Perspectives Into Total Wellness
By Jorg Mardian
From skinny fat to fit & fabulous
So you decided you want to work out and get in shape? What does that mean to you? What type of physique are you looking for and how much work are you willing to put into it to look better than average? It amazes me how many people look for the “easy” button on their [...]
Don’t ruin your fitness foundation
As a trainer I routinely have great success with clients, having taken off thousands of pounds collectively over the years.
