    Love peanut butter but trying to watch the fat or calories? Is it really possible to get the flavor of peanuts with only 15% of the fat? Sounds too good to be true ... or is it?

Fitness Tip

  • Your goals on vacation should be to stay injury free while maintaining your gains. With this in mind, work at 80% of your maximum effort. This will get the sweat flowing without risking an all-out assault on your body. Doing this 3-4 days a week will be more than adequate while you’re away. Plus, you’ll be expending a lot of energy as it is prepping the kids, swimming, walks to and from the beach, hauling skis, whatever the case may be.

Fitness Equipment

  • Fat Gripz - Home Fitness Equipment
    Fat Gripz

    Thick bars spread the weight over a larger area of the hand. Trainers credit this with making training safer and less likely to cause injury. They also make the forearms extensors and flexors work more evenly which can help avoids imbalances, weaknesses and injury.

    Plus, thicker handles stimulate much more muscle activation in the hands and arms. More muscle activation means much bigger muscle and strength gains.

    And with Amazon, you're gonna get a great price and quick shipping!

Testimonials

  • I was in a rough spot with my nutrition and my training was suffering. I reached out to Matthew for some advice hoping he would guide in the right direction. He told me about an accountability group he would facilitate. I accepted the invitation and never looked back. The nutrition plan was very good (tasteful) and being accountable to fitness was great… The people I took this journey with were fantastic and so encouraging. It was exactly what I needed at the time. Thank you Matthew for the experience and believing in me…
