We have all undergone big changes in our lives in the past two weeks in order to keep ourselves, our loved ones, and our world safe.  Gyms have closed down out of necessity, along with many other businesses.  New routines in every aspect of life are being developed, and hopefully it is not the new norm for us.  With CASS Fitness for the most part being a mobile personal training company, we have had to adjust slightly.  The apartment, condo, and office gyms have also shut down just like the…

Candida, the scientific name for yeast, is responsible for one of the most common forms of infections in human beings. This organism naturally lives in the mouth and intestines and aids the digestive function. But when their number grows excessively, you may experience a leaky gut and several other health issues. If you come across digestive issues, oral thrush, genital infections, seasonal allergies, and mood swings persistently, you are probably suffering from Candida overgrowth.   When you experience such symptoms, you must see a doctor immediately and start the right…

  People should pay close attention to what they eat. Fatty foods lead to more weight, and before you know it, you refuse to wear something revealing because of all that excess fat. There is a way to get rid of that as well. You just have to be persistent and patient with the process.   A good idea to lose weight and strengthen your muscles is to have a good workout regime. The more you sweat, the more calories you burn and your body would be healthier. You just…

Happy Father's Day! I am not a father, yet. However, many of our clients, friends, and readers are fathers. Many are fathers who are also killing it in their fitness routines. They do not make excuses! However, I do know being a father, especially a new father can be exhausting and detrimental to your workout routines. Sleep is choppy at best, and nonexistent at worst! Yes, my amazing 4 year old niece is a guilty reason there is fatherly sleep deprivation!     Out of all the trends in fitness,…

  I recently was provided the opportunity to sample a tub of Naked Nutrition's Less Naked Chocolate Whey Protein. For those not familiar with Naked Nutrition, they pride themselves on selling products with only the purest ingredients, stripping away all of the marketing and gimmicks that many companies use today. They want to help you meet your nutrition and fitness goals while being transparent about their products. You would know exactly what you are putting into your body. That is important in a world where there are lots of fillers…

We've talked about Jenna for awhile now, and hopefully by now there have been some tips you can use to help your baby. Let's get into something for the adults today.   Jenna is about 5 months now and her sleep patterns still vary, which can present itself as a challenge. Sleep...though very important for babies, it certainly is important to the health, or at least the sustainability of ones health.   When it comes to babies, they pretty much are organized by natural instincts that tell them it's time…

  193, 194, 19...5. My scale kept climbing toward 200 lbs. At 5'8, that is not a healthy weight. I managed to gain 40 lbs in one semester of college at Penn State's Main Campus. It was no secret why. Well at the time, I did not know why exactly.  Here are the no-brainer reasons I gained 40 lbs.   1.) I drank way too much alcohol (beer and mixed drinks for the most part)   2.) I ate way too much pizza (often after a night of beer and/or…

Forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and a hunched back are just some of the many problems we increasingly face on a daily basis.  These can result in shoulder pain, lower back pain, neck pain, and more.  I personally went through this journey after years of bad posture from improper driving positions, constantly looking down at my iPhone to text, write emails, work in my programs, and surf the web, as well as jutting my head forward while working on my computer.  It finally came to a point where I was…

The protein bar world has exploded in the past few years. Correct me if I am wrong, but I give a lot of credit to Quest for making a bar high in protein, low in sugar, and not tasting like cardboard. There are so many new protein bars out there with the majority of them having favorable taste and a healthy ratio of macronutrients.   This brings me to the Bulletproof Collagen Protein Bars. In particular I was interested in the Mint Chocolate Chip flavor, growing up a fan of…
