Here are five reasons why you aren't losing weight.

The swiss ball and medicine ball are common pieces of equipment in most gyms these days. But I find that many people are stuck on ideas on how to use them. Below is a great workout that will get your muscles burning and it will take you just over 30 minutes to complete!

It can be hard to stay motivated with exercise over the winter months, when all you want to do is stay warm and cuddle your blankets inside. But just because it is freezing outside, doesn't mean you can't exercise in the comfort of your warm cosy house!

Tomorrow will mark three weeks since I competed at the Classic Powerlifting World Championships in Salo, Finland. Wow. How time really does fly! Competing on the World stage been a dream of mine since taking up the sport and it is an experience I will cherish forever. Meeting, lifting beside, and watching the world's best lifters has now sparked a stronger desire in me to become a better lifter. I love this sport, and watching and talking to other lifters has given me greater motivation to be the best possible lifter I can be.

Three weeks ago I had the privilege once again to compete at the Australian Powerlifting Championships. The last few years I have really enjoyed competing at this competition as it is a great event to catch-up with all of my powerlifting friends from across Australia.

It's been two and half weeks since I competed at the 2015 Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio, USA. It was a turbulent trip away with some great highs and some personal lows. But all in all, it was a wonderful experience.

Injuries suck. Suck big time. They can be devastating to people who have an active lifestyle and/or are training for an event or sport.

Like most people, I love listening to music while I train. During my powerlifting sessions, I listen to a lot of rap and metal music. However, in my general weight training sessions and cardio sessions I listen to more pop, rock and even some alt-country music. It is in this vein I present to you my top 10 workout songs of 2014. Happy listening!

Medicine balls are a great piece of equipment. At home or in the gym, you can use a medicine ball to create an awesome intense cardio/conditioning session!

The word 'prehab' may sound like something reserved only for athletes, but it's actually something everyone should be doing - regardless of your training goals or fitness levels. To me, prehab incorporates stretching, foam rolling, trigger point work (such as lying on a cricket ball), physio and massage, all for the purpose of preventing injuries and the need for rehabilitation.
