Pumping Up to Slim Down

Pumping Up to Slim Down
With regards to Pumping Up to Slimming Down, I do agree that it is necessary to add progressive resistance training to a good cardiorespiratory aerobic exercise program and nutritionally sound diet plan. As a CSCS and ACSM Certified Trainer with a PhD in Kinesiology, I would recommend at least 2 to 3 times per week of strength training in addition to the 4 to 5 times per week of cardio and core training. Definitely do upper and lower body multi joint (compound) exercises.… Continue

Besides checking out the living and parking situation, we looked into the shopping and entertainment as well. This included looking at fitness centers in the area. We spotted an X Sports fitness across the street from a local grocery store just off… Continue

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. We want to know the real you...Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. We want to know the real you...Please do NOT use your Smaller Indiana blog for blatant self promotion

3. We want to see your smiling face...Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

4. Events should be posted in the events calendar, not inside blog posts

5. Please do NOT post commercial video (demo reels), or Corporate Website promotions in your blog

6. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

7. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.
