Technology has ruined kids… or so the old-timers say!

When it comes to kids, why would they want to play outside when they are enthralled in crushin’ candies?
So this time you think you have a good excuse to skip your workout? Let me guess, you forgot your headphones so there is no way you can exercise? Or you didn’t bring the matching gym apparel and don’t look fabulously fashionable, so working out is out of the question? Or maybe you just don’t feel like it? Drop the fitness excuses!
The common cold sucks, the flu can be downright deadly, and a stomach bug makes you pray to the porcelain God for mercy. Getting sick sucks, no one likes it. It can make you miss work, family obligations, and workouts. Slipping up on your workouts for 3-4 days in a row can have some people scrapping the workout altogether. Instead of slipping up should you exercise when you’re sick?
The lats (latissimus dorsi), rhomboids, and traps compromise what most bodybuilders/weight lifters refer to as the back. This can be a very powerful tool in your day-to-day activities.

Below you will find a simple at-home back workout that can be done within 15 minutes to help improve the strength of your back. Like all our workouts, all you need are dumbbells and resistance bands.

Although I never pay attention to the timing of my meals it does make me wonder about the physiological aspects of a large meal at bedtime… Does your metabolism slow down while you are sleeping causing that food to turn to body fat?
In our next installment of the at-home workout series, we are going to do a chest workout.

Having a strong chest greatly increases your functional strength such as picking yourself up or getting out of bed. Check out this chest workout with simple exercises that can be done with either dumbbells or resistance bands.
