Bodybuilding Mount Rushmore
Growing up I was always self conscious about my body, I've always been a pretty skinny and short guy. I had also always been a part of sports in some fashion both during school and after school. However, my body just never wants to grow and hold onto muscle mass. Anyways, that got me obsessed with bodybuilding when I was barely a teenager. Hoping one day with enough hard work I could come even relatively close to these guys. I spent years studying the sport and learning about bodybuilding. Absorbing all I could about these men, praying I could look like them. That part of my life is now over, but I still have great admiration for what these men have put their bodies through, let's pay our respects and take a look at my bodybuilding Mount Rushmore.

Why "Resistance Quest"?
I named this brand back in 2014. I racked my brain thinking of a cool word or phrase that did not exist anywhere else. After a good amount of whiteboarding, mid-sleep scribbles, and Google searches to make sure "I really made it up," I settled on Resistance Quest.

A New Me
I have lost weight before. 50 lbs. I went to karate every day of the week. I only ate lean chicken breasts. I took care of my body and drank a lot of water. This was 5 years ago. This was when I was finding out who I really was. I wanted to test my body to the limit, and I wanted to experience everything new. That new me, landed me my hubby today. 4 years of being together, and alas we are blissfully happy. But with happiness also comes… body fat. Research has proven this.

Despite Adversity
Like many of us in the first month of a new year, I made new year’s resolutions. Like many of us, a portion of that centered on my health and wellness. But how do we maintain these commitments to ourselves when we face difficultit’s such as COVID, especially after injury leaves us unable to use vital parts of our body.

5 Secrets of a Healthy Body
I went for a running session today when I met a lady about 50 years of age and we had a laughter session together but after 20 minutes of running and session included my breaths lost their way and I was gasping heavily(by the way my age is in 20s) and the lady had her laughter session on me saying,” Dear, see my age and compare yours, I am more than your double age still you are gasping and I am all fine”

Damp 2021
If my prescribed drugs would allow me to imbibe, I’d have a double Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey every day of this first month of the new year. That doesn’t mean my mouth (or year, for that matter) will be dry, it’s just that the “damp” will be from my sweat, not my choice of beverage! Our family gifted ourselves a high-end stationary bicycle for Christmas. I’ve already charted a schedule to ride at least a half an hour, six days each week.

Tori's run
Perched on its branch on the tallest tree, a pair of watchful eyes glow under the night sky. The moon is bright, providing a perfect amount of light to watch what is happening in the woods tonight. Every night these watchful eyes see something new. They always visit different trees and different branches to get a unique perspective. Some nights they see teenagers playing, teasing, and chasing each other, partying away from their parents. Most nights are quiet with little disturbances except for the occasional sound of a broken twig. Tonight it looks like the strange woman is out running again, working her way through the woods. The woman never sees the eyes watching her during her runs, usually too focused on pacing herself for them to make eye contact.

How To Be Active At Home During Quarantine, And Why It's So Hard To Stick To It
The earth has rotated around the sun for yet another year, and what a year it was. For most of 2020, Americans spent it in quarantine. We worked from home, we cooked at home, we ate at home. Compared to any other time in my life, I was the least active I had ever been. And there is absolutely no shame in that.

Do this 5-minute workout to stay fit daily (with illustrations and videos)
In this era of occupied and hectic life, with tight and strict schedules we all struggle to find time for ourselves, our health, and fitness. Being a full-time learner and part-time freelancer I hardly have any time for myself. This got me frustrated as I was having a LOT of health issues, be it your body pain, neck pain, or gaining weight day-by-day.

The Citizen, the Challenger, and the Fighter
A Fourth Group? Before I go any further, I must discuss a fourth group. If there is a fourth group in the Fitness Society, which I only exclude because they may not yet have truly entered it, that group is undoubtedly the Novice.

Your Favourite Sport You Haven’t Started Yet
For some, running can be a tough slog. Each step feels like its own marathon, each breath feels like it could be the last. These people may try to get into running time and time again, either to become healthier or to improve their physical fitness, but deep down, they're hating every second of it. What if I told you it didn't have to be this way?
