Can you row your own bodyweight 10x's?
There's a saying, If you're not rowing, you're not building muscle. And there's no better way to start doing both than with an exercise called the inverted row, or body-weight row.Besides being great for muscle building, the inverted row is valuable because it strengthens your rear shoulders and upper back. These often…

Jillian Michaels
So I love Jillian Michaels workout movies. They are so hard core and I feel great after I do them. I have a couple of questions for anyone who feels like answering. 1. What is your favorite Jillian workout? And why? 2. Does anyone know how many calories are burned doing these workouts, and how to document them here? Thanks.

Slow workout buddy!
I know this might sound mean but the friend I've been working out with lately has really been slowing me down. She half-heartedly lifts weights (doesn't do the full reps I do and skips some machines) and only commits to about 20 minutes of cardio. I realize not everyone LOVES the gym but I happen to! I usually spend about…

Housework
I know this may sound silly, but my experience is that when I do some housework (like hoovering and dusting, cleaning stairs etc.) I usually end up being pretty worn out and I even sweat..
