I’ve made my fitness boot camp clients into burpee converts. They aren’t going door to door giving away burpees just yet, […]
I want to show you a study that reminds you that MORE effort in 30 minutes is MORE EFFECTIVE for fat burning than dropping intensity and training for a longer period.

Let me tell you, I’m working on a reality show […]
It’s simple and inexpensive. Probably one reason the simple jump rope has been over looked. The good news about the jump rope is that it’s also easier on your joints than running. Especially when you jump on both feet, your weight is distributed evenly over both feet rather than impacting one foot at a time. […]
