    Why Do I Shake When I Workout?

    January 16, 2023 /

    I’m sure you’ve experienced it before – that dreaded moment during a workout when your muscles begin to tremble and shake uncontrollably. It’s like an earthquake in your body! But why does this happen? The most common reason for this is simple and harmless: when we work out, our bodies use stored glucose and ATP (energy) to make the muscle…

    Fitbod Review 2023 – Can This Fitness App Really Help You Build Muscle at Home?

    January 12, 2023 /

    Toward the end of 2021, I was trying to build more muscle mass but was faced with something of a conundrum. For one, I had no desire to join an expensive gym membership and deal with the hassle of driving there every day. But I also couldn’t (and still can’t) do any high-impact, high-intensity exercises because they give me horrible…

    The Advantages and Disadvantages of Fitness Trackers

    January 9, 2023 /

    Pretty much everyone seems to be rocking a fitness tracker these days, from marathon runners and gym rats to power walkers and sports enthusiasts. Heck, I wear two of them. But beyond the hype and trendiness, how effective are fitness trackers when it comes to actually improving our health and fitness? Do they really make you more active and change…

    75 Soft Challenge: 75 Hard’s More Reasonable, Less Injury-Inducing Alternative

    October 4, 2022 /

    A few months ago, I came across a hardcore daily routine on TikTok called the 75 Hard Challenge. Reading through the rules, I immediately thought, “no freaking way!” And I’m not the kind of woman who runs from a fitness challenge. (Trust me, I’ve finished Jillian Michaels’s 90-day Body Revolution program!) But the reality is that working out every day…

    7 Simple But Effective Weight Loss Habits That Have Nothing to Do with Exercise or Diets

    June 18, 2022 /

    The recipe for weight loss is nearly as old as time: Cut out the junk food, hit the gym five times a week, and those pounds will start melting off in no time, right? Not quite.

    9 Signs You Are Gaining Muscle – Even if You Can’t See it Yet

    April 26, 2022 /

    Experts say that you can gain up to 1–2 lbs of muscle per month, but I wouldn’t have believed it when I first started lifting weights. It was so tough to tell if I was making any progress or not, and I wasn’t sure if the tiny changes I did notice were real or just my imagination. It certainly wasn’t…

    Exercise Mat vs Yoga Mat: What’s the Difference and Which One Do You Need?

    April 12, 2022 /

    I’m a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I thought that “yoga mat” and “exercise mat” were synonymous for the longest time. I had a yoga mat that I used for everything, and it was only last year when I realized that there is a whole world of exercise mats out there that are specifically for home workouts. I know…

    How to Reduce the Effects of Sitting All Day – Whether You’re at Home or at Work

    February 21, 2022 /

    Not all that long ago, I was wrapping up a busy workday at home where I had more or less been glued to the screen for eight hours. When I stood up, I felt a sharp pain in my mid-back. Although it caught me by surprise, it shouldn’t have; I’d been sitting all day and my back was paying the…
