I don’t spend a lot of time on Pinterest, but I know Alissa does, and we often have a big laugh when she’s on the health and / or fitness boards. The amount of misinformation that gets disseminated there is astounding. It would take me a few years to refute all of the incorrect “pins,”…
Once upon a time, we discussed HIIT– High Intensity Interval Training. We discussed why it’s so great, and different ideas for a HIIT routine. Since then we have learned a lot more, and have discovered a fantastic HIIT routine that I would call a definite a** kicker; I would also call it the most effective…
The post about our HIIT cardio routine will come next week. . . For now, we had to debunk an article! On Facebook, people post a lot of links to articles and tips for health, “weight loss,” and nutrition; Often times there are quality articles out there, but it seems like almost as often, there…
Testosterone is a hormone that all bodybuilders strive to elevate, and keep elevated. Testosterone is 100% necessary to build and maintain muscle mass, whereas it’s counterpart Estrogen can, and will, prevent the development of muscle mass.

We’ve done a few vlogs before, but this is our first joint vlog. Enjoy! (And be sure to watch it all the way through!) [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whMBjUZqVNc] Remember, treat people how you would love to be treated in return, and respect lifestyle choices! And on a technical note, we’re sorry about the lighting. We swear we…
Every so often, I read an article, or see a post somewhere with information that is either wrong, misleading, or entirely dependent on your goals. Alissa and I constantly have to preface statements and new ideas with “For my goals,” because all of us want to achieve something different. I’m looking to get to a…
“Don’t give in to peer pressure.” I’m sure we have all heard about peer pressure growing up, but the secret that adults never tell you is that peer pressure exists in adulthood too.

I always say that nutrition is 80% and exercise is only 20%. This may lead people to believe that exercise is not that imperative to a great body. While you can achieve a relatively small body without much exercise, this body will be lacking in tone and definition. Exercise may be the smaller part of…
