"The enzymes help your body rid itself of small fatty deposits that get stuck in the lymphatic system. Your cran-water also supports liver function. Liver function is key to detoxification, as the liver…
  • For me it depends on my mood. When i'm running with no music, i try and tune in to my surroundings, listen to cars, wind etc. When I need a little motivation I plug my ear buds and tune in to music that gets me going.

  • walk before you run. If you're a total noobie and have a hard time walking... walk for 2 mins take a rest, walk again for 2 mins. Build your endurance until you can go 5 mins, 10 mins so on. Small goals and build up on it. I'm training for a marthon and when i started I was out of breathe in 5 mins. I did the walk/jog…

  • HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training, After your hiit session your body will continue to burn calories vs a regular cardio session. Treadmill Speed 9-11mph On for 30 secs Rest for 45 mins I vary my weight training, when I superset my DB Press / DB Row I do 1-2 min cardio then rest.
