I got out of doing anything that could be considered active for between 2.5-3 years. Today is the two month mark of me getting off my butt and getting into the gym. I told myself going in that I was only going to weigh on the first of each month since I tend to obsess about things. I am also...

Motivation, desire…the will and determination that makes you get up early…the passion; this is what we all strive for in our daily lives from day to day.

Not so much towards lifting, just everything in general. here's where I am: - 19, turning 20 this month. - 3rd year of university and am extremely frustrated with inability to focus and do well which leads to putting in less effort instead of more - Suffered a high ankle sprain at flag...

I had to take 2 weeks off due to having some moles removed from my back. Had to let the skin heal and obviously couldn't stretch the skin. Well I trained legs on Sunday for the first time in 3 weeks and I can barely walk. I look out of shape and it showed with the weight I'm now lifting. ...

I have noticed lately, that the more I am exposed to healthy lifestyles etc., the more I can sustain my motivation through the week. I got a free fitness mag from my suppliment store and I really like flipping through the pages whenever I am bored. I don't need a magazine to help me "get abs in...
