I’ve been around transformation now for about a second and in that second what I have noticed without fail – humans resist change.

The month is dedicated to GT Newbies and keeping it real with our mythbusters… Myth: Daily High Intensity workouts will result in a fit and defined body FAST. Rest days only hold me back. Busted: Many people will overtrain their bodies for quick and short-lived WEIGHT loss, not fat loss. These people are burning ALL […]

In preparation of writing this article for the “Newbie” edition, I started thinking about where I am at, and realize I’m a little jealous.

Here is a series of exercises using your body weight and core strength. Perform all exercises in proper form with your shoulders down away from your ears, your spine in neutral and your core engaged. Unless otherwise noted your feet will be planted hip distance apart and parallel. Do 2-4 sets of these exercises, 8-15 […]

Courtney Townley • Water makes up 75% of our muscle fiber and 90% of our blood volume. When it comes to fat loss our liver requires water to convert stored fat into energy. Hydrating ourselves sufficiently throughout the day helps to accelerate the repair of muscle damage and the liver’s ability to process fat efficiently. […]
