Monday, August 11th, 2008As I was watching the crazy efforts today with our maximal effort work outs, It made me think: “Why are we asking these people to do this? Why are we asking this 68 year old woman to challenge herself with her push ups, pull ups and high pulls to the point of exhaustion. To the point [...]

Someone needs what you know!
Thursday, August 7th, 2008America is getting fatter and fatter and what the majority of Americans are doing for fitness is obviously not working. The Club-Ex machine dominance, isolation moves, and cardio hell prescribed by the Fitness Mafia of America is, quite simply, profit-driven garbage that fails to take people where they want to go.

Journals
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Two nights ago, I had a handful of M&M’s. In fact, I can tell you I ate seven of the peanut kind, which is my favorite. Under normal circumstances, I would’ve simply grabbed a bunch, mindlessly eaten them while talking to a colleague and forgotten them entirely.
Instead, I know the specific number I ate because [...]
From the Dali Lama……
Sunday, July 27th, 2008Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Respect for self,
Respect for others and
Responsibility for all your actions.
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
Don’t let a [...]
Food for thought……
Friday, July 25th, 2008WOULDN’T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVES THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?
‘ My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.
Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq [...]

Why I Train
Thursday, July 24th, 2008I have always wanted to write an article like this. Ever since I became interested in exercise and decided it would be not only my career choice, but my passion, I have yearned to explain to people why exactly I love it and hold it to be the foundation of the way I lead [...]
You gotta want this!
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Had a conversation the other day that got me thinking. I’m in the fitness business, not the hand holding business. I have a system that takes ordinary people and turns them into athletes. I can look our women in the eyes and remind them of that day they asked if they would be a weakling [...]
