What Matters Most To You?
I'm waiting...
The top picture was from our recent trip to San Francisco. We spent a few days doing the typical tourist stuff, and had a great time.
In taking some time off work I realized how hectic my schedule had become. I was waking up at 4 or 4:30 in the morning 6 days a week. I had a good number of clients but I was sacrificing my sleep. This lack of sleep filtered down throughout the rest of my life.
So why do I mention this to you?
I'm always preaching the basics. Train hard, eat clean, and get enough sleep and recovery...but I wasn't taking my own advice.
Well after that trip to San Francisco I dropped those early morning clients...and I feel fantastic.
So if you are in the same situation and not getting enough sleep, I encourage you to make the necessary changes.
We just dropped off my kids as they are off to Brazil for the summer. Two months with family in Sao Paulo and Rio.
What My Client's 8 Year Old Thinks About Exercise
I've posted a great crayon drawing done by the son of one of my one-on-one clients. Please check it out here.
Avoid Fitnes Hype if You Really Want To Change Your Body
So much of what I see in the fitness world is hype.
- Do this program and you'll get sexy abs.
- Trim Your Trouble Zone in 3 Minutes
You know...I could go on and on.
If it was really this easy everyone would have tight, lean bodies.
So what does it really take?
Think of an Olympic athlete. He or she is competing against the best in the world. Do you think they can "choose" to eat poorly or skip training. Not if they want to win. They must show up and give their 100% each and every minute of their training.
Now I realize you may be saying, "well I'm no Olympic athlete so I can miss a few sessions, or have that extra dessert." Oh really.
Those missed sessions accumulate, and those desserts add up...and what do you have? A fat and lethargic life.
Don't you want to live life at it's highest?
Get focused, train consistently. You deserve it. Your family deserves it. Don't miss out on what this world has to offer. Only you can do this.
Here's an inspiring video to get you going.

A Piece of Fitness Equipment That I Think You Should Get
It's not very often that I recommend a certain piece of fitness equipment. Probably because I keep to the basics when training my clients.
My favorite tools are:
- Stability balls
- Kettelbells
- Jump rope
- Medicine balls
- Dumbbells
From this list above you can whip your body into incredible shape.
Ever since the original Bosu Ball came out about 8 years ago, I've personally had a lot of fun on it, and so have my clients. Now there is a home version. I bought the gym version for over $120, and this new "home version" is about half that.
I highly recommend that you buy this useful and fun fitness tool.
You can buy it here from Perform Better.
P.S. Let me know your favorite exercises.
