		<title>Back to Basics&#8230;..again!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And by back to the basics I mean back to what got me to the healthiest and fittest levels I&#8217;ve ever been. It hasn&#8217;t been an easy week back. It takes courage to go back to what has worked in the past but was abandoned. It takes courage to face the people who got you [...]]]></description>

		<title>My inner athlete</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been an athlete. I&#8217;m sure some of you are laughing right now, but really, I&#8217;ve always been an athlete. Before my parents got divorced, remarried and had other children, there was my four brothers and me. Ever since I can remember, I&#8217;ve been playing sports with them in some capacity. Soccer, basketball, cricket, [...]]]></description>

&#160;
So I&#8217;ve started training with my new toy. Let&#8217;s just say that for a piece of low tech equipment, it delivers high returns. In other words, it continues to kick my behind, big time! I summoned my inner athlete and decided to try all the basic kettlebell movements. In a relatively short [...]]]></description>

There is a pushup website solely dedicated to teaching anyone how to do 100 consecutive pushups in about 6 weeks.

		<title>The Look&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#160;
People have asked me the kind of look I&#8217;m going for as my end result in this whole fat loss saga. I&#8217;ve always said that I&#8217;m going for the 15% bodyfat look&#8230;whatever that is. I&#8217;m singlehandedly obsessed with that number for some reason. But realistically, I have to have an image in my head of [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been a slave to my gym over the years and for good reason too. I&#8217;m in my gym lifting weights or doing some exercise machine about 3 days a week. The other time [...]]]></description>

There is nothing wrong with doing evening workouts, it&#8217;s just that morning workouts suit me better. I&#8217;ve moved a lot of my workouts to the evening over the last few weeks because:

		<title>Switching things up&#8230;</title>
