Submitted by Fresno Fitness on April 6, 2010 - 8:24pm

Today a report was published by the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine that showed a link between a persons genes and their lifestyle.  The research provided compelling evidence that a person's physical activity has a dramatic affect on a person's Body Mass Index level and their waist line.  Consisting of over 752 adolescents in 10 European cities the researchers were able to determine vigorous physical activity for 60 minutes a day could dramatically improve a person's overall fitness level.

Motivate Me

Submitted by Liz on March 30, 2010 - 9:56am

Today marks the one year anniversary of the start of my "Stop Being Fat" campaign.  In the past year I have struggled more often than not with making the "right" food choices in regards to *what* and *how much* I've eaten.  My commitment to my personal training sessions has been sufficient enough that although I haven't lost many pounds (only 20-ish) I look way better and my body is much stronger than it was a year ago!  One thing I noticed over the past year is that once in a while I'd come across a quote and be inspired for a bit to stay the course or jump back on the wagon
