Remember when we were kids, and we spent hours each day enjoying movement? We may not have known it then, but so much of those activities and movement patterns are what we use as adults to build workout plans and keep fitness a part of our life. However, so much of the fun has been taken from working out! We may have success in our commitments to the latest group training class on the block but are we actually being effective? Are we staying true to our specific goals?

Joe Carabase, on Instagram @joecarabase, is a fitness industry veteran, host of the "Fat M.E.L.T.-ing Radio" podcast and multiple-location owner of his own private training facilities. He was the Men's Health 2014 "Next Top Trainer" finalist and has created multiple books and online programs to help busy people get the most effective (and fun) workouts through both in-person and online training.
