Without a doubt, eggs are one of the best foods you can include in your diet if you want to improve your overall health and fitness especially if you want to increase muscular strength. They really are a "super-food" due to the multitude of health benefits they provide. Not only do eggs provide high quality protein, they also contain 11 vitamins and minerals, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants and eating these regularly are a great way to get your most of your daily nutrient requirements. Most of the protein in an egg can be found in the egg white, while the yolk contains healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Unfortunately, they have copped a bad rap over the years and we were mistakenly told to avoid eating them in fear of elevating cholesterol. Apart from avoiding eating them altogether the other mistake many make when trying to incorporate into their diet is eating them the same way all the time. Eventually they get bored of eating them and their diet evolves to some other food that does not come close to the same nutritional power. In this article we explain all the benefits of including eggs in your diet, and more importantly we provide you with 5 very simple recipes you can use to make every meal super tasty and healthy at the same time!

One of the oldest and most commonly used training concepts used in many gyms around the world today would be CIRCUIT TRAINING. This is a workout that involves a series of exercises performed in rotation usually with minimal to no resting time producing huge levels of fatigue in a very short time.

There is many ways you can utilise the circuit method to achieve different types of goals than just the standard strength and fitness approach and in this article we provide you with four different circuit workouts you can use to challenge your body in ways it has never seen.

One of the most confusing things I have come across over the past 15 years as a rehabilitation trainer working with many complex injuries and movement dysfunctions is how confusing the role of the quadriceps can be with relation to knee pain. In most cases of knee pain there is significant stiffness at the knee joint leading to conclusions of tight quadriceps and hip flexors. For years I believed the answer for people who had limited knee flexion needed to spend more time stretching and foam rolling their quads and hip muscles to restore full range to the joint. It makes perfect sense, the muscle is noticeably tight and not even close to its full range of motion so it must need stretching to improve it. And while some showed some great results, there were many who showed little improvement with some even becoming worse! This failure led me to find that the solution was not to be found with stretching but from changing the underlying cause of the stiffness. This article I will show you how to find this and what things you can do to correct the problem for good.
