Brace Yourselves!

Smart Strength Training is about to get super SMART with a new website design! Over the next week or so, each page on the site will be slowly transitioned to the new design. It should make the site much easier to read, navigate and, best of all, to enjoy!

I'll also be creating some new sections to the website, namely yoga, challenges of medical illnesses, a section devoted to women and lots and LOTS of exercises and workout programs for you all to try!

As the website progresses, I encourage everyone to submit their ideas for website topics. Better yet, if you submit articles, I'll be likely to post them (subject to approval, obviously)!

How do you submit articles? Well, there are certain pages on the site at this very moment that allow your articles to be written and directly submitted. These pages include "How much protein per day?", Ab Workout Myths and Chest Exercises.

Also, over the coming few weeks, I will provide better ways to submit your ideas and articles and also create more space for you guys to write.

There's much more to come! Stay tuned :)
