• Hot Fitness Tip of the Week

  When working out it is best to train larger muscles first and smaller muscles last. Training large muscle groups (thighs, chest, and back) will take a majority of your energy; therefore you need to train your large muscle groups when you are at your strongest. Smaller muscles (biceps, triceps, and forearms) should be trained after larger muscles because they don't require as much energy to train. If you train smaller muscles first then you will not have enough strength left to train your larger muscles.

• Words of Inspiration

  ACCEPT CHANGE WITH A SMILE: Sooner or later you'll encounter an event in your life, and how you meet it determines your future happiness and success. Since the beginning of time, everyone has been called upon to meet such a crisis. A closer look will show you that most ""crisis situations"" are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are. Indeed most changes in your life will take place out of either ""inspiration"" or ""desperation."" Whatever comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value. Your personal growth is the process of responding positively to change. A precious stone cannot be polished without friction, nor humanity perfected without trials.
