Sleeping is an aspect of your health that many people over look. Everyone knows to try to get 8-hours of sleep each night. Knowing that and getting that are two separate things. There are some people who try to get that, but toss and turn all night, or wake up in the middle of the night, or wake up before their alarm and don’t get a full 8 hours of sleep. There are a few other people who just don’t get that much sleep for various reasons (students, workaholics, plain crazy people).

If I were to ask you what your favorite part of your day was, how many of you would saying waking up in the morning? I would think very few of you actually here your alarm go off and jump out of bed, ready to take on the day full speed ahead. Morning just isn’t people’s strong point. Most people slam their alarm snooze button, roll out of bed, drag themselves through their morning routine, then chug off to the 9-5. And people wonder why they have bad days when their morning starts like this. If you can develop a morning routine that is positive, and you can get excited to wake up, you will see a drastic change in every aspect of your life. Your morning needs to be the most important part of your day.

I wrote a post about strength training for women awhile back and it has been one of my most read post on this blog (over 5,ooo views in 3 months! Thank you all for reading it).

I recently changed the tag line of Ninteman Fitness. Originally, my tag line was Real. Simple. Results. I loved that tag line because that is what I am all about.

Real – Results have to be real. Too many people discuss results, without ever actually getting results. They talk about the diet they are on. They talk about what the doctor told them to do.

Let me throw a scenario at you and see if you can relate. You finally started training consistently. Whether you are training competitively, or you just started back in the gym, or even started on a weight loss regime. You start off and everything is going smoothly. You are starting to see results come each and every workout that you hit. You are feeling great and you have all the motivation in the world. Then the results get slower. And slower. And slower. And eventually you can’t get results to save your life. You try different things but end up just getting frustrated because you aren’t seeing the results that you once did so you give up.

If you were to take a survey for why people don’t work out, not having the time would probably be on top of the list. People are busy. We are a society that goes and goes and goes. Work life takes up most of life. But just because you are at work, doesn’t give you reason to be unhealthy. Here are 5 things you can do on the job (whatever that is) in order to stay healthy: Read more…

I was having a conversation with an extended family member and the individual informed me that they 2 aspirins every single morning for the past few YEARS because she always wakes up sore with killer headaches. I am sure you know someone similar, maybe even you. You have an ache or pain and you reach for a over the counter pain med. Maybe you are similar to this individual and you have chronic pain (low back pain, maybe) and are continually popping pills.

Shin Splints are one of the most common over use (or under use – more on that later) condition in both athletes, and those trying to become athletes. Yet being one of the most common problems I hear, I never hear of the best way to get rid of shin splints. Probably because people aren’t really educated on what exactly a shin splint is.
