Have you ever noticed that some people work out half as much as you do, but seem to grow muscles twice as fast? Or, have you tried to pick up running or cycling just to find that you were so slow that time seemed to be moving backward? Everyone is good at something, but most […]

Are you a morning person or a night owl? The time of the day that you choose to you exercise depends on your schedule and your energy levels. Some people burst out of bed in the morning and head to the gym. Others fumble in the dark until they chug enough coffee to open their […]

If your family was lucky enough to have Disney movie-style breakfasts with eggs, fruit, pancakes, and orange juice then we’re jealous. Normally, it’s a struggle to wake up early enough to have a piece of toast and make coffee before rushing out for work. Breakfast is also known as the “most important meal of the […]

Few supplements work, most don’t, and some are downright confusing. None will leave your head in a tailspin more than Vitamin D. It’s a hormone/vitamin that you can get from food, pills, and the sun. It boosts your immune system, helps build strong bones, and fights depression (all good things, right?) but you shouldn’t have […]

There’s been a lot of buzz about BMI recently, due to the underlying conditions exceptions for Covid-19 vaccines.

The Antioxidant Battling Covid You’d think that exercise would be more regularly recommended in 2021 to prevent complications from Covid-19. After all, many comorbidities are reduced or eliminated by regular exercise. The lack of recommendations from the powers that be are probably due to a lack of understanding. Can working out really protect you from […]

Balancing Between Cardio and Strength Training The more you get into fitness, the more you’ll figure out what you like.

Alternative Pain Management If you’ve been dealing with pain in your back, neck or shoulders for a while, chances are surgery has crossed your mind at least once.

Are Waist Trainers A Waste? When someone is said to have “an hourglass shape” they essentially just have a thin waist in proportion to the rest of their body.

Can Exercise Cancel Out A Bad Diet? Can exercise cancel out a bad diet? Perhaps that’s the wrong question to ask. Theoretically, you should try to eat a healthy diet either way. That means eating more fiber, less sugar and less saturated fat. In other words, you have to fight the food around you. The […]

Exercise After COVID Perhaps the most troubling thing about COVID-19 is its unpredictability. The severity of the illness ranges from nonexistent to fatal, with a myriad of levels in between. Symptoms are seemingly as unique to the individual as a fingerprint. Scientists are working overtime to understand the disease, but its confounding many experts. The […]

Don’t Be SAD, Workout Like Mad! Seasonal depression is a real thing, especially in New York. Maybe that’s why you see so many people dressed in black and grey! At this time of year, we’re close to the winter solstice, which is the shortest (darkest) day of the year. Normally we have a raucous holiday […]

Noam’s Nugget of Wisdom We asked Noam, Owner of TS, to distill everything he’s learned about getting in shape over his years of experience down into one sentence.

One of the best things about working out virtually is that you don’t have to worry about being judged by others (well aside from your cat).

When you’re feeling tense, on edge, and overwhelmed, a good stress-relieving workout can help!

There is a big emphasis on breathwork for kettlebells,” said Noam Tamir, TS Founder. […]

How to Hydrate and Fuel For Your Workouts Proper eating habits can be the difference between seeing and feeling significant results or not.

When you're working out in a small apartment in New York City, you and your muscles may feel a bit cramped so it is important to take time to stretch. You should also consider foam rolling before and after your virtual work out. Noam was recently featured in an article about top foam rollers on […]

One of the most widely consumed performance-enhancing drugs is sitting in your mug or thermos almost every day (hint: it’s not steroids). Caffeine is both mentally and physically stimulating.

There’s an old saying that goes “no pain no gain.” It’s also the title of a hilarious movie featuring Marky Mark Wahlburg and The Rock, but we’re not going to talk about that today. According to Google, the term “no pain no gain” was started by Jane Fonda in one of her workout videos. In […]
