Anthony Bevilacqua of A.B. Fitness explains why skipping leg workouts just isn’t cool. Leg day! The most dreaded day in the gym (especially for some guys). Women seem to embrace leg day more then men. This is probably because most women hold their body fat in their lower halves. Why do people skip leg day? Simple, Its tough! Lets face it, its so much easier to go into the gym and grab a pair of dumbbells to do some curls – but it takes real guts to go into the gym and get under a heavy squat bar! Whats more…

Increased exercise reps equals faster weight loss…  right?  LIB guest fitness trainer Anthony Bevilacqua sums it up for us. “I just started dieting so its time to change my workout up and do more reps.  You know, more reps equal cuts.” How many of us have ever heard that?

NO.  The immense misconception came about, I believe, because the fitness magazines needed something new to print. Before we go into details, let’s…

What if I told you that theres 3 Foods in your cabinet right now that are fooling you!

My favorite thing to do as a child was to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and eat pizza.  To this day, I can’t think of pizza without thinking about those crazy turtles.  It still feels like yesterday when the teacher would go around the room and ask all the students to name his or her favorite food.  The class was constantly split between pizza and French fries (and we wonder why childhood obesity is at an all time high). When you hear the word “pizza”, you certainly do not think of diet food. Society has become brainwashed into thinking you…
