Decisions, decisions…what pants to wear, how to do your hair, which frappaccino to get at Starbucks (wait a minute, scratch the frapp if you want to have any hope of staying trim – check out our article on the Barone Performance blog for more on that!) How many food-related decisions to do you think you… [Read more…]

Watch his hands! Seriously! Watch his hands because you know something is happening here & he’s got to be doing it with his hands – but I can’t figure out what it is! Making sure you have a good PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) is partially about taking a moment to let someone amaze you. And… [Read more…]

There’s an odd trend that’s been happening lately…maybe it’s been going on longer, but I’ve only been a self-aware, world-conscious adult for a few years now, so I can’t speak for many of the decades before this one. See if you can figure out what the common link is. ”16 & Pregnant” is a show on… [Read more…]

5am workouts need a different kind of workout music. At our performance center, we have Pandora on the computer with a bunch of channels so our clients can pick the workout music they want to listen to…my normal workout faves would be the Breaking Benjamin stations…but at 5am, they sometimes get a little loud & the beat… [Read more…]

You know you’ve watched the show. The ever ticking time clock. The secret ingredient. The odd-ball panel of judges. Iron Chef (either the original or the :America version) is possibly one of the most interesting, most educational, and best college-drinking game shows on television today. But I wouldn’t know much about that last one. The rules of… [Read more…]

I did not get a degree in marketing, PR, advertising, media, or art. I got a degree in something that was the furthest thing from art. I studied (and continue to study) in science – the world where there is a reason for things to ‘be’, where systems run like clockwork unless something really goes off… [Read more…]

Oh the humanity. In the last 24 hours, it has become completely clear to me why we, as a people, are sicker, fatter, and less happy than ever before. It’s not that I didn’t know it or see it before….that’s why I started this blog, why I work with personal training clients & why I now… [Read more…]

Did you know that Google, while already storing something like a billion pages of information, in the year 2000 had only just won its first “Webby” award….which I guess is like an Oscar, but is voted on by people who speak in computer code. It’s a big deal to win one. The point is, it’s… [Read more…]
