It breaks away from the most traditional method – periodization. It might sound complicated when you first read about it, but in practice, it’s relatively simple and

Continue reading →Merely one of many fat loss miracles featured on the Dr. Oz show, I’m sort of surprised that garcinia cambogia is still so popular. The others, such as yacon syrup and green coffee bean, seemed to fade out of the public eye once they got their 15

Continue reading →So much attention is paid to proper training strategies and racing tactics, while pre-race warm ups are often taken for granted. It’s like good nutrition – it might not be the #1 factor in your race performance, but it sure helps! Warm ups are confusing though. You
