Exercising at any time is good, especially if you are dedicated to your health… Years ago, my favorite time to exercise was between 6 and 7 pm. I usually exercised after work. Come to think of it, not only was I determined to reach my goal, but it was also helping me to stay away from practicing other destructive habits in the afternoons. There was a time when I worked so much that I did my exercises after midnight and I went to sleep after exercising. Also at that time I was single and my...

All human beings have moments of doubt and weakness. When those moments happen to me, I start thinking about all the people and animals who risk their lives every day to be able to survive and eat. For example, in Mexico where narcos have taken authority, people have to follow their rules or pay with their lives. Many of these people are citizens who do good, but the reality is that the narcos do not care. Another example is in wildlife, the zebra for example, to drink water and graze, has...

Not long ago (well, that's what I want to think) I was living in poverty, lost and with a void in my heart. I remember that at no time did I have money to satisfy my basic needs like eating. I sought my happiness with alcohol, parties, friends, video games, and everything that could distract me from reality. I really wanted to fill that void I felt in my heart that I could never fill with anything. It wasn't until I was 28 and fell into a depression that made me realize I was lost. I found...

20 pounds of extra fat I read in the results sheet… Then I asked her what was the reason why she was eating poorly.

To Lose Weight I Just Eat Fewer Calories And That's It Many people think that by eating fewer calories they can lose weight. Calorie logic makes sense because it says that if you consume less than you expend, calorie deficiency causes you to burn fat. Which does make sense, fewer calories eaten, more calories spent on physical activities, more fat burned. But there are several factors that are taken into consideration where that calorie logic doesn't work. Not all calories are...

I'm going to tell you why you haven't gotten toned and strong since you started working out. Many of us are clear that we have to increase the resistance or weight that the muscle is lifting in order to become stronger and tone our body. Of course, this takes a process and as our body does allow it, we increase resistance. In order for the body to get used to or be able to lift a new resistance, the body must constantly lift that resistance for a certain time period. Every time you...
