Keep reading for our top picks, but first…
The Power of Power Naps
When we were toddlers in kindergarten, they would force us to take naps during nap time. Somehow, getting older meant ditching mid-day naps, and most of us feel guilty when we nap during the day, feeling like we wasted time.
People are becoming more aware of how important sleep is for our well-being. Still, power naps aren't yet as popular as they should be. It doesn't matter if you're a toddler or a high-achieving CEO; a power nap will boost your energy and make you more productive.
Without quality sleep, we wouldn't be able to learn anything. Our immune system would go crazy, and our hormones put us at an increased risk of various health conditions. While a power nap won't completely reverse the dangers of inadequate sleep, it will help decrease some lousy night's sleep damage.

How to get better sleep
Have you ever wondered how to wake up fresh and ready to crush your day?
Have you ever felt your energy level dropping to the ground after being awake for only 3 hours?
Today you will get all the answers you have always had about sleep.
But first, let's answer a simple question...
How Long Does It Take To Get Fit?
Are you curious how long it takes to get fit? We've all been there!
Most fitness trainees are curious about how much time it takes to see changes in their bodies and health.
Unfortunately, there's no easy answer. The time it takes to get fit depends on various factors, which we will discuss in this article.
So without further ado, let's look at the most important factors that affect the speed of the process, shall we?
How To Effectively Set Goals (And Crush Them)
We are six months deep into the year, and we know that the general population isn't reaching their New Year's resolutions, or at least not so far.
Only 2-3% of people successfully follow through with their goals.
If you're in the 97% of people who fail to meet their objectives, don't fret - setting and reaching goals is a process that can be mastered with little effort.
In this article, we'll go through our take on this topic to help you set goals… and crush them!
Do You Hate Your Training?
You may be in a position where you used to love working out, but you're now starting to hate almost every second of it. Or maybe you're in a situation where you never even liked to train.
Don't fool yourself and think that you just weren't born to be physically active. The genes in your DNA wouldn't be there if your ancestors weren't bad MF'ers hunting and doing farm work all day long.
Exercise should be a vital part of our lives. There are so many benefits to working out that it would be a shame not to reap them.
In this article, I will talk about how social norms and moulds make you hate the gym.
Normal Sets VS Supersets
For the most part, in the gym, we see two types of trainees - Those that jump from exercise to exercise with little to no rest and those that go all-out, rest for a solid 3-5 minutes, and go at it again full-speed.
But is there something inherently better about one of these approaches? And are supersets the better option?
The fitness world seems to be full of differing opinions, with some swearing by supersets and others maintaining that normal sets are the only way to go.
So what's the truth? Let's take a closer look!
Weight Loss With VS Without Training
Losing weight is hard, and for many people, it seems impossible. And while diet and exercise are both key components to dropping pounds, many people don't have the time or energy to hit the gym regularly.
So what's the solution? Can you still lose weight if you don't train? The answer is yes. But the process and the result will be a bit more different.
This article will delve right into the question and give you insight into weight loss with versus without training.
From there on, you can make your own choices!
How Often Should You Train?
Do you like to be active? Do you like feeling strong and healthy? If so, an active lifestyle is something you should strive for.
An active lifestyle has many amazing benefits, the most important of which is keeping your body healthy.
But an important question here is… How often should you train? And well, that's a tricky question because it depends on what you want to achieve.
For instance, if you're looking to get in great shape, tone up, or stay healthy, three to four times a week is a good start.
But if you're looking to compete in bodybuilding or powerlifting competitions, you'll need to be training every day somehow.
Now let's discuss this commonly-asked question to get you to your optimal training frequency!
Here's what you should consider
What's The Best Approach To Weight-loss?
It all begI bet you've asked yourself this question at least once. You're scrolling through Instagram, and you see your friend from high school who has a six-pack and wonder how they got there.
Did they have a personal trainer? Were they born with great genes? Are they on a weird diet that you could never stick to?
Maybe all of the above – but, more than likely, it took a whole lot of hard work, dedication, and consistency.
But the thing is, there are so many opinions about how to lose weight – it can be hard to know what's best.
Some people say you should cut out all carbs; others advocate for hours of cardio every day.
So what's the truth? What's the best way to lose weight and keep it off? Keep reading to find out!
