Do you still not understand HIIT training? It is amazing! Here is a great article to show you the science behind it, and how it can fit into your lifestyle.

High-intensity interval training is enormously popular in the fitness indus- try this year.

Today I reminded my clients of these two things:

2016 was a tough year. The good news is that you learned from these mistakes, and now you have a bettwr knowledge base on how to overcome these in the future.

2017 will be another hard year full of new obstacles. Don't let this worry you because it makes you stronger. The key to this next year is to easily tackle familiar struggles from 2016, and strive to overcome anything in 2017.

We are human. We make mistakes. But we are also human, and we learn and grow from our mistakes and challenges.

If 2016 was a rough year, write down your hard times and how you got through them. Use this as your guide for 2017. You might be surprised on how far you have come in just 1 short year. Keep working hard and strive to Unlock Your Full Potential.

With time being our enemy, doing a full workout can be tough. This holiday season I am getting back into my "100 Pushups a Day" challenge. Pushups are one of the top exercises you can do, and you don't need anything but yourself. Here are a few other reasons why pushups are amazing:

Push-ups build strength and muscle in your chest, arms, shoulders and core and can be done anywhere with no equipment needed.
