2-ARM SWINGS 10 X 10 WITH 40KG (That's it. No more.)

Quick Intro

My kids are grown and out of the house ( long story ), so I enjoy spending my spare time torturing myself in my garage gym. I have built a good portion of my equipment and purchased the rest.  I find…

TRAINING/NUTRITION BLOG: 02/02/13 - Thoughts on "Daily Deal" Fitness Specials

Almost every day I see another fitness business in the area running a special on one of the "daily deal" sites. I looked into this way back and found that they basically wanted me to give away my product for free, while they skimmed a good profit for doing essentially nothing except sending out an email. I don't think these are good for local businesses, unless the patrons actually sign up long-term. But why should they?

You could do a different gym for every month of the year…

TRAINING/NUTRITION BLOG: 01/30/13.
