New year, new resolutions. More exercise, healthier eating, less stress, finally being consistent. Sound familiar? Then you're not alone. The desire for change at the turn of the year is completely normal. A new year feels like a  fresh start —as if you could start with a clean slate. But that's exactly why many resolutions fail. The problem is rarely the intention itself. It's the way  it is planned : too big, too vague, too far removed from everyday life. Not because of laz

If you exercise regularly, you've probably noticed that “ strength ” doesn't always feel the same. Sometimes you lift heavy and slow, sometimes you jump explosively, sometimes your muscles are burning halfway through the set. And yet everyone says, “That's strength training.” But that's not true.  Strength is not just strength. There are  different types  of exercise—maximum strength, explosive strength and strength endurance —and each one challenges your body in a completely

If you've landed on this article, it means you're ready to take  your first steps  into the exciting world of  CrossFit . Or maybe you're still wondering whether CrossFit is right for you. Let's put it this way:  Yes, do it!  It changed our lives and will hopefully turn yours upside down too! But what exactly does CrossFit training involve, and how is a typical class structured? More importantly, how do you get started  as a  beginner ? We'll tell you everything you need to k

You probably know those days when you can hardly get going in the morning, yet suddenly find yourself wide awake late at night. Other days are exactly the opposite: you feel awake and active early on, but by the afternoon, you somehow run out of steam. This often seems random—but it isn't. The pattern behind this is called the circadian rhythm . This is nothing more than the internal clock that your body has been following for millions of years. Sleep , energy, hunger, focus,

You can lift weights without actually exercising. Sounds strange, doesn't it? But that's exactly what happens when you just do repetitions at the gym without really feeling what your body is doing. This is where the  muscle-mind connection  comes into play—the ability to consciously control your  muscles  during movement. It makes the difference between “going through the motions” and  targeted training . It's not about esotericism, but about  control . When your head is real

When you hear “ endurance training ,” you probably think of endless runs on the treadmill or sprints that nearly kill you, right? But cardio is now much more than just running, rowing, or cycling. Basically, there are two ways: Short and intense  – really push yourself for a few minutes. Or long and steady  – the classic, relaxed endurance run. Both variants have their strengths. And then there is a third option that often makes the biggest difference:  mixed training —a clev

If you work out regularly at the gym, you know the drill: same air, same faces, same equipment. Effective? Yes. Varied? Not so much. Outdoor training is the exact opposite: you have space, fresh air, sun on your skin—and really no excuses.  Outdoor training gives you that feeling of freedom  that you might miss at the gym. And  functional fitness  is the perfect fit:  you lift, pull, jump, push, and run . And best of all, you can train  anywhere . In the park, on the beach, a

There are exercises that simply  build muscle . And then there is deadlifting. This isn't about show, but about  real  strength . It's about tension throughout your entire body, about control, about the feeling when you stand up straight and hold the weight steadily in your hand. Deadlifts are simple: you lift, you work, you get stronger— physically and mentally . Whether at the gym, in the garage, or at home, this movement will help you progress. If you want to understand  w
