Gaining strength in the gym is all about choosing the correct exercises and putting in the effort. You are not going to gain a lot of overall body strength by going from the pec deck machine to the leg extension station, this is the wrong approach for someone wishing to gain raw strength. Isolation exercises for the most part should be thrown out of the window, with the major compound movements taking their rightful place (arguably this is the case for many non strength gym goers also). A short session can be very effective, so we can limit ourselves to…

Throughout history the apple has been prescribed as a relief to various illnesses, and probably for good reason. The apple contains a high quantity of antioxidants which help prevent cancer, reduce “bad” cholesterol and control insulin levels. Although the apple is not massively high in vitamins and minerals like other fruits, it does have some very beneficial properties. The apple is an excellent source of soluble fibre which…

Many gyms are now well equipped with cable stations which allow gym goers to attach various handles and bars and perform traditional exercises using the smooth and versatile cable system.

This article outlines four leg exercises which can be performed at home, with nothing more than a set of dumbbells. Dumbbell squat The dumbbell squat targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, buttocks and lower back. The trainee squats down, grasping…
