variety of classes. But there's one big secret they don’t want you to know…
What a wonderful time of year it is! First you have candy shoved in your face for the entire month of October (and most of November depending on how many trick-or-treaters you had), then you dream about turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes...
Today marks the start of our Fitness Fusion Myfitnesspal Nutrition Challenge, so I thought I would write a new blog post just for the occasion! Many people struggle with getting enough protein in their diet, so I thought I would touch on some personal strategies I use that allow me to get enough protein day in and day out while on a budget!
As a personal trainer and gym owner I hear this question all the time. People are always wondering what the best workout routine is, as they are looking for the best results possible in the shortest amount of time possible. There is really a very short, and simple, answer to this questions! The single best workout routine that exists is…
We live in a time where manufacturers know that foods considered or labeled as “healthy” will sell better than those that aren’t (or they can at least jack up the price on those items!). All over the packaging you’ll see health related claims without the nutritional substance to back those claims up...
For this week's article I received a request to write about the many benefits of group exercise classes. And since Fitness Fusion is based around our “FUSE Group Training” classes, and they’re awesome, I figured why not? (Not trying to toot my own horn, but toot toot!)
If you’re no stranger to the gym, i'm sure you’re familiar with this scenario: Stranger comes up to you and offers advice on how you should be performing an exercise, or how many days you should be working out, or how to eat…
Aging, its one of life’s inevitable processes that we all go through. Some people age well, and some, well not so much. For today’s article I am going to discuss what happens to our bodies as we age, and how regular exercise can help to slow the process...
We’ve all heard this one before “I don’t want to lift weights because I don’t want to get bulky.” This single idea has kept countless numbers of women from lifting weights. Today I am going to debunk some common myths about strength training for women, and talk about the numerous benefits!
The title may be a little misleading here, those of you who have been trying know that weight loss isn’t really simple! The steps you can take are quite simple, but the act of putting them into practice and staying consistent is what challenges most people...
Chances are, at some point in your life you’ve looked at a person's body and said to yourself, “I want to look like that!” Years later, you find that you still don’t look like that even though you have been working your butt off in the gym and eating as healthy as you possibly can… what's the deal?! Here’s why…
As long as there’s still gym’s around, there'll be people telling you what you should do, and how often you should do it. But what works for one person, might not be the same thing that would work for another person. For this article I will cover the basics of how many times the average person should be working out each week...
This topic has become more and more talked about in health and fitness lately. You’ll hear one side of the story saying that 6 meals per day is the magic number, yet the other side will say that 3-4 meals is just fine… so which is it?? Lets find out...
Today i’ll be covering 10 of the most common reasons people can’t seem to shed those unwanted pounds, even though they feel as though they should be. Lots of times, people come up with some pretty crazy reasons (excuses) as to why they personally can’t lose weight, but here are my top 10...
Today’s article will be less like a standard article of mine, and more like a list. A list of simple food swaps that can help you reduce the number of calories you ingest daily and therefore help you in your weight loss journey...
As a trainer I see it every single day, someone judging the quality of their workouts by how sore they are the following 1-2 days. Often times, if they are not sore from a workout they feel like they didn’t accomplish anything or that it wasn’t an effective workout at all! But this couldn’t be further from the truth...
It goes without saying that people with different goals should be training with different methods. Someone who only wants to gain muscle should not be doing strictly cardio 5-6 days per week, and someone who’s main goal is to lose fat shouldn’t be only lifting heavy weight 5-6 days per week...
