This past Friday morning, as I was wrapping up my cardio, one of our members, Tim, was finishing his treadmill session right in front of me.As he stepped off, he pulled off his headphones and turned my way. I paused the video on my tablet, said good morning, and asked how his workout went. He... Continue Reading →
From roughly 1992 to about 2000, I was involved with the old Amway business. I never made much money, but it introduced me to the world of personal development, and for that, I will be forever grateful. One of the leaders of my organization, Kenny Stuart, gave a talk once titled “3 is not 20,”... Continue Reading →
We’ve all been there: You start the day strong—crushing your workout, eating clean, knocking out focused work. By mid-afternoon, though? Decisions feel harder. Temptations sneak in.

As a high school freshman, I was good enough to make the golf team, and toward the end of the year, I had the chance to join the local gym. My sole purpose was to boost my golf game—nothing else. But unfortunately for... Continue Reading →
As a master health and nutrition coach, I talk to many people about their weight loss goals. One statement I always make is that I want this to be the last time they ever start a weight loss program. My purpose is to instill in them a belief that they can succeed and to lay... Continue Reading →
The concept is simple and visual: If you own a high-end sports car—a Ferrari F80 or a Porsche 911—you would never dream of driving it without a dashboard. Without a dashboard, you would have no idea of your speed, RPM, whether the check engine light was on, or whether the engine was overheating. You would,... Continue Reading →
I have been an early riser for my entire adult life. A huge part of that is my longstanding preference for strength training first thing in the morning. Even back in college, I would hit the gym right after my early morning classes. Once I entered the workforce, that habit solidified. For nearly 20 years,... Continue Reading →
