3 Reasons People Fail and 1 Simple Solution.
So often people do not live up to their fitness goals for at least one of the following three reasons. Reasons: Discontentment, Jealousy, and Pride Discontentment, jealousy, and pride often leads to quitting instead of persevering. When you become discontent, jealous, or prideful you start to “notice” what everyone else is doing. For example you start to see what others are eating for lunch and dinner and you start to get discontent, jealous, and prideful because of this other person's “diet” food. You start to think, “If only I could get away with eating _______! Why do they get to eat ______ and...
Dillon Down 20 lbs in 5 weeks and his common question…
I get asked this question often . “Do I have to use weights and practice resistance training? Can’t I just go running or get on a treadmill and build muscle? Don't I use muscles when I run?” Not in the manner needed to look like a sprinter, who uses resistance training, and a marathon runner who doesn't. See the differences in the pictures? My most recent client who asked this question was Dillon. Dillon in the past had lost a lost of weight simply by doing aerobic exercise and eating pretty much nothing (starvation should not be a diet option). Yes,...

Today, I'm going tell you a story about when I was a little kid and how it relates to infomercials, fitness products, Facebook wonder ads, most supplements, and so on and so forth.

Sorry! I didn’t think to share this crazy awesome find until today…..
I am a little embarrassed I didn’t think to send this out on Monday. Sometimes I can be a real bone head ;-). On Sunday, we were killing some time in the Wal-Mart off on Hanes Mall Blvd, in Winston-Salem while my wife’s van was getting its oil changed. While we were walking around I saw an amazing deal on Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells. You can get these Dumbbells (assuming they are still available) for $138.00 dollars, normally $299.99!
