This was before...

Will a Vegan Diet Work with a Fitness Workout Plan?

I use animal products in my diet when I'm working out (which is all the time).

How is Your Form in Your Exercise Routines?

There's a big mistake I see a lot of people making when I go to the gym.

Are You "Going Through the Motions" in Your Home Exercise Routine?

There's a huge connection between performance and form that a lot of people don't realize.

This is something gym rats say to other gym rats who are having trouble completing...
