I don't know about you, but I am easily bored — in the gym, at work, and at home. I need new challenges. But not just new — effective and stimulating challenges. Meet my friend Nick. He's been training over 17 years and he's got degrees and certifications up the wazoo. But more importantly, he has happy customers. You see, he trains high-level athletes as well as “Average Joes and Janes” to become better, faster, and stronger. He's launched a new membership site that will totally knock your socks off. He's very well-known for his innovative (some would say “wacky”) exercise variations. Whatever you call them, his methods are effective. In short, he gets results. And that's why we all do what we do. I suggest you head on over to Powerful Training Secrets right now and lock in your subscription; this is going to be HUGE and the first ones in get set prices forever. (And his monthly dues are ridiculously low. Trust me on this.)

I'm certainly no Starbucks guy (though I will, on occasion, buy their banana bread)–I call them "5 Bucks" because you can't buy anything in there for less than $5. And what they sell is not coffee. It's sugar and fat-laden crap with coffee is the delivery mechanism. Kinda like french fries at McDonalds ("You want fries with your salt?").
No, I'm talking good old fashioned black coffee.
Because I'm no coffee expert, I'm looking to you guys for some guidance: Are there any good-tasting coffees on the marketplace that offer all of the good health effects of standard black coffee?
