Looking and feeling good is about more than just throwing on a cute outfit you took hours shopping for and picking out, for whatever the occasion. Clothes that fit right look even better on a body that appears as if it has been put through its paces quite rigorously in the gym, whether you’re a guy or girl.

You can win a VIP trip to Spain’s Ibiza Island by just resolving to commit to a workout and nutrition plan by MaxiNutrition, which will fast-track your beach body worthiness. Continue reading →

Like most people, I started working out because I wanted to look better and feel better about myself. 

I was 16, had just spent four years with braces, had plenty of acne, and recently got cut from the basketball team. Let’s just say I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin, and my confidence was certainly lacking. Continue reading →

“But Steve, I don’t like to exercise.”
