Just what we need… another pre-workout, right? Pre-Instagram, there were only a handful of options for pre-workouts, but ever since social media fitness has blown up, there are countless brands that I don’t even know. Anyone can find the individual components for most pre-workouts online and then blend them together, so why bother paying a premium for someone else’s? Well, why don’t you try making your own and then give Blackwolf a shot, and let me know what you think.
When I started in the fitness industry, nearly 15 years ago, there were nowhere near as many brands as we see today. From pre-workouts and protein bars to fitness apparel and online coaching, advancements in social media and the internet have created a massive boom. While we’ve been asked to review an incalculable number of products and services, you might be surprised to know that many never make it to the blog. While there are brands we love that we drive valuable traffic to every day, there are also brands that we would never recommend because they’re painfully obvious money-grabbing attempts to capitalize on the growth in our industry. Then, there are the brands in the middle of the pack.
For me, Born Tough is one of those brands and the next few years could make or break the business.
Everything ranging from refrigerators, watches, phones, and even scales are going smart thanks to the ever-advancing digital technology. We now have the smart BMI scale that is quickly becoming popular because of its capabilities. The scale is used to measure the body mass index, which refers to the normal weight and the body composition in fat percentage. Therefore, a smart BMI scale uses an app to help track data and communicate the results with the user. The device collects data and stores it in systems like smartphones or computers.
Exercises of any type are highly beneficial to you, both on a physical and mental level. You simply need to find the exercises you like and that work the best for your body and fitness goals and you can start your healthier lifestyle. However, there has always been a debate on whether working out at the gym or outdoors is better for you. Both of these environments have their pros and cons, and it will be up to you to decide based on your preferences.
We’ve been getting tons of questions about this lately. People who work out every day at the gym are stuck at home without equipment and don’t want to lose their progress. With no end in sight for the quarantine, especially in order to combat poor eating habits at home, people are trying to put together home gyms in order to maintain their progress, or prevent gaining fat/losing muscle mass. There are a few challenges though…
This video on YouTube will help you with some recommendations/tips for cardio equipment at home. To summarize part of it, look for less commercial pieces that don’t have a ton of moving parts or electronic components, such as a Schwinn Airdyne or Indoor Cycling Bike, such as the ones we have (below) in our home gym.
We know that it has probably been really challenging for you to adapt to major changes since this pandemic really took off. Some of us are more impacted than others, but most of our readers from major cities don’t have access to gyms because of mandated closures. That is, however, no excuse to let you goals and level of fitness fail. There are countless trainers out there, who can’t work right now, making amazing content for both their followers and the rest of the public. Here are a few that have been putting out amazing workouts with little to no equipment, for even longer than the quarantine.
It’s a great feeling when you’re confident about the look of your body. Just think of how good you felt on those days you had clear skin, your hair was just right and your favorite outfit fitted you perfectly. Yet those of us who have issues might not feel that way very often and one of those problem areas we may have could be our legs.
Whether you have trouble with trousers, or you feel like you need to keep your legs covered up on even the hottest days there are things you can do to help. Have a look at some of these suggestions to see what could work for you so you can wear your shorts or skirt this summer, and get those jeans you’ve had your eye on.
Welcome back, everyone, to another episode of it took me forever to publish this article. How long? Well, way back in late June of last year, Charles from Built Bar reached out to us and asked us to provide an honest review of their “fairly new” protein bar. They’re not fairly new anymore. Within a week, they arrived, but were completely melted into oblivion as our delivery driver left them in the sun. Logan from Built Bar quickly sent us another box and we grabbed them without any issues since Hurricane Barry protected them from the sun.
So, here is the honest review.
If you don’t like any of the protein bars you’ve ever eaten, you should buy THIS.

When people see me take down a whole pizza and still have a six pack, they assume that I have great genetics. I wish that was the case, but it isn’t. My genetics are awful, so what’s my secret? The secret to me staying in shape all year long is consistency. You might see me eat some pretty epic cheat meals on social media, but I make sure to walk our dogs twice a day, garden every day, go to the gym at least five days a week, and most importantly, eat clean about 95% of the time. For me, that combination is a very healthy lifestyle.
