It’s always surprising the number of people that think that proper workouts are simple to create. There’s a reason that personal trainers go to school for their field. The human body is so complex with so many different parts, systems, and functions that nothing about it is simple. It isn’t just about which exercises you do, but how you do […]

I, like many others, let myself get far too out of shape before even considering bootcamp classes or any other kind of fitness classes for that matter. The reason is as simple as it is silly.
