Elon Musk lost nine kilograms in a few months with this method — Elon Musk let his weight spiral out of control.

Do you know what a healthy lifestyle has done for you? — No one knows, below the surface layer, how exercise and good nutrition can impact our health. Sure, exercise helps us to lose and maintain that weight loss. But diet does a pretty good job of that too. But, several different cells are activated for our bodies to do this. Knowing…

Muscle size increases are the key to better metabolic health throughout your lifetime — If you want to enhance the growth of your muscles, then a specific way of training is essential. During my bodybuilding days, the main focus was building as much muscle as possible through the right exercise and nutrition. As a woman, that is challenging, but I learned a lot along…

Look no further than those like Arnie, at 74, still fit, healthy and living an active life — I have admired Arnold since I was a young girl. My mum and I would watch all his movies — and I was secretly obsessed with his body! Perhaps it was a crush — but as a bodybuilder, I think I was fascinated with attaining muscle and being fit from…

Age determines how much exercise you need to do to benefit — Although I mention that you don’t need to do much exercise to gain benefits — a certain amount is required to achieve specific antioxidant results on a cellular level. Don’t get me wrong, doing something is better than doing nothing, but we have to put in some mighty effort to…

The question everyone thinks about when trying to lose body fat — In my bodybuilding days, cardio was off-limits during the building phase. That made a lot of sense then because the focus was entirely on accumulating muscle mass and making diet a priority so you could easily lose body fat. I quite liked this concept because, for many years, I was…

Science has you backed up with the best ways to lose weight — Lotions, potions and supplements won’t do the trick — but science-backed strategies will.

Although it takes a bit of fine-tuning — you can do it — There are a few very important characteristics in a person who pursues two goals at a time. Some might think they are crazy or chasing their tail. But, when it comes to building muscle and losing body fat — there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, you…

Leading a healthy lifestyle should be a priority on everyone’s to-do list — Our daily chores, work, and family commitments never end — but do you also add positive lifestyle habits to that list? We should all have a set of non-negotiables for our lives, and those non-negotiables should aim to help us maintain better mental, spiritual and physical health. Nothing is more…

One study proves that exercising during a particular time greatly reduces insulin resistance — Exercising every single day is a must for both the young and old. My workout routine is very simple. Weight training four times per week and walking every single day. Finding enough time to fit exercise into your day can be challenging when you have a full-time job, family, and…

It’s a whole lot easier to keep yourself healthy than you believe — Diet is important, although physical activity runs hand in hand with an optimal eating plan. One without the other is similar to a missing chain along the path toward better health. We as a society aren’t moving enough, and instances like Covid 19 closures have diminished our activity level forcefully. …

Walking isn’t only a way to burn extra calories and is great for doing your inner work — I cannot speak highly enough when it comes to walking. I walk all the time and would do so even more if I wasn’t chained to my desk working from Monday to Friday. When I work from home, I enviously observe the lucky humans who are out and about, headphones…

Making these mistakes is easy if you are new to the bodybuilding game — There is always a reason why you aren’t getting the gains you want in the gym. It’s not always obvious to spot mistakes if you are a beginner. …

Referred Member Earnings — I didn’t think anything of it, but ending an article with a call to action (CTA) can create passive income. When I started writing on Medium, I placed external links at the end of articles to my other platforms; I thought that would drive traffic to my other websites. I…

Staying active is important — but is doing so seven days a week effective? — Working out every day doesn’t mean it’s got to be an intense session daily. You probably do not want to aim at that level unless you are an athlete. It’s just not sustainable or necessary for overall health. Only about 19.37 per cent of people work out daily, which isn’t…

It’s great to have a step goal but ramp it up with this method — Walking can do so much for your health, body and soul. It’s my saving grace when I need to get outdoors, unwind and switch off for 20, 30 or 60 minutes. As much as I appreciate the impact lifting weights has on my physique and mental health, walking provides another…

If you exercise in the mornings, read this — I’m motivated to exercise in the mornings. I don’t have time available during the evening for exercise. Making excuses later in the evenings is a habit of mine. However, I feel that my reasons are quite legitimate. I’m a mum; I work full time and studying for a graduate certificate…

Exercise can and will harm your health if you do the following things — I do love to exercise. Today, my daughter won two sprint races in her regional carnival. She doesn’t run at all — but is naturally athletic. I take full responsibility for this trait (laughing right now). That made me think about how inherently lazy I was at her age. All…

Let’s be honest; we all need a bit of cardio in our life, but not enough to create muscle wastage — When I decided on a whim that I wanted to build more muscle, change my body shape and then show it all off on stage, a lot of things in my lifestyle had to change. For instance, I gave up sugar (which was the hardest thing for me), then all…

There may be some old and inadequate beliefs about building muscle holding you back — For years, I would listen to various fitness professionals educate me on the principles for building muscle and maintaining health. Some of them were outdated, and a lot were downright wrong. For instance, old school bodybuilders insisted on eating a considerable amount of protein at the expense of fewer veggies…
