Is Your Workout Program Boring?
Yesterday, we went to Broadway By The Beach, some of you may have noticed if you follow me at all on social media :-). It was honestly a great time and it was pretty hilarious too. There were so many “shiny” things to pull at our attention. They have an upside down skyscraper, with upside down trees. Axel got super confused, “How can a building could become upside down?” I even got him on video trying to explain how he thought it occurred. In his mind, a tornado had swept by, lifted up this giant building and place it...
Kenna’s B-Day Gift Shattered Into a Million Pieces…
For Kenna’s Birthday we got her a Hatchable. Kenna absolutely loves it. For those who don't know what a Hatchable is, it's a fury animal that comes in an egg and when you rub it and take care of it for 15-20 minutes it hatches, it literally pops out of an eggshell. Kenna was super excited about it. She was rubbing it, it was glowing, shaking, it was even talking, the thing really made you feel like a mother. However, Kenna then decided to put Hatchable into her dress and rub it because the Hatchable quote-unquote liked that. She said...
Beware! Doctor warns Spanx are making your tummy and butt soft and squishy!
As most of you know, the fam and I are at the beach for Kenna’s 4th birthday. Vacations are great, you get to relax, slow down, and wake up at the crack of dawn because you have a 5 and 4 year old who refuse to relax and slow down lol ;-). Any way, I was up “supervising” and by supervising I mean drinking coffee and watching the news when I saw an interview with a doctor that got my attention. It was about the danger of wearing “Spanx’s!” Sorry, you probably just spit out your coffee or tea, I...
You can impact your future TODAY!!!
On Sunday it is Kenna’s birthday, she turns 4 ;-)! When we asked her what she wanted she said, “My want to go to the beach!” So we are going to the beach, which is perfect timing because next week the studio is closed. Once a quarter the place closes down because a little rest is good for all involved ;-). On Wednesday I talked about your confidence when it comes to your future. This made me think about some things in the past that were totally missed. Here are a few famous mistakes. In 1962 Decca Recording Company rejected the...
The all mighty Cardio Myth!!!
The cardio myth is super simple and seems 100% possible, which is why it makes for a great myth ;-). The basic tenet goes like this: Do only cardio to lose fat. This is simply not true! First, you can do all the cardio in the world and if you aren’t in a caloric deficit it won’t matter. If you eat more food than your body needs you won’t lose weight. Second, yes, cardio can enhance fat loss. Why? Cardio when done correctly allows you to burn more calories and can even help speed up your metabolism. Both of which will help you...
Are You Confident About Your Future?
Yesterday, I listened to a Podcast and it talked about Futurologists. I had no idea that was thing, basically they are people who try and predict the future. Seems like that would be a fun job to me. I imagine they get consulted to help create shows for Star Trek and other sci-fi genre stuff. One of the more interesting predictions is that some babies born today, will live to the age of 150. On the outset that sounds pretty epic, but it made me think. Do I even want to live that long? I think it would greatly depend on...
Some perspective from a weight loss client named Dee.
I got this note from an epic client named Dee. Dee has always been into working out and being fit and at one point in her life she got down to 15% body fat. Then she got a “great” job and was super busy, she slowly over time gained some weight. Then one day she woke up and decided she was sick of it and proceeded to lose 50 lbs and get back to her ideal self. With Dee’s back story in mind this is the note she sent me. “I heard this song ‘Slow Fade’ by Casting Crowns on my...

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! If I didn’t have a personal training studio in my house, I would buy these in a heartbeat! 90% of my...
