Although following a good exercise system alone WILL give you results, you'll make faster progress if you take care of your nutrition too.

I've had a couple of good questions from people over the years, which I thought I'd share with you.

1) What about adding flavour with sauces, spice...

I just posted a new article on the pectoral workout approach in The Apollo Program.

Check it out; it reveals some of my secrets of building chest muscles.

As we all know, nutrition and exercise are both important to help shed fat. When it comes to exercise, ignore what the "experts" and "gurus" try to claim. You can't beat cardio (aerobic) exercise when it comes to fat loss.

Introducing a couple of cardio sessions per week will do wonders for y...

Everyone knows that Coke and other soft drinks are high in sugar and can be fattening. But what about fruit juice? Is that really any better?

The fact is that fruit is very high in sugar, and when it is concentrated to make juice, the sugar content gets even higher. If you're not careful, tha...

The Greek discus forms an important part of my Apollo Program. It's one of the exercises which I "revived" by studying ancient statues and artworks.

What I came up with was a great way to tone the side abdominals and sculpt the shoulder muscles.

The twisting and coiling movements are ...

The classic physique is not a bodybuilder's body. Even though my 12-week Apollo Program incorporates free weights, many of the exercises are totally different to the bodybuilding approach. The aim of my system is to have a lean, toned and healthy body, with everything in perfect proportion.

Do you know the correct way to make coffee?

You're supposed to add milk to the coffee powder first, before you pour in the hot water. If you add the water first, some people say that it burns the coffee powder and ruins the taste. But putting the milk in first is supposed to stop that from ha...

If you've been involved in a healthy lifestyle for some time, you'll almost certainly have had people older than you try to burst your bubble. You can recognise them by the way they start sentences with the words, "When you reach my age…" They'll then launch into a speech where they try to convince ...

One thing that really annoys me is when some food manufacturer tries to make a big deal that his product has got fruit in it. Please don't fall for this. And also, don't be impressed just because something is supposedly contributing to your "five a day!" Are we expected to believe that this little b...

One thing that always makes me laugh is when people assume that men with muscular bodies are stupid. Maybe it's just sour grapes, but it's an attitude that's certainly everywhere. We hear it in expressions like "brute strength" and "brains over brawn." People walk around saying stuff like, "I'd rath...

While many people make it a resolution to join a gym or health club, I kicked off 2010 by quitting mine! No, I haven't stopped training. I've just decided to get all the equipment I need and train in my garage. A bench, barbell, dumbells and a running machine are really all I need. I was getting sic...
