I am the fitness pro to clients of all levels – and there is one thing that I have seen my top level athletes do well that the rest of us should learn from. The top athletes I work with, and pro athletes everywhere, use mental motivation & “talk” as a regular part of the training… [Read more…]

After getting the great news about my recent health & wellness milestone, I was off to an all-inclusive Mexican vacation with Drew!

No judgment here, but just what kind of person are you? This question has been tumbling around with me lately as I watch people who are realizing that they ARE capable of rising up above whatever they previously thought they were. These are the people who are realizing they are indeed the ‘kind of person who jogs/sweats/picks nutritious foods/considers themselves… [Read more…]

You’d probably agree that humans are more highly evolved than crickets. Or maybe not when you look at how crickets are able to regrow their legs to be a perfect replica of the first pair & the closest thing we can do is grow skin to cover a cut or to hold our ever expanding… [Read more…]
