I mentioned in Facebook today that Chris and I had an awesome back and tricep workout and was then asked to list what we did.  Now in a pledge of full disclosure, I happen to have some equipment at my disposal that many of you may not.  I own both a BowFlex and a Total [...]

With dietary changes in place, you’ll be well on your way to correct your body’s current tendency to hang onto and store calories as fat.  If you consider your metabolism as being similar to a campfire, the diet changes will help you make sure your kindling and wood is dry and ready to burn.  So [...]

In Part 1 of ‘Fab Abs after 40′ I discussed that more than killer ab moves are required for great abs.  Truth is, you are better served by focusing more on overall fat loss.
