[ad_1] If you’ve picked up a dumbbell or any weight, you’ve probably heard the term “isolation exercise” tossed around. In theory, isolation exercises are meant to target one muscle group—in reality, that’s not normally the case.

[ad_1] As we approach the end of May, also known as Mental Awareness Month, how much time have you really devoted to finding your own rhythm in the past few weeks? If you still haven’t got those endorphins flowing by taking up running, like you promised that you would, or felt the exhilaration of hitting

Arguably CrossFit’s most famous (or infamous) WOD, Murph is the ultimate test of cardio endurance, bodyweight strength, and sheer mental fortitude. Getting through 100 pullups alone is impossible for many hardened gym-goers, let alone running a mile

[ad_1] The 107th Running of the Indianapolis 500 will be both special and memorable for Tony Kanaan. Not only will it be his 22nd 500, but it will also be the final race of his career. At 48 years old, Kanaan never once thought much about when the checkered flag would wave on his career.
