The Gym: Embracing My Love/Hate Relationship
I was always an active child. I think growing up I tried every single sport that a kid can possibly do. Only two actually stuck: softball and volleyball. If I wasn’t at volleyball practice, I was at a softball game or supporting my brother with his sports. Sports and being active just ran in my family, and I’m so grateful that this healthy lifestyle was ingrained in my head at a young age. I do like working out. I just have a weird relationship with it.

3 Benefits of Drinking a Protein Shake After a Workout
There are many reasons to workout, whether it's to build muscle, or lose and maintain weight. Whatever the reason you choose to workout, there are ways of enhancing your workout for the best results. One of the ways to enhance your workout is by drinking protein shakes during and after your workout. Muscles use amino acids broken down from protein, which is why protein shakes are the ideal drinks when working out to build muscle or lose weight.

Are You Ready to Run a Marathon?
The marathon is the crowning achievement for a runner. After all your running accomplishments, it's no wonder you're considering it. You started with a short walk-run program. Over the following months you kept it up. You walked less and ran more. You signed up for a 5k, then a 10k, and maybe even a half-marathon. Somewhere in the back of your mind that ultimate goal has been looming. It calls to you. At first you dismissed it, but now you wonder. Are you ready? Could you actually do it?

How I Finally Started Working Out (Even Though I Hated It)
I always thought working out was just in my mind: that I wasn't working out regularly because I hadn't figured out how to train my brain to just do it, and not stop doing it. For a lot of hobbies, this is the usual pattern: Try it, do it regularly, and eventually, you'll highlight all the great things about what makes it so much fun and enjoyable for you, therefore motivating you to keep doing it.

Feeling Comfortable in Your Own Skin
While waiting to board an airplane on my way home from the Dominican Republic, I was facing the stairs and could see other travelers walking to their gate. I was flying back to Miami, and there was another flight going to New York City. I noticed something about the young girls and guys headed back to New York City: Nine out of ten were overweight.

The Four Day Split: Revised
Lifting weights has been revised and rewritten so many times in today's modern age that gyms today are hardly recognizable. I am not knocking on Crossfit, OrangeTheory Fitness, Stretchzones, and the other nouveau workouts. In fact, quite the opposite; nowadays people who would never work out are inspired by these differential workout routines. It is really awesome to see a nation, a world, get out and active (as we should be).

Fitness Channels That Will Get You in Shape
When you look up how to easily lose weight thousands of results will show up. When you look up how to easily become skinnier thousands will show up, but how many of these will really help you and get you to your goal? If you're like me and don't have a gym membership or personal trainer you rely on fitness channels on youtube for a workout. Workout videos are really useful especially if you don't have much time or the equipment. Although they are useful there are so many videos and channels you can often get lost and not find the exact workout you're looking for. Over the years I've done many workouts and I've compiled a list of fitness channels that are really helpful and have beneficial workouts.
