    Can You Lose Weight Without Exercise?

    July 21, 2020 / 3 Comments

    Written by Aj of moccasinguru.com Losing weight without exercise requires a calorie deficit. You need to consume fewer calories than your body uses every day. The right filling foods and getting rid of water weight can get you well on your way to weight loss extreme and even losing a pound a day. I’ve always struggled with my weight, and it started impacting my life. Clothes fit strangely because of a disproportionate belly. Strangers sneered and looked at me like a lazy low-life. I had to make a change, but I find workouts difficult, and frankly, I haven’t always got the time. So it got me thinking, can you lose…

    Weighted Dips

    April 21, 2019 / No Comments

    Don’t be content with chair or parallel bar bodyweight dips If there’s anything I’ve learned from training consistently for nearly two decades, it’s there’s always a next level to every exercise and training program. I stagnated at bodyweight dips for years. The video below is of my first time trying weighted dips, and I was delighted to learn I’m pretty strong at them. So what took me so long to strap on a weight for this exercise? Because it was so difficult for me to master parallel bar dips, I believed I would be terrible at weighted dips, and I couldn’t think of a reason that I’d need to get…

    3 Rules to Push-Up Mastery

    May 17, 2017 / No Comments

    A proper push-up (knees off the floor) is a basic upper body exercise. But for many, the movement is strenuous and difficult to learn. Women especially often struggle with how taxing the exercise can be. But, believe me, performing a correct, no-knees push-up has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with discipline and dedication. Follow the rules below for progressions from beginner to push-up master, and soon you’ll be doing advanced push-ups with ease.   Rule 1: Get off your knees Doing push-ups on your knees creates an unnatural movement pattern that makes it difficult to transition to proper, off-the-knees push-ups. Get off your knees, tighten your abs,…

    Things Other Women Say & Do to Fit Women

    April 14, 2016 / 1 Comment

    I was five years into my fitness journey when I first noticed the below-listed negative behaviors and comments from other women. I was taken aback by the potency of what felt like anger, hatred, or frustration emanating from their eyes and mouths. My first experience of this came from a teacher whom I respected, viewed as an intellectual, and thought was mentally far above the petty female insecurities that evoke the above-described hallmarks of a woman incensed by another woman’s success. I was a new, young mom, and she was middle-aged and a mother herself. The year prior, we had many enriching conversations, but after my pregnancy, I vowed to…

    Are Body Comparisons Your Doom?

    December 27, 2015 / 3 Comments

    I strongly believe that setting the goal to look like someone else, whether it’s just arms, legs, abs, or another person’s whole body, is a doomed prospect. Everybody is unique, so setting the goal to look like another person is illogical. Life isn’t a Disney movie: you’ll never magically turn into someone else. Here are some examples of why comparing yourself to another makes no sense. Ever get your hair styled like a celebrity? Did you look like the celebrity afterward? I’m 99% sure that you didn’t. Example two: clothing. Take one look at a party of bridesmaids. They are all often wearing the same thing, but, believe me, they…
