I’m having trouble doing push ups correctly. Can you recommend any particular exercises to increase wrist and tricep strength. My biceps rock from running with weights, but because pushups are great for back and chest muscles I would like to do them more often. My husband says to just keep building up the number I [...]
I’d say this is kind of a rehash—but so is my life. And, if you skim read carefully, you’ll see it’s not a repost. My life is simply Groundhog’s Day. A Day in the Life of MizFit: Immediately after waking I head here (yes it’s the crack of dawn. no I dont set an alarm. [...]
This one is all about you. Three of your questions and ones which I think we’ve all had at one point or another. Hanlie asks: How do I determine which weights are right for me?

Subtitle: Please, if you have not yet, take a moment and ready the first Jyze post. The Tuesday Testdrive which never transpired. Following that post, the inventor of Jyze was kind enough to drop by & attempt (once again) to help me in my failure to Jyze. Hi MizFit Let me assure you, you are [...]
