Walking remains a very under-rated way to work out. Not only does it burn calories, it’s easy on the joints and oftentimes more mentally relaxing than strenuous types of cardio (here’s looking at you, stair master!). Trust me, this 30 minute walking workout for weight loss will become your new go-to.

When I first heard of primal movement, I instantly thought of a caveman. Surely primal movement workouts would consist of crawling through mud, carrying sharp sticks around a forest, and stooping to pick berries, right?

Primal movement does, in fact, mean getting back to our roots. It involves using fundamental human movement patterns, motions that are a foundation for all of us.

Many of these are movements we used to do as kids, and many are movements we see animals doing all the time too.

WOW is it hard to find good women’s strength training books.

And I really mean that. In 2023, I’m still finding female fitness books written mostly by men, many with sexist language, that are outdated, poorly formatted, or just don’t use good exercises.

As a certified personal trainer who knows what good training looks like, I was very picky about these book selections. These are strength and conditioning books I’d feel comfortable recommending to a friend or family member, as well as use myself. And, of course, have exceptional reviews from others.
