Sports and exercise are no longer mandatory at the school level and we are not raising active children again. This is a serious situation in Nigeria, not only was exercise a part of the curriculum, it was part of life. Years ago, children often craved to play outside and that’s because there weren’t many options.…

Let me give you something to think about, and this is very important... if we took away modern society and plopped you on a deserted island, what is the #1 most important thing in your life at that point? That’s right - FOOD! What will I eat to survive and thrive? At that point, you can forget about careers....

Are your workouts getting boring? Tired of running up and down Lekki Bridge without any real progress? Perhaps it’s time to change things up a little with some Interval Training. Interval Training has been around for many years now. No matter what your goals are, whether to lose fat, improve your heart and lung capacity,…

In a country blessed with warm weather, there is no excuse for not getting in a pool (we’ll excuse all you weave-on carriers). With countless benefits...

I had knee problems for a while and, while it didn’t slow down my workouts, I would be in a great deal of pain after. Then I discovered pre-workout squats and everything changed. What worked for me may not necessarily work for everyone though. It’s easy to come up with excuses when you don’t want…

One problem that a lot of mothers have after having a baby is struggling to lose the weight they put on during pregnancy. While a lucky few are genetically blessed (you know the ones, they look like they never even had a baby), for most, it’s a battle that is lost the moment they get pregnant.

There are many diets, different weight loss fads, new tricks, pills and much more, for losing weight. All promise to be revolutionary and create a new you. Some work and some don’t.
