Hello everyone. The Free Fitness Tips Newsletter - July 2010 is now online and for once it is on time :-). Unfortunately, this month's newsletter is quite light on content as I did not manage to update Free Fitness Tips as much as I would have liked.

Hello everyone. Today's article is a guest post from Jim Rollince. Jim currently oversees all creative writing at http://www.gymsource.com/ and is an expert in home gym equipment. ----- For years now it's been the same routine- get up; go to work; drive straight to the gym and follow simple, mundane weight lifting instructions on a notepad. This was up until about a year ago, when I discovered that this habitual practice was demoralizing and ultimately making me miserable. Sure, life can be routine, but it's in that routine that we can exercise our creativity to conjure up new ways to … [Read more...]
