No, seriously. What are you waiting for before you start making necessary lifestyle changes to reach your fitness and health goals? Every day I hear the same thing: It’s Friday and I want to have a good time this weekend, so I’ll start exercising/eating right on Monday Oh, it’s the end of the month so I’ll start the beginning of next month Well, the beginning of the month starts on a …

One Step Closer
She sat silently in the locker room with her elbows resting on her knees. The fragrance of lavender soap filled her nostrils as she took a deep breath and sighed. It had been one hell of a day at work; she had to show up an hour early and stay an hour late. Instead of a 30 minute lunch break, she only got ten. “Where am I going to get the energy in the next five minutes to squat,” she wondered as …
Baby Steps for Better Health
“It’s time to get ready for summer. Just tell me what to do and I’ll do it no matter how complicated it may be. I want to be bikini-ready in four weeks.” It never fails. I always hear or read an email similar to the statement above. Since summer is just around the corner, people are starting to think about bikini season and want to drop body fat fast. But here’s the cold hard truth – most people …
If I Had to Pick One Thing
I really don’t like the question, “If you could only do one exercise, what would it be?” The reality is that I don’t have to choose just one thing, and neither do you. And more than likely, I never will have to choose just one. But since people like asking the question and receiving a genuine answer, I’ll take a stab at it. So if forced to pick just one “exercise” for people to perform, I would …

I like to make stuff myself because I find it enjoyable and interesting, especially if it will save me some money in the process. For example, I showed you How to Make Your Own Sandbag a couple of years ago. It was very cheap and easy to make, and I still use it to this day. Today I’m going to show you how to make your own weight lifting/powerlifting chains. …
Three Simple Ways to Lose Fat
I haven’t talked specifically about fat loss in a while. That’s mostly because I prefer to focus on getting stronger to look better. You don’t have to focus on losing body fat in order to achieve it. My clients focus on getting stronger and improving their performance in the gym; fat loss is just a great side effect. However, summer is quickly approaching, and that means people will be flocking …
An Example of Rest Pause Training
This week is going to be very busy for me. Not only am I still working on the website redesign and the (very near future) release of Beautiful Badass, but I’m also working on another awesome project that I’ll be announcing soon. On top of all of that, I’m in the process of moving this week. I still want to get some great information out to you this week, so I’m going to share a great training …
Have a Fun Workout
One of the things I would like to change about the fitness industry is this notion that every workout has to leave you exhausted, fatigued, and crawling out of the gym in a pool of your own sweat, blood, and tears. If the workout wasn’t brutal, then it wasn’t effective. Or so many people think. Not every workout or training session has to be tough. In fact, not every training session has to take …
