The push-up has long been a movement forgotten in a typical globo gym setting. Just think – when was the last time you went to a globo gym and saw someone just doing sets of push-ups? My wager would be you’ve never seen that. I would wager even further that the person wasn’t doing them…
People love the idea of having abs. They always seem to think that someone with a visible 6 pack is the poster child of someone who is fit and has a strong core. While this may be true in some cases, I promise it is the exception, not the rule. A very simple way to…

Perspective is an amazing thing. The other night I was watching the movie “Patch Adams” (if you haven’t seen it, go watch it – one of Robin Williams’ best performances), and I hadn’t seen it since I was a kid. It came out in 1998, and when I was a kid, I can remember not…
