Remember being ga-ga for some boy or girl in your youth who you’d literally go to the ends of the Earth for…in a kind of unhealthy, young & stupid/sweet kind of way? Surely most of us have had that relationship that made us lose our damn minds for the person in those initial ‘shiny new… [Read more…]

I once attended a business seminar & came away remembering this line more than anything else…”A person is motivated by 1 of 2 things – what are they going to get or how can they prevent getting hurt.” The part that really stayed with me was this next line the speaker said; from whatever standpoint… [Read more…]

I’ve got a theory. And it may ruffle your feathers. If it does, all I can say is, “if the shoe fits…” I get the blessing of working with folks who want something better for their life – whether in sport, in daily life, or in both. And while sometimes they get a little off-track,… [Read more…]

You can’t flip a channel on TV these days without stumbling into some sort of weight loss show or talk show devoted to weight loss or the latest fitness tips.

The day will not always go as planned. The weather will not be always be perfect on race day. You will not get a great nights’ sleep. You’ll fall off the healthy-nutrition wagon.

You know these people, every.single.decision they have to make gets an “ummm” & a long stare at the menu board before the decision is offered up.… [Read more…]

Right, so I’ve been MIA lately. If I wanted to mark a momentous birthday with something really big, well, I certainly did that. And so I’ve taken the last week to decompress a bit. Thus, no writing, just thinking. (Which should turn into some lovely writing) While it’s not the commitment my mother would have probably wanted,… [Read more…]

Rarely do I value the things I see on weight loss show, Biggest Loser. God bless the shows’ intentions! However, the actions Biggest Loser trainers take to push their morbidly obese clients to 2olb weekly weight losses are sometimes questionable by those educated & certified in the training field. The crazy intensities the contestants bodies may… [Read more…]

Part of what my clients know me for is my focus on the details of the exercise I am asking them to do. Just because a body can move, does not mean it is moving well. And that is the thing about programs like P90X or at-home bootcamps – super great workouts IF your body is… [Read more…]
