The women in my family are blessed with great bum genetics. But last year, after going through some stressful and unfortunate circumstances, I was down to 102 lbs and struggling.

The Number One Reason WHY Your Dreams are NOT Coming True
I originally thought I was interested in psychology simply out of my interest in people. As a student, I realized my interest comes down to more than that. What I’m really interested in is what drives people, what motivates them. What makes us different. No really, what makes us different? What separates the people who are…

Is fitness being “pornified”?
I just read an pretty cool article that discusses the “pornification” of the fitness industry.
