Go Ahead and Quit
Smoking, that is! Listen, I have vices, just like everybody else, but smoking is something you are NEVER going to be able to keep up alongside an active fitness regimen. If you're a heavy smoker who has ever tried to do an intense cardio session, you know what I'm talking about. And the risks of smoking go a lot further than a little trouble on the treadmill. Learn how you can quit smoking and enjoy better health


Try Different Modes of Exercise
Need to take your workout to the next level? Try a different modality. What's a "modality"? It's really just a fancy word for your particular form of exercise. In addition to intensity, weight load, and number of sets and reps you do, you can alternate between different exercises that work the same muscles, thereby changing your "mode" of exercise. Learn how changing exercise modes can help you progress in your workouts
