If you want to drop those stubborn pounds and improve your health and well-being in the process, why not try the paleo diet?

If you want to get ripped for the summer, and hey, who doesn’t? You may have heard about this little thing called HIIT. HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training, as it is better known, is a relatively new training concept that is taking the health and fitness world by storm.
As the popular internet meme goes ‘losing weight is like riding a bike, except the bike is on fire, and you’re on fire, and everything around you is on fire’. Basically, losing weight isn’t as easy as some obnoxious personal trainers on Instagram would have you believe. If losing weight was really a question of ‘hard work’ and ‘mind over matter’ and other tired clichés thrown around aimlessly in the fitness industry, the majority of the human race would be walking around with a six pack, rather than struggling with their weight. ...
With obesity levels higher than ever, and life expectancies decreasing rather than increasing, these are pretty clear indications that, generally speaking, the human race is not in a good way. Of course there are numerous exceptions, and people do appear to be showing more of an active interest in eating right and getting plenty of […]
If you’re looking to build muscle, burn fat, and just generally enhance your physique, you’ve probably seriously considered using supplements to help you achieve your goal.

If you’re looking to step up your training for the summer months ahead, you’ll no doubt want to build a symmetrical, muscular, and aesthetic physique. This means that all body parts should be treated and trained equally, at least, that’s assuming you’re already fairly symmetrical. If however, you perhaps have different sized muscle groups, you […]

Here’s what you’ll need: Ingredients: 2 cups of freeze-dried strawberries ½ tsp of vanilla extract (not essence – it tastes too artificial) ¾ cup […]
If you’re after something rich, yet refreshing at the same time, these mint chocolate protein bars are wonderful. You will need a food processor, so just bear that in mind.

Nowadays, things often get blown way out of proportion and are made out to be far worse than they actually are, which is why the word ‘scandal’ is often not taken seriously. When however, you sit down and recognize the fact that there are many supplement companies out there that have been found to be […]
The life of a bodybuilder is anything but simple, and anybody who thinks it is obviously hasn’t lived the life of a true bodybuilder. Bodybuilders, whether training for vanity, or competitively, have to eat, sleep, and breathe the bodybuilding lifestyle. Building muscle takes a long time, it requires a lot of skill and dedication, and […]
When it comes to training in the gym, we all have our favourite, and least-favourite exercises. Some sadists for example, enjoy squats, while others prefer deadlifts. In terms of popularity however, there is one exercise that stands tall and has reigned supreme for decades upon decades. That exercise is none other than the mighty barbell […]
In health and fitness circles, these days, it seems as if supplements are just as commonplace as push ups. Whilst it is indeed true that, thanks to the huge advances in medicine, research, and technology, supplements are better than ever, that certainly does not make them the be-all and end-all when it comes to health […]
If you use them correctly, protein supplements can make one heck of a difference in regards to your physique.

If you wish to become leaner, more muscular, fitter, stronger, […]
Bodybuilding is a pastime that is now more popular amongst men and women than ever before. Well, we call it a pastime, but as any true bodybuilder will tell you, bodybuilding is in fact a lifestyle. You get out of bodybuilding what you put in, so if you are serious about getting in the best […]
Exercise, for men, women, and children, is incredibly important for a whole variety of reasons. Not only do we need to exercise in order to lose weight and look great, we also need to exercise to keep our bodies fit and healthy. Over the last few years, there has been a steep increase in the […]
For the gym rats amongst you that just can’t get enough of the gym, you’ll know that making gains is far from a simple process. In fact, at times, making those all-important gains can seem like an impossible task. We all go through plateaus when training, whether they’re plateaus while training, or mental plateaus when […]
So, the holidays have been and gone, and hopefully you enjoyed yourself, had an awesome time, and ate and drank way too much. If that is the case then you’re probably itching to get back to normality, to start eating clean again, and to start killing your workouts in the gym. The next few weeks […]
You’ve heard the saying and have seen the memes online about how ‘friends don’t let friends skip leg day’ and although hilariously dramatic, the message is clear and apt. To a true bodybuilder, there is nothing more frustrating than seeing somebody walking around with a large, powerful, and impressive upper-body, and a set of skinny, […]
It’s official: Skinny is out, and swole is in. It truly is a wonderful time for a bodybuilder to be alive, as once upon a time, muscle-bound physiques were frowned upon and were considered nothing more than circus freaks. Nowadays however, it seems as if everybody wants to be as ripped and muscular as possible, […]

Protein supplements are now everywhere, and by everywhere, we mean everywhere! In the past, if you wanted to pick up a protein powder, you had to visit a specialist health store in town. Then came the internet and sourcing protein supplements became much easier, but even so, they were still considered to be a very […]
Have you ever noticed how, when it comes to fat loss, everybody seems to be a personal trainer and/or a certified nutritionist? When you mention the fact that you’re looking to lose weight, or that you could perhaps stand to lose a few pounds, people are very quick to start telling you what you should […]
Getting big, lean, and jacked is far from easy, and it is a process which requires a great deal of patience. Contrary to what certain online ads would have you believe, you can’t get big and jacked in a matter of days, or even weeks for that matter, as it can take several months of […]
For those of you with a passion for Indian cooking, right off the bat you will know exactly what turmeric is. This wonderful golden yellow root gives curries and many other dishes, a distinct flavour and unmistakable yellow colour that just cannot be matched in any other way. As it turns out however, turmeric is […]
Everybody trains with a different goal and objective in mind, and so for those reasons, obviously people’s training programs differ hugely from person to person. With that being said, it isn’t just the training that varies, as their diets and their nutritional programs will also vary depending on why that person is training in the […]
My attraction to the weight room began at a young age through competitive sports. Over the years I was able to work with many coaches (good and bad) that provided me with a solid foundation of strength and conditioning principles. Once my pursuit of professional athletics ended, my training focus shifted on to building the […]

When it comes to cooking, baking, and of course, flavour, cooking oils are absolutely vital. Not only do these oils prevent foods from sticking to your pots and pans, and subsequently ruining them, they also provide plenty of flavour and texture. But what about nutrition? The general consensus surrounding cooking oils is that they’re all […]
