By Will Stuart Why Am I Weak? I often get asked by athletes and regular gym goers alike, "Why can’t I break my PB?" Or quite simply "Why am I weak?"

by Sarah Monaghan It’s a question I always get asked, “How do you stay motivated?” My response is always love what you do and have goals. The immediate response is but the gym is so boring. You’re doing it all wrong. Slogging away on a treadmill or sticking to the same old routine is bound to get boring. Grab a gym buddy, or multiple...

  CrossFit. The training phenomenon taking, or better yet, has taken the world by storm.   I think it's fair to say a large percentage of readers here will know of the fitness regime and may be participants themselves.
