I’ve heard so many people say that they don’t need a coach or a trainer. They think this for a variety of reasons. Some people think they know what to do in the gym but just need to do it. Others think the free resources for diets and exercise plans they’ll find online are enough to achieve the result. Too many people jump on the quick fix bandwagon and buy the supplements, wraps, and pills their friend is selling and sharing amazing testimonials over the internet. (NOTE: the

WAY too many times in my career I’ve seen people simply fall into acceptance when it comes to body change that can occur after 40. Suddenly how we were eating and exercising (or not) isn’t giving us the desired result. Instead of resigning to what may feel like inevitable body change, here are 6 things you can do to counter an aging body and metabolism: Focus on adding as much muscle to your body as possible. Muscle will keep your metabolism high and you’ll be burning more fa

We’re going straight to the point here. We live in a country where sugar addiction is rampant. In fact, I think more people are experiencing it than not. There are all kinds of supplements and tricks available for purchase to help with this.

It’s the thing that is driving them to make changes to their health. Often, it’s something like a new grandchild, fear of getting a lifestyle-related disease, or simply wanting to be more confident and happy in their skin. There’s no right or wrong why, but the why absolutely be powerful enough to keep you going in the mo

One of the most powerful ways to not only stay committed to your fitness and health routine but to actually fall in love with it is by supporting and recruiting those you care about to join you. Less than 7% of people in the western world are “chronic exercisers” – meaning they’re consistent with exercise multiple days per week for an unending timespan. That’s sad and scary. But one of the ways to ensure you get into the 7% is to lift up those around you. Lead them to join yo

The mindset and perspective with which you approach your health and fitness journey can have a huge impact on your results and ability to sustain your results over time. You may have heard this phrase before, and it’s absolutely true: “Workout because you love your body not because you hate it.” If you take action from a place of self-loathing and wanting to fix something that you perceive as “broken", you may find the motivation initially to get some results, but the likelih

This topic can be quite frustrating for those who struggle more with weight loss, so I want to shed some light on this today. A lot of factors play into our weight – the genetics of our body type, our gender (yes, men tend to lose faster than women as a whole), and many other things, but I want to focus on the two most important ones today. The ones we have complete control over. 1. Your metabolism. Yes, some people are just metabolically gifted. Others can’t seem to gain wei
