Well, that wraps up another year! To finish up 2016, here is a list of the 10 most popular posts on my blog over this last year. Whether you missed one or want a quick refresher read, here you go!
First a note of thanks
I wanted to start this post with saying a special thank you to everyone for taking your valuable time to read my blog this year! Thanks also to all those who shared, liked and passed along my posts in various ways. Thanks to those who purchased my book “Athletic Training for Fat Loss”.
I also wanted to give a special note of thanks to Jon Goodman and the PTDC (Personal Trainer Development Center). I’m grateful to not only have some of my articles published on their site, but also to have some to have many of my posts chosen for their prestigious “Best Fitness Articles of This Week” series. 2016 was my best year ever on this blog and a large part of the success was from the PTDC sending people to my blog to read my articles – thank you!

I hate how ladies seem to always be at the receiving end of bad fitness information. Too many ladies waste their valuable time in the gym doing inferior exercises that are presented as “special” women-specific exercises to target those common female “problem spots.” Ladies, its time you knew the truth. It is time you got the results you deserve! Simply swap these popular 8 “lady exercises” for these superior alternatives and you will be on your way to success!
This post started with an excellent question from a student of mine. It ended up as a guide to understand your individual body structure and know how to find the best deadlift variations to suite your body. Deadlifts are an amazing exercise, but only if you the right variations for you!
