Everyone has their favorite websites for information, tips and tricks. For fitness and wellness it's important that the information be accurate, up to date and from trusted sources (i.e. people who have accreditation and background to provide sound information). Often if something seems too good to be true it probably is... I have compiled a list of my favorite websites that offer sound advice and plans for nutrition, workouts and supplement use. Leanitup.com- This is where I found the first workout program that gave me results. The whole site is focused on transformations, so its good place to start if you are looking to start strength training but want to reduce body fat. They offer nutritional and supplemental advice as well as cardio ideas along with their workout plans. They have workout plans that focus on weigh lifting, HITT, whole body or body part specific. Most of their workouts are also done as splits rather than different daily workouts (i.e. have workouts A-D that are done in order rather than Monday, Wednesday, Friday workouts) so it makes it really easy to work around your schedule and take rest days as or when needed.
Stereotypical personality at the gym: The individual who has a figure competition in less than a month. Fitnessblender.com: I can’t say enough good things about this site and the couple that make it. It’s by far the best database of workout videos on the Internet. They have so many different videos varying in length, difficulty, focus and equipment. My personal favorites are the body weight only workouts, but I haven’t done many of the videos involving equipment yet. Along with their videos they have blog that answers many questions and offer really good advice about everything from recovery, meals, and challenges. They are also super personal with the people that follow their site, twitter and blog. One of my favorite things about this site is how realistic they are and how they are focused on the big picture, with overall lifestyle change rather than just temporary weight loss. I got hooked on their videos as a senior in high school and still recommend people check them out who want good workouts to follow at home. Stereotypical personality at the gym: The mom who wants to get in shape but can't get to the gym Bodybuilding.com: At first glance it’s very intimidating and difficult to navigate, but it is in a lot of ways the “weightlifter’s google”. Anyone who wants to get serious about weightlifting, power building or competing should get familiar with this site. For those individuals who are less serious start with searching bodybuilding on Pinterest and go from there. Many of the articles that end up on Pinterest are beginner friendly workouts. They are always posting articles to help better inform individuals on what is the most effective plan of attack based on studies and personal experience. They offer many different styles and varieties of articles from full workout plans, exercises, opinions and stories. They also have a store for purchasing whatever you many need or want whether it’s clothing, gear, equipment, or supplements. Their prices are competitive and they have a large selection but I don’t personally shop from it much. Stereotypical personality at the gym: The guy squatting the weight of a mini cooper/ girl benching her body weight and then some Greatist.com: This website is really fun but informative. They don’t take anything too seriously and they break a healthy lifestyle down into three topics: move, eat and live. There is no “hard core” mentality with their articles. They are just about doing things that are enjoyable, fun and beneficial. This is the site that I go to when I need to decompress from rugged, balls to the wall workouts, or when I’m looking for something more laid back.
